WYNNEWOOD — Jace Brown's first drive at Wynnewood was a memorable one.
He hopes his last will offer even better memories.
WYNNEWOOD — Jace Brown's first drive at Wynnewood was a memorable one.
He hopes his last will offer even better memories.
The senior quarterback will guide the Savages against Ringling in the Class A state championship at 1 p.m. Saturday in Stillwater.
"It's pretty nice knowing that all your work in the summer and in two-a-days is paying off," Brown said. "It's finally here and we have a chance to be a state champion and playing in Boone Pickens Stadium is pretty nice."
When Brad O'Steen arrived at Wynnewood, it didn't take him long to realize the freshman would give his team the best chance to win.
"From the first day of practice, we knew," O'Steen said. "He understands what his role is and does what it takes to help us win."
Once Brown got on the field in a game situation, O'Steen's feelings were quickly confirmed.
In the 2009 season opener against a Davis team that went on to go 12-1, Brown marched Wynnewood right down the field on the first drive, throwing a touchdown pass to put the Savages on the board.
"That was kind of a realizing moment that this could be my job as the quarterback," Brown said.
Wynnewood went on to lose that game 49-14, but the way Brown handled that initial jolt of pressure stuck with O'Steen.

This week's EOL podcast begins with a riddle about a life form that's all around us, yet rarely seen. Working under cover, it sends its ghostly tendrils into almost every corner of the terrestrial world. We associate it with death and decay, but life as we know it would be impossible without it.
Ugandan lepidopterist Perpetra Akite studies at a university in the capital city, far from the farm where she grew up. Since she began studying butterflies as a girl, the landscape of her homeland has changed radically, for butterflies as well as people. It's change that can be measured in many ways—in the inches of rainfall, acres of forest cleared—or the span of a tiny butterfly's wings. Ari Daniel Shapiro reports from Kigale.
In this podcast, Ari Daniel Shapiro joins the serious beachcombers along the high-tide line of Sanibel Island, Florida. These "shellers" come in search of beautiful sea shells, sometimes no bigger than a grain of rice, that are the remains of marine snails, bivalves, and other mollusks.

According to their latest campaign slogan, OIS is on. But Nokia's marketing team is way off in recent ads for the Lumia 920.
As Mashable reported the day of the device's September 5th unveiling, Nokia's been left with pants ablaze after two independent bloggers discovered that images and video used to promote the new Lumia 920 were misleading.
To clarify, the campaign's entire raison d'être was to pump up the Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) technology used for the new Nokia Lumia's "Pure View" camera. The argument here is that OIS makes for better pictures and video.
The campaign, shot in Helsinki, presents a model in different scenarios, with split screens labeled "OIS Off" and "OIS On." Obviously, the images and video clips labelled "OIS On" are clearer, and even have a more artistic appeal. The only problem is, they're fakes.
Neither the campaign photos nor the video were shot using the Lumia 920. Instead, a leaked picture of the photo shoot showed artificial lighting and professional equipment.
Since the story's emerged, Nokia has issued an apology, while still trying to cover its own ass. In an emailed statement, Nokia spokesperson Brett Young told Mashable:
"The video was produced while the Nokia Lumia 920 was in early prototype and still not ready to show the full benefits of the amazing innovation it contains."
That's like McDonald's saying the Big Mac in their ads only looks so big and juicy because the squashed sandwich you received with your order wasn't ready to display yet.
Nevertheless, says Young, "while there was no intention to mislead, the failure to add a disclaimer to the video was obviously a mistake."
Apology aside, the campaign video now also contains a disclaimer that clarifies the footage is a "simulation of OIS technology."
Meanwhile, Nokia has posted some real photos on their site that were shot in low light with the Lumia 920 and without "artificial lighting or stands." These are compared with similar images shot with competitors' devices. Assuming the new Lumia's pictures are the real deal, they do look quite good.

Engaging site redesign focuses on five areas of importance to Exelon
CHICAGO -- Exelon reinforces its corporate vision and environmental commitment in its new and improved corporate Web site at www.exeloncorp.com. The site now features easy-to-use navigation tools and fresher, more focused content about Exelon and its family of companies.
"Our new site tells a more comprehensive and complete story about Exelon – what we do, who we are, what we are committed to, and how we perform," said Laura Duda, vice president of communications for Exelon. "For example, given Exelon's focus on environmental leadership, we now have an entire section devoted to the efforts being made across the corporation, including our support for climate legislation and updates on Exelon 2020, our business and environmental strategy to eliminate the equivalent of our 2001 carbon footprint by 2020."
The site's content focuses on five key areas of importance to Exelon: energy, environment, community, people & culture, and performance.
Energy: This section includes an overview of Exelon's generation, delivery, transmission and marketing operations, including profiles of its more than 30 power plants and two utilities.
Environment: Visitors can find details on Exelon 2020 or learn more about how Exelon is addressing climate change through Exelon 2020 in this section. Also available is the company's corporate environmental policy, background on its environment-related partnerships and affiliations, and key data describing the company's impact on land, water, air and biodiversity.
Community: Given Exelon's commitment to be a responsible corporate citizen, the Community section shares its efforts to improve the quality of life in the areas it serves. It includes information on sponsorships, volunteerism, public safety, and giving and grants. The site also breaks out Exelon's impact on the six primary states where it does business directly or through its operating companies – ComEd, PECO, Exelon Generation (Nuclear and Power) and Exelon Transmission.
People & Culture: Prospective employees can access lists of open company positions and gain a sense of what it is like to work for Exelon. The section also includes an overview of the corporate structure, leadership bios, profiles of employees, and benefits of working at Exelon. It also features Exelon's commitment to diversity and inclusion, as well as high ethical standards.
Performance: This section highlights Exelon's recent financial, operational and environmental performance, which will be updated quarterly. Also available is information on Exelon's growth strategy and the company's views on various aspects of national energy policy.
The new design provides shortcuts on the homepage, such as Investors and Careers, to give users direct access to some of the most commonly searched information on the site. The Newsroom now features a new Downloads page that allows users to quickly access the latest fact sheets and photos, as well as a mechanism to filter press releases by company, location, topic, theme, type or year. Visitors can also sign up for news feeds and e-mail alerts for financial information.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately $17 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 485,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

Lot's and lots of car air freshners, preferably strawberry! ;D But if you want a classier smell, I don't know.
Now incense is nice and all but it only makes your room smell nice for a short while. Do any of you guys have any secret techniques on making your room smell nice? I don't have an odor problem and yea I am a guy but, when I bring chicks over and take that first whiff of my room I'd like them to say "Hey, it smells nice in here. This is no regular guy!"
Lot's and lots of car air freshners, preferably strawberry! ;D But if you want a classier smell, I don't know.
I think incense is the best way. Or scented candles, though those are kinda fruity.
My room was built recently, the walls done with pine boards, and it hasn't stopped smelling nice yet =)
as for advice, clean your carpet well, and keep the pets out.
Glade Plugins! You can buy a bunch of them and plug them into various outlets around your room. Guarenteed to work well.
My prefered technique is to keep the dirty laundry off the floor but I don't suppose that's what you're asking for..
Yeah, I'd say keep dirty washing off the floor and keep the window open, leaves the room smelling clean
I used to light up tons of incense and that seemed to work but, if I'm going to inhale all that smoke it should be coming from a bong!
My room always smells during the summer. It's an addition to the house, and we didn't put a AC vent in this room, so it's got it's own AC sticking in the wall. It's nice and cool in here, but it gets a bit musty and smells like stagnant water. :-/ Oh well, the smell goes away if you open the door for a few mins.

Do you know the spray-on deodorant "Axe"? If you can find it where you are, pick up a can of the "Kilo" scent. If you can't, any spray-on deodorant will do (NOT air freshener...that makes your room smell like a woman's). Now the bong comment leads me to believe that you are chronic. Here's my way of impressing company. I hotbox my room around a half hour to 40 minutes before "company" comes over, and then give the entire place a few sprays of the Kilo. Close the door, leave it for 40 minutes or so, and come back. More often than not the air will be filled with a rich, sweet smell (TOTALLY unlike the good ganja). Give it a shot. I've also had success opening the window a crack when leaving it to sit.

See it at the Movies
One for the Money
1 star
Reviewer's Rating:
(Terrible crime/comedy)
Katherine Heigl stars as a rookie bounty hunter chasing her old high school sweetheart (Jason O'Mara) in what has to be one of the worst movies of the century. The plot is slow, stupid, poorly written and acted, plodding along as if the actors were making it up and rushing to reach the stupid end. I won't waste any more of your or our time.
There was no rating on this one. It's either R for Rotten or PG-13 for Pretty Grim Times 13. Some profanity and violence.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Clifton A. "Chip" Woodrum, a country lawyer from Roanoke who paired a quick wit with his vast command of literature in nearly 25 years in Virginia's House of Delegates has died. He was 74.
Former House Majority Leader Richard Cranwell said Wednesday that Woodrum died Tuesday in Florida.
Details weren't immediately available.
Woodrum, a Democrat, served in the House from 1980 until he retired from elective office after the 2003 session.
His amazing recall of history, poetry and classics, employed with passion and gentle humor in legislative debate, ranked him annually among Virginia's most persuasive and quotable lawmakers.

Do we really understand what courts are for in America? I mean, do even really smart, educated people like (I realize I'm going out on a limb here) lawyers and people with prestigious titles like "U.S. Senator" in front of their names really understand and appreciate the role of the courts? Or does it all get run over and crushed by the pressure of politics?
Take Richard Blumenthal, please. The Connecticut Democrat is a freshman member of the U.S. Senate but hardly a novice in the fields of law and politics. He is a 65-year-old graduate of two of the nation's most prestigious Ivy League institutions, Harvard College and Yale Law School. He is a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives and served for two decades as Connecticut's Attorney General. All of which makes a recent statement by Blumenthal in a Senate debate all the more remarkable and all the more embarrassing, one hopes, to Harvard, Yale, and the sensible people of Connecticut. (I despair of finding anything capable of embarrassing the U.S. House or Senate.)

CANTON A Railroad Avenue resident will have to wait until next month to find out if the village board will approve a zoning change that would allow him to convert a single-family home into two or three apartments.
Richard W. Grover, 2 Railroad Ave., wants a house he owns next door at 4 Railroad Ave. to be rezoned from Residential-1 to Residential-2.
Following a public hearing Monday evening, the village board held off making a decision because members had procedural questions for Village Attorney Gerald J. Ducharme, who was absent from the meeting. The board is expected to make a decision at its April 7 meeting.
According to village code, R-1 districts are restricted to single-family homes, while R-2 zones allow multiple-family units. Mr. Grover purchased the two-story home two years ago for $12,500 at a St. Lawrence County tax sale auction after the property was seized for unpaid taxes.
He wants to restore the adjacent Victorian-style home, which has fallen into disrepair. He would like to rent to couples or small families, but is not ruling out the possibility of renting to college students.
All of the other properties on Railroad Avenue are already zoned R-2, so the switch wouldnt alter the neighborhoods character, he said.
Im pursuing the idea of renovating it into two or three apartments, Mr. Grover said. Theres a lot of work to do, but the home is structurally sound. Theres not a lot of rental housing choices in Canton, so Im told.
The village Planning Board reviewed the request and does not oppose the zone change. The St. Lawrence County Planning Office returned the request for local action with a recommendation that local officials consider the effect on traffic.
Mr. Grover said very few cars travel down the dead-end street; he doesnt believe two or three apartments would have a large impact. None of the adjoining property owners attended the hearing and no concerns were submitted in writing.
Theres no traffic on this road. You could probably count on one hand the number of vehicles that come down this road, he said. I hope to make this an asset to the community and the village.

|Drug Counts, Card Thefts in Crime News
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 21 June 2011 05:15
Last Tuesday evening, deputies with the Avery County Sheriff's Office assisted the NC Probation and Parole Officers at a residence in the Ingalls area of Avery County with an arrest. 27 year old Margaret Quinn was arrested and charged with possession of amphetamine.
And officers with Avery County Sheriff's Office are investigating a report of a stolen debit card being used at two separate locations in Spruce Pine—a card reported as stolen in Avery County. The incident is under investigation and the suspect has been identified—and may also be involved in another crime reported on June 17th involving a stolen prescription passed at a drug store in Spruce Pine.

The Pro Bono Program at CUA Law is on the spectrum of experiential learning opportunities available to students throughout their tenure here. Pro bono projects enable students to apply lessons learned in the classroom out in the community, advancing their professional development while benefiting those in need of services. Participation is voluntary, and the range of options available to CUA law students being sited in nation's capital is extensive.
The following criteria, modeled after ABA Model Rule 6.1, must be met for a student's work to qualify as pro bono for the purposes of recognition by the CUA Law Pro Bono Program:
1. The law student must engage in law-related activities.
2. The law student's work must be supervised and/or approved by an attorney.
3. No academic credit or financial compensation may be received for the work.
4. The law-related services must be provided for free or at a substantially reduced rate.
5. The law-related activities must be on behalf of:
a. person(s) of limited financial means; or
b. person(s) with limited access to legal representation; or
c. nonprofit, civic, community, religious or governmental organizations seeking to promote access to justice.
6. The project must be approved by the Pro Bono Coordinator. A student may submit hours for a project after it has been completed, but eligibility for pro bono program inclusion cannot be guaranteed without pre-approval.
Pre-approved pro bono opportunities on the Pro Bono at CUA Law TWEN page. Students are also encouraged to seek out their own pro bono projects but must secure approval from the Pro Bono Coordinator for the work to count toward their Challenge hours.
Through the Pro Bono Challenge, CUA students pledge to complete varying levels of pro bono service during their three or four years of law school. Students can pledge at any of the following levels and will be recognized accordingly:
· One pro bono project of any duration
· 25 hours of pro bono (Pro Bono Service Honors Certificate; notation in graduation bulletin)
· 50 hours of pro bono (Outstanding Pro Bono Service Honors Certificate; graduation bulletin)
· 75+ hours of pro bono (Exceptional Pro Bono Service Honors Certificate; graduation bulletin)
Additionally, each year, the Law School recognizes exceptional student pro bono service at graduation with the Michael F. Curtin Pro Bono Award, given to the graduating student who has honored the highest ideals of the Columbus School of Law by voluntary pro bono service to others, taking into account the number of pro bono hours performed, the diversity of pro bono service, its impact on the community, continuity of pro bono service throughout one's law school career, and one's efforts to instill the ethic in fellow students, among other factors. The award is named in tribute to alumnus Michael F. Curtin, in recognition of his more than 40 years of leadership and selfless dedication to the Law School and the legal profession.
New York State Bar Pro Bono Requirement: Beginning January 1, 2015, all applicants for admission by examination to the New York State bar must perform 50 hours of law-related pro bono service prior to application filing. Note that while the definition of pro bono under the New York rule is expansive, projects for which students receive pro bono credit at CUA Law may not fall within it. For further information, visit the New York State Courts' website.
Students: To learn about current pro bono opportunities, add "Pro Bono at CUA Law" as a course on TWEN.
Employers / Legal Services Organizations: Post pro bono projects to get student assistance!
Alumni: Get student assistance with your pro bono projects and help your alma mater at the same time!

I'm taking a philosophy course in college and we need to give a presentation on a some kind of philosophic topic. It needs to be a critical analysis, so instead of talking about FSMism and detailing its obvious satirical background, I thought it'd be a good idea to pit it up against intelligent design to show how ridiculous both notions are in reality.
I'm sure there's been some good ID vs. FSM threads on this board, so I was hoping if anyone knew of any threads in particular, please link them to me so I can be well-prepared for my presentation. I'm even going to try record the event and send it over to Bobby.
Any and all help is deeply appreciated.

Sometimes I dont understand the news....
For the past week, there has been the story of the Good Morning America host Robin whatever her name is, and how she left the show last week to be with her mother who she feared was dying, and she did in fact die when she got there....
I feel for her, and of course I sympathize with her loss......but....
Why the hell has it been in the news for the past week? No offense to this poor lady, but IT'S NOT NEWS, and as a reporter, im sure she'd agree.
Oderint Dum Metuant
How can Michael Clarke Duncan die? the guy is built like a demigod. wtf?
So how does everyone feel about their draft? Did anyone stop, look at their team and say "ok I hate what I've done.." ? lol
Oderint Dum Metuant
I'm Happy with mine, only really made one mistake didn't realize Best was injured, but Foster/Cam/Cruz was a pretty solid front three for me in my opinion.

CARTHAGE The board of directors of the Christian maternity home in the village has a new leader.
Ruth E. Chapin, former community partners coordinator for Carthage Area Hospital, recently became president of the Brook Haven House board.
While working at the hospital, Mrs. Chapin met a Brook Haven House board member and was asked to serve on the advisory board. For the past two years she has been on the board, serving as secretary for the past year.
I became acquainted with the ministry of Brook Haven House and believe it to be a worthy cause, Mrs. Chapin said. I have been involved previously in various agencies in the community that dealt with health and educational issues and have worked as both a nurse and a teacher. Two of my four children are adopted, and there have been single mothers in my family, so I am aware of the struggles experienced by young women who find themselves pregnant and without the resources to manage on their own.
Mrs. Chapin sees a genuine need for a maternity house in the north country, as evidenced by the number of women who have taken advantage of its services. According to House Mom Joan Sherwood, about 30 to 35 women have passed through the homes doors since its opening in 2003.
During her year in office, Mrs. Chapin hopes to make more people aware of the facility.
I hope to expand our visibility in the community, so that any young woman who is pregnant and in need of a place to live is at least aware of the option of coming to Brook Haven House. Staying visible in the community will also help us to maintain the contributions by individuals and churches which are essential to our survival, she said.
There are plans for publication of a Brook Haven House Cookbook, which will be sold to raise money for the maternity home. The cookbooks should be ready for sale around Mothers Day.
The organization has various fundraisers throughout the year to help defray costs of running the home, most notably the annual golf tournament. The fifth annual tourney is planned for June at Cedars Golf Course in Lowville.
Besides raising money for normal operating expenses, the home needs to replace the van it uses to transport residents and their children.
The maternity home has a Facebook page, which the new president said gives those interested in our ministry a way of keeping up with our activities.
The nonprofit, nondenominational ministry began in 1993 as Hope Hotline Inc. After expanding the mission, the name was changed in 1997 to Brook Haven House Inc., a place for new beginnings, and a maternity home at 423 State St. was opened in 2003. Pregnant women 18 and older are allowed to stay at the home until their child is a year old.
To learn more about Brook Haven House, check out the Facebook page, call 493-1735 or visit its website at www.brookhavenhouse.org.

......and all of this solves the question of filling the holes at 2B, 3B, LF, SP, and RP how?
There is no panacea for this organization's ills. But we have to start somewhere. Fielder could be the first step, actually seeing a doctor...
That said the contract to Pujols just kills it for us. I'd rather spend the money on Cespedes and Darvish. At least those two will bring some unknown possibilities generating lots of excitement.

Marvelous Movember
I know @MolsonTonia will do a more formal update BUT…30 days with an itchy upper lip is a mild inconvenience compared to the challenge that many men face in beating back cancer in their lives. Mo-Bros at Molson Coors in Canada stepped up this month in a big way. This awareness was also shared by a number of Mo-Sistas at Molson Coors in Canada who joined the campaign to raise awareness and funds during the month. We were also supported by the Rickard's brand in raising public awareness for this important cause. All said and done the Molson Coors team can proudly shout out our achievement of raising over $184,000.00 to support Movember in Canada. Thanks to all of those colleagues, family, friends and business associates for taking the time to participate and or cash from your pockets to make a difference. Cheers to making a difference in men's health and to promoting active lifestyles. @MolsonFerg

Bossypantsby Tina Fey
Staff Pick
Readers sometimes lower the bar when it comes to the quality of celebrity memoirs, but, in this case, we can all breathe a sigh of relief. Tina Fey is a legitimately talented writer, and the stories from her personal life are just as zany and entertaining as Liz Lemon's. A must read for funny/aspiring-to-be-funny writers of both sexes.
"Bossypants is not so much a memoir as it is a sort of here's-what-happened-and-why-I think-this kind of book. It's honest and intimate, without any maudlin tales of childhood sorrow, no extraneous snark or hit-and-run tell-all gossip. It's just a great read from a mature thinker." Janeane Garofalo, NPR (Read the entire NPR review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
She's a comic genius, every woman's imaginary best friend, and the thinking man's sex symbol. Tina Fey didn't get this far without pulling on her bossypants.
Before there was Liz Lemon, before there was "Sarah Palin," before there was Weekend Update — there was a woman with a dream. A dream that one day she would write a book about how she got here. But she had to get there first.
On her way to becoming an award-winning superstar, Tina Fey struggled through some questionable haircuts, some after-school jobs, the rise of nachos as a cultural phenomenon, a normal childhood, a happy marriage and joyful motherhood. Her story must be told! Fey's pursuit of the perfect beauty routine may actually give you laugh lines, and her depiction of her whirlwind tour of duty as the Other Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live takes you behind the scenes of a comedy event that transfixed the nation. Now, Fey can reflect on what she's learned: You're no one until someone calls you bossy.
"Fey's caustic wit and wry delivery made it clear she wasn't another airhead comedienne willing to play dumb for laughs. If the world needed reminding that smart girls can be funny and sexy, Tina Fey proved it." Playboy
"Goddess of the geeks." Time
From her lifetime pursuit of the perfect Beauty Routine to the oversold joys of breastfeeding, from her whirlwind tour of duty as the Other Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live to her early days in the comedy trenches — Tina Fey puts her unique and endlessly funny mark on modern life, work, marriage, and motherhood.
Before Liz Lemon, before "Weekend Update," before "Sarah Palin," Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV.
She has seen both these dreams come true.
At last, Tina Fey's story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon — from the beginning of this paragraph to this final sentence.
Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've all suspected: you're no one until someone calls you bossy.
(Includes Special, Never-Before-Solicited Opinions on Breastfeeding, Princesses, Photoshop, the Electoral Process, and Italian Rum Cake!)
About the Author
Tina Fey lives in Manhattan, where she is the third funniest person in her household, after her husband and five-year-old daughter.

By Capt. Steve--
The Formula 240 SS has a LOA of 24' (7.32 m) and a trailerable beam of 8'6" (2.59 m).
Mission Statement
The Formula 240 Sun Sport was created as a result of customer feedback, mostly from Europe, for creating a small, easily transportable cruiser that can comfortably accommodate overnights. With her closed bow she can easily handle choppy waters while letting spray roll right off her foredeck.
The layout of the 240 Sun Sport lends itself well to intimate gatherings for small crowds and casual overnights.
Distinguishing Features
• 10-year Structural Warranty. We've seen five-year but 10-year certainly signifies a company that is standing behind their products.
• Five-year Formula Guard Protection. This covers all the components on the boat that normally have a 1 year protection plan. Formula Guard kicks in after the initial one year to protect you for an additional 4 years. Again, this is indicative of a company standing behind their product.
• Imron Graphics. While it's rare for a boat to not have any graphics on the topsides, they are nearly always decals. Naturally these will start to peel after several years of use, and it's not uncommon to see dirt collect at the edges. Formula's graphics are applied with Imron paint, which is a very high end paint and a difficult process to apply. All of the problems with decals are thus eliminated.
• High End Finish. It's very easy to pick a Formula out of the crowd of boats going by. They have a much higher gloss and shine to their finish that makes them stand out above the rest. This is because Formula dedicates so much time to polishing their finishes to perfection.
• Imron Hull Colors. For an additional $2,490 – $3,475 you can have your 240 Sun Sport in one of 12 different colors but the difference here is that the colors are not in the gelcoat. The topsides are sprayed with Imron paint. And once the boat comes out of the spray booth, a team descends upon it to polish it for hours on end, bringing out an incredible mirror-like finish. In fact, during my last visit to the Formula factory I saw a hull that looked absolutely flawless and I could see every detail of my face in the reflection. But as I stepped away from the hull, a woman smeared another layer of compound on it and started back in with the electric buffer. It just seems to go on and on.
Features Walkthrough
Stern Features
The stern of the 240 Sun Sport presents what has become a very popular feature with Formula boats… the aft facing rumble seat. It makes a great place to lounge out while at anchor, or drifting along, and easily converts into a sun pad in seconds. There is convenient trunk storage to the port hand side which makes an excellent location for storing lines and fenders.
I would definitely opt for the teak grain vinyl decking for the swim platform ($2,480). It really adds to the first impression that the 240 Sun Sport will make on your guests as they come aboard. Formulas are generally very high end boats and are a little pricier than most but you get a lot for what you pay for. Owners rarely squabble over the cost of the additional options as they tend to make what is already a premium boat even better.
The transom really looks good with the optional teak grain vinyl decking. Notice the four courtesy lights in the corners. The cleat to the right is Formula logoed and it is one of six throughout the boat.
The rear seat and aft facing rumble seat both convert to a sun pad in seconds. This has become a very popular feature on Formula boats.
The LED courtesy lights are standard but a handheld remote control is optional ($450). The optional teak decking is $2,480, and the transom shower is $820. Transom stereo remote is standard.
There are some transom options to consider. If you tend to use your 240 Sun Sport at night, you'll really come to appreciate the transom LED lights that shine onto the swim platform. If you are regularly boarding your 240 Sun Sport at night then you may want to consider the handheld remote control for those LED lights ($450). If you are in a family way and find yourself frequently bringing kids onboard, then the optional transom gate will be a must ($265). And finally, if everyone is swimming in salt water then the transom shower plumbed to the 10 gallon (37.9 L) demand water system should be considered. Now, let's step inside.
The concealed three-step reboarding ladder is off to the side which keeps you clear of the sharp edges of the outdrive and in clear sight of the helm.
The Cockpit Layout. As you enter the cockpit of the 240 Sun Sport there is L-shaped seating to port and a pair of bucket seats forward. Naturally the bucket seats will swivel around to face the crowd which transforms the area into an intimate conversational area.
The cockpit is formed from a single molded liner so there are no edges or opposing surfaces to rub against one another while underway. The cockpit seating is all weather resistant, coated with PreFixx stain inhibitor, and built around StarLite XL synthetic marine panels and DriFast foam. More importantly, the upholstery is all French stitched with Tenera element resistant thread which will not deteriorate under the constant onslaught of the sun.
The cockpit of the Formula 240 Sun Sport lends itself very well to intimate gatherings as the forward bucket seats will swivel around to face the crowd.
Cockpit Options. While the cockpit is nicely equipped, Formula always allows for upgrading so a customer can dial in the boat to his/her specific needs. Among the items to consider is the extra battery with selector switch ($585). Spending all day on the water listening to the tunes, and then running into the night with the cockpit lights on can take its toll on any battery. Being able to switch to a fresh power supply to start the engines is peace of mind well worth the up-charge.
As it's unlikely that you'll be climbing from the beach onto the swim platform, and therefore tracking sand into the boat, I would opt for the cockpit carpet ($650) as it feels softer on bare feet and has a classy wood trim pattern to it.
A must have cockpit feature would have to be the molded wet bar with stainless steel sink, Corian countertop, concealed trash container, and stainless safety rail. Aside from looking great, it is very functional and the sink is plumbed to the same 10 gallon (37.9 L) water supply as the optional transom shower ($820).
If You're Into Watersports There are Two Items to Consider. First would be the 12V inflator ($225) which will allow you to bring tubes aboard without having them take up the ridiculous amount of space that they do.
Arch Support. The second item in the watersports options category would be the sport arch. The basic arch comes with an anodized finish, two rotating board racks and LED anchor light with swivel head ($5,300). Upgrading to the same arch with a stainless steel finish will add another $455. And adding two halogen tower lights, two quick release speakers and a 3-lens mirror will run you $7,240. A Bimini top for the tower is also available ($1,040).
Taking a Look at the Helm. The helm of the 240 Sun Sport is a little unusual, for what we typically see nowadays, in that the analog gauges are clustered around the center of the panel. As there is an option for a Garmin 431 chartplotter ($1,120) it appears that there will have to be some rearranging if you select this option. A digital depth sounder is standard as is the very attractive burlwood panels.
Livorsi gauges with chrome bezels look great against the Burl wood panels of the helm.
Moving into the cabin. The entryway to the cabin is slightly offset from the centerline and a sliding door retracts under the steps to the windshield walkthrough. The custom patterned carpet is standard and a U-shaped forward double berth has filler cushions to add to the sleep-ability. The concealed portable head is in the center of the V-seating and you can opt to add a dockside pump out ($360), or upgrade to a porcelain head with dockside pump out ($1,460) or a porcelain head with macerator, Y-valve, and dockside pump out ($2,600).
Facing forward shows the sleeping room. Notice the single Bomar hatch and speakers with stainless grills.
With one of the filler cushions removed you have sitting room. Underneath the center cushion is the concealed head.
Just inside the entryway, and to port is a stylish armrest with drink holders and stereo.
Engine Choices and Pricing
Base price for the Formula 240 Sun Sport is $93,270 when equipped with a 260-hp 5.0L MPI MerCruiser engine with a B3 sterndrive. Options will take you up to the 430-hp MerCruiser 8.2L V8 and will bring the base price, before any other options, to $114,580.
However, as I said in the beginning, the Sun Sport line is more about comfort than speed. Opting all the way up to the highest engine may not be the best use of your funds. Formula boats have a good reputation for performing well and should do fine with either the base engine or even some of the midrange choices around 300 hp. In that instance you will be between $95,000 and $96,000.
The Formula 240 Sun Sport serves as an outstanding pocket cruiser with the added ability to be trailered to remote locations, which will greatly expand your cruising range. What could be better than heading out to a remote lake for the weekend and bringing your boat, and accommodations with you? The only missing ingredient is the food, and you're on your own for that.
Certainly Formula boats have a reputation for being a little upscale and therefore pricey, but that means they're not for everyone. If everyone made plain-vanilla boats what a boring world it would be. I've never heard of a Formula customer that was unhappy with his/her purchase. Much to the contrary, the purchase of the Formula also includes bragging rights and the pride of ownership that makes it all worthwhile.

Motley Crue, born circa 1981, is by far one of the most significant bands of the 1980s metal hair band era. Known as much for their hard partying ways as their hard sound, Mötley Crüe brought glam and guitars to a whole new level. A history littered with breakups, members departing, serious turmoil and reunifications are coupled with explosive live concert performances. There is nothing like Motley Crue tickets to secure an awesome, heavy metal packed occasion.
Mötley Crüe members Nikki Sixx, Mick Mars, Vince Neil and Tommy Lee joined forces in Los Angeles during early 1981, and pushed their first album "Too Fast for Love" out the door later that year. The band's name is derived from the mind of guitarist Mars, who kept a phrase in the back of his mind that had been uttered years earlier about a band that he previously played with. Name in hand and album hitting the airwaves, Motley Crue took to the road. By the mid-1980s many incidents, including airport arrests and destruction of hotel rooms, had become the band's best form of PR. Continued success saw the band release smash hit albums including "Shout at the Devil," "Theatre of Pain," "Girls, Girls, Girls," "Dr. Feelgood" and "Mötley Crüe," as well as a handful of other titles. The Crue has collaborated with Buckcherry and shared a bill with Aerosmith, Megadeth, Poison and the New York Dolls. Each member of Motley Crue lives in infamy the world over, as well as the band being infamous as a unit.
Witness the breadth and energy that is a live Motley Crue concert and take away a piece of musical history. A great performance anytime, the reviews from concertgoers shout "best live concert ever," "they are still the best" and declare that Mötley Crüe is a great live concert experience! Grab your opportunity to experience the legend yourself when you buy your Motley Crue concert tickets today!

Concerns about young people have made the news this week. There are fears of "sexualisation" and "radicalisation". Both words imply that young people cannot make choices themselves, but only passively accept what is imposed on them. And they distract attention from the policies of a government which is set to wreck the opportunities of countless young people.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- A Buffalo teenager faces multiple charges, including a violation under the New York SAFE Act, after police say he was in possession of an illegal weapon.
Officers arrested 18-year-old Darquane McDuffie of Buffalo early Sunday morning after he allegedly jumped out of the back of a vehicle that was being stopped by police near the intersection of Stanislaus and Sweet on Buffalo's East Side.
Investigators say he ran off, and when police chased after him, he tossed his loaded pistol. Officers say they recovered it in the driveway of a home on Stanislaus Street.
The weapon was carrying 12 rounds, according to officers, which is a violation of the SAFE Act, which restricts the number of rounds in a magazine to 7.
McDuffie was charged with unlawful possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device.
He also faced the more serious felony charge of criminal possession of a weapon. Police say they also found marijuana on him, and he was also charged with obstruction.
According to the City Court, McDuffie was arraigned Monday morning on the multiple charges. He was remanded on a $50,000 cash or property bail.
He will be back in court April 5 at 9:30 a.m.

Kale Cotner, a senior at Lighthouse High School, won first place in the high school division of a diesel mechanics skills competition held at USU/CEU. He also placed second in the overall competition. His college instructor is Dean Collard.
This competition was actually a preliminary contest that will allow Kale and four other participants to attend a state diesel mechanics competition that will be held in Salt Lake City on March 24 and 25. Carbon High School student Coltin Fryer also qualified to attend as well as CEU students Colten Miller (First Place), Joshua Call, and Royce Campbell.
Kale explained the competition process. "We were required to go through a series of stations where we had to explain or demonstrate our understanding of diesel engines. For example, there was an air board and we had to discuss brakes and valves and how that worked."
Instructor Collard describes Kale as "a hard worker who's fun to work with."
Kale thinks this whole process comes naturally to him. "My brother actually took this course first, and he really enjoyed it. Trucks are in our family. My dad owns diesel semis and hauls chemical in the winter and freight in the summer. So, it kind of comes naturally."
This program at USU/CEU has been successful for students. Instructor Dean Collard explained, "We can boast a 99 percent placement rate in this program. There is much demand in the workplace for these kinds of skills."
Cotner credits the Lighthouse faculty and staff for a good educational experience. "Everyone here is very nice and committed to students." With just four more college classes, Kale can earn an Associate of Applied Science degree from USU/CEU.

Not Quite Hollywood
In 1971, with the introduction of the R-certificate, Australia's censorship regime went from repressive to progressive virtually overnight. This cultural explosion gave birth to art house classics, such as "Picnic at Hanging Rock" and "My Brilliant Career," but also spawned a group of demon-children: maverick filmmakers who braved assault from all quarters to bring films like "Alvin Purple, "The Man From Hong Kong," Patrick," "Turkey Shoot," and "Mad Max" to the big screen. As explicit, violent and energetic as their northern cousins, Aussie genre movies presented a unique take on established conventions. In England, Italy and the grind houses and drive-ins of America, audiences applauded Australian homegrown marauding "rev heads" with brutish cars, spunky well-stacked heroines and stunts -- unparalleled in their quality and extreme danger.

Submission UK government to Use PayPal for Identity Assurance ->
judgecorp writes: "A UK government contract has confirmed earlier reports that British citizens will have the option to use PayPal to accredit themselves for public services such as the new Universal Credit benefit system. Using PayPal might be a public relations goof, as PayPal's parent eBay is notoriously clever at avoiding UK taxes, recently paying only £1.2 million on profit of £789 million (around 0.15 percent)."

Affordable, clean sounding channel strip with preamp, compressor, and semi-parametric EQ.
The ART Pro Channel II uses second-generation discrete Class-A microphone preamp to provide clean, quiet gain while maintaining incredible transparency. A powerful dynamics processor subtly controls transients and noise of the most demanding sources.
The ART Pro Channel II's semi-parametric EQ offers wide tune-ability and can be patched before or after the dynamics processor. Separate rear-mounted insert points allow patching in external signal processing gear immediately after the Mic preamp and before the EQ and dynamics processor. Both analog and LED meters provide a detailed indication of audio levels.

Comments about ART ProChannel II Channel Strip:
This preamp is easy to use and easy to figure out, but the analog VU meter on mine wasn't calibrated. There's a trim adjustment accessible on the front panel to calibrate it which is nice as the tubes performance will drift as they age, but it should have been calibrated to at least ballpark accuracy at the factory. The LED meter works fine though, so this is really just picking nits and has no effect on using the preamp. I don't have any really quiet places I can test this for noise performance, but for my home studio use noise hasn't been an issue.
EQ works the way it should.
The compressor sounds pretty good and it's easy to tell how much it's reducing the signal and with the bypass switch A/B testing the sound is easy. I could wish for a lower ratio, but 2:1 is fine and it's easy to make it sound transparent.
The variable input impedance is a cool feature, as is the high/low plate voltage for the preamp tube. They make more difference than I thought in the way my mic sounds, so there's a lot of "tuning" available with those controls.

One of the nation's fastest-growing, for-profit colleges, Kaplan University, marked the opening of its new campus in Augusta today at an event featuring Gov. Paul LePage and businesses leaders. The school offers a mix of online and flexibly-scheduled, on-campus courses, leading to career-focused degrees in areas like Medical Assisting, Paralegal Studies, Business Administration and Accounting. In recent years, state investigations, lawsuits and a congressional probe have targeted Kaplan's recruiting and marketing policies and the amount of debt its students accrue. But, as Jay Field reports, supporters are convinced the university is taking steps to move past its problems and poised to play a key role in providing skilled employees to Maine's workforce over the next decade.
A few years ago, Taya Harmon's parents moved from South Charleston, West Virginia, to Maine. Harmon followed them north after graduating high school in 2009, and got a job.
"I actually work at a gas station," she says. "I am a cashier at the Circle K down here on - what is it? - Civic Center Drive. I've been doing that for a year and its getting pretty old."
Harmon decided to go to school to become a medical assistant. It's an in-demand position in one of Maine's fastest-growing fields, health care. But she couldn't afford to enroll in college full-time and desperately needed to keep bringing in that two hundred bucks a week down at the Circle K.
"Kaplan was really good about setting the schedules for me so I could do both and not lose any hours, pay my bills on time. Only here until 2:45, twice a week, and I'm still getting a degree," she says.
"Here" is not some leafy, red-brick campus, like the University of Maine at Augusta nearby. For Harmon, and increasing numbers of students in Maine and across the country, going to college means going to the mall, literally. Dr. Wade Dyke is Kaplan University's president.
"We have 17 sites around the country and this one represents our best," says Dyke, who helped christen the school's new, nearly 20,000-square-foot campus on the site of a former Staples store on Marketplace Drive - across from Barnes and Noble, the Regal Augusta 10 Cinema and Dick's Sporting Goods.
Dyke says Taya Harmon and the 200 other students already enrolled in classes here represent just a tiny fraction of the workers the state will need to produce in the coming years. "In the next 10 years, Maine will need 40,000 trained graduatues to replace retirees," he says. "The opportunities are there, if the training is there. It's a big challenge for all of us. It's a big challenge for Maine."
The Augusta students - and the thousand or so enrolled at Kaplan's locations in Lewiston and South Portland - are going after associates' and bachelors' degrees in business administration, accounting, criminal justice, paralegal studies, medical assisting and early childhood development. Since he took office, Gov. Paul LePage has made expanding career and technical education in Maine a top priority.
"It's Kaplan University, and schools like Kaplan, who are giving us options, who are working with the workforce, who are working with businesses in Maine, and can turn on a dime," he says. "They can meet the needs much, much quicker than established, long-term universities."
LePage has been critical of what he sees as an overemphasis on four-year college degrees in Maine, at the expense of post-secorndary education that's more targeted and career focused.
Business leaders joined the governor in Augusta to sing Kaplan's praises. Noticably absent, were any big-name Democrats. Kevin Kinser, who studies for-profit colleges, says that's not a surprise. Kinser is an associate professor in the Department of Educational Administration and Policy Studies at the State University of New York at Albany.
"Democrats are much more likely to think the industry needs broad regulation in order to control some of the worst behavior that's been occurring, whereas Republicans are much more interested in talking about their role in providing access to students, their role in developing students for the workforce, for the labor market," Kinser says.
Over the summer, the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Labor, Education and Pensions released the results of a two-year investigation of the for-profit, higher education sector. The report looked at 30 companies, including Kaplan, and found, among other things, that they engaged in predatory recruiting practices and charged high tuition, which was often paid for by federally-backed student loans.
Kinser says it's not entirely clear yet what students are getting for all the debt they're accruing to get these degrees.
"We don't have very good data on the actual outcomes of the education in terms of what jobs students are getting, whether the education is increasing their salary, sufficient to justify the costs that they're paying," he says. "What we do know is that students tend to default on their loans more who attend for-profit institutions. And we know that they end up taking out more in loans for for-profit institutions."
Earlier this year, Kaplan produced its own report, showing its graduates are reporting more promotions and raises upon completion of their studies. But Kinser and other academics say there needs to be a much broader base of research on whether the education at for-profit colleges is worth the financial risks they're incuring to get their degrees.

Video: 27th District Poll
Tuesday night is going to be an interesting night in the new 27th congressional district. It appears the race between incumbent Kathy Hochul and challenger Chris Collins will be going right down to the wire, and possibly beyond.
See Complete Poll Result Breakdown
The latest WGRZ/Buffalo News poll conducted by Siena College shows the two candidates remain in a statistical dead heat. Collins has a one-point lead over Hochul, 48-47, but with a margin of error of +/- 3.9%, the race is too close to call.
The race has been this way in all three polls conducted by Siena College for WGRZ and the Buffalo News. The three polls were conducted in mid-August, the first week of October, and this past week. In the first, Collins was ahead 47-45, with 8% saying they were undecided or note voting; in the second, both candidates had 47% of the vote, and 6% were undecided/not voting. For this third poll, only 5% are still undecided/not voting.
Siena pollster Steve Greenberg says, "the candidates have divided the voters of the 27th Congressional District virtually down the middle. Half of them are strong Collins supporters, half of them are strong Hochul supporters and there's just very few left who haven't made a decision."
A couple of things are working in Chris Collins' favor as we hit the home stretch. First, remember the district has 7% more registered republicans. Second, the district, in all three of these polls, chooses Mitt Romney over Barack Obama for president. The biggest for Collins, though, may be in this third poll; 50% of the respondents had a favorable impression of him. That's the first time in the three polls he cracked 50%. Conversely, Hochul has gone from a 52% favorable rating in the August poll, to a 47% favorable rating in the latest poll.
The candidates were both upbeat in their response to the poll.
"We feel the energy and the momentum," Collins said, "we have not crested yet. So we're very optimistic Tuesday night is gonna be a good night for us."
Hochul talked about the makeup of the district, "I think in the most Republican district in the state of New York, to still be basically in a tie going in to the election is really significant."
The candidates have flip-flopped where they are getting most support. In the October poll, Hochul led in the Erie County portion of the district 51-45%; Collins led in the other counties that make up the district 48-44%. Compare that to this week's poll; Collins now leads in Erie County 52-46%, while Hochul leads in the other counties 48-45%.
Both sides spent Saturday campaigning in Genesee and Livingston Counties.
Most analysts have agreed the key to a Hochul victory is her ability to get republican voters in the district to cross over and vote for her; remember, there are 7% more republicans in the district. In the first two polls, 21% of republicans in the district said they would vote for Hochul; in this latest poll, that number is 19%. That's within the poll's margin of error, but not trending in the direction Hochul would want.
Still, Hochul says she remains and independent voice, "People are gonna vote for who they want at the top of the ticket. Many people are telling me they'll vote for Romney for President and they're voting for me for Congress. And that's because I've already demonstrated my willingness to break from the party on issues that are important to the district."
And what about those ads that have permeated the airwaves? Siena College asked in the second and third polls which candidate has been wagering the more negative campaign. In the October poll, 30% said Hochul, 34% said Collins, 11% said both, and 3% said neither. In this last poll, 39% said Hochul, 34% said Collins, 17% said both, and 1% said neither.
Collins addressed that on Saturday, "I do believe it's backfired on her in the Buffalo area where I'm very well known. The flip side is I'm not well known in Rochester so they're seeing these negative ads. They may have hurt us a little bit out there, they're false. But sometimes people get away with things."
