Sony Ericsson runs Champions League campaign on Foursquare
By Sarah Shearman, campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 27 May 2011 11:30AM
Sony Ericsson has launched a Foursquare campaign as part of its Uefa Champions League sponsorship, which gives one football fan the chance to win a range of football prizes including tickets to watch the final at Wembley tomorrow (28 May).
The campaign, created by Iris, consists of two Foursquare competitions to drive up excitement ahead of the Champions League final tomorrow.
Sony Ericsson has created 11 limited edition shirts and placed them in locations across London which will be revealed on Facebook and Twitter throughout today.
The first person to reach the location and check in via Foursquare will receive a prize, which includes Sony Ericsson handsets, official Uefa merchandise, one pair of Barcelona tickets for the group stages for next year, and a pair of tickets to the final tomorrow.
The 'Xperia Footy Final Badge' game enters fans who check in at Manchester United's Old Trafford Stadium today into a prize draw to win tickets to the Uefa Super Cup in Monaco later this year.
Sony Ericsson began sponsoring the Uefa Champions League in 2005. Yesterday (27 May) Heineken renewed its multi-million pound sponsorship of the league to 2015.

HERMOSA BEACH, Calif. (KTLA) -- Police say a man who needed money to pay his rent scammed drivers in Hermosa Beach by posing as a parking attendant and collecting fees.
Alexei Maine Flemming, of Redondo Beach, admitted to posing as a parking official at a lot on 13th Street and Hermosa Avenue.
The 21-year-old was arrested Tuesday night near the corner of Pier and Hermosa avenues.
Police say he had a two-way radio, a receipt book and a sign that said the parking meters were not working.
The sign read: "This system is currently out of order. As an apology unlimited parking is only $3 for all day today. Thank you."
Anyone who may have paid the phony parking fee is asked to contact Hermosa Beach police at (310) 318-034.

SMALL MAMMALS IN TALLGRASS PRAIRIE
AT KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY FOR FALL 2005
Please note: application deadline of 15 January 2005
We expect to have one, possibly two, graduate assistantships for highly motivated PhD students to pursue research focused on the ecology of small mammals beginning in autumn 2005. The successful student(s) will be expected to participate in ongoing long-term research directed at documenting patterns and causes of temporal variation in abundance of small mammals on the Konza Prairie. Therefore, the student(s) must have considerable field experience with small mammals (identification, sampling with live traps and handling and marking). The student(s) also will be expected to develop doctoral research focused on population, community, and/or behavioral ecology of rodents or shrews in tallgrass prairie. Some opportunities exist for doctoral research projects to deal with questions concerning patterns of abundance and distribution of rodents or shrews across the environmental gradient of tallgrass to mixed-grass to shortgrass prairie in the central Great Plains. The student(s) will have access to long-term data (1981 to present) on small mammals in burned and unburned prairie to facilitate his/her research. Regardless of the specific doctoral project chosen by a student, the project must be designed to aid in the interpretation of the differential influences of fire, grazing (bison), weather, and geomorphology on abundance and distribution of small mammals in the dissected landscapes of Flint Hills tallgrass prairie. We also expect such research to apply to small mammals in other native and planted grassland systems.
All students accepted into a graduate program in the Division of Biology at Kansas State University are provided with 12 months of support. Whether support comes from a graduate teaching assistantship or a graduate research assistantship, the present support level (stipend plus tuition) is $20,184. Additionally, all graduate students in Biology contribute to teaching needs of the Division regardless of the specific source of their support. The end result is that all students must contribute to classroom instruction for 6-8 hours per week during the 15 weeks of each fall and spring semester, but all students have full stipend support and no teaching commitments during the summer.
Interested students should contact Dr. Donald W. Kaufman ( email@example.com ) or Dr. Glennis A. Kaufman ( firstname.lastname@example.org ) and provide a short biography that outlines general qualifications (including transcript), GPA, and GRE scores. Qualified students interested in our PhD-level assistantship(s) also will need to apply directly to the Division of Biology (deadline is 15 January 2005). Application materials and general information on Kansas State University and the Division of Biology are available at http://www.ksu.edu/biology .

M.S. and Ph.D. opportunities
The Department of Zoology at Miami University has assistantships available for graduate students for Fall 2005 (M.S. and Ph.D.) in mammalian behavior and ecology. I are looking for students who are interested in factors that influence sociality and mating patterns in small mammals. I would prefer students with previous field or research experience. The ability to use molecular techniques to access parentage and relatedness is helpful but not critical for this project. Funding exists for students to begin their research in summer 2005. Field research will take place in populations of prairie voles in Illinois and Kansas.
The zoology department at Miami University contains about 35 faculty and approximately half of these have interests in some aspect of ecology, evolution and behavior.

Aston Villa will be desperately hoping to get their second win of the season against Brentford tonight after a run of four matches without one.
But while Villa have been struggling for form, the Bees are coming into the match following a fantastic 2-0 win at Brighton over the weekend.
Given Villa's spending power and the players that they have been able to acquire during the summer, the favourites tag will be hanging over them this evening.
But will they be able to handle the heat? Here's what the bookmakers think...
Villa's Mile Jedinak will be fit to start after being limited to the bench against Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
But felllow new boys Albert Adomah and Aaron Tshibola are expected to remain on the sidelines.
Brentford will have talismanic striker Lasse Vibe back from suspension. The striker missed the win over Brighton at the weekend and will probably have to settle for a place on the bench tonight.
Villa: Kodjia 4/1, McCormack 4/1, Gestede 9/2
Brentford: Hogan 8/1, Hofmann 9/1, Vibe 10/1
Jonathan Kodjia will be looking to get off the mark in claret and blue this evening. You can get him to score two or more goals at 5/1 with Paddy Power.
Kodjia scored his first goal for former club Bristol City in a home match with Brentford last season.

On Tuesday, August 6, my office at 28 Clinton Street, in Saratoga Springs, was transformed into a mini-movie studio or so it seemed.
There were lights, chairs, and cameras but no makeup.
This office transformation was the work of Jon Dorflinger, the Founder and CEO of The Saratoga Film Academy.
He and his team are working with Saratoga PLAN to capture stories and commentary to produce a video that will bring to life the organization’s Southern Palmertown Range strategy.
The Southern Palmertown area stretches from Moreau Lake State Park, in the north, to Saratoga Springs, in the south, and from Route 9 in the east to Route 9N in the west, including properties in Corinth and Greenfield.
One of Saratoga PLAN’s goals for this area is to eventually create a trail network that will run the length of the conservation area, crossing some of the wildest and most natural terrain in Saratoga County.
So Jon and his crew were in my office to ask me a series of questions about how building trails and protecting open space might be an engine for economic growth.
Here’s what I shared with them:
Several years ago, Saratoga PLAN reached out to the Chamber for help mapping the hundreds of miles of trails already in-use across Saratoga County.
The long range goal was to create an integrated network of trails across Saratoga County and beyond. This type of trail system could be a key piece of our economic strategy as trails can be used by residents, visitors and tourists.
Now I’m not a cyclist but I do like to run. While traveling, I’ve been able to run on trails in Oklahoma City, Long Beach, Charlestown, Cincinnati, and Chicago just to name a few.
In every case, these trail systems were clearly designed to be scenic. Those using these trails get to see significant landmarks, historic sites, public art, and to explore that city.
These trails are also regularly connected with efforts to preserve open space along a shoreline or within a forest or significant conservation area.
I’ve noticed on these runs that I’m not alone. There are others on bikes, roller blades, scooters and skateboards. There are others walking by themselves, with families, with strollers, and with pets. There is a certain vibrancy that you feel on these trails especially as you connect with those going in the opposite direction.
The trails often take you in and out of areas where there is economic activity and businesses thriving because people can get there by bike and foot not just a car.
There are lots of things businesses near trails can do as well to attract those using the trails to their stores, restaurants and lodging facilities, in particular.
This is why the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce has often partnered with Saratoga PLAN. It's why were excited by the potential of their Southern Palmertown Range strategy.
And someday hopefully, I’ll be able to take a run across some of the wildest and most natural terrain in Saratoga County and write about it too.

PrayersWednesday June 14, 2023 Get Tickets
TimeDoors open: 7:00 pm Advanced: $35 All Ages
PRAYERS (defined as a solemn request for help or expression of thanks addressed to God or an object of worship) is Leafar Seyer. The Mexican-born, San Diego-raised artist combines the frosty abrasiveness of acts such as Skinny Puppy and Christian Death with the more accessible sounds of Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys. Seyer’s lyrics, based in his own life, layer his authentic urban experience onto goth music: Cholo Goth.
Seyer’s first independently released albums, SD Killwave and Gothic Summer garnered Seyer awards for Best Music Video and Best Music Video Editing at the San Diego Film Festival in 2015 and Best Alternative Band at the 2015 San Diego Music Awards.
Seyer’s uncompromising vision drew the attention of The Cult’s Ian Astbury and celebrity drummer Travis Barker. Astbury added Seyer to The Cult’s 2015 tour. Barker produced Seyer’s third album, Young Gods, featuring Travis Barker, Skinhead Rob, DJ Klever, and Dave Parley.
Seyer’s musical universe expanded further with two BMG-released albums. Baptism of Thieves featured Ray Brady, Christian Death, Dave Parley, and Kat Von D joining Seyer; and the Christian Death collaboration, Cursed Be Thy Blessing, accompanied by the documentary, Beyond and Back.
Cholo Goth, produced by Ray Brady was released 2/2/22. Featuring Seyer’s solo work as well as collaborations with Ray Brady, Annie Hardy, and Robert Harvey, Cholo Goth continues Seyer’s musical and lyrical self-exploration as an outcast trapped between worlds. Cholo Goth debuted at #1 on the electronic charts.
In 2022, following the release of Cholo Goth and alongside numerous US sellout performances, Seyer’s ventured into Mexico for the first time as a solo artist, after resolving longstanding legal and immigration troubles, and went on to sell out shows across the country without support.
2023 promises to be the year of Cholo Goth and Seyer’s most exciting year yet, with numerous performances across the world and new releases on the way.


Virginia Senator Tim Kaine is among the most prominent Democratic supporters of the Corker-Menendez bill on Iran. He may be one of the most important players in determining whether it passes and what it ultimately looks like — which in turn could help influence whether a final Iran deal is reached and goes forward.
Critics fear Corker-Menendez could prematurely scuttle the whole negotiation process. The bill would suspend for 65 days President Obama’s authority to temporarily lift sanctions, pending a Congressional vote to approve or disapprove the final deal, and would require the president to certify Iranian compliance on several fronts, including whether Iran has directly supported an act of terrorism against Americans or American interests. Critics say this latter provision risks killing a deal later by introducing an element unrelated to Iran’s nuclear program.
Some Senate Dems will push amendments to change or eliminate the terrorism provision during the bill’s mark-up next week, but it’s unclear whether Republicans will acccept them. Critics also say a vote on the bill now could persuade Iranians that Congress will not allow the president to deliver on our end of the bargain later, perhaps upending sensitive negotiations.
I asked Kaine to respond to all of the criticisms. A lightly edited and condensed version of our conversation follows.

The research of Composites and Materials Mechanics is particularly relevant for the development of blades for very large offshore wind turbines where weight savings are of great importance.
The section focuses on development of new fiber composite materials and on increasing the knowledge and description of existing composite materials, particularly with respect to strength, fatigue, durability and damage tolerant behavior. The field includes manufacturing and processing, characterisation of microstructures, modelling of materials, and characterisation of mechanical properties, non-destructive evaluation and structural health monitoring.
Key research areas are new composite materials (e.g. biomassbased composites and hybrid composites), process technology, compression, fatigue and fracture, adhesive joints, micromechanical testing with in-situ observations (utilising the electron microscope expertise of the Materials Science and Characterisation Section), micromechanical modelling as well as the development of new advanced mechanical testing methods and structural health monitoring.
The research is applicable for the lifetime of a wind turbine rotor blade, from development of concept, design, manufacturing, quality control, operation and maintenance to decomission.
The section has a laboratory for the manufacturing of fibre composites (materials, test specimens, prototypes) and a DANAK accredited laboratory for mechanical characterisation. The reorganisation is expected to lead to new research projects in the area of connecting macroscale and structural scale modelling and testing. Another new possible area for expansion is the manufacturing of prototype wind turbine blades (e.g. smart blades incorporating shapechanging composite structures and embedded sensors) in close collaboration with the sections Wind Turbines and Aeroelastic Design.
Thus, the section contributes to the focus area “Light and Strong Materials” and provides knowhow to other focus areas such as structural design and safety and aeroelastic design.

Libingan ng mga Bayani may be resting place for fallen frontliners -Palace
Health workers who died fighting the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, Malacañang said Thursday.
Presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo cited the regulation issued by the Armed Forces of the Philippines, a portion of which stated that “other deceased persons whose interment or re-interment has been approved by the commander-in-chief, Congress, or the Secretary of National Defense” are qualified to be interred at the reputable gravesite in Taguig City.
“In addition, since the listing of those who may be interred in the LNMB was only made through an AFP Guideline, then the same may be amended through a mere executive issuance, to include the said frontliners,” said Panelo, who is also President Rodrigo Duterte’s chief legal counsel.
The Palace official gave the statement after Ako Bicol party-list Representative Alfredo Garbin Jr. pushed for the interment of fallen medical frontliners at the LNMB.
At least 21 doctors in the country have died due to COVID-19, according to data from the Private Hospitals Association of the Philippines.
The Bayanihan to Heal as One Act (Republic Act 11469) directed the President to provide compensation of P100,000 to public and private health workers who may contract severe COVID-19 infection while in the line of duty.
A P1-million compensation will be given to health workers who died while fighting the viral outbreak.
The Philippines has so far reported 4,076 COVID-19 cases with 203 deaths and 124 recoveries. –NB,GMA News

NHL.com has chosen Panthers coach Kevin Dineen as the frontrunner for the Jack Adams Award for coach of the year.
First-year coach Kevin Dineen has the Panthers still in the top spot in the Southeast Division
The first-year coach was our choice at the quarter-point and remains there at the halfway point as his Panthers still hold the top spot in the Southeast Division while sitting third in the Eastern Conference despite going 4-4-2 over their past 10 games. Dineen was hired in the offseason for one reason — to help lead the team to its first Stanley Cup Playoff berth since 2000; so far, so good. If it happens, there isn’t any question he’d be considered the favorite to win the Jack Adams.

|Insertion||Medial surface of superior tibia|
Extends the hip
Medially rotates the tibia when knee is flexed
|Nerve||Sciatic (tibial, L5, S1, S2)|
|Artery||Inferior gluteal artery|
Location & Overview
The semitendinosus muscle is one of the three muscles that make up the hamstring muscle group. The other two hamstring muscle are: the semimembranosus and biceps femoris muscles. The semitendinosus is the most centrally located hamstring muscle. It is located in the posterior compartment of the thigh, between the biceps femoris and semimembranosus. The semitendinosus muscle is more superficial than the semimembranosus (meaning it is located closer to the skin’s surface) and the semitendinosus covers up a large portion of the semimembranosus. The semitendinosus’ attachments are relatively close to those of the semimembranosus, which shows their close anatomical relationship .
Origin & Insertion
The semitendinosus originates at the superior portion of the ischial tuberosity. The ischial tuberosity is bony protrusion located on the posterior aspect of the ischium, which is the lower part of the hip bone. This origin point is shared with the other two hamstring muscles (semimembranosus and semitendinosus)  .
The muscle then works its way down the posterior and medial portion of the thigh, where it then inserts below the knee joint, on the medial surface of the superior part of the tibia. This insertion is part of the group of tendons called the ‘pes anserinus’ which insert in this region. This insertion is part of the group of tendons known as the ‘pes anserinus,’ which includes the tendons of the semitendinosus, sartorius, and gracilis muscles  .
Actions & Function
The semitendinosus muscle plays a role in several movements at the hip and knee joints. Its primary functions include flexing the knee joint, extending the hip joint, and medially rotating the tibia on the femur when the knee is flexed  .
Flexion of the knee joint involves bending the knee, which brings the lower leg closer to the back of the thigh. Extension of the hip joint involves moving the thigh backward relative to the hip, such as when pushing off the ground when walking  .
Furthermore, the semitendinosus muscle assists in medially (internally) rotating the tibia on the femur when the knee is flexed. This action involves turning the lower leg (tibia) inward relative to the thigh, but without moving the thigh itself  .
The semitendinosus muscle receives its innervation from the tibial division of the sciatic nerve, which comes from nerve roots L5, S1, and S2 . The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body and provides motor and sensory functions to the lower limbs .
The tibial division of the sciatic nerve supplies the motor signals necessary for the semitendinosus muscle to perform its actions, such as flexing the knee, extending the hip, and medially rotating the tibia on the femur when the knee is flexed . In addition, the sciatic nerve also carries sensory information from the skin and deeper structures of the lower limb, enabling for the perception of touch, pain, and temperature .
Blood supply to the semitendinosus muscle is provided primarily by the inferior gluteal artery and the perforating arteries. The inferior gluteal artery is a branch of the internal iliac artery, which supplies blood to the gluteal region and the posterior thigh muscles, including the hamstring muscles. The perforating arteries are branches of the deep femoral artery (profunda femoris) and perforate the adductor magnus muscle to supply blood to the posterior compartment of the thigh .

You won’t have any issues with Grinding, and there’s also a high demand for Berserkers in Node Wars. I mean Tamer, is always accompanied by her trusty evil-dog-pet-thing “Heilang”, which she can directly control and stun her enemies, or even use it as a mount instead of a horse! Musa can cut down enemies at high speed using his double-sword technique. There are swordsman, archers, wizards and more. Main Weapon: Shortsword (same with Tamer & Ninja) – Melee As you would expect, her defenses are very low, so she relies on smart positioning, dodging, and patience. Resource: WP Main Weapon: Longsword (same with Valkyrie) – Melee Her combos are fluent, and both weapons will have you feel like you’re dancing with your enemies! What she lacks in PvE and grinding speed, she definitely makes up for in 1v1 situations, so PvP enthusiasts will definitely get more out of her. Her main weapon revolves around strong, focused hits, while her awakening will let you destroy anything that blocks your path – from afar! Musa uses a Blade as Main Weapon and Horn Bow as sub-weapon. Ninja is a high-skill / high-reward class, like his female counterpart Kunoichi. ANNOUNCEMENTS [Black Desert Online PC X Mobile X Console] Calphe:ON Ball Delay Notice 1606471200 UPDATES Pearl Shop Update: Black Friday On Now! Archer is a pretty Legolas boi, who’s arguably more satisfying to play than Ranger, since the skill-cap is lower, and the range bigger! Awakening Weapon: Godr Sphera – Ranged. The Sorceress uses Amulet as the Main Weapon and Talisman as the sub-weapon. She can participate in combat and has buff abilities. Grinding with Archer is a breeze, and with smart positioning, you can undertake higher tier areas without many drawbacks. 333 6,564. Class Release Date: March 3, 2016 (since launch) While I am not very sure of the exact translation, here are the names which I can make out vaguely. To wake up you need to complete several quests. There’s probably no other BDO class that will require so much kiting, so if this is your preferred playstyle – you’ll have a ton of fun with Ranger! 3. Wizard uses Staff as Main Weapon, and Dagger as sub-weapon. He can target more than one enemies in the close range, and his set of attacks are next to impossible to block. This class is ideal to get a mix of attack and defense combat playstyle, because of sword and shield you can attack as well as guard yourself from incoming damage. Thus, there wasnt a day that went by without training, as they awaited to return to Kamasylvia as the rightful guardians. Main Weapon: Shortsword (same with Kunoichi & Ninja) – Melee It comes with 12 different types of pubic hair to match your own taste. Awakening Weapon: Kamasylven Sword – Melee. Main Weapon: Kriegsmesser (exclusive) – Melee Your burst damage will be more than enough to finish them off, unless you get “caught in the act” due to your long animations. Both her main and awakening weapons focus on close-quarters combat, but she does have a lot of ways to initiate a fight from afar – usually resulting in a beneficial positioning for Lahn. Berserker uses Iron Buster as Awakening weapon, powerful ruthless weapons releasing explosive projectiles can destroy nearby and enemies in range. Resource: MP She’s very fun to play, and employs quite balanced mechanics, making her a great long-term investment. He is very strong in hand-to-hand combat and is a master of martial art. Class: Dark Knight | Outfit: Arethel | Weapon: Kibelius, Class Release Date: March 1, 2017 In Node Wars you will have a flanking position though, so knowing how to play around the enemy classes will be crucial to your success.

The future of wireless networking is looking bright with the upcoming release of Wi-Fi 7. This latest iteration in the Wi-Fi series boasts impressive advancements, including significant bandwidth and latency improvements, making it nearly five times faster than Wi-Fi 6. The Wi-Fi Alliance has planned several other notable improvements, including the utilization of the 6 GHz band, lower latency, and increased reliability.
Wi-Fi 7 is based on the draft 802.11be standard published in May 2021 and is currently in development. Its potential for lightning-fast speeds is one of its most significant features, capable of supporting bandwidth up to 46 gigabits per second (Gbps) per access point, which is nearly five times faster than the maximum speed of Wi-Fi 6.
In addition to its theoretical potential for lightning-fast speeds, Wi-Fi 7 promises to provide better connectivity, reduced latency, and increased reliability, offering a significant upgrade to Wi-Fi 6 and previous iterations of the Wi-Fi standard. Wi-Fi 7 is also designed to address the specific needs of modern device-rich organizations and households, with optimizations aimed at improving performance.
The upcoming standard promises to deliver lower latencies and higher reliabilities for time-sensitive networking (TSN), which is critical for cloud computing and cloud gaming.
Achieving this goal is also crucial for replacing wired Ethernet connections. The objective of Wi-Fi 7 is to offer consistent single-digit millisecond latency across the entire network for all connected devices, ensuring that every device in the network benefits from the low latency performance of Wi-Fi 7.
While still in development, the proposed Wi-Fi 7 specification holds great promise for the future of wireless networking and represents a significant step forward for the industry. We can expect the first Wi-Fi 7 routers and devices to become available in mid-2023, and with its blazing-fast speeds and significantly reduced latency, Wi-Fi 7 has the potential to revolutionize wireless networking.

BY HOWARD MEYERSON CONTRIBUTING WRITER April 12, 2012
Grand Rapids, Mich. — Michigan fish managers are facing a frightening scenario on Lake Michigan: too few prey fish to sustain the salmon population at current stocking levels.
The solutions, they say, involve cutting the number of hatchery plants. The Michigan DNR and other managers from around the lake are inviting anglers to have a say in the outcome.
A public workshop on the topic is scheduled for April 14 at Lake Michigan College in Benton Harbor. The choices being presented are the consensus of a multi-state working group.
The options, whittled down from a field of 25 choices, call for reducing chinook salmon stocking by 30 to 50 percent, and decisions about whether to reduce stocking for species like lake trout, steelhead, brown trout, and coho salmon. Lake Michigan officials say they were looking for choices that would not decimate the forage base or result in smaller or fewer fish.
Lake Michigan is stocked annually with 2.5 million chinook (king) salmon fingerlings. They feed exclusively on alewives – unlike steelhead, coho salmon, and brown trout, which feed on various prey. If the alewives disappear, so do the big kings.
“We started the process a year ago. It does come with some anxiety,” said Denny Grinold, a Lake Michigan fishing charter captain from Grand Haven who represented the Michigan Charter Boat Association on the Lake Michigan fishery work group. Grinold also chairs the committee of advisors for the Great Lakes Fishery Commission.
“We just came off a really good year in Lake Michigan,” Grinold told Michigan Outdoor News. “But if you go back to 2003 on Lake Huron, they had the largest prey population in the history of that assessment and in 2004 Lake Huron collapsed.”
Lake Michigan forage is at an all-time low, according to state and federal fish managers who have conducted surveys on the lake. It is home to a robust alewife year-class from 2010 and five other age classes that contribute little to the forage base. No new forge showed up in 2011. State officials say they’re hoping to see a new year-class develop in 2012.
An acoustic survey of Lake Michigan prey fish last year found approximately 25 kilotons, according to state officials. That’s 76 percent less than 2010 and 84 percent less than the 20-year, long-term average. Lake Michigan fish managers would prefer to see 100 kilotons or more.
WINDSOR, ON – The Lake Erie Committee, a binational board of fishery managers from Michigan, New York, Ohio, Ontario, and Pennsylvania, recommended a 2012 total allowable catch (TAC) of 3.487 million walleye and 13.637 million pounds of yellow perch1. These recommended harvest levels represent an increase in allowable walleye and yellow perch catch for 2012 over last year, reflecting updated stock assessment results. Extensive biological assessments and analyses—conducted and analyzed jointly by Canadian and American fishery agencies—inform these TAC recommendations. The committee also engaged commercial and recreational stakeholders in a new and enhanced committee structure—called the Lake Erie Percid Management Advisory Group (LEPMAG)—to heighten awareness of stakeholder fishery objectives, to gain consensus about decisions, and to improve the process for binational dialogue among all interested parties.
The committee sought to maintain TACs at levels consistent with Lake Erie’s biological conditions while providing commercial and recreational fishers with some level of stability, as indicated in LEPMAG discussions. However, the committee is concerned about environmental conditions in Lake Erie and potential impacts on fisheries in future years. The heightened stakeholder engagement reflects the committee’s interest in involving the fishing community in discussions related to management of the lake’s percid fisheries. Continue reading
The Future of Salmon and Trout Stocking in Lake Michigan
Five species of salmon and trout support a world-class recreational fishery in Lake Michigan. Stocking has played an important role in maintaining the balance between predators and baitfish, such as the non-native alewife, since the late 1960s. If too many salmon and trout are in the lake, baitfish decline and salmon starve or fall prey to disease. If too few salmon and trout are in the lake, the non-native alewife could foul beaches and affect native species.
Ongoing research is being used to investigate the possibility that changes to stocking policy could improve fisheries and limit the risk of predator-prey imbalance. Fisheries managers in Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana will set a stocking policy for Lake Michigan salmon and trout by fall of 2012.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal by five states seeking an order requiring that a range of steps be taken to keep the invading Asian carp out of the Great Lakes where they are considered a threat to fisheries.
The high court refused to hear an appeal by Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin after the states lost their bid for a preliminary injunction that would have required additional efforts to stop the migration of the voracious carp into the lakes.
The carp have taken over stretches of the Mississippi River and its tributaries. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Chicago area waterway system already have adopted a number of measures to block the advance of the carp into Lake Michigan.
The states have argued that two species, the Bighead and Silver carp, pose a severe threat to the Great Lakes’ $7 billion fisheries. The carp can spread rapidly, crowding out other native fish species.
A federal judge and a U.S. appeals court in Chicago denied the request for a preliminary injunction that would have required additional physical barriers in the Chicago area waterways, new procedures to stop the carp and the speeding up of a study on how to devise a permanent solution to the problem.

I have received several comments since I sent the draft cormorant letter to everyone on the mailing list concerning the 2003 Final Environmental Impact Statement: Double-Crested Cormorant Management in the United States. This Environmental Impact Statement provides the authority to the states to manage cormorant damage and the regulations are due to be revised. The Department of Natural Resources supports continuing the current cormorant management program but with modifications which would incorporate a regional approach. All the comments that I received were supportive of the draft letter that I proposed sending to the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The letter supports the Department of Natural Resources’ position of expanding the current cormorant management approach to include a regional approach. The letter that I submitted from the Committee is attached and can also be viewed on the government website as described below.
As we all know, cormorant control in Michigan is vital for the management of the fisheries throughout the State so it is imperative that we provide as many comments as possible to the US Fish and Wildlife Service to ensure that the program continues. I am encouraging organizations and individuals to submit a letter either through the federal website or by regular mail as described below. Even a short letter supporting the Department and asking for base federal funding for the cormorant management program would be very helpful. Currently, cormorant control is critical to many fisheries around the State including: Les Cheneaux Islands, Bay de Noc, Thunder Bay, Beaver Islands, Ludington Pump Storage Project, Lake George, Nubinway Island, Paquin Island, Isle aux Galets, Bellow Island, St Mary’s River, Tahquamenon Island, South Manitou Continue reading
By Capt. Terry R. Walsh
The Michigan Charter Boat Association celebrated 40 Years of Excellence at its Annual Conference held the third weekend of October at the Doubletree Hotel in Holland, MI. Well over 100 captains and their wives, first mates, dignitaries, congress representatives, state fisheries biologists, the United States Coast Guard and special presenters were all part of the gala event. Several long-time MCBA members said, ìIt was the best attended, most educational, and informative conference we have ever attended.
After an appreciated welcome to a packed conference room, President Terry Walsh turned the Saturday morning meeting over to Dr. Dan O’Keefe, Southwest District Extension Educator, who would act as the dayís moderator.
The morning’s first speaker was Jay Wesley, Acting Lake Michigan Basin Coordinator from the Department of Natural Resources.Lake Michigan had a great 2010 year class of alewife with a high survival rate that produced the most exciting Chinook salmon fishery we’ve seen in many years, Wesley said. The fish were much larger than in previous years. Twenty-pound salmon were pretty common last summer, and I think we can expect similar results in 2012. Wesley added that the angler catch per excursion was nearly six salmon.
The Coho salmon and brown trout fisheries were a pleasant surprise, according to Wesley, who said, They showed up in good numbers in angler catches. And again, like the Chinook, they were much larger than in previous years. One Coho tipped the certified scales at 29-pounds! Continue reading
The urge to procreate happens like clockwork and when the water reaches the right temperature, the Root River turns into a salmon singles’ bar each fall.
But to have a healthy population of coho and Chinook in Lake Michigan, the fish need a helping hand to hook up. That’s why a group of Department of Natural Resources employees dressed in chest waders, rubber boots and gloves worked quickly this week to scoop up coho salmon at the Root River Steelhead Facility, siphon eggs and sperm and mix the two together in plastic buckets destined for a fish hatchery.
The coho will be raised until they’re yearling size and then dumped in Lake Michigan destined for fish hooks wielded by Wisconsin anglers in 2013.
These are booming times for Lake Michigan’s salmon.
“It was a good year for coho. It was probably the longest and most sustained coho we’ve had in decades,” said Brad Eggold, DNR fisheries supervisor for the southern half of Lake Michigan.
Chinook salmon are also robust. Among the reasons for a healthy population is an abundance of forage fish like alewives that salmon snacked on last year and this year, growing big and fat.
Salmon are not native to Lake Michigan but were introduced half a century ago as a predator to alewives when the alewife population exploded; they’re now a popular fish among anglers. Continue reading
On Interstate 80/90 in Ohio there is a small, unassuming sign that indicates you have crossed the line that divides the Great Lakes basin and the Mississippi River basin.
Keeping these two watersheds separate is important for the health of both water systems, but that dividing line is not stopping water and fish from moving between the basins.
The Great Lakes Mississippi River Interbasin Study (GLMRIS) indicates that a water exchange between basins (hydrological risk) could occur through wetlands, ancient portage routes, rivers and streams during high water events or floods. This could allow non-native organisms, known as Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) to displace native species and degrade native habitats.

Desperate Bangalore in must-win scenario
Match factsSaturday October 17
Start time 20.00 (14.30 GMT)
Big PictureDelhi Daredevils are at a slight advantage even before their first game of the league stage as their opponents, Royal Challengers Bangalore, must win to stay in the tournament. Bangalore's capitulation to Victoria on Thursday means they must beat Delhi and hope Victoria and Delhi both beat Cape Cobras. Delhi aren't all that better off, though; they have a negative run-rate, marginally better than Bangalore's, and will need to win both their games to be well-placed for the semis.
All of which means that, whatever the result of this game, it is possible no IPL team advances to the semi-finals of the Champions League Twenty20. That should not detract from the atmosphere at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, where a large crowd is expected on Diwali night to watch the last tournament fixture in this city - and perhaps the first and last time in this tournament that two IPL teams play each other. Nothing may be going right for them but Bangalore can at least expect a partisan crowd supporting their efforts.
Delhi play their first away game of the tournament and their explosive top order will relish getting away from the sluggish Feroz Shah Kotla pitch and on to a venue where the home side scored 188 for 2 earlier this week. That said, the Chinnaswamy isn't entirely seamer-friendly so the two sides will hope their openers give them a frenetic start. Mark Boucher, the Bangalore wicket keeper, predicted that as the tournament went on the track would get slower and scores would be disappointingly smaller.
Watch out forGlenn McGrath: After being benched for all the games in the IPL, McGrath finally donned the Delhi uniform against Wayamba and took two wickets in his second over, bowling just outside off and getting the ball to dart in - as if he had never been away.
Ross Taylor and Manish Pandey: With Jacques Kallis doubtful because of injury, Bangalore's batting will rely on their young opener Pandey - who scored 39 off 28 against Victoria - and middle-order batsman Taylor, who has a strike-rate of 153.28 in domestic Twenty20s.
Rahul Dravid: This may be one of his final limited-overs matches on the big stage after he was dropped from India's one-day squad.
Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag: Fireworks are always expected from the Delhi duo and now, in the company of Tillakaratne Dilshan, they will be looking to explode and light up Diwali night for their side.
Quotes"In Twenty20 cricket you want high-scoring games and the format is basically designed for batsmen to come and smash the ball… that is what crowd come to witness. Hopefully they can get the wickets right. I am not sure why they are not using the other wicket, which I think they would know better."
Bangalore wicketkeeper Mark Boucher on the use of slow wickets in Bangalore
After seeing yesterday's match, it seems that it will favour the seamers if they drop the pace a little bit. It probably it suits our attack a little bit as well.
