Fishing restrictions are in place on Klamath River
It used to be that some of the hottest salmon fishing in the fall occurred on the Klamath River. Campgrounds were packed, and the mouth of the Klamath literally was a sea of boats.
A limit of Chinook salmon was the rule rather than the exception. To preserve the freshly caught salmon, many anglers would immediately can the fish to go out the next day and limit again.
Slowly, the huge numbers of fish dwindled. Because of fewer and fewer fish returning to the river system, fewer and fewer anglers went to the Klamath River.
And then the whole West Coast salmon fishery collapsed. For two years, there was no salmon fishing season at all, commercial or sport.
This year, the salmon fishery completely reopened for all the major ports, from Monterey north to the Oregon border. While salmon were caught, the jury is still out on just how successful the fishery was.
The salmon that didn't find themselves impaled on an angler's hook and are hitting the 3- to 4-year-old bracket are coming up their native rivers to spawn and die. Just about any river that has salmon still faces pretty heavy angler pressure.
While there are no restrictions on salmon fishing on local rivers, such as the Sacramento, American and Feather, an imposed limit of 3,950 adult salmon was allowed on the Klamath. Once that number was reached or expected to be reached, a new size limit automatically would be triggered.
Today, anglers may no longer keep an adult fall-run Chinook salmon that is 22 inches or more along the river's lower 40 miles.
The Department of Fish and Game says it's encouraged by the Klamath River's salmon returns so far this year. Some anglers may be disappointed with the new restrictions, but the early reports of salmon returns means there are more fish in the river.
The allotment of 3,950 is half the number of adult fish allotted to recreational anglers. The other half is available to recreational anglers above the Highway 96 Bridge to Weitchpec and on the Trinity River.
Current fishing
Salmon: The upper Sacramento River in the Red Bluff area has been outstanding. Two-fish limits have been common. Most are still back trolling lures such as a Kwikfish, but those soaking a big gob of roe are also getting bit well. There are several jacks — small salmon — in the mix, and then there's the super lunker more than 40 pounds that wants to snap your rod.
Rod-bending action on and near the mouth of the American River has been spotty. There's a flurry of action when a run moves through, then it goes dead and it's a big waiting game again.
The Feather River, especially around Shanghai Bend and in the Gridley area, has increased, mainly because of increased flows.
The whole salmon fishery should improve with the storms that came through mid-week. Rains that cause cooler weather and cools the water usually has a profound effect on the fishery.
Lake Pardee: If you want to hit this close-by lake, you have just about a month. Owned and operated by the East Bay Municipal District, the lake is closed to all access each year, and that includes fishing. This year, the closure is slated for the end of the day Sunday, Nov. 6. The lake is heavily planted with trout — weekly private plantings and those made by the DFG — but down to the last 30 days of operations, all plants have ended for this season.
Most of the current fishing success is coming from boaters working the eastern side of the lake from the Sugar Bowl through the Narrows and a bit beyond Mel's Cove. Others have been trolling the mouth of the river and up to Twin Coves. Drop anchor way up the river, around Columbia, and dunk eggs, crawlers or Power Bait.
Lake Camanche: Big trout derby on Saturday, Oct. 15. Derby fishing hours will be from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. One trout will have a $25,000 tag. Another nine trout will be tagged worth other prizes. There will be cash prizes for the biggest stringers for first, second and third place.
The derby might be considered a tad pricey at $30, but your entry fee will qualify you for the prizes, a BBQ lunch and a raffle ticket. For information, contact the North Shore at (209) 763-5166.
Currently, the top fishing action is along the buoy line at the dam for those trolling with downriggers set at the 40-foot level. Hauling a grub works well.
Lake Davis: Lake level is still excellent, and the trolling action has been rated good. With the cooling weather, you only need to get down maybe nine feet with just about any flashy little lure. Lots of 16-inch trout willing to hammer your lure with some of the bigger fish hitting 19. Nearby Frenchman Lake also has good rod-bending action, but you'll need to get down as much as 25 feet in the channel. Again, the best action is for trollers working the region around Turkey Point. Keep at it and you can limit.
Ice House Reservoir: It's an extremely popular lake for anglers. While the lake was heavily planted all summer, the catching has been totally slow. The storms this week, however, should turn around things. The lake has been dropping and is now under 70 percent of capacity. The bite is happening all over Loon Lake — at the upper end of the Crystal Basin lakes — and with the storms, it will get better. Get an early start and you can pick up a limit in under an hour. Small flashers in front of a two-inch grub or crawler should get you bit quickly.

Addons are custom features that you can add to your Vanilla forum. Addons are created by our community of developers and people like you!
These addons are for people who downloaded and set up their own Vanilla forum. Compare your downloaded version with the version requirements on the right.
If your Vanilla forum is hosted at VanillaForums.com, this addon may already be installed there.
UnsureThe community has said nothing.
This addon introduces attributes to comments allowing the comments to be organised into an hierarchy, i.e. a tree, or threaded (though I'm reluctant to use that word due to the way "threads" tend to be implemented in other discussion boards).
Links have been introduced on the comments screens allowing a user to reply to a specific existing comment. This then adds the new comment as a child of the existing comment.
Comments are displayed in tree order. Comments are indented according to the depth they are in the tree. The depth is only calculated for the comments displayed on a single screen, and not for the whole discussion, so pages with a larger number of comments displayed will show the structure to better effect.
The changes the plugin makes to the database involve adding three additional columns to the comments table. Otherwise, nothing else in the database is changed.
The comments are ordered into their trees or threads when the module is installed. If the module is removed, ordering returns to the default posting date order, so it is safe to install and uninstall if you find you don't like it. Because the comment ordering is important, some other plugins that order comments (e.g. some of the voting plugins) may clash with this plugin and give some undefined results.
Please note there is a single line that needs to be added to your theme for the visual indenting to work. The "readme.txt" file provides details on how to do this. We hope that in future versions of Vanilla, this will not be a necessary step, but up to at least version 2.0.14, the line must be added.
Note: This addon is not compatible with any other addon that alters the order of comments, such as the voting addon used on this site. There is unlikely to be a way to make them compatible, but I'm open to suggestions on how it could work.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TAG Mobile, LLC (TAG Mobile), a leading wireless communication service provider, now offers its TAG Mobile Lifeline service in six new states. The new states where the company is now offering the service include Kansas, Michigan, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Wisconsin.
TAG Mobile is an independent company that participates in the federal Lifeline program. The Lifeline program was created by the Federal Communications Commission in 1985 to provide a discount on phone service for qualifying low-income consumers. The purpose is to ensure that all Americans have the opportunities and security that phone service brings. To participate in the program, consumers must have an income that is at or below 135% of the federal Poverty Guidelines or participate in a qualifying state, federal or Tribal assistance program.
The TAG Mobile Lifeline Service provides a cell phone stocked with a pre-set allotment of monthly minutes of use. It is intended to provide access to local emergency services and community resources, to enable vital communications with business and social services. These phones come with text-messaging enabled, caller ID and voicemail. TAG Mobile allows customers to purchase value-based prepaid plans if they use all of their free monthly Lifeline minutes.
"TAG Mobile provides free mobile phones through a grassroots marketing approach across multiple states which help ensure that qualified Lifeline participants have a means of communication. With the economy being the way it is, and unemployment at an all-time high, many families are forced to go without some basic necessities. A cell phone stocked with minutes allows them to get in touch with bosses or potential employers, stay in touch with family and access important services like 911 emergency services and 211 community resources," says Frank Del Col, CEO of TAG Mobile.
The company works extensively in underserved neighborhoods through designated local retail establishments. Here customers can apply for Lifeline service, purchase wireless prepaid service plans and get help with their TAG Mobile service.
To help make the Lifeline application process easy for its customers, TAG Mobile enables customers to apply in person during face-to-face information sessions and community events, or online via their website at www.tagmobile.com. Their online system allows applicants to submit the documentation necessary to verify eligibility for the Lifeline program online, or applicants can print the application form and submit it directly to the company by fax, regular mail, e-mail or by taking it to a participating dealer or agent location.1
Most applicants will qualify for the program if they participate in any of the following government benefit programs: SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), the National School Free Lunch Program, Section 8 Federal Public Housing, TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), Supplemental Security Income, or if the family's income level is at or below 135% of the federal poverty level.

|"Are you a wizard or not?"
The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is a conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
This wizard was bitten by a werewolf in late 1995. He was admitted to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, in the "Dangerous" Dai Llewellyn Ward. Arthur Weasley was also a patient in St Mungo's at the time, having narrowly survived an attack by Voldemort's snake, Nagini. Arthur's wife Molly was concerned about a werewolf being in a public ward, but Arthur reminded her during their visit that the full moon was still two weeks away at the time. The Healers at St Mungo's spoke with the man, trying to persuade him that he'd be able to live an almost normal life. For his part, Arthur spoke with the man and told him that he personally knew a werewolf who was very nice and found the condition quite easy to manage. The man apparently grew annoyed with Arthur and told him he'd give him another bite if he didn't shut up.[1]
When Harry, Hermione, the Weasleys, and a few members of the Order visited Arthur again on Christmas, Remus Lupin strolled over to the werewolf and spoke to him for a while.[2]

The Minnesota media usually luxuriate in national attention directed to local institutions or figures. Not so with the December 28 Wall Street Journal article (behind the Journal subscription paywall) highlighting the University of Minnesota as Exhibit A for the administrative bloat fostered by the higher education bubble. The silence is, as they say, deafening.
The Washington Post's Charles Lane picked up on the Journal article for a column of his own, reprinted here in today's Star Tribune. Lane plucks some choice facts and figures from the Journal to lead his column:
At the University of Minnesota, the number of employees with "human resources" or "personnel" in their job titles has grown from 180 to 272 since the 2004-05 academic year. Since 2006, the university has spent $10 million on consultants for a vast new housing development that is decades from completion. It employs 139 people for marketing, promotions and communications. Some 81 administrators make $200,000 per year or more.
In the past decade, Minnesota's administrative payroll has gone up three times as fast as the teaching payroll, and twice as fast as student enrollment.
Oh, and tuition more than doubled in that same period, to more than $13,000 per year.
These facts and figures, gleaned from a fascinating article in last weekend's Wall Street Journal, are depressingly typical of American higher education, where administrative payrolls and other non-teaching costs have been growing rapidly — without any obvious commensurate benefit for students.
Lane highlights a quotable quote from current university president Eric Kaler:
Minnesota's president told the Journal his school's doubling of "directors" at the Office of Equity and Diversity helped make the campus "more inclusive and more welcoming to people of different backgrounds."
Here's a thought. Some local Twin Cities paper with a reporting staff really ought to follow up on the Journal article with reporting and analysis of its own.

TIFFIN — The Ohio Northern football team wrapped up its 2011 season with a 48-21 loss at Heidelberg Saturday afternoon at Mayer Field.
The Polar Bears finish 6-4 overall and post their 16th consecutive upper division finish in the Ohio Athletic Conference with a 5-4 record, while the Student Princes finish 8-2 overall and 7-2 in OAC play.
Ohio Northern ran for 201 yards in the game, getting 81 yards and a touchdown from junior Carter Paul and 65 yards and a touchdown from sophomore Justin Buenger.
The contest was the first Bendekovic Bowl and will be played annually in honor of former ONU assistant coach Ronnie Bendekovic and his brother, the former HU assistant coach Jason Bendekovic. Ronnie passed away prematurely during Ohio Northern's 2005 season and Jason passed away prematurely during Heidelberg's 2010 campaign.
Sophomore Tyler Rue completed 15 of 33 passes for 165 yards and ran 12 times for 16 yards and a touchdown for ONU.
Defensively, Joe Powell had a career-high 17 tackles and senior Zack Clicck had 12 tackles for ONU.
HU forced five Polar Bear turnovers and returned three of them for touchdowns to end a 16-game losing streak in the series that dated back to 1994.
"You can't turn the ball over five times and give up three non-defensive sores and expect to win," ONU head coah Dean Paul said. "We dug ourselves too big of a hole to climb out of. Heidelberg is a very good team and they deserve a lot of credit. They played well."
The Student Princes rolled up 349 yards on the ground with Germany Woods gaining 173 yards and three TDs and Cartel Brooks gaining 104 yards and another TD.
Heidelberg's Chadd Williamson set the tone early, returning an interception 58 yards for a score on ONU's first possession, giving the hosts a quick 7-0 lead with 5:39 gone in the contest.
Rue tied the game up on the Polar Bears' ensuing possession, soring on a 15-yard run to tie it at 7-7 at the 4:26 mark of the first period.
HU would then march 67 yards in seven plays and go up 14-7 with 2:16 left in the first period on a 23-yard run by Woods.
Brooks would sore on a 4-yard TD run with 8:07 left in the half to make it 20-7 HU and Woods would score on a 4-yard run and Heidelberg led 27-7 with 1:57 left in the first half.
ONU faced a fourth and 3 from its own 41-yard line and attempted a fake punt, with Paul gaining 10 yards to pick up an appearant first down.
But Paul fumbled and Tony Gordon scooped up the fumble and raced 58 yards for a score and a 34-7 HU lead.
The Polar Bears battled back and Buenger plowed over from a yard out on the final play of the first half to make it a 34-14 game at intermission.
The Heidelberg defense struck again on ONU's next possesson as Stephen Fejedelem returned a Rue fumble 30 yards for a 41-14 HU lead just 1:23 into the second half.
Paul raced in from 35 yards out with 13:38 left in the game to pull Ohio Northern within 41-21, but Woods would score from 2 yards out with 5:47 left in the game to end the scoring and give the Student Princes their first 8-win season since 1993.
HU out-gained ONU 424-366 in total offense, but the Polar Bears had 22 first downs to 20 for the Student Princes.

The D-Cubs sloshed their way through a water-logged week of baseball by going 3-3 with a rain out. The D-Cubs have been stuck in neutral for a little while now as they have gone 5-5 in their last 10 games and currently sit in last place in the FSL North Division. One bright spot has been the play of Matt Szczur over the last 10 games. Szczur struggled mightily out of the gates but has turned it around, hitting .316 in his last 10 games with three doubles, a triple, a home run, and three stolen bases.

This is exciting news!! I love canning, and never thought of doing syrup-good to know!! Do you know how many pints recipie #2 will make?
- October 29, 2010 at 6:37 PM
- Stephanie said...
Sounds delicious! And super easy! Question though..do you know how long you can store it ONCE it's been opened? And do you keep it in the fridge after it's been opened, or in a pantry. (That's where we usually keep ours after we've opened it. Maybe we're doing it all wrong. :D) Thanks for an awesome $$ saver and recipe! :D

Bottled syrup is just like store bought syrup. It has the same shelf life once it's been opened and can be stored in the pantry or in the fridge. I'm a pantry girl myself... I'm not a big fan of freezing cold syrup on fresh hot pancakes, but it will work either way.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for sharing, my kids love it when I make homemade syrup, but I wasn't sure how to can it, thank you, they will be so happy to know I will make some and have it on hand in a hurry. Thanks!!!

Does this syrup need to go through the canning process or just put in the jar and your set to go?

Did you use pure maple flavoring or the artificial?

"He has an extensive background in leadership and experience in fundraising, collaboration, and he shares a passion and aspiration for Carolina that I think will be serving us all extremely well as we go forward," Folt said.
Routh, an alumnus of Carolina, has connections to philanthropy on campus as a staff member and volunteer. He is a managing director for U.S. Trust/Bank of America Private Wealth Management in Raleigh.
Folt selected Routh after a nationwide search that began in January of this year. Former UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp appointed an 11-member committee to find candidates for the position.
As Vice Chancellor, Routh will be the University's senior development officer and will work closely with campus fundraising offices and affiliated foundations that support Carolina.
The job was formerly held by Matt Kupec; he resigned in September 2012 after it was discovered that he made improper trips on the University's expense with Tami Hansbrough, mother of Tar Heel basketball star Tyler Hansbrough.
Tami Hansbrough, who also worked for the UNC at the time as a fundraiser, resigned as well.

Drowning is a leading cause of death among children, including infants and toddlers. Most infant drownings occur in bathtubs and buckets. Toddlers between one and four years most commonly drown in
swimming pools. However, many children in this age group drown in ponds, rivers, and lakes. Children older than five years old are most likely to drown in rivers and lakes, but this varies from one area of the country to another. It is important to know that children can drown in even one inch of water.
Drowning refers to death that occurs in this way. When a child is rescued before death, the episode is called a nonfatal drowning.
Any child who has come close to drowning should be given a complete medical examination, even if she seems all right. If she stopped breathing, inhaled water, or lost consciousness, she should remain under medical observation for at least twenty-four hours to be sure there is no damage to her respiratory or nervous system.
A child's recovery from a nonfatal drowning depends on how long she was deprived of oxygen. If she was underwater only briefly, she is likely to recover completely. Longer periods without oxygen can cause damage to the lungs, heart, or brain. A child who doesn't respond quickly to CPR may have more serious problems, but it's important to keep trying, because sustained CPR has revived children who have appeared lifeless or who have been immersed in very cold water for lengthy periods.
For newborn infants and children through four years of age, parents and caregivers should never—even for a moment—leave children alone or in the care of another child, while in or near bathtubs, pools, spas, or wading pools, or near irrigation ditches or other open bodies of water. With children of this age, practice "touch supervision"; that means that a supervising adult should be within an arm's length of the child with full attention focused on the child at all times when she is in or near water. The supervising adult should not be engaged in distracting activities, such as talking on a telephone, socializing, or tending to household chores.
Home swimming pools should be surrounded by a fence that prevents a child from getting to the pool from the house. There is no substitute for at least a four-foot-high, nonclimbable, four-sided fence with a self-closing, self-latching gate. Parents, caregivers, and pool owners should learn CPR and keep a telephone and equipment approved by the US Coast Guard (life preservers, life jackets, shepherd's crook) at poolside.
Toddlers, youngsters with an intellectual disability, and children with
seizure disorders are particularly vulnerable to drowning, but all youngsters are in danger if unsupervised in or near water. Even a child who knows how to swim may drown a few feet from safety. Remember, children should be supervised at all times.
Swimming lessons should not be considered as a way to "drown-proof" your child.

Elsevier was one of the first major publishers to support green open access. By pushing RWA, Elsevier confirmed the suspicion that this support is, at most, a short-term tactic to appease the scholarly community. Its real strategy is now in plain sight. RWA was not done on a whim. They cultivated at least two members of the House of Representatives and their staff. Just to get it out of committee, they would have needed several more. No one involved could possibly have thought they could sneak in RWA without anyone noticing. Yet, after an outcry from the scholarly community, they dropped the legislation just as suddenly as they introduced it. If Elsevier executives had a strategy, it is in tatters.
Create your own Elsevier reports here. Thanks to Nalini Joshi, @monsoon0, for tweeting the link and the graph!)
Paradoxically, its past success is a problem going forward. Elsevier's stock-market shares are priced to reflect the company's consistently high profitability. If it were to deteriorate, even by a fraction, share prices would tumble. To prevent that, Elsevier must raise revenue from a client base of universities that face at least several more years of extremely challenging budgets. For universities, the combination of price increases and budget cuts puts options on the table once thought unthinkable. Consider, for example, the University of California and the California State University systems. These systems have already cut to the bone, and they may face even more dire cuts, unless voters approve a package of tax increases. Because of their size, just these two university systems by themselves have a measurable impact on Elsevier's bottom line. This is repeated across the country and the world.
Clearly, RWA was intended to make cancelling site licenses a less viable option for universities, now and in the future. When asked to deposit their publications in institutional repositories, it is an unfortunate fact that most scholars ignore their own institutions. They cannot ignore their funding agencies. Over time, funder-mandated repositories will become a fairly comprehensive compilation of the scholarly record. They may also erode the prestige factor of journals. After all, what is more prestigious? That two anonymous referees and an editor approved the paper or that the NIH funded it to the tune of a few million dollars? Advanced web-usage statistics of the open-access literature may further erode the value of impact factor and other conventional measures. Recently, I expressed some doubts that the open access movement could contribute to reining in journal prices. I may rethink some of this doubt, particularly with respect to funder-mandated open access.
Elsevier's quick withdrawal from RWA is quite remarkable. Tim Gowers was uniquely effective, and deserves a lot of credit. When planning for RWA, Elsevier must have anticipated significant push back from the scholarly community. It has experience with boycotts and protests, as it has survived several. Clearly, the size and vehemence of the reaction was way beyond Elsevier's expectations. One can only speculate how many of its editors were willing to walk away over this issue.
Long ago, publishers figured out how to avoid becoming a low-profit commodity-service business: they put themselves at the hub of a system that establishes a scholarly pecking order. As beneficiaries of this system, current academic leaders and the tenured professoriate assign great value to it. Given the option, they would want everything the same, except cheaper, more open, without restrictive copyrights, and available for data mining. Of course, it is absurd to think that one could completely overhaul scholarly publishing by tweaking the system around the edges and without disrupting scholars themselves. Scholarly publishers survived the web revolution without disruption, because scholars did not want to be disrupted. That has changed.
Because of ongoing budget crises, desperate universities are cutting programs previously considered untouchable. To the dismay of scholars everywhere, radical options are on the table as a matter of routine. Yet, in this environment, publishers like Elsevier are chasing revenue increases. Desperation and anger are creating a unique moment. In Simulated Annealing terms (see a previous blog post): there is a lot of heat in the system, enabling big moves in search of a new global minimum.
Disruption: If not now, when?

Grain of salt
"(With) a grain of salt," (or "a pinch of salt") is an idiom of the English language which means to view something with skepticism, or to not take it literally.[1]
Theories of the phrase's origin include Pliny the Elder's Naturalis Historia, regarding the discovery of a recipe for an antidote to a poison.[2] In the antidote, one of the ingredients was a grain of salt. Threats involving the poison were thus to be taken "with a grain of salt", and therefore less seriously.
The Latin phrase cum grano salis ("with a grain of salt") is not what Pliny wrote. It is constructed according to the grammar of modern European languages rather than Classical Latin. Pliny's actual words were addito salis grano ("after having added a grain of salt").
An alternative account says that the Roman general Pompey believed he could make himself immune to poison by ingesting small amounts of various poisons, and he took this treatment with a grain of salt to help him swallow the poison. In this version, the salt is not the antidote. It was taken merely to assist in swallowing the poison.
The Latin word salis means both "salt" and "wit", so that the Latin phrase "cum grano salis" could be translated as both "with a grain of salt" and "with a grain (small amount) of wit". [3]

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 27, 2008) - Senior forward Kenyona Swader (Smyrna) scored a game high 19 points, leading a group of Buccaneers that posted double figures as the ETSU men's basketball team grounded the North Florida Ospreys 92-68 Sunday afternoon in Atlantic Sun Conference action at Memorial Center.
A crowd of 3,562 witnessed the Bucs improve to 11-9 overall, 5-2 in A-Sun play, keeping pace just one game behind Jacksonville for first place in the regular season standings. Meanwhile, a nightmarish season continued for UNF, as the Ospreys dropped to 1-18, 0-7.
"You never know about a game, but we were hopeful to play a lot of guys and we got to do that today," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team has won three of its last four games and is now 7-1 inside
While Swader led the way with 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting from the floor - including a 3-of-5 showing from 3-point range - the Bucs also got 14 points and 11 rebounds from junior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), who picked up his second double-double of the season. Along with Swader and Tiggs, senior guard Travis Strong (
In the first half, UNF had the game tied at 7-7, but from there the Bucs went on a 25-9 offensive run to build a 16-point lead at 32-16 with just over five minutes left before the intermission. The Ospreys got to within 13 with left, but ultimately a 3-pointer from senior post Reed and four straight from Pigram made it 48-32 at the break.
The Bucs opened the second half where they had left off in the first half, going on a 15-7 run to increase their advantage to 24 points at 63-39. ETSU kept the pressure on with a bevy of 3-pointers to ultimately lead by as many as 30 with just over six minutes remaining in the contest.
In all, the Bucs out-rebounded the Ospreys 46-35, while forcing UNF into 18 turnovers on eight steals. In addition, ETSU hit on 80 percent of its foul shots (28-of-35) and shot 43 percent from the field.
The Bucs will return to action at home Friday night against Mercer, with game time set for The game will air on regional cable thanks to CSS, while fans unable to access the cable broadcast can - as always - watch the Bucs live via video streaming at ASun.TV.

Pistons fans are already anxious to see the new players on the 2009-10 roster once training camp begins next week. Apparently the team is planning another way to entice interest in the club.
According to Keith Langlois at Pistons.com, the Pistons are planning to hold their annual open practice to the public during preseason. Though the details have yet to be officially released, Langlois says there is a twist in the works this year to attract even more fans.
The Pistons have held the open practice for the last couple of seasons at Oakland University in Rochester. As for the twist, perhaps it's a meet-and-greet with players. It could be a chance to win extra prizes. It could even be a chance to play H-O-R-S-E with the coaching staff, which has happened in past years.
Details are expected to be formally announced shortly.

Get Wonder-struck with the combination of game play...! So many different combinations to keep you sitting at the edge of the seat..! You will hardly find any game similar to Flip Lips with these many combinations to play on Appstore.
Look out for the hidden lips behind the circles…! Revealing the lips is a big task in this game. Flip Lips for iPad is a game you would love to play when you are travelling, idle, waiting at the airport or when you want to kill your spare time. Rattle your brain to flip the lips …!
Flip Lips for iPad is a logical puzzle designed to make you think with every move you make. The lips will be revealed when you tap on the circle, very easy…isn't it..? But the challenge is to look out for the adjacent circle which flips open with every tap you make.
As you tap, the adjacent images flip open, so if you have already flipped a lip, it would close back. This is the sweet challenge in this game which will make you go crazy.
The objective is to choose the correct circle to flip open, and the adjacent circles will expose the lips. Once all the circles are flipped, the lips are exposed.
So start playing Flip Lips for iPad and explore the lips.

Teen Mom 2 has never been a show with much subtlety. Jenelle Evans, Kailyn Lowry, Chelsea Houska, and Leah Calvert (Messer) have always brought the drama and the outward craziness to MTV. But now, it's starting to get out of control.
It's getting SO out of control, in fact, that there are rumors of MTV pulling the plug. The new season comes back on February 18, just two weeks after season 3 ended. If that weren't fishy enough, it seems the girls are starting to really lose it.
The show started with an amazing, admirable goal. They aimed to stop teen pregnancy by taking a real look at it. They succeeded in meeting that goal, so kudos to them. But somewhere along the way, the original message ... got lost.
The show became about the girls and how messed up they are. Jenelle Evans and Amber Portwood became household names and all the tabloids wanted to know what they were doing.
Unlike Jessica Simpson or other tabloid-stalked celebs, these are real girls without the Hollywood money and connections, and their low-life friends are along for that ride.
That means Kiefer and Andrew and any loser associate of Jenelle's can make a few bucks by selling a story and by manipulating the unstable and clearly difficult woman into making a fool of herself. It's exploitation and MTV knows it.
At a certain point, the network is doing more harm than good by continuing the show. From the looks of season 4, that time might be now ...
In the past MTV has stepped in when there have been true dangers on their shows. Does anyone remember Ruthie on Real World: Hawaii? That time may be near here ... see below.
What do you think of the season 4 promo?

Each year the initial installment of the annual Manny Flick scholastic rowing series is relatively lightly attended, and that was the case at the Kelly Drive course last Sunday. Penn Charter actually had 18 oarsmen and women out on the Schuylkill, while Springside Chestnut Hill and Germantown Friends each turned out three boys for the season opener.
Fortunately, all three schools operate out of Boathouse Row, and will be able to avoid what promises to be chronic chaos upriver at the old Canoe Club, where crews who trailer their boats to the races park, unload, and launch. Part of the river embankment wall right at the concrete ramp to the main dock has crumbled into the river, and last week the relatively low number of trailer teams launched from the St. Joseph's boathouse dock at the far end of the parking lot. As the race entries swell over the next few weeks, administrators plan to jury-rig launching docks below the St. Joe's enclosure, where there is no permanent ramp down from the bank.
Mount St. Joseph Academy, which routinely trailers its shells down from its Conshohocken boathouse, was absent entirely last Sunday. Roughly five-dozen Mounties had flown out to San Francisco on Thursday to take on some elite West Coast club crews at the Shamrock Invitational Regatta on March 17 and 18.
On the Schuylkill last weekend, several of the local boys' boats went head-to-head. In the JV double category, Penn Charter juniors Spencer Grant and Kevin Kelly placed second in their flight with a time of five minutes, 37.09 seconds, while in an adjacent lane GFS sophomores Greg Goldstein and Ethan Genyk finished fourth in 5:59.83. Their race was won by a duo from Conestoga High School (5:33.48), while in the other flight of the junior double event victorious Malvern Prep (5:32.13) was slightly faster.
Later in the day, a different tandem from the PC Quakers was in the same flight of the varsity double as SCH. Both duos found the competition daunting, as Blue Devil seniors Drew Adubato and John Olson came in fourth in 5:47.20, and Charter 12th-graders Clay Bryan and Jake Smith were sixth in 6:10.18. Up front, the winner was Roman Catholic High School (5:26.61) and the runner-up was Malvern (5:31.60).
Germantown Friends junior Andrew Bair, who was the only Tiger on the water in 2010 before Genyk and Goldstein joined in last spring, won the JV single early in the day. His time of 6:10.92 was not only best in his flight, but more than six seconds faster than the figures from his closest competitors in either of the two sections.
Carl Delacato, an SCH senior, took first place in his flight of the varsity single, winning a sprint over a rival from Riverhead High in Long Island, 6:03.97 to 6:04.46. The other race in this category was faster, though, and it was won by Germantown Academy's only entry last Sunday, junior Eric Blood (5:46.01).
PC juniors Heidi Zisselman and Maria Georgiou, who have been working a double together for some time, won the girls JV race easily, crossing the wire in 6:22.80 while runner-up Conestoga was a dozen seconds back.
The Quakers were also represented in both flights of the girls JV quad. In the faster race (won by Conestoga in 5:55.67), one PC boat came in fourth in 6:47.18 with a crew consisting of (stroke to bow) sophomores Ida Djerassi and Hannah Kramer, junior Julia Mammone, and sophomore Liza Gendler. In the other flight, junior Tara Malone, sophomore Celina McCall, and juniors Maddie Perlmutter and Katie O'Malley came in second (in 6:23.25) behind Shipley (6:19.76).
Penn Charter also put out a boys' quad in the JV category, with junior Stanton Young stroking for sophomore Erich Riedlmeier and juniors Sam Jolinger and Jack Delaney. They placed third in 5:45.99, behind Conestoga (the winner in 5:16.85) and Inter-Ac League rival Haverford School.

And the Nobel laureate for economics in 2010 is?
Thomson Reuters expert David Pendlebury might have an idea. At least one of the picks from his annual predictions of winners (economics, chemisty, and so on) has won a Nobel prize over the years. Here is his short-list for economics this year.
* Alberto Alesina of Harvard University in Massachusetts for research on the relationship between politics and macroeconomics, especially politico-economic cycles.
* Nobuhiro Kiyotaki of Princeton University and John Moore of Britain's University of Edinburgh and the London School of Economics for their Kiyotaki-Moore model, which describes how small shocks to an economy may lead to a cycle of lower output. It described Japan's real-estate crisis in the 1990s and could describe some of the causes of the recent U.S. recession.
* Kevin Murphy of the University of Chicago for research in social economics, including wage inequality and labor demand, unemployment, and how medical research pays off.
But what are your views? Who do you think deserves the prize for 2010 on October 11?

HOUSTON - A warning for parents in Southeast Houston -- police are looking for a man who was able to get an 11-year-old girl into his van. The little girl didn't know him.
Police say he approached the girl while she walked home from school in the 6800 block of Lawndale Street. At first he told the girl it was too hot to be walking. Then he offered to buy her dinner.
She repeatedly said 'no,' but eventually climbed into the front passenger seat of his van. The girl panicked when the man passed her home, but he did turn around and drop her off.
"It's kind of scary," said Veronica Sanchez, her family lives down the street. "You don't feel safe. Even if he didn't harm her, what are his intentions for later?
The man is described as Hispanic and was driving a white Astro van with five spoke chrome rims.
According to the girl's mother, she saw the van at her daughter's bus stop.
Houston police are investigating.
The little girl wasn't hurt and is now home safe.

The FreeNAS project has released version 8.0 of its popular FreeBSD-based network storage server, and in doing so has managed to alienate some of its user base.
The projects directors have decided to focus on the enterprise user as their first priority, and have released FreeNAS 8.0 without the home user functionality present in previous versions.
Gone are iTunes support, DAAP (the Digital Audio Access Protocol), BitTorrent, and UPnP. The release announcement says these features are likely to make it back as third-party plugins.
The new version includes ZFS support (integrating ActiveDirectory and LDAP authorization) and a django-based UI.
