Getting in the game
Guggenheim Partners is buying the Los Angeles Dodgers. Platinum Equity and its CEO, Tom Gores, together purchased the Detroit Pistons last year. Very quickly, the once-taboo notion of funds owning teams, or part of teams, is more than gaining credence. It's become a high-profile reality.
But is this a wave that will redefine sports team ownership, or is it just another occasional ripple in a sea of teams owned by individuals?
|Guggenheim Partners has agreed to buy the
L.A. Dodgers for a record $2.15 billion.
Market forces of recent years have played a role in changing some of the dynamics.
"Over the past few years, we have sat down at the table more than two dozen times [with organized capital funds]," said Citigroup managing director Brad Rangell, referring to funds that pool money to buy companies. Citi advised then-Pistons owner Palace Sports & Entertainment on the sale to Gores. "Four or five years ago," Rangell said, "those conversations were few and far between."
Media, Stadium Biz Drive Interest
The change began in 2008, with the global financial crisis battering some values enough, as was the case in Detroit, that the cost of purchase was low enough to attract the funds' attention. And as sports team ownership became multidimensional through ancillary businesses like stadiums, media channels and concessions, sustaining losses on a team suddenly no longer had to be a deal breaker.
The Dodgers' runaway price (in excess of $2 billion) is predicated on the value of starting a regional sports channel, or at the very least using that as leverage to squeeze out a record-setting media rights fee from a cable operator. The price is hardly based on the economic blocking and tackling basics of team ownership: selling tickets, sponsorships and concessions.
|Bain Capital managing director Steve Pagliuca (left), with Wyc Grousbeck, is part of the group that bought the Boston Celtics in 2002.
"There is an increasing interest to learn more about the sports industry, to see whether a fund might find an opportunity [with a team] to meet their criteria," he said.
If a private equity fund saw team ownership as the only way to get at the ancillary businesses — whether media, stadium, technology or ticketing — then the deal might proceed, Caporale said.
Investment in those other sports businesses is far more common and accepted in private equity, though still not entirely commonplace. Providence Equity, for example, owns part of the YES Network and Soccer United Marketing. A fund led by Dave Checketts invested in Legends Hospitality, the concessionaire joint venture between the New York Yankees and Dallas Cowboys. Checketts is also chairman and CEO of Legends.
Many Skeptics
|Having private-equity investors such as Joe Lacob (left), with fellow Golden State Warriors co-owner Peter Guber, commit to owning sports franchises has helped push the topic of conversation in the finance world.
"It is a tiny part of the [team] mergers and acquisitions market," said Andrew Kline, founder and managing director of sports advisory firm Park Lane.
Indeed. Take David Moross, who may know more about the subject than any person alive. He started a fund with IMG in the late 1990s to invest in and buy sports assets, including teams. After years of focusing on sports, he changed the fund's focus (with IMG out) to leisure and media. His Falconhead Capital owns a running events company, Competitor Group, and a spa business, among others.
Teams, he said assuredly, are bad investments.
"We have studied 72 teams and we haven't bought one," Moross said. "I don't think it is appropriate for any professional investor. Look at the balance sheet and the income statements of every team, and you will come to one conclusion fairly consistently: They are not a high-margin business, and they are highly regulated by the leagues."
Asked about these concerns, Rangell of Citi countered that it behooves the funds to have successful teams to drive the ancillary businesses, which is where the real money is. But Moross notes that those opportunities described by Rangell are scarce. "Regional sports channels yes," Moross said, "but there are few cases where that works."
Leagues More Comfortable
Whether there is money to be made in team ownership or not, what is clear — as evidenced by the Platinum Equity and now Guggenheim purchases — is that leagues are getting more comfortable with these companies.
"We have been very encouraged by the leagues' willingness to deploy a very reasonable approach when faced with a transaction involving organized capital," Rangell said.
Park Lane's Kline agreed.
"You are seeing both private equity and the leagues more open to it," he said.
|Turnkey Sports Poll
|The following are results of the Turnkey Sports Poll taken in March. The survey covered more than 1,100 senior-level sports industry executives spanning professional and college sports.
|In which of the following leagues would buying a franchise yield the greatest return, assuming it were sold in 10 years?
|Not sure / No response
|In your opinion, do the majority of franchise owners in each of the following leagues make a profit, break even or lose money in any given year?
|Make a profit
|Break even
|Lose money
|Not sure

Asked whether the NFL might change its policies barring corporate ownership, Tisch replied that he didn't want to make any predictions.
NFL teams earn healthy returns, so it's possible America's top league can attract individuals willing to spend billions of dollars. But there are plenty of teams in the NHL, NBA and MLB that lose significant sums of cash, and those leagues have long allowed corporate ownership. In fact, as some losses grew substantially in recent years, from millions of dollars annually to tens of millions, individuals looking at buying teams became less willing to step in, according to Michael Yormark, president of the Florida Panthers' parent company, Sunrise Sports & Entertainment, while speaking on a private equity panel last month hosted by the Association for Corporate Growth.
"The big turning point was, Where does capital come from [to fund these sizable losses]," Yormark said of the trend toward potential ownership now including funds. "There are not a lot of people out there who can buy these properties and fund them."
Yormark declined to comment on follow-up questions about whether Sunrise is seeking private equity investment. The company is in the market looking for investors, sources said, as it seeks to develop land around the Panthers' BankAtlantic Center arena.
To accommodate private equity, leagues are forced to bend their rules on ownership to at least some degree. When individuals buy teams, leagues require significant financial disclosure — but funds have multiple partners who are reluctant to each offer the kind of financial disclosure the leagues prefer. That is where the leagues have proved willing to hash out compromises, Rangell said.
For Falconhead's Moross, however, that just speaks to the problems with funds owning teams. A team owner, he said, must be passionate about his or her club and be part of the community. Funds, he said, are not passionate about anything but bringing forth higher returns.
"Teams may sound great … but they have challenges," Moross said. "These are very dangerous investments."

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has taken steps to ban harmful artificial trans fats, a move health advocates welcome.
Research is increasingly showing that carbohydrates - not fats - are lead contributors to heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.
Unhealthy fats are believed to lead to biological changes in the body linked with both heart disease and depression.

I cannot connect to the Line 6 server thru Monkey
CODE 8002006 - Unable to resolve host name to an address
I am unable to get it to check for updates, but my X3L is recognized just fine
- I've disabled everything - AV/Pop up blockers, etc
- Did not have this problem until today
I know others have had this problem.... what do I do?
I uninstalled Monkey and then reinstalled downloading the latest
by tonebuff on 2009-08-19 11:48:46.7660
Someone out there from Line 6 please help:
What is going on with connecting to the Line 6 servers from Monkey? Still having issues....
What can I do or is there an ongoing issue?
by ricksox on 2009-08-20 09:45:23.8960
The issue is most likely with your computer as thousands of people successfully connect to Monkey each day.
Check to make sure all of your anti-virus and pop up blocking software as well as your Windows Firewall is turned off.
Also, make sure that the date and time on your computer are set correctly. Try removing extra USB devices and try connecting to different ports on your PC.
Also, check with your ISP to make sure they did not change any settings on their server side.
by tonebuff on 2009-08-20 15:38:05.2150
Good points - I did all those and still am having the same error message?
Monkey identifies the X3L no problem, but I still can't connect to the server?
by tonebuff on 2009-08-20 17:14:43.6190
Uninstalled Monket and reinstalled 1.27 - STILL MESSED UP MONKEY!
Monkey - installed 1.27 / newest 1.26
Flash memory - installed 1.21 / newest 1.15
Drivers - installed 22.214.171.124 / newest 220.127.116.11
I am ready to give up! Nothing has changed with my computer or internet provider.
by tonebuff on 2009-08-20 18:47:01.8130
Not sure what happened, but all of a sudden its working fine now. I uninstalled a USPS shipping assistant software from my computer and now it works. Hmmm.... not sure if that was the conflict.... but something for the Line 6 bug files

From the Chronicle Kitchen: Roots
We're delighted to have Diane Morgan as our guest blogger once again. Diane's the author of many bestselling Chronicle cookbooks. Her latest release, Roots: The Definitive Compendium with More than 225 Recipes, is a true culinary tour de force. This week's recipe has an eye towards the Thanksgiving holiday that's fast approaching.
What are your favorite root vegetables to eat on a regular basis? Do you have a Thanksgiving root veg tradition? Leave a comment and you'll be eligible to win a copy of the book we'll reward to a randomly selected lucky person (giveaway good in the US and Canada only).
Parsnips are best harvested after the first frost. This is their season!
For this recipe, think carrot cake, but with parsnips—a natural switcheroo! You get the same delightfully moist texture and sweet flavor from ivory white parsnips that you get from carrots. I am a confirmed chocoholic when it comes to cakes, but am completely won over by this one. Big and tall, with a generous amount of cream cheese frosting to satisfy everyone (like my husband) who loves a creamy dab with each bite of cake. I like the rustic look, with just the layers and top frosted, leaving the sides of the cake exposed. If you prefer the sides generously swirled with frosting, too, you'll need to make one and a half times the amount of frosting.
Three-Layer Parsnip Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting
Serves 12
Unsalted butter for the cake pans, at room temperature
2 cups/255 g all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the pans
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp kosher or fine sea salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
3 cups/680 g grated parsnips, about 8 trimmed and peeled parsnips (see Cook's Note)
1 cup/85 g sweetened flaked dried coconut
1 cup/115 g chopped walnuts
1/2 cup/85 g golden raisins
2 cups/400 g granulated sugar
1 cup/240 ml canola or other neutral oil
4 large eggs
Cream Cheese Frosting
Two 8-oz/225-g packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup/225 g unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups/200 g confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup/40 g sweetened flaked coconut for garnish (optional)
1 To make the cake, position one rack in the center and a second rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350°F/180°C/gas 4. Butter three 9-in/23-cm cake pans with 11/2-in/4-cm sides. Line the bottom of each pan with a circle of parchment paper. Butter the parchment paper. Sprinkle one pan with a spoonful of flour, and then tilt and tap the pan to distribute the flour evenly. Turn the pan upside down over the sink and gently shake out the excess flour. Repeat with the second and third pans.
2 In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. In another bowl, stir together the parsnips, coconut, walnuts, and raisins.
3 In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld mixer, beat together the sugar and oil until smooth, about 2 minutes. Begin the mixer on low speed and then increase to medium speed so the oil doesn't splatter. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until the batter is smooth. On low speed, add the flour mixture and beat just until it disappears. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the parsnip mixture until evenly distributed.
4 Divide the batter among the prepared pans, spreading it evenly in each pan. Bake the cakes until they just start pulling away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. For even baking, at the midpoint, switch the pans between the racks and rotate them front to back. Let the cakes cool in the pans on wire racks for 15 minutes. Run a table knife around the inside edge of each pan to loosen the cake sides. Invert the cakes onto the racks and peel off the parchment paper. Let cool completely before frosting.
5 To make the frosting, in the stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using the handheld mixer, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the butter and beat until combined, about 2 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
6 Place one cake layer, top-side down, on a cake plate. Using an offset spatula, spread one-third of the frosting over the top. Spread the frosting right to the edge of the top without frosting the sides. Carefully set the second cake layer on top, placing it top-side down and lining up the edges. Spread half of the remaining frosting on top of the layer the same way. Place the third cake layer on top, right-side up. Spread the remaining frosting over the top of the cake, again without frosting the sides. Swirl the frosting to decorate the top and then garnish the top evenly with the coconut, if desired. Refrigerate the cake for at least 45 minutes to set the frosting. Remove from the refrigerator 30 to 40 minutes before serving.
Cook's Note
If you have a shredding blade for your food processor, you can make quick work of grating the parsnips. Otherwise, use the coarse holes on a box grater.
The cake can be made up to 2 days in advance. Refrigerate until cold and then carefully cover with plastic wrap. The frosted cake also freezes well. Place it in the freezer unwrapped until both the frosting and the cake are firm and set, usually about 3 hours. Wrap the cake airtight in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. I don't like to freeze baked goods longer than 30 days, as they pick up a stale-freezer taste. Thaw the cake, still wrapped, in the refrigerator overnight.

I LOVE parsnips! I grow them in my garden, and roast them all winter long.

I love getting tiny, new potatoes from the farmer's market. Sometimes they aren't much bigger than marbles. Roasted with olive oil, salt & pepper. Yum!

I love glazed carrots at Thanksgiving (and any time). We also have a great pickled beet recipe we've been doing for a few years now that's a nice addition to many dinners, picnics, and parties. winterwrens at gmail dot com

I make refrigerator pickled carrots as my of my crudite platter for my holiday table. They disappear immediately.
nik December 2, 2012 at 5:53 pm
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! I've only just discovered the many delights of parsnips and this one is definitely going on my list of must-try recipes! I love beets too…they are so fun to play with in all sorts of recipes. Citrus Beets with Maple Orange Walnuts is what we had for Thanksgiving…sooo delicious! We try to do something with root veggies every week during the winter…yams and ginger are a big favorite here!

WICHITA, KS (KWCH/CNN) – An eighteen-wheeler nearly flips over, amid what were believed to be 60-mile-per-hour winds on a Kansas highway.
And a driver behind the semi got it all on video.
An expert breaks down how the truck's driver made a miraculous recovery.
Even those who caught the near accident on video can't quite believe what they're seeing.
Neither can Kansas truck driving instructor Richard Noeller. He says the driver's recovery was 70-percent luck.
"I've been wondering if the cargo, he was empty… 'cause he had no cargo shift there," Noeller said.
And 30-percent skill.
"The driver side of this truck the tire is already starting to turn toward the ditch," Noeller said.
Here's what Noeller says the driver was doing, by turning his front axle which steers the truck the same direction the trailer was tilting, that's called jack-knifing the truck, he uses centrifugal force to push the trailer back down to the ground.
But it took more than just this maneuver to keep the truck from rolling.
"He went in the ditch and that sand out in Western Kansas probably was what helped pull that tractor around so sharply," Noeller said.
That's why you see the entire big rig suddenly jump to the right in this video.
"I think that that and a lot of other factors all took place at once," Noeller said.

KLAWOCK - The SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium's Health Promotion department is hosting free health screenings for adults 18 and older this month in Craig and Hydaburg.
The free health screenings will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, May 27, at the SEARHC Hydaburg Health Center, and from noon to 5 p.m. on Friday, May 28, at the Craig Community Association Office. Participants are encouraged to make 20-minute appointments for their health screenings, but they can be seen as walk-ins, though there may be a wait for walk-in patients.
The biometric health screenings involve a simple blood test that gives people their non-fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) and blood pressure results.
Health professionals will be available to discuss screening results with patients. While the biometric health screenings don't replace an annual visit to a person's medical provider, the screening results can let people know if they are at risk for chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease or stroke.
For more information or to make an appointment for a health screening, contact SEARHC Community Wellness Advocate Rueben Chinana in Hydaburg at 285-3462 or SEARHC Community Wellness Advocate June May in Klawock/Craig at 755-4959.

Can anyone give me advice on how to set up the following thing?
Say I want to serve HTML from this URL:
But what's really going on is that directory is a perl CGI script which gets /anotherdirectory/ as its $ENV{QUERY_STRING}.
I know I can do that using Apache rewrite rules for "if directory doesn't exist", but I could swear I've seen it done a different, simpler way, where the filename "directory" is identified as an executable perl script and there's some kind of 'accept from all' magic and somehow it Just Works.
Am I crazy?

Im trying to make an adventure where wierd stuff happend to PCs. Maybe they drink some potions that drugs them and are put in an Dungeon full of ilusions, naked. First of all they think they are full equip (but they arent). So each room must have some illusion puzzle to entrer next one but the thing is to make the players feel dizzy or that they see strange thing. Maybe give choices to divide the party. Play with thier minds.
The only thing is to remember they feel like they where in other place and can see wierd thing like animals talking or that they are flying. Or falling into a pit that isnt there.
The idea is that you post a room with size (30 x30, triangular etc), description of the room , with ilusions, puzzles or task that can be done to open other room. And everything is posible couse is an ilusion dungeon it can be funny, scarry, hopeless, ets. You can put challenges like make them fight wach other or work in small group. But the intention of this dungeon is not to kill players is just to make them feel that someone can play with thier minds and that they are not so strong as they feel. So any death of a pc it will result in lossing concience for a while and maybe loose abilitie points or skills till the adventure is finish.
Any help will be good and if it becomes a good adventure ill post it here so anyone can try it.

MATOS, A. de; ROSA, E. S. e FRANCA, F. A.. The phase distribution of upward co-current bubbly flows in a vertical square channel. J. Braz. Soc. Mech. Sci. & Eng. [online]. 2004, vol.26, n.3, pp.308-316. ISSN 1678-5878. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1678-58782004000300007.
In this work one shows experimental data and numerical results of the void fraction distribution in vertical upward air-water bubbly flows in a square cross-section channel. To measure the void fraction distribution one used a single wire conductive probe. The averaged void fraction ranged from 3.3% to 15%; the liquid and the gas superficial velocities varied from 0.9 m/s to 3.0 m/s and 0.04 m/s to 0.5 m/s, respectively. The experimental results for the void fraction distribution were compared with numerical calculation performed by an Eulerian-Eulerian implementation of the Two-Fluid Model. In this work one performs the turbulence modeling with three approaches: using an algebraic model, the k-e two-phase model and the k-e two-phase two-layer model. Comparisons between the experimental and numerical data revealed, in general, good agreement.
Palavras-chave : Vertical upward bubbly flow; phase distribution in bubbly flows; bubbly flow in square channel.

Free Music Downloads For Blackberry Phones
It is inarguable that our lifestyle has become more and more fast-paced through the years. People value efficiency in their daily lives, and it is interesting to note that technology has played a crucial role in attaining that efficiency. For one, mobile phones like the BlackBerry has kept on reinventing features to make sure that the user is given every convenience imaginable.
While this smart phone is often used by serious tycoons, it is also imperative that each phone offers an entertainment factor. In this case, users can listen to music through their phone. With this feature, people are now constantly wondering how and where they can get free music downloads for BlackBerry.
There are a number of applications out there that answer this concern. To access free music downloads for BlackBerry, a user can download a compatible program through the computer. Downloading software is quite popular nowadays, because people can exchange music through P2P or peer-to-peer sharing. What happens is that a user logged on can get music from other users, and he or she can also share his or her music with others.
Another idea is to visit a website that offers free audio files. These sites now thrive because a massive number of people visit everyday. With the right site, a user can have access to an ever-growing library of music.
The computer can then be synced to the phone, and the free music downloads for BlackBerry can now be transferred to the mobile phone. With that, a seemingly serious device becomes a tool for entertainment.
You might want to check out our list of legal free music download sites to get access to some the best free music downloads for Blackberry phones online

STRUTHERS, Ohio (WYTV) – The Crestview Rebels used an eight-run seventh inning to knock out Cardinal Mooney 10-3 to capture the Division III District Championship Wednesday night at Cene park. The Rebels will know face Doylestown Chippewa next Thursday at Washington high School at 2:00 pm.
Rebels head coach Dan Hill admitted that the Rebels had prepared for the moment by facing some tough competition throughout the regular season, "I hate to keep going back to the schedule, but outside of our league, the only team that we played with a losing record I think was John Marshall. We played Boardman. We beat Boardman. We played Weir. We played teams bigger than us to hopefully get us over this hump. We have never been in this position (before). So we needed to be a little bit battle tested."
But it was the Cardinals who looked to be headed for a district title when they took advantage of a Rebel fielding error along with two base hits to grab a 3-0 lead after one inning of play. Dom Pecchia doubled to left field to plate both Jake Fonderlin and Bryce Ritchey making it 3-0.
After that first inning, the Rebels seemed to settle down and chipped away at the Cardinals as they scored single runs in the second and sixth inning to make it 3-2 heading into the final frame.
"We didn't let the first inning dictate the way the rest of the game was going to go," Hill explained. "That was key for us tonight. My thoughts didn't change. 'Worry about what we do'. That's what we have been trying to preach. We can't control the other team, and once we got to that point we were in pretty good shape."
One big reason the Rebels were able to come storming back was the pitching of senior Jacob Crawford. Crawford would only surrender three hits over the final six frames of the game after allowing two hits in the first inning.
"I was a little intimidated by their hitting, but I just stayed behind my players and teammates and they stepped up and I just held them," Crawford said. "After the first inning, I relaxed and started hitting my spots and felt more comfortable from then on."
"He's got a really nice cutter. He cuts his fastball and it just runs away and I think sometimes we had them a little bit indecisive about where the ball was going to go," Hill added.
The Rebels flipped the fortunes of the game in the seventh inning when Mooney committed an error on the Rebels first batter Dylan Huff. Kaden Davis followed with a single and Payton Wolfe brought Huff home with a single of his own, tying the game at 3-3.
The Rebels would break the game open when Brandon Chuey hit a fly ball to left field that was dropped by the Cardinals fielder, bringing Davis around to make it 4-3 Rebels. After a sacrifice bunt by Dylan Ball, Tyler Fitzsimmons and Caleb Hill both singled to push the Rebels out to a 7-3 advantage.
Fitzsimmons would lead the Rebels in batting on the night by going three for four with a run scored and one RBI. Caleb Hill and Devin Turvey would each go two for four with Hill knocking in two runs and Turvey with one.
"I don't really care about my performance," a humble Fitzsimmons remarked. "I just care about the scoreboard and winning a district championship."
"He has been our hard-luck hitter the last three games. All in the tournament, but he didn't give up on what he is suppose to do and he hit the ball hard (tonight)," Dan Hill said.
"It's a tremendous win for our school, our community, and our program," Hill added.

However, when I use my trackpad, a slight movement would cause more mouse movement than needed. So the trackpad's kinda hard to use, you have to track your finger very slowly there...
Anyone experiences this too? Anyone knows how to fix this particular trackpad issue?

KenoAn ancient game that still retains its personality in the modern world, Keno is a lottery game within a national or state lottery. Although largely depends on luck, keno strategies can be formulated when the game is analyzed in more mathematical detail. We do it in our guide rules and strategies dedicated to Keno.
The rules of slot machinesSlot machines are undoubtedly the most popular casino game in the sense that it does not require any specific technical quality but also because playing is not expensive. We call them "rules" to the decisions you must make before playing a slot machine. First, start by choosing the one that suits you. Generally, you can choose between slot machines three or five rollers. Also note profit lines. Most players choose slot machines attractive for its cash prize. In other words, how far can you get if you just use a coin? Usually, in a slot machine you will always want to bet the maximum. This means you must know how many coins are willing to play per game. Most slot machines have a limit of five currencies: if you start a game by following this pace, you have a good chance of winning the pot. First you select the bet. If the profit lines are many, you should play them all. You should not hesitate: bet the maximum amount after entering their money in the machine. If you are in an online casino, click on "spin". If you play in a physical casino, you can pull the lever. However, many machines have a false lever to preserve the appearance of the first slot machines. Profit lines vary casinos and machines. Each casino calculates its budget and the awards that are willing to distribute to their customers. You must also know the combinations that allow you to win the pot or, better yet, the progressive jackpot. The online slot machines are very similar to those that can be found in casinos. In general, they are more generous in terms of profits, and the boats are even more frequent. Actually, it is a computer system that generates rolls, all executed at random. Once a player wins the jackpot, the computer system restarts the whole process from scratch. The boats do not depend then of the same combinations or run. Most online slot machines offer a payout percentage of 97 percent, making them extremely competitive. You know what needs to be done: keep betting and pull the lever!

Flounder Fishing on New Smyrna ICW
In a couple hours we had hooked up with 3 Nice size Flounder in the Calilussa creek area of the ICW and had lost a couple other fish that we did not get to see what they were before the stong fighters pulled off .
We were fishing with the Steel shad and it has been having some good results for us , with it catching all species of both salt and fresh water fish .
You will always want to check the tide chart and make sure you are not fishing on a slack tide (no water moving) when this occurs the fish very rarely feed , also when the inlet is at high or low tide the water is still moving in the creeks that are away from it. Check your charts (From the inlet to North Bridge you need to add 2 hours )
Good Luck
And I'll see you on the water

U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy did not mince words in a ruling issued yesterday that upheld congressional authority to delist the gray wolf in the Northern Rocky Mountains.
"If I were not constrained by what I believe is binding precedent from the Ninth Circuit, and on-point precedent from other circuits, I would hold Section 1713 is unconstitutional because it violates the Separation of Powers doctrine," Molloy said in his order. The rider had invalidated his own decision that found the Fish and Wildlife Service's partial delisting of the Northern Rocky Mountain DPS to be unlawful.
He called the rider "a tearing away, an undermining, and a disrespect for the fundamental idea of the rule of law."
Those quotes come from a Center for Biological Diversity press release issued late yesterday after Molloy issued his verdict.
Here's another: The rider "sacrifices the spirit of the ESA to appease a vocal political faction, but the wisdom of that choice is not now before this Court."
More excerpts on the way...
Order from CBD page
Molloy issued a 35-page order the same day after his ruling on the constitutional issue. In it, he (1) found that Defenders of Wildlife, et al.'s ESA claims over the delisting were unripe, and (2) ruled against the plaintiffs on their NEPA claims (Defenders of Wildlife v. Hall, 08-14-M-DWM, D. Mont.)
Because of the congressional action allowing the delisting of wolves in Idaho and Montana, Molloy said "[t]he only remaining wolves who might potentially be affected by the challenged 2008 10(j) rule are in three or four packs located on Wyoming's Wind River Indian Reservation. Accordingly, the analysis of the Federal Defendants' jurisdictional challenges must be confined to the effects of 2008 10(j) rule as applies to management of the wolf populations on the Wind River Indian Reservation."
Missoulian coverage (by Rob Chaney). CBD Executive Director Kieran Suckling tells Chaney, "If you have to lose a court case, this is about the best possible way to do it. He lays out the pathway for environmentalists to appeal the decision to the Ninth Circuit and have it overturned."
AP story, which modifies CBD's headline slightly: "Judge reluctantly upholds law stripping Northern Rockies wolves of endangered species status," instead of "Court reluctantly denies challenge to congressional rider that stripped wolves of protection "
New West's take links to a story in the Lewiston Tribune that quotes Suckling saying, ""I've never seen anything like it [Molloy's ruling]. He is not only intimating the wolf rider is unconstitutional and the 9th Circuit is wrong but he is laying out a road map on how to appeal his own ruling and take it all the way to the Supreme Court."
Legal Planet analysis of the ruling and what might happen down the road (by Holly Doremus, UC-Berkeley)
Section 1713 is in this spending bill: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-112hr1473enr/pdf/BILLS-112hr1473enr.pdf Here is the language:, which essentially turns back the clock to a time when Molloy's invalidation of the partial delisting had not taken place:
Before the end of the 60-day period beginning on the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Interior shall reissue the final rule published on April 2, 2009 (74 Fed. Reg. 15123 et seq.) without regard to any other provision of statute or regulation that applies to issuance of such rule. Such reissuance (including this section) shall not be subject to judicial review and shall not abrogate or otherwise have any effect on the order and judgment issued by the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming in Case Numbers 09–CV–118J and 09–CV–138J on November 18, 2010.

Entertainment Card 11/12: Complimentary main course when another is purchased (up to a value of $40)
The Bryneleigh is located on Hampden Road in Nedlands, a bar and restaurant in one. I'd heard of this restaurant from a fellow food blogger and also great reviews of their high tea from the Spreets deal, so decided to celebrate my mummy's birthday here.
It was quite empty when we arrive due to an early booking for dinner one Sunday evening. There were only a couple of tables still occupied, remnants from the high tea session earlier. Strangely quiet, with only the muffled sounds in the background of tables and chairs being shuffled, we sat down and observed the surroundings – and I liked what I saw. A rack of pot plants surrounded our table, and themed with the wooden decor, made me feel like I'm dining underneath a canopy of trees (well, almost!).
We quickly went through the menu as we were famished and had the following:
For entree:
- The Byrneleigh Experience (a selection of grazing) – $35
- Lemon, white pepper baby squid with smoked pepper aioli – $12
The Byrneleigh Experience is a selection of different entrees on the menu including the rosemary & garlic charred turkish bread, local marinated olive & feta, butternut pumpkin & persian feta arancini, lemon & white pepper squid, baby chorizo and lamb kofta. I liked this dish as I'm always one who like to try a bit of everything so this was perfect for me. My two favourites were the arancini and chorizo – gotta love the sausage!
We had initially ordered the empanadas to complement the Byrneleigh Experience but they ran out of them so we substituted it with the Lemon, white pepper baby squid. The squid wasn't too exciting as I love them crunchy and this wasn't. It was actually slightly soggy even…eeks!
For mains we had the following:
- Herb chicken, chicory & walnut salad, crisp pancetta, light lemon mayo & garlic croutes – $25
- Crispy salmon, nicoise poached egg, green beans & slow roasted tomato & olive – $35
- Wagyu beef sliders, house made pickles, cheddar, tomato & date chutney – $24
- Confit duck, speck bacon, endive, crispy potato & bordelaise jus – $34
I ordered the Crispy Salmon with egg, green beans – it came out looking good, but the salmon turned out quite dry, which was quite disappointing. The beans mix was good though. For the small taste I had of the other dishes, I didn't think too much of the Herb Chicken Salad (can't taste the herb in the chicken?) or the Wagyu Beef Sliders (too dry as well!). The Confit Duck fared better, I think it was the better dish of the night. Much juicier meat and satisfactory to the tastebuds. I should have ordered that instead!
For dessert/drinks:
- Apple & pear crumble with vanilla semifreddo, baby pear – $13
- Coconut panna cotta, pineapple chilli compote & kaffir lime syrup – $13
- Affogato
- Cranberry juice
The desserts were the best part of the night – as usual! Maybe from now on, I should just skip the rest of the meal and head straight to dessert! :p Loved both the Apple & Pear Crumble and Coconut Panna Cotta. The Apple & Pear Crumble tasted fresh and being slightly warmed went very well with the ice cream. The Coconut Panna Cotta was quite refreshing too and was accompanied by the most unusual pineapple chilli compote (quite nice to try something different!). I like! The affogato was great too – coffee + ice cream is always a plus. Actually I ordered a vienna initially but they didn't have it, the affogato was a good substitute.
Overall, it was still a great meal for me. Although my main was below par, the entree and dessert compensated for it. Service was great, the staff was friendly and attentive. The menu can be considered simple, nothing too fancy.

One of the best things about summer is being able to switch from wearing loads of layers to much lighter looks. Our favorite summer style pick? Dresses!
Easy to wear and perfect for hotter weather, dresses make getting ready a snap. We're rounding up 30 of our current go-to dresses of the season.
There's no better color to sport when you're welcoming summer than sunny yellow, which is why we can't get enough of this form-fitting dress with chevrons of crochet trim (modcloth.com, $118). Wear this bold cotton blend piece with plum or pink accessories for an added pop of summer color.
If you're heading to any music festivals this summer, we suggest creating a cute look around this airy, bohemian-inspired dress patterned with paisley and floral (shopbop.com, $128). Grab a beaded bag, a floppy hat and some silver bangles to complete the look.
We had an instant color crush on this bold reddish coral silk dress with multiple straps at the top (topshop.com, $260). Ideal for a summer wedding or evening cocktails with a date or your friends, we love the bold hue and flattering fit.
Turn heads at your next summer BBQ or patio party when you arrive wearing this pastel yellow dress with crochet detailing at the neckline (nastygal.com, $58). Continue with the '70s vibe by adding a pair of sky-high platform sandals.
Whether you're heading to a baseball game or out for a smoothie after your morning workout, this bold and sporty color block sundress with three cute cut outs (roxy.com, $50) is an ideal outfit choice. Add some neutral flats and a straw hat to round out the laid-back look.
Gingham is another one of those perfect summer prints and we love it on this cute dress that seems made for a picnic in the park (yoox.com, $98). Add some bold red accessories to really make the piece pop.
This floral print sundress with a v-neck and drawstring waist would make a pretty post-swim cover-up for the beach or the pool, or would work equally well at the cottage or on a weekend road trip (quiksilver.com, $65).
Leave it to Betsey Johnson to create a sundress that just screams summer fun. We can't wait to step out in this mixed media dress with a black and white printed top and a pleated A-line skirt (betseyjohnson.com, $108).
If you still haven't found a piece in this year's "it" hue, we suggest starting your collection of emerald green items with this eye-catching dress with butterfly sleeves and a sash at the waist (modcloth.com, $60)
Every dress collection needs a universally flattering wrap dress, and for summer we like this floral print piece with a loose fit and an ethereal feel perfect for hot days (revolveclothing.com, $275). Add some flat strappy sandals to complete the beach-day look.
Spice up your summer wardrobe with this bright printed dress with a sexy low cross back (victoriassecret.com, $70). The boat neck adds elegance while the bold print keeps things fun for summer.
Think black is only for colder months? Think again. The classic LBD gets a summer update with this body-hugging scoop neck mini (shopbop.com, $86). Add a bold skinny belt and a statement necklace to give the piece a bit more color.
The print that just doesn't seem to want to fade in popularity where style or decor are concerned looks fresh and fun on this structured short sleeve dress with a full skirt (madewell.com, $138). Pointed toe ankle strap heels or black strappy sandals would be a good addition to the look.
Shirt dresses can easily be dressed up or down (add heels and a cardigan for the office, strappy sandals for a more casual look), and this one comes in three shades — black, purple and orange (macys.com $130). We're partial to the purple, but all three work well depending on where you're going to wear it.
Add a punch of summer-ready color to your closet with this bright orange lace-up safari style dress (bananarepublic.com, $130). Wear this vibrant piece with black or metallic accessories for an elegant daytime look.
Cover up by the pool or the beach in style with a cinch waist maxi tank dress with navy and turquoise stripes (oldnavy.com, $25). Comfortable and colorful, this easy-wearing dress will easily become a summer staple.
Summer is all about feeling pretty and you're sure to get a confidence boost when you slip into London Time's pretty pink scoop neck sleeveless dress with eye-catching eyelet detailing on the skirt. Add some embellished flats if you're going for a more casual look or a pair of strappy heels for a more polished outfit.

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is seeking volunteers in Choctaw County – walkers, cancer survivors, caregivers, community leaders, anyone wanting to make a difference – to organize and recruit fundraising teams, garner community support, coordinate logistics, seek refreshments and prizes, plan entertainment and lend a hand to ensure the success of the 2013 event. The first volunteer committee meeting will be held on January 24 at Ackerman Church of Christ at 460 Seward Street, Ackerman. The meeting will begin the planning process for the community's Relay For Life event, which supports the American Cancer Society's mission of saving lives by helping people stay well, by helping people get well, by finding cures and by fighting back against the disease.
Relay For Life events are held overnight as individuals and teams camp out at an athletic track, park or other gathering area, with the goal of keeping at least one team member on the track or pathway at all times throughout the evening.
Choctaw County's event is slated for July or early August from 5 p.m.-10 p.m. at the new Pioneer Community Hospital of Choctaw at the intersections of Highways 9 and 12 in Ackerman.
Teams do most of their fundraising prior to the event, but some teams also hold creative fundraisers at their camp sites during Relay. Relay brings together friends, families, businesses, hospitals, schools, faith-based groups . . . people from all walks of life – all aimed at celebrating the lives of those who have had cancer, remembering those lost, and fighting back against the disease.
"Relay For Life is all about our community uniting with the American Cancer Society and supporting its efforts to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays," said Christin Waters, American Cancer Society Staff Partner. "Volunteers and participants who are willing to give their time and energy to this exciting event are making a commitment to let Choctaw County community members know that cancer can be defeated."
If you would like to join the Relay For Life of Choctaw County as a volunteer or team participant, call the American Cancer Society at 662.285.7860, or visit RelayForLife.org.

"Never let a good crisis go to waste" – so said former Obama Chief of Staff, and now mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel.
And so it goes once again, that as bodies were being recovered from the horrific Amtrak crash, members of the Democrat Party were using the incident for their political gain with yet another false narrative. You just have to ask if there's anyone left on that side of the aisle who possesses a modicum of honor or any aspect of character.
They've abandoned Americans to die in Benghazi and lied. The former Senate Majority Leader takes to the Senate floor and lies and defiantly exhibits no regard or respect for truth. While the president has incessantly lied, they've stood by him. And they are now willing to support a candidate for president who is displaying the highest degree of the "arrogance of officialdom" in refusing to disclose the property of the American people — her emails.
Now, in order to continue their wasteful spending, the liberal progressives of the Democrat Party are blaming the Amtrak accident on a lack of funding, even though we already know the accident was caused by excessive speed – 106 mph, when the speed was supposed to be 50 mph. What ever happened to the $1 trillion in stimulus funding that was supposed to go towards infrastructure repair? Well, as President Obama stated, "shovel-ready wasn't ready."
There is no shame, as the lies being spun are entangling the Democrats.
As Fox6Now reports, "President Barack Obama on Thursday called for greater federal spending on infrastructure in the wake of the deadly Amtrak crash that killed eight people. Obama's comments, in which he also offered his condolences to the victim's families, came amid scrutiny over whether enough was being done to ensure safety on the publically funded rail service. "Until we know for certain what caused this tragedy, I just want to reiterate what I have already said: That we are a growing country, with a growing economy," Obama said at a Camp David press conference. "We need to invest in the infrastructure that keeps up that way and not just when something bad happens like a bridge collapse or a train derailment but all the time. That's what great nations do."
Earlier Thursday, a House Republican appropriations committee aide said technology that the National Transportation Safety Board and some Democrats say could have prevented the Amtrak crash was in place on the stretch of track in Philadelphia where the deadly derailment occurred. But the safety system, known as Positive Train Control (PTC), hadn't been activated due to technical issues."
First of all Mr. President, we all know for certain what caused the tragedy: excessive speed by the operating engineer. Secondly Mr. President, the American taxpayers gave up one trillion dollars to you in 2009, so what is the rate of return on the "investment" that was made for infrastructure repair?
And I think I should remind President Obama of a simple fact: government does not invest a doggone thing; it spends the money of the American taxpayer. Individual Americans invest and if they had more of their resources to do so we would truly have a "growing economy" and not an artificial economy based on the whims of Janet Yellin and the Federal Reserve's horrific monetary policy. Lastly, the technology was in place, right there where the accident occurred. The real question is, why is the inefficient government trying to run a railroad?
And for those who want to "blame" fiscally responsible Republicans here is another factoid reported: "On Wednesday — less than 24 hours after the New York-bound train crashed — the Republican-led House Appropriations Committee voted to reduce grants to Amtrak by $252 million, a drop of about 15% from last year's level, though the cut would apply only to Amtrak's capital spending and wouldn't touch funding levels for safety and operations.
I've ridden Amtrak on many occasions particularly the ACELA between Washington DC and New York City, and just have to ask, where does all the money go from those overpriced food concessions?
Perhaps the big government progressive socialists should stop and ask who failed to turn on the PTC system. The Fox report seems to answer that question: "Amtrak told the committee that PTC was installed in the section of track where the accident occurred, but it had not been activated due to technical issues with the Federal Communications Commission, including getting enough bandwidth to upgrade radios, said the House Republican appropriations committee aide, who requested anonymity because the crash remains under federal."
The real question here is whether or not the liberal progressive media will be complicit in yet another line of lying by members of the Democrat Party? Will the media once again be an ally in the promulgation of a false narrative? Will the left wing media play politics with the lives of Americans tragically lost all for partisan gain? Can the liberal media, with all this evidence, tell the truth and call out the Democrats for lacking decency and conducting themselves in the most heinous and despicable manner? I ain't holding my breath.
And based on a reporter's question to House Speaker John Boehner, asking if there was a link between Amtrak funding and Tuesday's deadly crash, that question has been answered.
Just as in Baltimore, the Democrats need only look to themselves for the failures of the PTC system implementation. "Republicans on Thursday also pointed to a 2012 report from Amtrak's Office of Inspector General that said implementation of the PTC technology has been hampered by other factors, including permitting for radio towers necessary for the PTC system due to factors like environmental regulations and rules about historic preservation."
If anything, the Democrats owe an apology to the families of those who lost their loved ones in this tragic accident. Then again, I'm not holding my breath for that either as members of the Democrat Party know there is a duplicitous hypocrisy and double standard, and their abhorrent behavior has no consequences.

Have you ever wondered what was in Little Jack Horner's Christmas pie? I decided to search for Little Jack Horner's Christmas pie and find out. What a found was the background story behind the Little Jack Horner. It turns out Jack's real name was Tom Horner. According to some Tom was sent to London by an abbot with a pie filled with the deeds to several properties to give to Henry VIII. On his way to London Tom snuck a plum property out of the pie for himself. Others say he paid for the land manor himself and the legend is untrue. If you want to learn more about nursery rhymes Pop Goes the Weasel: The Secret Meanings of Nursery Rhymes is a good book to explore.
Little Jack Horner's Plum Pie Craft
Let me walk you through the directions on how to make a Little Jack Horner's paper plate craft. If you come up with different ways you want to do each step with your children, please let me know what you end up doing. You can post a picture of your pie on my Facebook page or tag me on Instagram.
- Paper Plate
- Brown Construction Paper
- Purple Construction Paper
- Brown Lunch Sack
- Scissors
- Glue
Getting the Paper Parts Cut Out
You will need to start by tracing the hand of your child or having them trace their own hand. Then cut the hand out.
Next, you or your children will need to trace 12 circles onto the purple paper. If you have a plastic egg handy, your children can use half of it to trace the circles.
The brown construction paper will then need to be cut into strips or really long rectangles. Strips that are about 2 inches wide are great!
Putting the Pie Together
Now that everything has been cut out it is time to put Little Jack Horner's pie together. The purple circles will need to be glued down first. Set one of the circles aside to use later.
Then the brown strips will be glued vertically and then horizontally across the plate. They will give the pie a criss-cross design.
Finally, the hand will need to glued near the edge of the plate. Your children then will glue the circle that was set aside to the thumb. It will represent the plum that was pulled out of the pie.
