The engineer of the seventh-best turnaround in the country in 2012-13, Beth O'Boyle enters her third season as the head women's basketball coach at Stony Brook University.
Named head coach by Stony Brook Director of Athletics Jim Fiore on April 7, 2011, O'Boyle is the eighth coach in program history and the fourth in the Division I era.
O'Boyle mentored the Seawolves to their best season in recent history in 2012-13. Picked to finish last in the preseason America East Coaches' Poll, SBU proved to be a competitor, producing a 10-win improvement from the 2011-12 campaign and earning a No. 4 seed in the conference tournament. The 14 victories Stony Brook racked up were the most for the program since 2006-07, while the seed was the team's highest since 2009-10.
Defense was a hallmark of the 2012-13 squad as the Seawolves finished 44th nationally in scoring defense and third in the conference in steals. SBU was also a force to be reckoned with on the boards, holding the second-best rebounding margin in the league.
O'Boyle guided Sabre Proctor to 2012-13 all-conference honors, while Brittany Snow was named All-Rookie, a sign of the young talent she is recruiting and developing.
She is committed to remaining involved in the Long Island community, forming a partnership with the Boys & Girls Club, visiting the hospital with members of the team and hosting youth clinics.
O'Boyle has 14 years of collegiate coaching experience and came to Stony Brook following four years at Canisius College, where she served as the associate head women's basketball coach for the final two seasons. O'Boyle helped Canisius to its best season in school history in 2008-09 as the Golden Griffins won 24 games, advanced to the MAAC Championship game and qualified for the WNIT for the first time in program history. The 24 wins were the most in the program's Division I history and the most by a Canisius women's basketball team in 25 years.
Hired as an assistant coach at Canisius in 2007, O'Boyle was elevated to associate head coach in November 2009. Responsible for all recruiting activities, as well the development of the Golden Griffin guards, O'Boyle coached seven All-Conference players at Canisius, including 2009 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Defensive Player of the Year Brittane Russell, 2009 MAAC Sixth Player of the Year Ellie Radke and 2011 MAAC Rookie of the Year Jamie Ruttle.
O'Boyle has also shown a commitment to developing the total student-athlete. Dani Klupenger earned America East All-Academic status in 2012-13 for her work on the court and in the classroom. At Canisius, she monitored the academic progress of a Golden Griffins team that was recognized in the NCAA Top 25 for team grade point average. In total, Canisius has had 18 selections to the MAAC All-Academic team since O'Boyle's arrival, including Marie Warner, who was also named a ESPN the Magazine third-team Academic All-American in 2009.
O'Boyle came to Canisius after serving as the head coach at Montclair State University in Montclair, N.J., for three seasons. O'Boyle led the Red Hawks to the ECAC Division III Metro Women's Basketball Championship in 2006-07 and was named the New Jersey Athletic Conference Co-Coach of the Year following the 2005-06 season. She compiled a 51-33 record in her three seasons there, and the Red Hawks also produced their first All-American in 15 seasons under O'Boyle's guidance.
Prior to taking over at Montclair State, O'Boyle spent four seasons as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at the University of Rochester. During her first two seasons, Rochester won back-to-back ECAC Upstate New York championships and in her last two seasons, the team made consecutive appearances in the NCAA Division III Final Four. In 2004, the team was ranked No. 1 in the nation for a three-week period according to the USA Today/ESPN/WBCADivision III poll and the D3hoops.com poll.
A 1998 graduate of Gettysburg College, O'Boyle earned four letters with the basketball and soccer programs at Gettysburg and served as a two-time captain in each sport. O'Boyle earned her master's degree from the University of Rochester's Warner School of Education in 2001. O'Boyle is a native of Rockville, Md., and attended the Academy of the Holy Cross High School in Kensington, Md.

What They are Saying about Beth O'Boyle ...
"I was lucky to have played for Coach O'Boyle. She is a very dedicated and passionate coach. She brings a level of intensity and dedication to practice, and her preparation is second to none.

About the Book
"[Clark] deftly combines the clue-searching and puzzle-solving fun of mysteries with the action-packed, emotion-driven narrative thrust of thrillers." <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
—Pittsburgh Tribune Review
"One of Clark's—and the genre's—best."
—Associated Press
A very suspicious death and a sprawling mansion with secrets and puzzles built into the very architecture are among the elements that make Dying for Mercy an unputdownable mystery. The third riveting thriller from New York Times bestselling Mary Jane Clark to feature Eliza Blake and her KEY News television colleagues, Dying for Mercy combines the gripping suspense of Faye Kellerman with the kind of brilliant twists, turns, and surprises that would make Agatha Christie proud. Mary Jane Clark is a member of the same writing family as fellow suspense superstars Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark, and this superior puzzler puts her at the very top of the family tree.
The recently renovated Pentimento, located in New York's exclusive moneyed enclave of Tuxedo Park, is no ordinary estate. Strange secrets have been ingeniously built into its fountains, frescoes, statues, and architecture—clues to a bizarre mystery that is first brought to light when the owner commits suicide during a lavish gala.
Eliza Blake, co-anchor of the popular morning television show KEY to America, is present when the party is cut short by the host's sudden, macabre death—and she's the first to discover that Pentimento is a giant "puzzle house." But each piece is leading Eliza and her KEY News colleagues—producer Annabelle Murphy, cameraman B. J. D'Elia, and psychiatrist Margo Gonzalez—deeper into darkness, toward a killer who believes that some puzzles must never be solved. And it soon becomes shockingly clear that no amount of wealth or privilege can keep the residents of Tuxedo Park safe . . . and alive.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"Clark has perfected the suspense novel . . . in classic Christie fashion." — Booklist
Clark's latest rivals Christie's best. Her short, to-the-point chapters, lucid prose, numerous suspects and faceless murderer's creepy monologues keep the suspense at its chilliest level — and move the story forward at a brisk clip. One of Clark's — and the genre's — best. — Associated Press
"smooth . . . Those curious about Tuxedo Park will appreciate the well-researched portrait of the real-life exclusive community." — Publishers Weekly
As always, Clark gives the reader a strong trail of red herrings. This is another satisfying look at the behind-the-scenes world of television network news tied around an intriguing puzzle — Booklist

AVON, Colorado - Deadlines have come and gone as Avon town officials and developers of the Village at Avon have tried - so far in vain - to settle years of legal disputes. But what happens if the lawsuits aren't settled?
The Avon Town Council and developer's representatives will take another crack Oct. 9 at passing on first reading an ordinance essential to finish the settlement, first announced in October of last year. A vote on that ordinance - which alters the land-use approvals first granted in 1998 - was twice delayed last month. If the parties can't settle the case, they go back to court.
It's impossible to predict what will happen if the town and the developers end up in court again - a six-week trial is currently set to start in early January of next year - but there are some certainties.
One is that the Village at Avon's finances - which drove the parties to court in the first place - will become more constrained and complicated.
If the parties don't settle, much of the development's future financial tune will be called by BNP Paribas. The French bank currently holds a letter of credit that the developers are using to pay bondholders who originally financed the streets and other public improvements at the subdivision.
The bank informs a trustee of its intent to allow bond payments from the letter of credit. In the last year the bank has three times notified the trustee that bond payments can be made. But that may come to an end after Nov. 16.
According to an Oct. 5 letter from BNP attorney Brandee Caswell to town officials and developer's representatives, Caswell wrote that the bank will provide one more notification.
But, the letter states, according to Avon Town Attorney Eric Heil, the "town must take final action ... by Nov. 16, 2012 under its Municipal Code and that time period cannot be extended ... "
If the parties can't reach agreement by then, Caswell wrote, BNP "... will not provide any of the financial or other economic concessions set forth in the (settlement term sheet)."
Those concessions include arrangements to allow construction of a 2 million gallon water tank, an essential element required before anything else can be built on the nearly 1,800-acre property. If the tank isn't built, Walmart, Home Depot and the Traer Creek Plaza commercial building will be the only structures on the land - and producing any kind of tax revenue - for the future.
And, if the bank declines to make any more payments to bond holders, the bonds will go into default, which will require BNP to buy the bonds from the current owners. If that happens, Caswell said virtually every penny of all the revenue from the project will go toward paying off the bonds.

Bill Madore, Hannibal fire chief, announced Thursday afternoon that the cause of the Nov. 9 fire on Grand Avenue is being listed as "undetermined."
The late morning blaze has been under investigation by the Police Department since last week. Immediately after the fire, an investigator with the State Fire Marshal's office was called in to help determine the fire's place of origin and its cause.
Madore told the Courier-Post Wednesday that it had been determined that the fire started in the basement of the residence.
Two people were at home at the time of the fire. Neither was reportedly injured. Three people were displaced as a result of the blaze, which destroyed the structure.

Shattered Family, hurting kids, and Forgiveness sought
Please pray for my family as I have three children... My wife decided after many deaths in her family that she also "NO" longer wanted to be married... we separated about 10 months ago, and I'm not going to lie, this has been one of my "MOST" difficult years ever. I pray that God will touch my wife in the way that "ONLY" HE can and that she will leave her child like ways of selfishness... Our kids are soon 17, 15, and 13, and all of them have been struggling w/ many things... Anger, bitterness, rage, drugs etc, all have had various issues, I'm standing watching and trusting that God will do something soon, I know HIS timing isn't ours, but it has become very hard for me to work w/ "ALL" of my concern for every aspect of this caos that has now become my "NEW" normal... Divorce and separation really is worse than a death. As I mentioned above, we've experienced our fair share of that also w/in our family w/ 9 family members passing away w/in the last 4 years. We've had enough pain... Please pray for each of our three kids, that God would somehow restore their lives to something of HIM, actually I would ask that of each and every member of the family, including me... I need to remain steadfast in my pursuit of Christ and HIS will as we strive to get through all of this, in my opinion, unecessary pain and confusion direct from the PIT. Pray that the Devil will have no more footholds and that things will BEGIN TO TURN in a more positive direction... Pray that confusion, depression will be things of the past, and that business will turn and turn quickly for me... Also additional financial pressures have now created issues w/ family home, and other misc. debts and possibly bankruptcy... I need to feel God's peace and know that HE is still working, I know that HE is, but I need to feel it, and somehow gain a "FRESH" perspective and remain focused on HIM in everything. Thanks.

Torbreck's 'The Laird' – Pursuing Perfection in One of Australia's Greatest Wines
Post by Chuck Hayward | May 10th, 2013
So what is it like to drink perfection? It's a question frequently asked by consumers and the trade. The following story is about tasting 100-point 'perfection'. And it begins many years ago…
In the summer of 2010, I heard that Torbreck, one of the Barossa Valley's leading wineries, had released a new wine from the 2005 vintage called 'The Laird'. The textured black label stood in stark contrast to the winery's classic white paper label, indicating a significant departure from Torbreck's usual range of wines. Indeed, 'The Laird' was exactly that, a wine geared for the super-premium market, occupied by legends like Penfolds 'Grange' and Henschke's 'Hill of Grace' – with a price to match. I needed to know more. (more…)

Gypsum Special Projects Coordinator Marie Sanders didn't need last week's spring weather to turn her vision toward summer.
She's already firming up plans for Gypsum's summer months.
There's a new adventure race that's likely to stick around in years to come and another series of music and movies is planned in addition to the free movie nights at Lundgren Theater on Fridays.
Then of course there's the Gypsum Daze Festival July 20-21, with unofficial celebrations beginning July 13. Last year was the town's 100th anniversary and the celebration set the bar high.
"And the bar just keeps getting higher," Sanders said.
The People's Friday will kick off the summer events on June 8 at Lundgren Theater. Every Friday from then through July 6 will feature live music followed by a movie. Most nights the action starts at 7 p.m., except on June 29, when the Porchlight Players Children's Theater gives a performance at 6:30 p.m.
The schedule is:
• June 8- Instant Cash followed by "Ink Heart"
• June 15 - Already Gone followed by "Flight of the Navigator"
• June 22 - Folk musician Jayme Stone followed by "Judy Moody and the Not So Bummer Summer"
• June 29 - America the Beautiful Celebration; Children's Theater at 6:30 p.m. followed by bluegrass musician Kort McCumber at 7:30 p.m. and the movie "Captain America" at 9 p.m.
• July 6 - Motown music from the Denver band Soul School followed by "Back to the Future"
Children's activities and crafts are available at every Friday night event. Manto's Pizza will be serving pizza and Italian eats from the Fox Den Cafe, and Impact Ministries will offer cotton candy and popcorn for a nominal fee.
New this year will be free music and movies on Saturday nights at the Gypsum Creek Golf Course June 16, July 7, and Aug. 4 and Aug. 18.
For those who like to race dirty, the Dirty Dozen Competition will be a prime opportunity.
On July 14, the first Dirty Dozen will include "mud, music and mayhem," with country musician Colin Raye wrapping up the all-day entertainment.
The Dirty Dozen competition is a 5K race for all ages and features 12 muddy, military-style obstacles, similar to those in Beaver Creek's Tough Mudder race.
"For this race, you can be a very athletic person or just a fun person," Sanders said. "There will also be mud wrestling and kid's activities."
The Dirty Dozen "mud endurance games" will be from 8 to 11:30 a.m. Entry for ages 13 and older costs $65 per person and children under 12 are $25.
Tickets for admission to the all-day entertainment cost $15 for people 13 and older. Children 12 and under are free when accompanied by an adult.
As the race runs its course, music gets started and food and craft vendors will be on site. A beer garden is planned from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and "family mud games" will entertain everyone from 2:30 to 3 p.m. at the Lundgren Theater Park.
Music-wise, the local band Already Gone plays from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Another local band, Derringer, plays from noon to 2:30 p.m. White Water Ramble, a Denver band, plays from 3 to 5 p.m. A "Gypsum's Got More" talent show is from 6 to 8:30 p.m., and then Collin Raye takes the stage.
To get more information abound vendors and sponsorships, contact Sanders at (970) 524-1740.
To register as a racer or learn more about the event, contact the Gypsum Recreation Center at (970) 777-8888 or visit the Western Eagle County Metropolitan Recreation District's website at www.wecmrd.org.
"We're anticipating between 1,500 and 2,700 people will attend throughout the day," Sanders said.
Headlining the grand finale country music concert this year on Saturday, July 21, is Thompson Square and special guest Gloriana. Tickets go on sale April 2 on the town's website, www.townofgypsum.com.
The celebration begins a week before, however:
• Friday, July 13 - a community barbecue potluck starts at 6 p.m. followed by a concert featuring the Musketeer Gripweed and the Congress band.
• Wednesday, July 18, 7 p.m. - BRAVO! Easy Breezy Concert at Town Hall
• Thursday, July 19, 6 p.m. - Praise in the Park followed by the movie "Courageous" at 8 p.m.
• Friday, July 20, 6 p.m. - Gypsum's Got Talent youth talent show; 8 p.m. County Music Legends and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
• Saturday, July 21 - events begin at 8 a.m. and conclude with the Thompson Square concert at 8 p.m.

From seemingly nowhere, in 2006 three very young musicians from Coventry emerged calling themselves The Enemy. Greeting the music scene with contempt and a two fingered salute to the trend setting elite, the band's competence to deliver stunning live performances has seen them share a stage with some of the biggest and greatest acts in the world including The Rolling Stones, The Sex Pistols, Oasis, The Manic Street Preachers, Ash, Paul Weller and the mighty Bon Jovi, spanning venues from their local Saturday sports club Folly Lane Football Club, where they performed one of their first ever gigs, to five performances at Wembley Stadium.
The Enemy have never really been in vogue, they've always been the underdog, until their debut album crashed into the the UK top 40 at Number 1 and went on to go double Platinum, becoming the soundtrack for a new disaffected generation. Fast forward to today and The Enemy have matured, humbled and ripened into something far more complete and purposeful and become a well established act.

IMO, this show isn't worth your time, but at least check out the Antelope.

PARKERSBURG - Members of the Wood County Board of Education unanimously approved the demolition contract for the Stadium Field bleachers Friday.
Board members spent about 30 minutes Friday discussing the contract with Ryan Taylor, president of Pickering Associates.
Board President Tim Yeater said the special meeting was to deal with the lone agenda item.

(Photo by Jeff Baughan)
"This is not like a regular meeting," he said.
There was no public discussion or comments.
Board members unanimously, 5-0, approved the contract to Mondo Building and Excavation for $216,900.
Mondo's bid was almost $75,000 lower than the next lowest bid.
"$75,000 is a significant amount," board member Jim Fox said. "That's a significant savings."
In addition to Mondo, officials also received demolition bids from Carl Walker Construction ($477,700); Grae-Con Construction ($344,965); Independence Excavating ($279,184) and United Construction ($344,000).
Board members asked if the bid specified prevailing wage and the use of local labor
Taylor said prevailing wage was specified. Local labor was not. Mondo is based in Marietta.
"I can't tell contractors who to use," he said. A representative of Mondo was at the meeting to answer questions. Board members asked him no questions.
Board members questioned Taylor about following up with regard to payment of prevailing wage and safety issues.
"I have no evidence either way," Taylor said. "The trades (union) brought it to my attention. There's no reason to believe they would not pay prevailing wages."
Taylor also noted the company is bonded. If something is damaged, they will fix it, he said.
Board member John Marlow said it was brought to the board's attention by the difference in the bids. Taylor said he called the three lowest bidders.
"I don't ask how they do it," he said. "We tell them what we want in the finished product. How they go about it is their business."
Taylor said engineering officials reviewed all the bids the same way.
"They have to obey the contract documents," he added. "We will be down there about every day. We are not going to let this get out of control."
Taylor said he tried to analyze policies and follow the bid outline.
"I see no reason not to hire them," he said. "You don't have to follow my recommendation."
Taylor said there will be a kickoff meeting Monday morning with the contractor and school officials. Demolition is expected to start mid-week.

Man charged in Shrimp Basket robbery
Published: Saturday, October 26, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 25, 2013 at 9:51 p.m.
Police have charged a man who they say tried to rob the Shrimp Basket restaurant last weekend.
The restaurant at 3429 McFarland Blvd. E. had closed when a man approached an employee who was taking trash out a back door at 10:30 p.m., said Sgt. Brent Blankley, a Tuscaloosa police spokesman.
The man showed a handgun and demanded money, Blankley said. No one gave him any, so he ran out the back door.
Investigators identified Timothy Cornell Lipscomb Jr., 19, as a suspect and charged him with first-degree robbery on Thursday. Blankley did not reveal the evidence that he said implicated Lipscomb.
Lipscomb remained in the Tuscaloosa County Jail on Friday with bail set at $60,000.

• Imron Graphics. How easy it would be to simply put decal stickers on the side and call it a day, but that's not how Formula does things. The polyurethane paint will not only last the lifetime of the boat, but with proper care will look like new for most of that time.
• Pressure-treated Perma Panel. Interior bulkheads and other wooden structures are made with Perma Panel, the trademarked name for a "best practices," kiln-dried marine resin and wood matrix that provides protection against fungal decay and rot and has a lifetime warranty. (See the section on "Construction" below for more details.)
• Electric Windlass with Chain Counter. Formula is one of the few builders that provides a full length of anchor chain -- 200' of chain to be exact -- plus a polished stainless steel anchor chute, and chain counter, which is invaluable when anchoring at night. All standard equipment.
The Formula 37 PC has a 18-degree deadrise which is a good compromise between speed and a comfortable ride in offshore chop.
• Bomar Hatches with Integrated OceanAir System. Bomar hatches are the highest grade in the industry and the OceanAir rollout SKYscreens and privacy shades and integral frame are the best in the business, in our opinion.
• Standard 7.3 kW Gas Generator or 7.6 kW Diesel Generator. It is unusual for a builder in this class of boats to offer a generator as standard, but Formula takes that one step further and offers a choice of either gas or diesel. Typically, an owner will match the fuel type to the main engines so fuel can be drawn from the same tank. The gas generator is a Kohler Low-CO emissions unit which is the best way to go for gas generators in our opinion. The diesel generator offered is a Westerbeke with sound shield.
• Under Seat-Lockers Fiberglass Lined. All storage compartments are fitted with their own integral fiberglass liners which are easy-to-clean.
• 18,000 BTU Reverse-Cycle A/C. Again it is unusual for a boat in this class to come standard with A/C and digital climate control. Another 16,000 BTUs is available as an option for the cockpit. Since it is reverse cycle this option turns the boat into a 4-season vessel.
• WalVac Sweeper System. Easy-to-access plates in bulkheads around the boat make keeping the interior clean a five-minute chore with no lugging of a vacuum sweeper around.
The deck plan of the Formula 37 PC shows a forward cabin enclosed with only a privacy curtain, certainly the best way to open up the space below. A solid bulkhead can be installed as an option as it was in the boat we tested. The mid-cabin has standing headroom and a privacy curtain.
• Automatic Fire Suppression System. All boats should have them, but many builders make them an option. It comes standard on the Formula 37 PC.
• Optional Imron-Painted Hull. Formula is the only boat builder I can think of in this class which offers the option of a polyurethane-painted hull panel. The way Formula sands and buffs and sands and buffs, the paint job is probably the best in the industry and gives the boat a shiny appearance that is recognizable half a mile away. See our video on the process…
• 5-Year Formula Guard Program. Formula has a 5-year comprehensive service contract program that covers most mechanical items on the boat, and only a handfull of builders offer anything like it. For complete details…
• Exclusive Designer John Adams. Designer John Adams has been creating boats most of his life and for the last 30 years he has worked exclusively for Formula. His distinctive styling has set the trend for boats in this class for years. His meticulous attention to detail and his early adoption of new technologies has kept Formula on the cutting edge of boats in the sporty cruising class.
The Formula 37 PC has a length overall of 38'5" (11.71 m), a beam of 12' (3.7 m) and a draft of 34" (.86 m). With an empty weight of 17,500 lbs. (7,938 kg), 70 gallons of fuel and two people on board we had a test weight of 18,340 lbs (8319 kg) (265 L).
Our test boat was powered by a pair of MerCruiser 430-hp 8.2 L MAG High Output ECT DTS engines with Bravo III drives. This is a step up from the standard engines which are the 380-hp 8.2 L MAG versions. The more powerful engines are only $16,450 more, so I would go with them.
Top speed was at 4800 rpm and 46.7 mph. At that speed fuel burn was 67.5 gph giving us a range of 147 miles. Best cruise came in at 3500 rpm and 32.2 mph. That reduced the fuel burn to 33.25 gph which the 37 PC could keep up for 6 hours and 24 minutes and 206 statute miles while still maintaining a 10% reserve.
We had a time to plane of 4.8 seconds, accelerated through 20 mph in 6.6 seconds, 30 in 11.6 seconds, and continued accelerating through 40 mph in 18.8 seconds
Upon accelerating the bow of the 37 PC comes up 12-degrees and because the bow was so far forward I did lose sight of the horizon for a short time. She leans approximately 10-degrees into a turn which I found quite comfortable. She has a sporty feel and good responsiveness to the helm with 2-1/2 turns from lock-to-lock on the steering, but she doesn't turn so quickly that the turns become uncomfortable.
When taking power off she settles back into the water stern first, which again brings the bow up just above the level of the horizon. Overall the 37 PC provided a solid ride and outstanding handling characteristics that I've come to expect from Formula… and have yet to be disappointed. I think a big part of the reason for this consistency of handling characteristics with all Formula boats I have tested over the years is because they have all been designed by the same person -- John Adams. He has found the groove and stays in it.
The 37 PC exhibits a 12-degree lean into the turns which gives a sporty feel to her handling characteristics and is comfortable.
When at idle speed and sitting on the seat I was looking through the windshield. At cruise speed the five-degree bow high attitude again gave me good visibility when sitting, and when standing I could easily see over the windshield frame. At either idle or cruising speed sitting on the bolster did not work for me as in both cases my eye level was right at the windshield frame. This situation was fine with me as I'd rather be sitting on the seat or standing in any case.
Standing headroom was more than adequate, even for a skipper well over 6' tall. Standing, of course, the helmsperson will be looking over the windshield, and in the rain through the isinglass which comes with the standard Bimini top or with the optional hardtop such as on the boat I tested. Windshield wipers are standard.
While the hardtop will hamper visibility in a port turn, a view of the horizon is still available through the skylight. The polished stainless steel frame is standard.
Because the 37 PC has a hardtop, operators are naturally going to have an obstruction when making any turns to port. But an interesting feature is how the overhead hatch also serves to provide visibility of the horizon through the hardtop. Her 12-degree roll into the turn brings the hatch down to the horizon line.
There's plenty of headroom under the hardtop for standing behind the helm.
Axius Joystick
One of the most impressive features with the 37 PC is her close-quarters capabilities, particularly with the optional Axius Joystick ($17,660). There couldn't have been a better place to test the functionality of the joystick system than where she was docked. Pulling in and out left only inches to spare at the bow and stern and literally no room for error. However, I was able to maneuver her into position with surgical precision, and without coming against any of the pilings and certainly without touching any of the boats around me. Let there be no doubt, my years of experience have nothing to do with this precision. All the credit goes to the boat/joystick combination.
Tight quarters around the dock are not a problem for the 37 PC when equipped with the optional Axius Joystick ($17,660). A bow thruster is a $9,520 option.
The joystick is conveniently located just ahead of the engine and trim tab controls.
The deck-to-hull joint is chemically bonded and thru-bolted. The chemical bonding joins both hull and deck as a single unit with no flexing or creaking under load and is as strong as it would be as a single piece of fiberglass. Stringers are preformed and are chemically bonded to the hull in the same way.
Perma Panels. As mentioned above, the bulkheads and wood sub-structures are made of Perma Panel, which is a superior Douglas fir marine-grade plywood product that has a minimum of 30% resin content instead of the 19% that is typical in most marine-grade plywood laminates. All the panels are kiln dried to an ideal moisture content from 12% to 15%, according to the manufacturer. This wood is guaranteed against delamination or breakdown of the glue for the lifetime of the panel.
Surface Finish. The gelcoat finish on the 37 PC is second to none due to both the quality of the gelcoat resin but also because of the compounding, buffing and waxing process that goes into every boat. It must be seen in the factory (as I have) to be believed. Making a good thing even better is the option that Formula calls the Flagship Imron Graphic. This is the wide band of color painted on the hull sides. It is a $7,115 option on the 37 PC, and worth every penny to anyone who wants the best-looking cruiser in the marina.
Features Walkthrough
Starting at the stern, the full beam swim platform comes out 3' (.9 m) from the transom. Our test boat was fitted with the optional wood grain vinyl decking on the swim platform ($4,500) and that decking can also be combined with the same treatment in the cockpit ($13,280). A three-step reboarding ladder is concealed under the hatch in the center of the platform.
The swim platform has optional wood grain vinyl decking ($4,500) with the reboarding ladder located in the center of the platform.
Trunk storage has dedicated space for the cockpit table, fenders and lines. The hatch is held open by two gas assist struts and it's gasketed all the way around to keep the compartment waterproof and prevent the hatch from vibrating while underway. Connections for shore power cords, TV and phone lines are to starboard just above the city water inlet. Standard courtesy lights are located just below the trunk storage.
Trunk storage has dedicated space for the standard cockpit table, plus fenders and lines. Notice the shore power connections to starboard just over the city water inlet. Courtesy lights are located just below the trunk storage.
The cockpit entry is located to the port hand side. The cockpit deck is 9" (22.9 cm) above the swim platform and a standard hot/cold transom shower is nestled into the bulwarks. An acrylic gate keeps the walkthrough safe. It has a positive close against a full-length molded frame which prevents the gate from accidentally opening should someone fall against it. Immediately to port is a step leading up to the nonskid caprail which, in conjunction with the stainless grab rail mounted to the hardtop support, will allow guests to board the 37 PC from a fixed pier.
Formula thoughtfully accommodated a step to the nonskid caprail for boarding from a fixed pier. From a floating dock it is easy to board from the swim platform through the transom gate.
The cockpit features J-shaped seating with storage underneath all the seats. Pedestal bases will accommodate the standard cockpit table. A day hatch is located in the center of the deck for daily engine checks. For more involved maintenance a larger hatch is electrically actuated to provide full access to the engine compartment.
A refreshment center is located to the port side with a sink plumbed to the 57 gallon (216 L) water tank. A pedestal base is fitted to the solid surface counter on our test boat to accommodate the optional LCD TV ($2,185). Below was the standard dual voltage cockpit refrigerator and that can be swapped out for a cockpit icemaker ($520).
The refreshment center is standard on the 37 PC, and it is a must-have ingredient for any entertaining onboard.
A dual-pedestal mounted table top can accommodate six people for al fresco dining or cocktails. The hatch in the sole is for daily fluid checks of the engines.
The helm deck is up two 6" (15.2 cm) steps and features a lounger to port and a double wide helm seat to starboard. The lounge has storage under the center seat cushion and a rounded door is under the aft seat and it swings out. Part of the storage will be taken up if owners opt for the optional 16,000 BTU cockpit air conditioner ($7,315).
Storage under the lounger is accessed from a door under the aft seat and by raising the cushion under the center seat.
The helm seat is double wide and both seats have flip up bases that form leaning posts. A convenient perk to this setup is that having the captain seat in the lowered position, and the observer seat flipped up the captain gets a convenient armrest.
Our test boat was controlled with Mercury's DTS (Digital Throttle and Shift System) that offers a host of options.
The helm features a complete lack of clutter thanks to the multifunction screens set into the faux burl wood panel. A SmartCraft vessel view is off to the port side with the dual fuel gauges located just above. The panel is laid out to accommodate the optional Raymarine e127 12'' GPS map system ($5,568). Formula offers an option to add radar ($12,100) and a radar/autopilot combo ($21,355) to the GPS functionality. Sirius satellite weather is also available ($1,905). Above the autopilot display on our test boat were the dual trim gauges and chain counter for the standard windlass. Overhead was the optional hardtop ($20,740).
A radar arch with masthead light is standard.
I always like to see a double wide helm seat to allow for another set of eyes looking forward. This one also serves as a convenient armrest.
Here's a panel that's beautiful in its simplicity. The vessel view display (to the left) provides all operational information eliminating the need for a cluster of gauges. The 12" (30.5 cm) display is optional and can be combined with radar and chartplotter.
Our test boat was fitted with the optional hardtop ($20,740) that features two opening skylights, speakers, and grab handles for negotiating the sidedecks.
The bow can be accessed by either transiting the narrow side decks or utilizing the windshield walkthrough. The walkthrough is accessed via molded steps next to the helm. A stainless grab handle provides security and peace of mind against slipping. The opening windshield has latches that are interconnected; a feature I always like to see as I can never reach the lower one. The foredeck features three opening hatches providing light and ventilation to the cabin below. To either side of the center walkthrough are dual sun pads measuring 6'10" (2.08 m) in length with backs that lift up into chaise lounge position.
Sidedecks are a rarity nowadays with builders choosing to eliminate them in order to squeeze a bit more room in the cockpit deck.
Rail height goes from 19" (48.2 cm) at the windshield to 27" (68.6 cm) at the working end of the bow. Fully forward a flush-mounted hatch opens to reveal the standard windlass with foot control switches and chain stopper leading the stainless steel anchor chute that runs out the stem. An access port is just to starboard of the windlass itself for accessing the rode under the deck in order to manage tangles. I very much appreciate that the latch on this hatch latches simply by closing the hatch as opposed to having to close and then turn the latch. Time and again I have to stop a test in order to go up and manually latch a bow hatch because someone didn't turn a latch. This problem is never an issue on Formula boats.
Sun worshipers will love the foredeck with its twin chaise lounge sun pads.
The anchor windlass is standard and the rode runs out a shoot through the stem. The remote spotlight is also standard.
Below Decks
Formula created a nicely laid out cabin with the overhead measuring 6'4" (1.9 m). The galley is located to port, a dinette to starboard. The galley features a coffee dock behind a frosted glass door. Overhead cabinets are not quite big enough for full-size plates. A microwave is recessed into the forward end of the upper cabinetry. An opening portlight adds natural light and ventilation. A two-burner stove is recessed into the counter beneath a hinged lid that is connected to a micro-switch that shuts off the stove when in the closed position. A trash receptacle is located just outside of the single basin stainless steel sink. A dual voltage refrigerator freezer is below along with additional storage.
There is plenty of headroom and an open layout makes for an inviting atmosphere.
The galley is modest but includes everything needed for a weekend away. The cabinet to the left, with the frosted glass, has an outlet inside to serve as a coffeemaker dock.
Quality construction means taking care of small details like dovetailed joinery on the drawers.
The sofa is crescent-shaped and upholstered in a combination of Ultraleather and suede. Formula made excellent use of space with the cabinetry above while still accommodating room for two opening portlights. An optional LCD TV is mounted to the aft bulkhead ($1,610).
The mid-cabin. A separate "sitting room" with 5' (1.5 m) of headroom is located just behind the stairs and it adds another gathering area in close proximity to the main salon. Another LCD TV is mounted to the port bulkhead in this cabin. This area will also convert to a berth with a privacy curtain closing the area off.
The salon offers a crescent-shaped sofa with storage above. A mid-stateroom serves as a conversational area in close proximity to the salon.
The forward stateroom features an island berth measuring 6'2" (1.9 m) in length with headroom just before the berth also measuring 6'2" (1.9 m). Natural light comes in through the overhead hatch and two opening portlights to either side. Storage is beneath the berth as well as to both sides in cedar-lined cabinets. I would also like to see cabinets in the overhead surrounding the berth in the bow flare.
The forward stateroom features private accommodations thanks to a bulkhead and double privacy doors.
The Formula 37 PC has a base price of $536,290 when equipped with twin 380-hp MerCruiser 8.2 L MAG engines turning Bravo IIIX outdrives with DTS controls. Power options include the 430-hp MerCruiser 8.2 L High Output engines that we tested ($552,740).
Diesel engines are available from Volvo Penta. Twin D6 370-hp diesel engines ($637,250), twin D6 400-hp DPH ($654,400), and twin 330-hp IPS 450 pods with joystick ($634,920).
I think her sporty handling characteristics combined with her comfort level make her a fine step up from a sportboat, pocket cruiser or smaller express to a real cruising boat. She has, or can have, virtually everything a weekend cruiser could want. As a day boat, she is fast and she is comfortable both on deck for as many as 10 people and below decks for as many as six.
As we always note when testing Formula boats, she does not come cheap. Formula has not stinted on the quality of materials or the amount of standard equipment that most builders leave on the option list. Formula management knows how its buyers use their boats, and they know the options that are nearly always selected, so they just cut to the chase and include them in the base MSRP. Obviously when comparing apples-to-apples equipment the gap between other boats and the Formula 37 PC will narrow. However, there are some elements of the 37 PC that the others don't have, like the 5-year protection plan, the paint options and the multitude of man-hours and TLC that go into her finish, so comparisons can only go so far.
People looking for the least costly boat in class should look elsewhere. People wanting something special, a boat with real sizzle, and that will impress peers who know something about boats, then the Formula 37 PC should be on their list.

Hornets get preseason win over Bobcats
Published: Friday, October 12, 2012 at 10:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 12, 2012 at 10:01 a.m.
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. — Brian Roberts scored 16 points and Lance Thomas and Ryan Anderson both added 14 to lead the New Orleans Hornets to a 90-87 preseason victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Thursday night.
Anthony Davis, the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft by the Hornets, had 12 points, nine rebounds and one block in almost 30 minutes of action. He did not play in the final quarter.
Byron Mullens and Ben Gordon had 15 points each for Charlotte while Ramon Sessions and Gerald Henderson both added 11.
The Hornets led by 16 points after the first quarter but the Bobcats rallied and held a 10-point lead midway through the final quarter. But the Hornets used a 22-9 run over the final 8 minutes to secure the victory.
Trailing 88-87, Charlotte center Brendan Haywood had a chance to give the Bobcats the lead, but missed two free throws with 6.9 seconds left.

DANVILLE -- Bob Ladouceur can breathe a big sigh of relief.
The red carpet events and Hollywood interviews are over.
As someone who shies away from the spotlight, the former head football coach at De La Salle High School and the main character of the major motion picture, "When the Game Stands Tall," has been a little out of his element the past few months.
He's pleased with the film, which is based on the Spartans' football program and the end of their historic 151-game winning streak in 2004. But Ladouceur, portrayed by actor Jim Caviezel in the movie, is relieved to get back to what he enjoys most -- teaching and assistant coaching.
"That's the irony of the whole thing," said Terry Eidson, Ladouceur's best friend and longtime coaching partner. "The last guy on earth who wants any attention diverted to himself is Bob Ladouceur."
"Literally the last guy that would want a movie made about him," added Justin Alumbaugh, who took over as the Spartans' head coach when Ladouceur stepped down in January 2013. "It's pretty funny. That's definitely a joking point among the coaching staff."
The film will be released nationwide Friday, but a local benefit premiere Sunday at the Century Blackhawk Plaza movie theater marked the end of Ladouceur's major involvement with the film.
The whole thing -- a trip to New Orleans to see some of the filming, several promotional trips in different cities and even an interview on "Entertainment Tonight" -- has been a little strange for a guy who doesn't like to attract attention.
"It kind of runs a little bit counter to our philosophy of keeping a low profile, but it was pitched to us in a way that they thought this story should be told," Ladouceur said of the movie at a recent De La Salle practice. "We try not to call any attention to ourselves. We try not to think of ourselves as any more important than the next extracurricular activity, and all of a sudden -- boom -- a movie has been made."
Sunday's local premiere was a scaled-down version of what Ladouceur and Eidson (portrayed by Michael Chiklis) experienced in Hollywood earlier this month.
About 1,100 people, many of them wearing De La Salle attire, attended and a significant portion of the proceeds went to the Terrance Kelly '04 Endowed Memorial Fund for Financial Aid at De La Salle. Kelly was a two-way standout for the Spartans whose tragic shooting death is a storyline in "When the Game Stands Tall."
Kelly's father, Landrin, walked the mini red carpet in Blackhawk with Ladouceur and David Zelon, the film's producer, who said the true-life version of Caviezel's character has been like a celebrity to those involved with the film.
"Coach has been very inspirational; when he came to the set everyone wanted to be around him," Zelon said. "The players, the actors, all the football players we had come on. He was really a very powerful influence for us during the making of the movie."
While Ladouceur would rather spend his time helping out with the football team (he'll mostly focus on the defensive line and running backs this year), he is OK with stepping out of his comfort zone and being part of the film because he thinks it captures the true spirit of De La Salle's football program. His focus has always been about developing young men, not winning streaks or breaking records.
"If (people) are really curious about the coaching aspect of it and how we approach it, I'm comfortable with it because I think what we do is good," Ladouceur said. "It's positive, and I think we have our priorities about sports in the proper order."
Ladouceur has backed up that talk with his real-life action. In his final season as head coach at De La Salle, the Spartans went 15-0, and he had no reservations about retiring one win shy of a major milestone.
"How many guys retire with 399 wins?" said Chris Crespi, Ladouceur's longtime friend and a player on the coach's first team at De La Salle in 1979. "That says it all. It really does."

I've been using PMS for a few days now, and so far I've been very pleased with it - it performs so much better than some pay-for apps I could mention. I have a query that I hope someone could shed some light on. I've browsed the board for some days now and I can't find the answer I'm looking for, so I hope you can help!
Firstly; my spec. I'm running an 8 core Mac Pro, with 10.5.7. Version 1.10.5 of the PMS software, to a PS3 with the latest software updates. All is connected via Ethernet (not wireless). I can stream HD video no problem, I can add my iTunes Music folder and have that display on the PS3, as well as the iPhoto libraries.
What I want to do however is use the PMS Media Library function for both music and photos.
I add my 'iTunes Music' folder to the shared folder. On the PS3, I can browse the folder ok, but I would like this information to appear in the #.Media Library.# folder on the PS3. At the moment I get 'There are no tracks".
I presumed I could add the iTunes folder to the list of shared folders, then click the scan button for the software to catalogue my mp3s. So far, it has been scanning in excess of 24 hours solid, and is currently up to 'C', and is plodding along very slowly. Is this the correct way of going about it? I have tried assigning an XML, or M3U or PLS files, but I can't seem to get those to work either. I have a library of around 19000 songs, but I felt I could type the playlist faster than the scan is doing it!
Am I somehow,quickly, able to do what I'm trying to do? Have I missed something? And does the same apply for my iPhoto library?
I have tried the new Mac Beta, and my PS3 fails to see the PSM software, and the PSM locks up after clicking 'Restart HTTP Server', so the Beta isn't doing me any favours right now!
Great software - I'm very impressed so far; if I can get the playlist stuff fathomed, it's about to replace my MacMini to TV set up!
Many thanks!

To make the can light-tight, paint the inside with dull black paint or line it with black paper to prevent light reflections. If the can you use has a plastic lid, paint the lid black.
Be sure to paint it inside and out; then before using it, check to make sure no paint has chipped off. Chipped or peeling paint on the lid will allow light to enter the camera and ruin your pictures.
Pinhole cameramade from a can.
TIP: You'll get a smoother hole if you rotate the needle as you push it through. If you're using aluminum foil or paper, sandwich it between two lightweight cards while you make the pinhole. This will help you make a smoother, rounder hole.
You can check your pinhole to make sure it's perfectly round by looking through the back of the camera. To see if the image is clearly visible, aim the camera toward a printed page to determine if you can see the letters clearly.
The shutter for the camera can be a flap of opaque dark paper hinged with a piece of tape. Use a small piece of tape to hold the shutter closed before and after you take a picture.
A viewfinder for a pinhole camera, while not necessary, can be made of 2 pieces of cardboard or wire. The front frame of the viewfinder should be same shape and slightly smaller than the film and located directly above the pinhole at the front of the camera. The rear frame is a sighting peephole directly above the lid of the can and aligned with the center of the front frame.
When you aim your camera at subjects closer than 5 feet, position the subject low in the viewfinder to allow for parallax--the difference between the view you see through the viewfinder and the image recorded on the film. This effect is caused by the separation between the viewfinder and the pinhole.
You can load the camera either with film or fast photographic paper. Your choice of film or paper may depend in part on the exposure times. Paper, because it is less sensitive to light than film, will probably require an exposure of about 2 minutes for sunlit subjects. Film may require only 1 or 2 seconds for subjects in sunlight.
Paper is easier to handle since you can load it into the camera under a safelight. If you don't have a safelight, you can work by the light of a flashlight covered with several thicknesses of red cellophane paper placed 6 to 8 feet away. Most film, on the other hand, must be handled in total darkness.
If you use film, you can cut up a roll of KODAK TRI-X Pan Film or KODAK T-MAX 400 Profesional Film, 120 size, into 2 3/8-inch squares or 2 3/8 x 3 1/2-inch pieces. This must be done in total darkness, of course. At night a closet will probably be dark enough if lights in adjoining rooms are turned off. Sheet film, such as KODAK Tri-X Pan Professional Film, is easier to use because it's flat.
A camera made from a 2-pound coffee can will take a 2 1/4 x 3 1/4-inch piece of film or photographic paper. You can use a 3 1/4 x 4 1/4-inch piece if about 1/2 inch is clipped from each corner of the film or paper. A camera made from a 1-gallon paint can will take a 4 x 5-inch piece of film or paper.
When you have the size of paper or film you need, tape it firmly to the inside of the end of your camera opposite the pinhole. The emulsion should face the pinhole. The emulsion side of photographic paper is the shiny side. The emulsion on roll film is on the inside of the curl. Sheet film is identified by notches cut into one of the shorter sides. When you hold the film in a vertical position with the notches in the top edge toward the right side, the emulsion is facing you. Another way to determine the emulsion side of either paper or film is to touch both sides with a moistened finger. The emulsion side will feel slightly tacky. Test near the edge to avoid a fingerprint in the center of the picture. You will need to tape down the four corners if you use cut-up roll film or paper. Taping two diagonal corners will work for sheet film. Close the camera, making sure the shutter is closed.
It's a good idea to practice with an exposed piece of film or paper before trying the load the camera for your actual picture taking.
The following table gives approximate exposure recommendations for a pinhole camera. It's a good idea to make three exposures of different durations for each scene to improve the likelihood you'll get a good picture.
Process and print film negatives in the usual way. Dry the paper negative and make a contact print from it in the normal way, with the emulsion (picture) side of the paper negative toward the emulsion (shiny) side of the printing paper.

De Ontdekking
Eric Heuvel is a Dutch Clear Line artist, best known for his series 'January Jones' and his educational comics about World War II. Born in Amsterdam, Heuvel worked as a customs officer between 1983 and 1997 before turning to comics fulltime. Heuvel drew his first comics in the 1980s, drawing 'SF-Terra' and some contributions to fanzines like Krest, Rebel Comics and Yèch. He made his professional debut in 1986 with 'January Jones', a comic about a female pilot in the 1930s. The series was written by Martin Lodewijk, published in Sjosji magazine and collected in book format by Big Balloon between 1987 and 1995.
Bud Broadway
Eric has also been working on the project of adapting the television comedy 'Toen was geluk nog heel gewoon', into comic format for Studio and Mikro Gids. His classical text strip 'Bud Broadway', for which he also wrote the scripts, was serialized in Algemeen Dagblad from the mid 1990s until 2000. This newspaper also picked up his next strip, 'Het Geheim van de Tijd' ('The Secret of the Time'), written by Frits Jonker, in March 2003.
De Ontdekking
As a commercial aritst, Heuvel has made comics for the annual reports of the Blokker Holding, advertising strips for Reaal, and a comic for the Dutch public transport company (GVB) in Amsterdam. In the early 1990s he made the comic strip 'Bos & Beemd' with Hanco Kolk for the military magazine Appèl. Eric, who studied to become a history teacher from 2001 to 2003, also made educational comic pages about World War II for the Anne Frank Foundation, that were published in the Anne Frank Krant. This eventually evolved into 'De Ontdekking', Eric's educational comic about the occupation of Holland during World War II.
De Zoektocht
'De Ontdekking' was published in cooperation with the Anne Frank Foundation in February 2003 and got wide media attention. Heuvel made a follow-up in 2007 that dealt with the Holocaust in general, called 'De Zoektocht'. He finished his World War II trilogy with 'De Terugkeer', about the Dutch Indies during the war. Heuvel continued with 'Frontstad Rotterdam', an oblong comic about the bombing of Rotterdam in 1940, created in commission of the War-Resistance Museum in Rotterdam. Other educational comic projects include 'De Zaak Sven' (about stalking) and 'Lila & Kross', a comic for the Amsterdam Public Transport Company written by Patty Klein.
Bureau Warmoesstraat
In 2007, Eric made the newspaper strip 'Bureau Warmoesstraat' in cooperation with ex-police officer Piet Middelkoop in Het Parool. The series consisted of comic adaptations of real anecdotes about the notorious Warmoesstraat police station in the 1980s. Heuvel was also present in the relaunched Eppo magazine with a new 'January Jones' story (2009) and 'Alleen Op De Wereld', a new comic written by Rob van Bavel. Since 2012 he also makes a comic called 'Carbeau, Barones & Bolides' with Noël Ummels. The comic was originally published in Autoweek, but it is published in Eppo since 2014. For Samsam, a monthly about children in development countries, Heuvel has made the comics serial 'Tjin & Charlie' with Mirjam Bonting in 2014-2015.
In 2016, he was one of the six Dutch artists to draw a comic book starring Willy Vandersteen's 'Suske en Wiske' for S.O.S. Kinderdorpen, based on a story by a Dutch celebrity. Heuvel made the story 'De Schaal van Moraal' with TV host Wilfred Genee.
Kees Kousemaker welcomed Eric Heuvel to Lambiek
for a signing of 'De Ontdekking' on 15 March 2003.

Matt Moore is running as if time is standing still. The senior continued his quest to be the fastest high school athlete not just in the state but around the country this weekend setting a personal best at the Stanford Invitational in Palo Alto, Calif.
"When we have a truly elite athlete we try to choose a meet to travel to, something really out of the ordinary," coach Allen Etheridge said. "Each kid we've taken to a meet like this has run a significant personal record."
Moore didn't disappoint. He finished second in his preliminary, running the 100-meter dash in a time of 10.96, a best in his career and qualified seventh for the finals among 50 of the country's elite.
In the finals, he one-upped again, finishing fifth in a time of 10.91, two-tenths of a second behind the winner, Takkartist McKinley who ran a 10.71.
"It's really early in the outdoor season for Matt to have the legs for a longer sprint," coach Etheridge said. "He's spent the past few months running 55 and 60m, so the extra 45-50 meters is a long way.
"He had as good a first 80m as I've seen in any race he's run. He was technically sharp in every part of the race — he just needs more longer racing. He'll end up very fast, we think."
His time would've made him sixth in the college results at the meet.
The group took the layover time to sightsee in San Fransico Sunday and will return for the Oak Ridge mid-week meet Tuesday and the Oak Ridge Relays Saturday. Both events are at Ben Martin Track and Field adjacent to the high school.

As modern televisions look very similar to each other with pleasing to the eye, shiny and stream lined designs, you could be forgiven for thinking that LCD, LED and plasma TVs are all the same. They even have similar features such as the ability to access the Internet or display photos.
But despite their similarities and as televisions are sizeable investments, knowing what you want from your television is essential to buying the right model. With the more simple characteristics of the available televisions seeming to be so alike, which set is the best for you?
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) televisions have back lamps behind the screen which shine white light through millions of coloured liquid crystals to create a black and coloured picture. LCD TVs are perfect for the smaller to average sized screens (typically up to 32 inches) as the technology really suits the display, with images appearing sharper and clearer. It is only recently that the LCD TV has expanded beyond the 32-inch option with many manufacturers now providing models over 40 inches.
As well as using less energy than the plasma TV, the LCD also produces less glare and is therefore more suited to natural daylight conditions meaning the need to close the curtains to hide your early-evening soaps from the late afternoon sun is greatly reduced.
Light Emitting Diode (LED) televisions work very much the same way as the more common LCD option. The LED TV is relatively new to the market in comparison to the plasma and LCD, however it has gained a fast following for its energy efficiency and size. An LED TV can be much slimmer than the standard LCD or plasma TV due to its backlight structure that separates it from the crowd. Traditionally, televisions had large back lamps used to light the screen, LED televisions offer two alternatives:
- The back lamps which usually feature are substituted for lots of tiny LED lights
- The back lamp format is removed completely and small LED lights are used around the sides of the screen, creating what is called an Edge LED TV.
Although many buyers are opting for LCD or LED televisions, the plasma TV remains an old favourite. The plasma TV works as mini fluorescent tubes are lit by a stream of ultra-violet light which hits various dots of colour to create an image. This process takes place between two pieces of glass, which causes the infamous plasma TV glare.
Sleek and stylish, Panasonic are considered the authority on this type of HDTV but plenty of other manufacturers still produce this breed of box, as well as concentrating on LCD and LED alternatives.
This is due to the fact that plasma TVs are able to produce deeper blacks and stronger colours as well as a quicker image response time in comparison to LCD and LED TVs. This also puts the plasma TV at an advantage for the next generation of home entertainment: 3DTV.
According to the BBC, the average Brit spends 3.8 hours a day watching TV, so making sure you get the right set can make sure that time is well spent.

3.7-13 Statutory Negligence - Falling Asleep
While Driving
Revised to January 1, 2008
The plaintiff claims that the
defendant was negligent in falling asleep while driving. As part of the duty to
use reasonable care in the operation of a motor vehicle, a driver must take very
great care to avoid falling asleep. Because sleep does not ordinarily come upon
a driver of a car without some warning of its approach, a driver who knows, or
should know, that (he/she) is becoming sleepy must either maintain a constant
vigilance to stay awake or cease driving. Proof that a driver of a car fell
asleep while driving is, alone, a sufficient basis for finding the driver
[<Give the following paragraphs if
the defendant claims to have proven that there was an unforeseen falling asleep
or loss of consciousness caused by a circumstance that tends to excuse or
justify the conduct.> In this case, the defendant has claimed that (he/she)
is not liable because the falling asleep or loss of consciousness while driving
was caused by <state the facts claimed by the defendant to excuse or justify
conduct>. A driver who falls asleep or loses consciousness while driving
may be found not to be negligent if such conduct was due to unforeseen sleep or
loss of consciousness resulting from a condition of which the driver was not and
should not have been aware.
In evaluating circumstances presented
in this case, you should keep in mind that ordinarily sleep does not come upon
one without warning of its approach. Additionally, a driver who loses control
of a car due to a sudden condition or loss of consciousness is not automatically
excused from liability. Whether a driver is negligent or not under these
circumstances depends upon whether (he/she) was or should have been aware of the
claimed condition. A driver is not negligent when suffering a black-out,
fainting spell, sudden attack or loss of consciousness when it occurs without
premonition or warning. In determining whether the defendant was negligent
under the circumstances of this case, you should consider the defendant's health
history along with all of the other evidence presented.]
Shea v. Tousignant, 172 Conn. 54
(1976); Bushnell v. Bushnell, 103 Conn. 583 (1925); Smith v. Czescel,
12 Conn. App. 558 (1987).
In Smith, the Appellate
Court outlined "several critical features of the law" required in a charge on
falling asleep while driving as enunciated in Bushnell. The Court
emphasized that "reasonable care to avoid such a danger requires very
great care." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Smith v. Czescel,
supra, 12 Conn. App. 566. The court further stated that: "[t]he jury should
also have been instructed, in accordance with these principles, that if a driver
of a car falls asleep while driving, that alone will be a sufficient basis for a
finding of negligence, because ordinarily the law requires that a driver
maintain a vigilance either to stay awake or to cease driving. The jury should
have been instructed that, if there are circumstances which excuse or justify
his having fallen asleep, they may find that the driver was not negligent, but
in this connection they should have been further instructed that 'ordinarily
sleep does not come upon one without warning of its approach.'" Id.
Additionally, in order for the jury
to consider a defendant's claim of excuse or justification, there must be
evidence presented that the defendant either suddenly lost consciousness from a
cause other than sleep or suddenly fell asleep without having experienced the
usual pre-sleep warnings. Id., 568-69.
Falling asleep can constitute
recklessness. See Potz v. Williams, 113 Conn. 278 (1931); Smith v.
Czescel, 12 Conn. App. 558 (1987).

VAIL - Earlier this fall, extreme skier Glen Plake practically became a household name after surviving an enormous avalanche on Manaslu in Nepal.
In the week that followed, Plake's name was plastered all over the press wires and his face became ubiquitous on television news. As Anderson Cooper interviewed Plake on CNN, people who had never heard of extreme skiing wanted to know who was the Bible-reading American mountaineer who had survived while 11 others perished.
Those who did know Plake learned of his prowess on the snow in mostly the same way - through the 1988 ski film "The Blizzard of Aahhh's," where we watched a young, mohawked ski rebel from Lake Tahoe introduce himself to the world on the slopes and in the streets of Chamonix, France.
In the decades that followed, Plake continued to extreme ski around the world and appear in ski movies. In the 2000s, he appeared in four Warren Miller movies and made three first descents in the Himalayas.
In September, while Plake was wrapped up in his sleeping bag in his tent, clutching his Bible as the Manaslu slide carried him nearly 1,000 feet down the mountain, filmmaker Greg Stump - the director of "Blizzard of Aahhh's" who discovered Plake - was sitting on a completed follow-up to that movie, a documentary of sorts about the movie itself entitled "Legend of Aahhh's."
That movie, which premieres in Vail on Monday, details the discovery of a different Glen Plake than the one who emerged from that slide on Sept. 22.
"Glen has certainly matured as he's gotten older," said Stump in an interview on Friday. "He's quit doing all drugs and quit drinking. Of course, part of that was forced upon him by the state as he was up for a third felony, looking at 12 years. It was more than just suggested that he change his ways."
But in "Legend," we get to see a lot of footage and stories of the old Glen Plake, the "drinker, bonger, partier," as Stump described him, who Stump didn't want around due to the fact he was such a
"One of the first times I had him around, I walked into the lobby of the Cliff Lodge where we were staying at, and I could smell pot coming from one of the rooms," Stump said. "I said, 'Oh, God, please don't tell me that's coming from one of our comped rooms.' Of course it was. He'd wear these orange bad boy pants, and he'd get so drunk he'd pass out and piss himself and leave an orange stain on the carpet from the die in the pants."
In addition to a bio of the nearly deceased Plake, "Legend" also features interviews with members of the ski community who have been dead now for years, including ski filmmakers Otto Lang and John Jay.
Stump said in the interview-heavy format that he was trying to make more of a documentary than a traditional ski film.
"I've heard criticism that there's not enough action in it, but that's not what I'm trying to do here," Stump said. "I knew I wasn't going to be able to go out and shoot a bunch of new footage with Glen Plake and Scot Schmidt, that just wasn't gonna happen."
"Legend" takes viewers on a fun-filled family journey back to the olden days of ski films, a behind-the-scenes rip down memory chute. It examines the impact "Blizzard" had on the ski-movie industry, looking at things like the progressive soundtrack the film employed and how that created a mold for the films of the future.
In "Legend," Stump said he wanted to feature a band whose music he felt strongly about, so he went with a personal friend, Lukas Nelson. Nelson and his band, "Promise of the Real," are no strangers to the Vail Valley, headlining the Yarmony Grass festival at State Bridge this summer and also playing in last year's Underground Sound fall concert series.
"He's gonna be a superstar," Stump said.
Edwards resident Barry Levinson makes an appearance in the film, talking about how he helped Stump connect with artists and managers from the ZTT record label, which was featured in "Blizzard."
"It was real music, from real musicians as opposed to just some kind of soundtrack or Muzak music," Levinson said. "And from that point on, I think even Warren Miller switched over to using real music in his films. That created a change in the landscape of ski movies from that point on."
Warren Miller is featured prominently in the movie, talking about the split of his company and other issues you don't get to hear the godfather of ski films speak on very often.
In "Legend," Miller admits to hanging on to symphonic music for way too long in his films.
"As music was radically changing, I was so busy making movies I wasn't paying attention to what was happening in the musical genre," Miller said.
Stump said admissions like that one helped him realize his interview with Miller was something extraordinary.
"Everybody thinks Warren Miller is Santa Claus, but he can actually be a pretty cranky character," Stump said. "In the interview, he started talking about his company, so I just went with it ... at the end of the interview, he said it was one of the better interviews he had ever had ... once I got that, I was high-fiving myself and jumping around in the parking lot, because I knew I had a movie."

The Camdenton R-III School board recently voted to keep the total tax levy the same that it has been for years. Superintendent Tim Hadfield recommended that the board vote to keep the $2.87 tax levy the same for the upcoming school year on Monday night.
"The $2.87 tax rate has remained the same for eleven years," Hadfield said. "I would recommend that it would stay consistent for this year."
Hadfield added that the district was able to keep it the same in part to conservative spending.
"We are very fortunate to have been fiscally conservative even in the face of some trying times in the past years. Even in trying times, been able to build up fund balance," Hadfield said. "Since we do have strong reserves and getting some sense of lake economy picking up, the $2.87 seems like a prudent tax rate to operate for our school district."

A show performed by Meridian's own Maryann Kyle to rave reviews in New York City is coming to the Temple Theatre.
Kyle, an associate professor of voice at the University of Southern Mississippi, will perform the cabaret-style show she created, "Sondheim in the City", Mar. 3.
Stephen Sondheim's music, like "Send in the Clowns", will be familiar to theatre goers.
The production debuted at USM late last year, where it originated as a creative project for the faculty.
"And it's sort of my life in reverse. I'm an aging actress who is coming from her last audition as a musical theatre ingenue," said Kyle of the story line. "I've just been told I'm too old to audition for the ingenue part. And I go back and sort of relive my life and the loves that I've given up and the things that I've sacrificed for my career."
There are limited tickets available for the Mar. 3 performance, starting at 7:30 p.m. The cost is $25 each, with the University of Southern Mississippi sponsoring a reception prior to the show.
For tickets, go by the Temple Theatre, or call 601-693-5353.

SAN FRANCISCO -- His high-pitched cries of "Owie!" leave no doubt that Matthew Ouimet is in pain. But where? The angry purple incision from his double transplant surgery two weeks ago? His tongue, which he bit so hard during a recent procedure that it had to be surgically stitched? His hands and feet, bruised from IV needles? It's difficult to tell.
Matthew, the 2-year-old son of Kelly and Kristi Ouimet, of Antioch, has come a long way the past few weeks. He was born with primary hyperoxaluria Type 1, a rare genetic condition that left him in need of a kidney and liver transplant. After a 15-month wait on the transplant list, he received his organs during a 13-hour operation that ended the morning of June 5. He survived a rocky first week in the ICU, during which his transplanted organs did not fully function and he had internal bleeding that caused him to vomit blood. However, a planned follow-up surgery a week later went well. Less than two days after that, he was moved out of ICU.
Since that milestone, it has become clear he still has a long way to go. Children make up a small fraction of transplant recipients. According to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, only 7.4 percent of all transplants performed in the U.S. since Jan. 1, 1988, involved patients 18 years old or younger. In Matthew's case, both organs had to come from the same donor to reduce the risk of rejection. Three other times the Ouimets were told that organs were available for Matthew, only to have their hopes dashed when it wasn't a good enough match.
"It's a rough road," Kristi Ouimet said Wednesday from her son's room at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital. "Like they keep telling us, it's a marathon."
Added Kelly Ouimet, "It's a marathon with hurdles."
The good news: Though his transplanted kidney is functioning at a low level, doctors reassure the Ouimets that such so-called "sleepy" kidneys are not unusual. There has been bleeding around the new liver; doctors say that also is not unexpected. Best of all, there is no sign of rejection.
"They don't seem to be too upset," Kristi Ouimet said, referring to Matthew's doctors. "They said, 'Don't be surprised if (the kidney) takes weeks.' It's not rejection. That's what they care about."
What the Ouimets weren't prepared for were the ancillary issues -- the tongue, the transplant incision that keeps popping open, Matthew's vomiting, his restlessness, his pain, their inability at times to comfort him.
"It's been one thing after another on top of the transplant," Kristi Ouimet said. "There is no normal. I love my baby. I don't recognize this behavior."
But she understands it.
"He's a 2-year-old on steroids," she said. "And he hurts."
The Ouimets, if occasionally disconcerted, are not discouraged. On Wednesday afternoon, they responded to every mini-crisis with quiet patience.
"With my law enforcement background," said Kristi Ouimet, who went through the Antioch Police Department's explorer program and worked for the Lodi Police Department, "I can do what needs to be done. But when he says, 'Mommy, save me,' there goes that facade."
Both parents rave about the support they're receiving from the UCSF staff and the community. Matthew, Kristi Ouimet said, has teams of doctors with various specialties: gastrointestinal; ear, nose and throat; pain; kidney; and liver.
The hospital's child life department provides activities for Matthew's older siblings, Patrick, 8, and Molly, 10, when they come to visit. Workers in the hospital cafeteria ask Kristi, "How's my baby doing today?"
Meanwhile, people who have read or heard about Matthew's case have mailed cards and packages of stickers, books and hand-drawn pictures to the hospital. Matthew also has received two little superhero capes -- one Superman style (with an M instead of an S) and one with a Mickey Mouse print.
While appreciative, the Ouimets are quick to remind that they have a bigger message to share. From Matthew's hospital room they are teaming with the American Red Cross to organize a blood drive July 11 at St. Ignatius Church in Antioch, at which people can also register to be an organ donor and place themselves on a bone marrow registry.
"We're not doing this for us," Kelly Ouimet said, noting that blood donations will go to others in need, not Matthew.. "We're doing this so people will do for each other."
Contact Gary Peterson at 925-952-5053. Follow him at Twitter.com/garyscribe.
1-7 p.m. July 11
St. Ignatius of Antioch Church, 3351 Contra Loma Blvd.
In addition to donating blood, people can register to be an organ donor and, with a mouth swab, have themselves placed on a bone marrow registry.

adding a new property to a spline is done with a new item in the .ui file. This works fine, but when the line is drawn and afterwards selected, there is an other property edit window which shows only the original properties. How can I handle the need to edit the new property when the spline is selected?
Thanks for suggestions!
