Friday: St. Lucie Mets 2, @ Fort Myers Miracle (MIN) 1
Saturday: St. Lucie Mets 3, @ Fort Myers Miracle 0
Lets start on Satuday, with RHP Jacob deGrom's St. Lucie Mets debut. The 24-year old was very good: 7 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 8 K. Listed at 6'4″, 185, deGrom uses those long, loose limbs, to generate one of the best fastballs in the system, regularly throwing 95 and 96 mph. On any given night, he might be 92-96. He uses both a two-seamer with sink, and a four-seamer to spot and use as a chase pitch up. At times, he's shown a usable changeup and slider, while in other starts, he's struggled with feel on his breaking stuff and pitched almost exclusively off his heat.
DeGrom's fastball is among the top five in the Mets system from the right side clearly behind only Domingo Tapia and Zack Wheeler and in a class with Michael Fulmer and Jeurys Familia. I think deGrom's fastball is enough to get him to the big leagues. How his secondary stuff, specifically his slider, develops will dictate whether he can remain a starter. At 24, deGrom (pictured at right, in Savannah) has given up just 78 hits in 96.2 innings between the two a-ball levels this year with a K/BB ratio of 5.1 (86 K/17 BB). He had Tommy John surgery in the fall of 2010, and did not throw a professional inning in 2011, but even at 96.2 innings now, the Mets plan to push deGrom's innings, and have him pitch all the way through the playoffs for St. Lucie.
Mets pitching coordinator Ron Romanick described deGrom's as having a "young arm." Degrom was largely a shortstop in college, and only converted to pitching full-time in his junior year at Stetson. Even so, deGrom has taken to pitching quickly, leading Romanick to praise him for his "real aptitude for what he's doing."
An 0-for-7 weekend dropped RF Cesar Puello down to .241/.303/.371 with a 48/5 K/BB ratio in 48 games at age 21.
Three hits Friday, and a triple on Saturday, pushed CF Alonzo Harris to .291/.366/.437. The 23-year old has a 51/42 K/BB ratio in 99 games. That increase in plate discipline from his former hack-tastic days in Savannah is a really remarkable development for Harris. The speedster is on the old side for a prospect in advanced-A, but as a former 2B, could emerge as a 4th OF/bench type who can also slide down to play second.
Age matters. It always does. What kind of numbers do you think Puello would put up in the FSL in 2014 as a 23-year old?
Friday, Logan Verrett hada nice start: 6.1 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K. In 18.2 innings in the FSL, he's fanned 11 and walked two. Verrett has a better slider than deGrom, but a more ordinary fastball. When he's been good, it's 90-91, touching 93, and when he's been off, it's 88-91.

Reviewer: Neha Vapiwala, MD
Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: June 6, 2004
Presenter: G.J. Herder
Presenter's Affiliation: POORT Study Group, Netherlands
Type of Session: Scientific
The use of FDG-PET scan as an add-on study in non-small-cell-lung-cancer (NSCLC) patients scheduled to undergo surgery has been shown to be a cost-effective and useful tool in guiding patient management. When employed after traditional staging studies, just prior to the planned surgical intervention, PET has revealed previously unsuspected extrathoracic disease and changed the management plan, preventing unnecessary surgery. This study evaluated the use of PET scan as an up-front study, performed upon initial presentation, in lieu of more traditional staging procedures. Its goal was to evaluate if initial PET scanning could simplify the staging process by providing comprehensive and accurate whole-body data equivalent to the information obtained from multiple traditional staging studies. As the appropriate and timely management of NSCLC patients is so strongly dependent on the patient's stage, any simplification of the process is worthy of investigation.
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
The data presented here offer some interesting insight on the use of FDG-PET as an initial part of staging NSCLC patients. Whereas the role of PET as an additonal tool following completion of standard imaging and other work-up tests has been demonstrated to be a cost-effective tool that can prevent unnecessary surgical intervention, the data here are not as encouraging for PET as a substitution tool. Although its use provided data of comparable accuracy to more traditional workup, there was no siginificant benefit in terms of reduction in cost or number of studies. However, PET did help to shorten the staging process by 9 days, which is important for the expeditious treatment of NSCLC patients.
Of note, most staging studies and procedures in the Netherlands are ordered by the pulmonologists and oncologists, often after conferreing with each other on each patient case. Given the long enrollment period, the issue is raised of changing practice patterns and increasing expertise on the part of radiologists in radiographic study interpretation, and the possible effect of this on the study data. However, the authors state that clinical practice trends did not change significantly over the time period of the study, thereby reducing the effect of this potential confounder. Nonetheless, it is interesting to note that there was only a 20% staging error with the traditonal workup in this trial, markedly better than the typical 40% error rate reported previously with traditional imaging studies. Regardless, the PET scan was able to meet this standard of accuracy. Future studies may further explore the use of PET as a complementary staging tool rather than a substitutive one.

Comments about Sockwell Socks Circulator Sock (Women's):
My fiance bought these for me when I complained about my feet being sore after work all day. I stand all day on concrete floors. During the summer I wore my Chacos, but for fall and winter, I get to wear boots. EVERY day that I have my boots on or shoes and long pants, you can bet I have my sockwell compression socks on underneath. They are perfect for keeping the blood circulating, and they really ease the sore muscles. Paired with my new SUPERFEET, these babies are unstoppable. I wear them on long bike rides as well: Not only do they help keep my feet well circulated, they also keep my feet at the perfect temperature in this mid-fall weather!

Comments about Sockwell Socks Circulator Sock (Women's):
The size chart is very accurate. I have poor circulation in my lower legs from knee injuries and need compression socks on all day. As a nurse I am on my feet all day, and these socks give just the right amount of support to stop my leg pain and decrease my fatigue. They have a wonderful amount of cushion on the bottom of the feet and are thick like regular socks, not thin and easily torn like most compression hose. The length is perfect for me, the top of these knee highs is just below my knee cap, so no binding or pinching at the back of the knee! I alos wear the socks comfotably in my boots and they don't fall down at all. Deffinately worth the investment!

When the state DEC office in Potsdam receives a phone call regarding a black bear, the call typically means there is some threat of an unwanted human-bear interaction. Such was not the case in late May, though, when a caller in the Harrisville area reported a black bear with its head stuck in a metal can.
I dont have a lot details on the incident, but heres what I do know.
After significant efforts by the DEC wildlife staff in the Potsdam office, the bear was captured during the evening of Friday, June 6. DEC law enforcement then successfully tranquilized the captured bear. Apparently the question at the time was, What do we do with a bear whose head is firmly entrenched in 10-gallon, old-style milk can?
Im not sure who came up with the idea to contact the Harrisville Fire Department whose personnel appeared on the scene with their Jaws of Life cutters and who successfully removed the can from the bears head. Anyway, once the bear recovered from the effects of the tranquilizer, the bear was released, and according to Steve Litwhiler of the Watertown DEC office, The bear was in excellent condition overall, although a bit thin probably due to difficulty with foraging.
This story had a happy ending thanks to a team effort on the part of various individuals. First of all, private citizens contacted DEC regarding the bears plight and locations. Then DEC wildlife and law enforcement staff trapped and tranquilized the bear. Finally, Harrisville fire and rescue personnel removed the milk can.
Whether its the world of business, sports, or whatever, good things happen when people work as a team, and the Harrisville bear story is evidence of what can be accomplished through teamwork.
DEC has announced the tentative dates for this falls waterfowl seasons. The dates become official, though, only after approval by the federal government in late summer.
The traditional Early Canada Goose Season for the Northeast Goose Hunting Area will run from Sept. 1-25, and the daily bag limit is nine geese. The Regular Canada Goose Season runs from Oct. 26 to Nov. 17 and from Nov. 19 through Dec. 15, and the daily limit for the Regular Season is three birds. Regulations allow for a 50-day Canada Goose Season so by closing the season for a day on Monday, Nov. 18, hunters will have an extra weekend day to hunt geese. DEC deserves praise for creating the one-day closure as it affords the working man an additional hunting day.
The Waterfowl Season for the Northeast Zone will again consist of two sessions with the first running from Oct. 5-13 and the second extending from Oct. 26 through December 15. The two sessions total 60 days that include 10 weekends, and the daily limit is six ducks with restrictions on various species.
Begun in 1996, Youth Waterfowl Hunt Days are again scheduled for this coming fall. For the Northeast Zone, those days are Saturday-Sunday, Sept. 21-22, and youths may hunt both ducks and geese.
John Ashley-Cooper: One thing becomes clearer as one gets older and ones fishing experience increases, and that is the paramount importance of ones fishing companions.
Charles K. Fox: The angler is never a has-been. He enjoys a lifetime of participation which continues through noon, then on into the sunset, and even into the eventide of life.
Geoffrey Norman: No fisherman ever fishes as much as he wants to.

This Jacket is one of the most iconic around. Nothing tops the Adidas superstar track jacket. From Run DMC, to Jay Kay, to Sporty Spice, this jacket has been a fashion icon for decades. (I tend to relate it most to 90's/millennium fashion because that is when I was born) The secret is the ribbed collar. If people see you rocking that ribbed coller, you know what you are doing.

I purchased the white one and it makes quite an impression with the contrasting red and navy blue accents. I'm 5'7"with muscular build at 175lbs and found the medium fit like a glove, but opted for the large to have a little more space, esp. for the winter when i wear bulkier shirts under the jacket. If you're slimmer, the medium will probably fit perfect. Love the shorter collar (esp. if you have longer hair) as a nice change from all my other jackets that have taller ones. As with most of their products, has great quality feel to it and amazing attention to detail. My only gripe is with the zipper, which is made of metal with larger spacings between the teeth, and so doesn't glide as smoothly as the ones made of plastic, but that's really nitpicking at this point! ... read more
Bought in normal size, XS, and length & fit is fine, though a bit snug when closed. Moreover, I also felt that the sleeves were marginally longer than normal, so that is something to bear in mind. Overall though, a very neat and stylish product. ... read more

And quick delivery....what more can you ask... Really good purchase. ... read more
I noticed with Adidas pants that you should always go a size smaller than what you are. i bought these in a medium with hopes that they would fit me like they do the guy in the picture. but unfortunately they do not. i'm about 5'7-5'8 with a 31-32 waist size and i sent them back in for a small and tried them on an they fit just like the picture. i have bought other Adidas pants and have noticed the same as well. but overall they are nice sweats and i would recommend purchasing. ... read more
What quality! You expect a certain level of professionalism when you come to Adidas because they're a huge brand and with some products they hit just below the bar.

Jefferson Community College will offer two certificate programs next year to help north country residents enter health-care careers.
Andrea C. Pedrick, coordinator of community services, said the college decided to add a dental assisting and clinical medical assistant program to the Directorate of Human Resources Education Center Annex, 10450 5th Armored Division Road, Fort Drum, early next year after staff reviewed job trends and where the college could reach more people.
We schedule so many trainings on campus in the spring, but we have the annex there and I think it will serve a different population, or those people who cant get on campus, she said.
Participants may sign up for either program now, but Ms. Pedrick said shed strongly encourage people to attend both programs information sessions at 6 p.m. Jan. 23 on campus, 1220 Coffeen St., because course fees are not refundable. No application is required for the nine-week dental assisting program, and the cost is $1,199, which includes textbooks and preparation for the DANB Radiology Health and Safety Examination. The $175 cost of the exam is not included in the program fee.
Ms. Pedrick said financial aid is not available for certificate program costs. The clinical medical assistant program is a 20-week training that will cost $2,399 and includes textbooks and preparation for students eligible to take the National Healthcareer Association certified medical assistant national exam.
Both programs are open to the public, but have a 20-person capacity because space is limited in the colleges Fort Drum annex.
Ms. Pedrick said there is no application required for the dental assisting program because dental offices dont require a national exam or test prior to employment. That is required, however, of clinical medical assistants.
Clinical medical assistants do everything from injections to phlebotomy to EKG, and it gives people an opportunity to see what its like in a doctors office, she said. They can go to an employer and say, Ive done it all.
According to the state Department of Labor, employment for both jobs looks favorable in the north country. According to the departments list of the 10 most common occupations for ambulatory health-care services, medical assistants are ranked number 5 with a median salary of $28,416 and dental assistants are ranked number 6 with a median salary of $30,406.
For more information on either program, visit the colleges Continuing Education Facebook page, www.facebook.com/sunyjefferson continuingeducation.

Let's cut through the hype: Mineral makeup is truly nothing more than loose or pressed powder. It isn't revolutionary, safer, or unique in any meaningful way. By any name, technically speaking, mineral makeup is simply a type of powder foundation. If you apply a light layer it serves as a finishing powder. Apply a little more and it works more like foundation providing light to full coverage. Mineral makeup is not a must-have product, but rather a marketing contrivance.Read More Below
Ironically the original lines to launch "mineral" makeup were about as natural as polyester. Companies like Bare Escentuals and Jane Iredale used bismuth oxychloride as the main "mineral" ingredient, yet bismuth oxychloride is not found in nature! Bismuth oxychloride is manufactured by combining bismuth, a by-product of lead and copper metal refining mixed with chloride (a compound from chlorine), and water. Its use in cosmetics is due to its distinct shimmery, pearlescent appearance and its fine white powder texture that adheres well to skin. That doesn't make it bad for skin, it just makes the marketing claims false.
On the downside, bismuth oxychloride is heavier than talc and can look cakey on skin. For some people, the bismuth and chloride combination can be irritating. All the claims revolving around how mineral makeups are better for skin or are somehow equivalent to skin care is nothing more than clever marketing. They are not supported by published research, nor is there any research proving regular liquid (or other types of) foundations are inferior to mineral makeup.
For detailed reviews of mineral makeup from several different brands visit Beautypedia.
Most mineral makeups are capable of providing opaque coverage (this can be blended to within light to medium coverage range), yet the claim is they do so while looking extremely natural, like a second skin or better than your own skin, which appears to be the case in pictures and on TV infomercials (and just like every other makeup application created for advertising).
In real life, that is not what you will actually see. These powders (most of which are tricky to blend because they tend to "grab" onto skin and don't glide very well once they touch your skin) can be applied sheer, but the very nature of their ingredients results in a textured application that can look powdery and "made-up". This is especially true if you have any dry patches on the skin because these mineral powders—many of which claim to be moisturizing which is just ludicrous given the properties of all powder materials, which are absorbent not moisturizing—exacerbate dryness and flaking.
For those with oily skin, mineral makeup can eventually pool in pores and look thick and layered just like any powder can. Generally speaking, mineral makeup is best for normal to slightly oily skin (meaning no signs of dryness and little to no problem oily areas). It is not preferred for breakout-prone skin, nor does it look amazing over wrinkled skin.
There is no research anywhere proving that mineral makeup is inherently better for skin than other types of foundation. Most of the skin care attributes ascribed to mineral makeup are distantly linked to research about zinc oxide. But zinc oxide is a standard ingredient in lots of sunscreens (and some liquid foundations or tinted moisturizers) and is not unique to mineral makeup.
While zinc oxide does have healing properties for skin (it is FDA-approved as a skin protectant, and a common active ingredient in diaper rash ointments), those healing properties have to do with skin whose barrier has been compromised, such as wounds, ulcers, or rashes. In those cases, zinc oxide can facilitate healing (Source: Wound Repair and Regeneration, January/February 2007, pages 2–16). But those studies used pure zinc oxide, the test didn't include products that also contain other ingredients, such as mica or bismuth oxychloride, or have anything to do with healthy, intact skin.
Mineral makeup is often recommended for those with rosacea but because rosacea is a fickle skin disorder that can be made worse by powders (the granular composition of any powder can be an irritant) it isn't a slam dunk.
Mineral makeup can work well as a sunscreen as long as the product itself is rated with an SPF 25 or greater, and greater is better, and you can wear it over a moisturizer with sunscreen to get more protection. As is true for any product with an SPF rating, in order to get the right amount of thorough protection, liberal application is essential, which means a sheer light layer of mineral makeup won't work for protecting your skin from the sun.
If you're currently using mineral makeup and love the results, that's great. The goal of this article is to present the positive and negative points of this type of makeup, and to allow you to make an informed decision as whether or not it's the right type of foundation for you. Once the hype is debunked, you may want to consider a foundation that is less messy or less drying, or less iridescent, or less cakey, which are all part of the problems you can encounter with mineral makeup. But if you're using a mineral makeup now and love the results (and aren't experiencing any problems) by all means stick with it!
The ingredients below are those commonly used in mineral makeup. Keep reading for an explanation of their effect and usefulness.
Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide: These serve as the sunscreen in many mineral makeups. At the same time, they provide enhanced coverage and a matte finish. Keep in mind that even when these proven mineral sunscreens are listed in the formula, it is still imperative to check that one or both of them are listed as active ingredients and the product is rated with an SPF 25 or greater. Simply having titanium dioxide or zinc oxide in the formula is not a guarantee of sun protection. Without an SPF rating resulting from FDA-mandated sunscreen tests, you won't know just how much protection you're getting, and that's dangerous for the health of your skin.
Although these two minerals are ideal sunscreen agents for those with sensitive skin or conditions such as rosacea, their occlusive nature can contribute to clogged pores. This isn't new information, yet it doesn't stop companies selling mineral makeup from advertising their product as being ideal for those suffering from acne or breakouts, with some companies actually stating their mineral makeup helps cure it (an absolute falsehood with no published research proving otherwise)!
Mineral makeup powders often contain a 25% concentration of titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide. Liquid foundations or lotions with SPF 25 using only titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide as the sunscreen active ingredients tend to contain a much smaller concentration of these pigments. The amount of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide in mineral makeups create the coverage and opaque quality of the powder, allowing more coverage than the usual talc-based powders. However, if you have determined that liquid foundations with titanium dioxide or zinc oxide exacerbate your breakouts, it is quite possible that a mineral makeup containing an even larger concentration of those ingredients will have the same, if not a more pronounced, effect.
What is true is when mineral makeup companies speak of the non-irritating nature of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Neither is known for causing an irritant response or sensitizing reaction on skin (Sources: Cosmetics & Toiletries, October 2003, pages 73–78; and Cutis, September 2004, pages 13–16 and 32–34).
Bismuth oxychloride: This is the common thread that shows up in almost every mineral makeup product being sold. It's a grayish-white, inorganic powder with a natural metallic shine. The binding properties of bismuth oxychloride are what give the mineral makeups containing it their smoothness and texture. Its thicker texture demands more careful application, which is why most mineral makeup companies recommend special flat-cut, dense powder brushes to work the product into the skin. This method of application also provides considerable coverage and helps ensure longer wear.
Bismuth in and of itself seldom occurs in nature. Instead, it is manufactured synthetically. The International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary and Handbook, Eleventh Edition, 2006, lists bismuth oxychloride as a synthetic.
Actually, bismuth is chemically similar to arsenic. That is more shocking than significant, but that kind of fact is similar to what mineral makeup companies use to make you scared of the ingredients in other powders not deemed "mineral makeup." Just like cosmetic grade mineral oil is not related to the crude petroleum from which it originates, neither is bismuth oxychloride identical to bismuth and therefore, the arsenic association is irrelevant. Rest assured that the bismuth oxychloride used in cosmetics is indeed non-toxic. This is just a good example of how skewed a company's definition of "natural" can be, and how they can twist factual information to make other cosmetic company ingredients sound harmful.
Unlike titanium dioxide or zinc oxide, bismuth oxychloride can cause slight skin irritation (Source: www.sciencelab.com/xMSDS-Bismuth_oxychloride-9923103). Although talc has the same potential for slight irritation, bismuth oxychloride is more likely to cause an allergic contact dermatitis due to its pearlescent nature (Source: www.emedicine.com/derm/topic502.htm). This is more of a concern when bismuth oxychloride is the main ingredient in a cosmetic, as it is for many mineral makeups.
Mica: is a mineral silicate with a crystalline shine. It is used as pigment in most mineral makeups (as well as in many eyeshadows, blushes, and powders in general) to add a luminescent shine to the product's finish. Mica comprises a group of crystallized minerals that naturally occur in thin, separated sheets. It is available in a variety of colors from pale green to black, and is also available colorless. Compared to bismuth oxychloride, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide, mica has a nearly weightless and noticeably silky texture. Some women–particularly those with oily skin–may not like the shine mica imparts because it makes oily areas look shinier. And for those with noticeable wrinkles it can make skin look more wrinkled than it really is. In the long run this is only an esthetic issue which makes mica a benign addition to any makeup, "mineral" or otherwise.
Talc: Many mineral makeups contain talc while others malign it as an evil, cancer-causing substance. The truth is that talc is a mineral and completely natural. Companies selling mineral makeup often speak of the talc used in other pressed and loose powders as being harmful and carcinogenic, but the research doesn't support this hysteria in the least. Although there is epidemiological evidence that frequent use of pure talc over the female genital area may increase the risk of ovarian cancer, this evidence does not prove a direct link. Further research has shown this epidemiological evidence to be questionable. A comprehensive review of several studies in Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology (August 2002, pages 40–50) stated that "Talc is not genotoxic, [and] is not carcinogenic when injected into ovaries of rats. There is no credible evidence of a cancer risk from inhalation of cosmetic talc by humans." None of the research about the use of talc is related to the way women use makeup. There is no indication anywhere that there is any risk for the face when using products that contain talc. What is more significant is that there is no research showing that many other ingredients used in mineral makeup don't pose their own risks. Just because research hasn't been done on those ingredients they don't get a free pass.
Dismissing talc as a cheap, inelegant, less desirable, filler material is inaccurate because talc serves as the essential backbone for a number of the most luxurious-feeling powders from dozens of lines ranging from L'Oreal to Chanel. The best among those powders have a softness and virtually seamless finish on the skin that most mineral makeup lines should envy. The higher grades of talc are not "filler" materials, they are essential to creating a powder's gossamer texture and skin-like finish. And you'll be pleased to know that many cosmetic lines use high grades of talc.
Additional sources for the information on talc: International Journal of Cancer, November 2004, pages 458–464; and Anticancer Research, March–April 2003, pages 1,955–1,960.

UPDATE -10:30 p.m.
BALDWIN, Mich. (WZZM/Detroit Free Press) -- Police say former Grand Valley State quarterback Cullen Finnerty's body has been found.
Finnerty was found in the woods tonight after disappearing Sunday. Lake County Sheriff Robert Hilts confirmed the death at a news conference.
"We were walking a good line," said Scott Boyd, who was on the search party that found the body. "I squatted down. We had seen some trail. And a girl shouted. She walked right up on it. I thought, 'Oh no.' "
Boyd sat on a curb, staring off into space.
"I can't believe it," Boyd said.
Finnerty was fishing alone Sunday on the Baldwin River northeast of Baldwin. His family owns a cabin near Bray State Forest. Police say Finnerty called his wife Sunday night and said he was in danger, according to Hilts.
About 100 current and former football players and coaches from Grand Valley State searched through the thick, swampy woods northeast of Baldwin this afternoon, looking for Finnerty. The football players broke up and worked in small teams, stretching out, working slowly through the dense forest, focusing on 2 square miles of private and public land about 65 miles north of Grand Rapids.
Finnerty was found wearing fishing waders and a camouflaged jacket. He was in the woods about a half mile north of where he disappeared while on a fishing trip. There were no apparent injuries and no signs of foul play, according to Hilts.
"There was nothing obvious to us, to the view, of anything that would have caused his death," Hilts said.
An autopsy will be performed.
Finnerty, who was the starting quarterback on Division II national championship teams in 2003, '05 and '06, had spent the holiday weekend with family near Baldwin, according to his father-in-law, Dan Brink of Muskegon.
"We had brats and hamburgers on Saturday and grilled chicken on Sunday," Brink said. "Everything was cool. It was a great weekend. We had a lot of smiles, a lot of laughs. There were no indications. There were no problems."
Brink said Finnerty decided to go fishing Sunday night.
"It was a nice night on Sunday and we thought, 'There is a nice stretch of the river,' and he got himself one of those boats, and he had been practicing on it. It's a riverboat, a raft.
"We were only a quarter mile from each other," Brink continued. "He ended up exactly where we told him to end up."
After Finnerty called his wife, he disappeared.
Police found his small boat but no fishing equipment.
Finnerty, 30, was married with two small children. He was a star quarterback at Brighton High School.
"This sucks man," said Joe Wohlscheid, who played offensive line when Finnerty was at GVSU. "Cullen was a great guy."
BALDWIN, Mich. (WZZM) -- The body of former GVSU quarterback Cullen Finnerty has been found in Lake County.
Finnerty's former football coach tells WZZM 13 Finnerty's body was recovered around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Lake County Sheriff Bob Hilts says a search crew found Finnerty's body half of a mile north of where his pontoon boat was found.
Investigators say the body was discovered deep in the woods under a thick pine tree. There were no visible wounds or apparent cause of death.
Police do not yet have a theory on the cause of death and are treating it as a crime scene.
An autopsy will likely be performed as soon as Wednesday.

Eventhough AT&T's own Ralph de la Vega mentioned all the way back in November 2008 that you would be able to tether your iPhone to your personal computer and use it as a modem "soon" it looks like we are still quite a ways away from seeing this functionality. Even with many iPhone carriers around the world deploying this tethering feature as soon as Apple had it ready it seems that AT&T's silence is saying more than they want it to. Tech website Engadget reached out to AT&T and received this feedback concerning iPhone tethering on the AT&T network:
"We understand that there is great interest in tethering but cannot provide any details at this time. We know that iPhone users love their devices and mobile broadband, and that they're likely to embrace tethering just as they have other features and apps – by using it a lot. iPhone tethering has the potential to exponentially increase traffic, and we need to ensure that we're able to deliver excellent performance for the feature – over and above the increases in data traffic we're already seeing – before we will offer the feature."
While it does make sense for AT&T to ensure their network can handle the increased load that would accompany iPhone users being able to use their phone as a modem for their personal computers they better hurry up and figure out a solution quickly or risk losing business customers to Verizon. Verizon recently announced that their Palm Mobile Hotspot app would be a free add on with the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus that is sure to draw the attention of many business customers and frequent travelers that would benefit from being able to use their mobile device as a mobile hot spot while on the road.

WADDINGTON Competitors donned their flannel shirts, hoisted their toilet seats and made sure plenty of beer was on hand for Sundays Redneck Winter Games.
Teams with names like the Durty Britches and the Pork Pistols competed in games such as toilet seat horseshoes and frozen turkey bowling to raise money for the Bassmaster Elite Series St. Lawrence River Showdown, a high-profile professional fishing tournament that will be held in August in Waddington.
I grew up on a farm, so hopefully that will help, said contestant Brooke A. Knight of Waddington.
Prizes were given to the winning team, but the games were more about getting into the redneck spirit than any real sense of competition.
Were here to get drunk, have fun and raise money for a good cause, said Joel L. Hockey of Ogdensburg.
Mr. Hockey was one of several men wearing dresses for the games. One of the events was a women-only frying-pan toss, and teams without enough women were forced to make do.
Some tested their equilibrium by mounting a motorized mechanical bull made from a padded oil drum. Others tapped into their rural roots, taking up pitchforks for the hay bale toss.
Ive tossed a few hay bales in my day, said Jessica L. Regan of Norfolk.
Her teammate, Mike A. Emlaw of Norfolk, had other priorities.
We came out for the beer, I think, he said.
The weather was near zero degrees, but this did not stop the competitors.
Its a little cold, but it should be fun, said Alexandra L. Gausby of Waddington.
The games were created by Deanna Shampine, the event coordinator who is organizing Waddingtons fundraising efforts for the upcoming tournament.
She first thought of frozen turkey bowling, but as more and more outlandish events were suggested, the Redneck Winter Games were created.
More fundraisers will be held monthly leading up to the St. Lawrence River Showdown in August.
The town hopes to raise $100,000 for the event, which may bring as much as $1.5 million in revenue to the region, according to Ms. Shampine.
Its considered a prestigious honor to be chosen as a host city, and they chose Waddington, she said.
Itll bring people here for years to come.

10 Ways to Improve Your Home's Curb Appeal
A contractor could be in your home and around your family for days, weeks, or even months while changing the way your house looks and functions. So if you don't like a contractor for any reason, don't hire him or her, says Tony LaPelusa, president of LaPelusa Home Improvements, Inc., in Niles, Ill., and past president of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry.
"The biggest thing is choosing the right contractor," he explains. "If somebody says something that's even an embellishment, it's enough of a reason not to trust him and move on to the next contractor. You have to trust the contractor 100 percent, not 95 percent."
Having a license and insurance demonstrates a contractor's credibility and knowledge, says Bob Peterson, CGR, CAPS, CGP, co-owner of Associates in Building & Design Ltd., in Fort Collins, Colo., and chairman of the NAHB Remodelers Council. The license shows that contractors have taken an exam and proved they know building codes and processes. "A license minimizes the risk to homeowners of getting ripped off," he says. To be sure, get the contractor's license number.
If a contractor doesn't have insurance and a worker gets hurt on your project, you could be liable. The same goes with accidents that damage your next-door neighbor's home. "If you have scaffolding that fell and damaged the property next door, you want the contractor's liability to cover the cost of that damage," LaPelusa says. Get proof of insurance.
3. Pick a contractor who specializes in your project type.
