Traffic headed north on Van Dyke Avenue (M-53 freeway) was rerouted by Sterling Heights police Wednesday morning due to a large semi-truck with several gallons of diesel fuel flipping over.
Police Lt. Luke Riley said officials are in the process of cleaning up the diesel fuel, along with 38,000 empty pickle jars. He said the fuel tank was ruptured during the accident.
Riley said the accident occurred on the M-53 northbound entrance ramp from Van Dyke Avenue. As the truck driver rounded the curve on the entrance to M-53 he turned over, Riley said.
'The diesel fuel and pickle jars are being removed from the slippery roadway,' Riley said. 'The roadway will be closed ... until about noon.'
The driver was not injured, police said.
Traffic is being rerouted onto northbound Van Dyke at Hall Road, Riley said.

"Shark Night 3D" is like "Piranha 3D" only it's rated PG-13 so it's going to be missing all of the good stuff, AKA blood and boobs. Nonetheless it hits theaters on September 2nd and a new TV spot has hit with all kinds of shark biting action... So it's got some good things going for it. Like kids can get in to see it without a parent or guardian. So that's a plus for the moms out there. Maybe drop the kids off at the theater and go treat yourself with a mani-pedi and a carton of Virgina Slims.
If you left your AC filled home this weekend to see "Cowboys & Aliens" then you probably saw the trailer for Andrew Niccol's new Sci-Fi flick "In Time". For those of you who didn't though you're in luck because it's on the intertubes also! Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried star in the film which takes place in a future where a person's time left on this earth has replaced our legal tender. I'm guessing from the cast list it's also a future where all ugly people have been done away with also. I can't wait for this future.
If you've been waiting for "A Serbian Film" to hit Blu-Ray and DVD so you can own the sickest film I've ever had the misfortune of watching then you're in luck, and you should be imprisoned. For those of you not familiar with the film it is focused on Serbia's greatest porn star who comes out of retirement for one last hoorah only to find he's become a part of some sort of sick and twisted extreme form of gonzo film making. October 25th is the date that you can pick it up and I assume also be added to some sort of government watch list. Happy Halloween you freakin deviants.
If you're like me then you spend most of your time sitting on the couch watching these crap movies eating cheese curls all weekend. Mother of god I love cheese curls. But it might be time to put them down and get some exercise because a new 5K race called Run For Your Lives is coming and it looks pretty kick ass. Participants will test their endurance on a 5K run that's chock full of obstacles and teaming with zombies. Not real ones I assume, that would be pretty dangerous, but still it sounds kind of frightening.
A 20 year old New Hampshire Dunkin Donuts employee is in deep crap after he was caught putting snot in a cop's coffee. How did he get caught you might ask? Why by the security cameras of course. Something you would think an employee would know about, but hey what do I know.
I've always been amazed by these people who will fork over thousands of dollars to a vet just so their disgusting cat can live a few extra months. Apparently neither did a Florida man who refused to pay for his wive's cat's medical bills. Of course his wife then went nuts and started stabbing him so maybe he should have just shelled out the cash so Mr. Whiskers could stick around a little longer. Pets are stupid.

| 5.7°C Belfast
An airline passenger who travelled to Heathrow Airport has been diagnosed with a potentially deadly Sars-like virus.
Public Health England (PHE) said the non-UK national was diagnosed with Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) today after being taken to hospital with respiratory symptoms in the US.
The passenger had flown on a British Airways flight from Riyadh, the capital city of Saudi Arabia, to Heathrow on April 24, before transferring on to a flight to Chicago.
PHE has contacted UK passengers on BA Flight 262 who were sitting in the vicinity of the affected passenger, to provide them with health information, but stressed that the risk of infection was "extremely low".
Any UK passengers on the flight who have since become unwell or experienced respiratory symptoms such as shortness of breath have been urged to contact NHS 111.
PHE said it was also working with the US health authorities to contact any UK passengers on the onward flight, American Airlines Flight 99, from London to Chicago.
It is the first case of MERS-CoV in the US after diagnosis was confirmed by the United States Centre for Disease Control in Indiana.
Latest figures from the World Health Organisation (WHO) show that since mid-March, 111 people have tested positive in the Jeddah area of Saudi Arabia; the biggest single surge in the MERS-CoV outbreak since it was detected in April 2012, resulting in 31 deaths.
In total, there have been 401 confirmed cases of MERS-CoV infection in 12 countries including 93 deaths., according to the US Centre for Disease Control.
Three people have died so far in the UK as a result of the infection - including one man who died at the end of June. PHE said the last case to be detected in the UK was in February last year.
Cases have also been reported in France, Germany, Italy and Greece, across the Middle East in Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait and Oman and in other countries including Malaysia, Philippines and Tunisia.
The period between exposure to MERS-CoV and when symptoms might develop is up to 14 days, according to PHE.
Any illness that passengers experience more than 14 days after the flight would not be related, it said.
Professor Nick Phin, head of respiratory diseases for Public Health England, said: " The risk is very low and human to human transmission of MERS-CoV is extremely rare, but we would ask any passengers from British Airways Flight 262 on 24 April to contact NHS 111 if they're experiencing respiratory symptoms or have felt unwell since their flight."

CARSON, Calif. (Sunday, August 12, 2012) – LA Galaxy captain Landon Donovan has been named to the U.S. National Team roster for their upcoming friendly against Mexico. Donovan, the all-time leading goal scorer for the U.S. with 49 goals in 143 appearances, was one of 22 players named to the squad by head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. He will travel to Mexico City following LA's game against Chivas USA at The Home Depot Center tonight, a game that kicks off at 8 p.m. and can be seen live on ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes.
The U.S. will face Mexico on Wednesday, August 15 at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, Mexico. That game will kick off at 5 p.m. (PT) and will be shown live on ESPN2 and Univision. As a result of his inclusion in the U.S. squad for that game, Donovan will miss the Galaxy game at Columbus, which will be played the same day with kickoff scheduled for 4 p.m. (PT) on the NBC Sports Network.
In 17 career appearances against Mexico, Donovan has scored five goals, including one on his international debut at the L.A. Coliseum in October 2000. Donovan also scored against Mexico in the Round of 16 at the 2002 FIFA World Cup as well as in the 2007 and 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup Finals and in a friendly in February 2007.
Following Wednesday's game against the Crew, the Galaxy return to The Home Depot Center for a stretch of three straight home games to close out the month of August. That stretch starts on Thursday, August 23 when the club hosts Isidro Metapan in their first game of the 2012-13 CONCACAF Champions League. That game will be followed by an MLS regular season game against FC Dallas on Sunday, August 26 and then another Champions League game against the Puerto Rico Islanders on Wednesday, August 29. For more information about all of these games or to purchase tickets to any Galaxy home game, please visit the club's official website at www.lagalaxy.com.

Novadrain PVC-U Access Bend Solvent Cement Joint F&F
Code: 103
A DWV sanitary drainage bend for below ground applications that incorporates an inspection access opening.
- Made from quality PVC-U
- Complies with AS/NZS 1260
- Connects with Solvent Cement
- Gravity applications only
- Suitable for use with SN16 PVC-U DWV pipe
Flow capacity
Extremely smooth bores, precision joints, and lack of internal projections encourage flow capacity over the total life of the
PVC-U does not support combustion.
PVC-U is a non-conductor of electricity, and is therefore not subject to galvanic or electrolytic action.
Resistance to tree roots
Iplex DWV elastomeric seal joints have been designed with high interface pressures which, when coupled with smooth, impervious PVC socket and spigot surfaces, provide high resistance to tree root intrusions.
Low installation cost
The light weight of Iplex DWV pipes together with longer pipe lengths, flexibility and the use of narrow trench widths minimises installation costs.
Corrosion resistance
PVC-U has excellent chemical resistance to hydrogen sulphide and the acids or chemicals normally expected to be encountered in sewer drain and waste applications.
Manhole reduction
In some cases manholes can be replaced with PVC-U riser and access points. The spacing of manholes can be increased due to reduced incidence of blockage and increased flow rates.
Leakage significantly reduced
Ground water infiltration and sewerage exfiltration due to broken and cracked elements and joint openings caused by ground movement are significantly reduced by the precision joints, flexible pipe barrel and sealed access points provided by PVC-U sewer pipe systems.

Proper lighting and vision aids can make a woodworking world of difference.
By Rob Porcaro
Pages: 63-65
From the February 2010 issue #181
Buy this issue now
Woodworking is a visual art. The capabilities of our eyes and visual system, as well as the quality of the conditions in which we use them, are essential to good woodworking. Basic knowledge of visual function in the shop and the aids used to enhance it can improve a woodworker's skill. It is also helpful to know a few visual tricks to achieve even better visual performance than seems usually possible.
Let's first look at the power of this marvelous tool – the visual system. If you are fortunate enough to have 20/20 vision in either eye, with or without corrective lenses, you are able to distinguish, at a viewing distance of 14″, in proper conditions, critical detail in your work of .004″ (four thousandths of an inch). That means if you are cutting dovetails with your eyes 14″ away from the wood, you can see detail equal to the thickness of a sheet of paper.
Even more powerful is "vernier acuity" with which you can discern a displacement of less than .001″ of two fine lines, such as registration marks on a pair of boards. When using this "super" visual ability to align your work, your eyes equal or exceed the accuracy of the finest calipers likely to be in your shop.
Further, the eye can readily detect a gap of light of a mere .0005″ (half a thou) under a straightedge placed on the sole of a plane held up to diffuse light. That's probably more accuracy than you need. Turn out all the lights in your shop except one narrow beam aimed across the room to see previously invisible, minute dust particles in the air hovering long after a sanding session and destined for your lungs.

The speaker of the House is entering the blogosphere. And if you don't know what that means, don't worry.
Just like so many Americans my friend loves the clubs and club music lyrics so he went ahead and built an awesome website about club music lyrics. When he's in high spirit he goes to the site and start reciting all his favorite club music lyrics. Says it's good for the heart. Guess what? I gave it a shot and it works great!

When Ruth Handler and Mattel introduced Barbie in 1959 it created quite a
sensation! She was inspired by Ruth's daughter Barbie (of course), as an
alternative to their weekly shopping for paper dolls.
I was born the same year as Barbie and she was a very important part of my childhood. When my own daughter started playing with Barbie, I fell in love with her beauty and elegance. Shortly after that, I rediscovered the precious few pieces that survived my childhood and I began collecting vintage Barbies. (The coat and purse pictured on the left are from my original childhood collection.) Vintage Barbie dolls and clothing are beloved by collectors for their quality and representation of the clothing of the era. As styles have changed, so has Barbie.
(This is a 1960 Barbie TV ad! Click on the arrow in the middle of the screen to watch it.)
Of course there have been many others and as little girls who played with Barbie have grown up, an entire industry of collectible dolls has been developed for those of us who still like to play with our dolls!
My goal is to provide a comprehensive resource to vintage
Barbie dolls, clothing, accessories and other collectible fashion dolls,
beginning with Barbie's debut in 1959.
The main focus of this is vintage Barbie and her friends and family. I will also be adding in other vintage dolls and today's dolls as well. I hope you will stop back often and please send me your comments and suggestions.

Cruz likely to make roster if Texas reaches playoffs
Star outfielder's 50-game ban ends at conclusion of regular season
ARLINGTON -- The Rangers are undecided if suspended outfielder Nelson Cruz would be on their roster if they reach the postseason, but it will likely be an easy -- if not automatic -- decision in his favor when the regular season is over.
As the Rangers go down the stretch, it's easy to see that Cruz could fit on this team as its left fielder or designated hitter. The Rangers faced left-handed pitcher Francisco Liriano on Tuesday night and Joey Butler was their designated hitter. Craig Gentry was in left field.
Texas' alternatives haven't been attractive lately. David Murphy is hitting .171 in his last 15 games and no longer starts against left-handers. Lance Berkman, a switch-hitter, is active off the disabled list, but still limited by inflammation in his left hip and doesn't even take batting practice from the right side.
"He can't hit on the right side," manager Ron Washington said. "It's not even an option."
Jurickson Profar is also a switch-hitter, but is hitting .194 against left-handers as opposed to .258 against right-handers.
"He's been successful as a switch-hitter, but it's tough to keep it going from both sides at the Major League level," Washington said.
Cruz was suspended for the remainder of the regular season Aug. 5 for violating the Major League Joint Drug Treatment and Prevention Policy. But he is eligible for the playoffs and is working out at the Rangers' Spring Training facility in Surprise, Ariz., to stay ready. He is eligible to play in Instructional League games.
Ironically, his suspension might work in his favor when it comes to decisions about the postseason roster. While competing candidates for roster spots are getting limited playing time at the big league level, Cruz will be getting plenty of at-bats against live pitching in Arizona. He won't be facing Major League pitchers, but he will be able to work on his timing.
General manager Jon Daniels said among the factors that will determine if Cruz is activated for the playoffs is how he is accepted by his teammates. But Rangers players have made it clear they would welcome him back. Cruz was hitting .269 with 27 home runs and 76 RBIs at the time of the suspension.

SHINE: code for everything
Tim Fitzpatrick, Artist, Scotland
SHINE, 'Code for Everything' is an on-going art work by Tim Fitzpatrick in collaboration with astronomer Anne-Marie Weijmans of the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of St Andrews. The art takes its inspiration from the Anne-Marie's work and the science of spectroscopy and, in particular, through a series of visual and experimental representations of the individual emission spectra of the elements.
Tim Fitzpatrick's principal development of the work is through his fascination with the extraordinary level of detail – and therefore information – contained in the spectrum of starlight. As the work progresses and evolves he seeks to develop the theme of the linguistics of the light of the elements and, by extension, our reading of the light of the universe and our place in it, as described in a series of codes.
Seismic Inferences of Gas Giant Planets: Excitation & Interiors
Ethan Dederick, NMSU
Seismology has been the premier tool of study for understanding the interior structure of the Earth, the Sun, and even other stars. In this thesis we develop the framework for the first ever seismic inversion of a rapidly rotating gas giant planet. We extensively test this framework to ensure that the inversions are robust and operate within a linear regime. This framework is then applied to Saturn to solve for its interior density and sound speed profiles to better constrain its interior structure. This is done by incorporating observations of its mode frequencies derived from Linblad and Vertical Resonances in Saturn's C-ring. We find that although the accuracy of the inversions is mitigated by the limited number of observed modes, we find that Saturn's core density must be at least 8.97 +/- 0.01 g cm^{-3} below r/R_S = 0.3352 and its sound speed must be greater than 54.09 +/- 0.01 km s^{-1} below r/R_S = 0.2237. These new constraints can aid the development of accurate equations of state and thus help determine the composition in Saturn's core. In addition, we investigate mode excitation and whether the \kappa-Mechanism can excite modes on Jupiter. While we find that the \kappa-Mechanism does not play a role in Jovian mode excitation, we discover a different opacity driven mechanism, The Radiative Suppression Mechanism, that can excite modes in hot giant planets orbiting extremely close to their host stars if they receive a stellar flux greater than 10^9~erg cm^{-2} s^{-1}. Finally, we investigate whether moist convection is responsible for exciting Jovian modes. Mode driving can occur if, on average, one cloud column with a 1-km radius exists per 6423 km^2 or if ~43 storms with 200 columns, each with a radius of 25 km, erupt per day. While this seems unlikely given current observations, moist convection does have enough thermal energy to drive Jovian oscillations, should it be available to them.


text: African Americans and Latino/as have had a long history of social interactions that have been strongly affected by the broader sense of race in the United States. Race in the United States has typically been constructed as a binary of black and white. Latino/as do not fit neatly into this binary. Some Latino/as have argued for a white racial identity, which has at times frustrated their relationships with black people. For African Americans and Latino/as, segregation often presented barriers to good working relationships. The two groups were often segregated from each other, making them mutually invisible. This invisibility did not make for good relations. Latino/as and blacks found new avenues for improving their relationships during the civil rights era, from the 1940s to the 1970s. A number of civil rights protests generated coalitions that brought the two communities together in concerted campaigns. This was especially the case for militant groups such as the Black Panther Party, the Mexican American Brown Berets, and the Puerto Rican Young Lords, as well as in the Poor People's Campaign. Interactions among African Americans and Mexican American, Puerto Rican, and Cuban/Cuban American illustrate the deep and often convoluted sense of race consciousness in American history, especially during the time of the civil rights movement.

The directives described in Configuration Constraints and Objectives are used to detect the approaching failure of a system to meet its objectives. These objectives are directly related to workload.
A partition that is not meeting user-configured objectives is a control violation. The two types of control violations are synchronous and asynchronous.
A synchronous violation of an objective is detected by the daemon in the course of its workload monitoring.
An asynchronous violation of an objective occurs independently of monitoring action by the daemon.
The following events cause asynchronous objective violations:
Resources are added to or removed from a control scope.
The control scope is reconfigured.
The poold resource controller is restarted.
The contributions of objectives that are not related to workload are assumed to remain constant between evaluations of the objective function. Objectives that are not related to workload are only reassessed when a reevaluation is triggered through one of the asynchronous violations.

A new video posted over the weekend by Russia's most wanted terrorist, self-described Chechen "Emir" Doku Umarov, has warned already jittery Muscovites to brace for a "year of blood and tears." His threat: a wave of assaults by up to 60 suicide bombers trained at a secret base in the North Caucasus.
That chilling message comes just two weeks after a suicide attack on Moscow's Domodedovo airport killed 35 people and wounded almost 200.
The slaughter prompted an outpouring of criticism from leaders as well as security experts over ongoing vulnerabilities more than 16 years after Russian forces first invaded the North Caucasus republic of Chechnya in a bid to put down a separatist uprising.
"These operations will be carried out monthly, or weekly, as God allows and depending upon [Russian] reaction," Mr. Umarov says in thickly accented Russian in the video, which was posted in Russian at Kavkaz Center, a website that often carries statements from Islamist insurgents in Russia's south.
Wearing army camouflage, flanked by two stone-faced lieutenants, and standing beneath a black flag showing a sword and an inscription in Arabic, the heavily bearded Umarov adds: "Through our actions we will awaken you.... we will make this a year of blood and tears."
Self-proclaimed leader of an Islamic 'caliphate'
Umarov styles himself "Emir Dokku Abu Usman" and proclaims himself leader of an Islamic "caliphate" that seeks to wrest from Moscow's rule virtually the entire northern slope of the Caucasus Mountains, including seven autonomous Russian republics strung out between the Caspian and Black seas.
He has taken responsibility for terrorist acts in the past, notably a twin suicide bombing in Moscow's crowded metro system last March that killed almost 40 people.
Umarov makes no mention of the Domodedovo attack, but experts say there may be a gruesome reason for that. They say the grim-faced young man standing on Umarov's left in the video is probably Magomed Yevloyev, a 20-something accounting student from the insurgency-wracked republic of Ingushetia, whom Russian authorities now believe was the suicide bomber who struck the international arrivals area of the airport on Jan. 24.
"In the video, Umarov is introducing this young man, who is going to be sent on a special mission, and there is growing evidence that was the bomber who hit Domodedovo," says Andrei Soldatov, editor of Agentura.ru, an online journal that follows security issues.
"For Doku Umarov, it's clearly important to be seen as a leading figure in the global jihad, someone who can threaten the Kremlin. He seems determined to proceed, to keep sending people to strike Moscow," he says.
Russian attitudes hardening
The Domodedovo attack has led to a hardening of attitudes among Russians, who appear increasingly resigned to an ongoing terror assault as a fact of life rather than a problem that might be solved politically.
A poll released last week by the independent Levada Center in Moscow found that after the Moscow metro bombing last March, 53 percent of Russians nationwide saw terrorism as a consequence of the 15-year war against separatist and Islamist insurgents in the North Caucasus.
Following the Domodedovo attack, only 41 percent thought so, while 28 percent blamed "international terrorist conspiracy" – markedly up from 19 percent less than a year ago.
"A plurality of respondents still link terrorism to the war in Chechnya, but they do not go so far as to explicitly connect it to the policies of [former president and current prime minister Vladimir] Putin," says Denis Volkov, a researcher with the Levada Center. "Perhaps this is because this subject is not broached in the mass media, and groups that analyze the situation in these terms do not have the media access that would enable them to make it part of the public discussion."
Mr. Volkov says more than half of respondents now see terrorism as something that they'll just have to learn to live with.
"More people support the authorities' version of the origins of terrorism, and increasingly see Islamist terrorism as Russia's enemy. We see this feeling that the problem cannot be solved as a factor that's contributing to uncertainty, tension, and aggression in society. When added to other existing social, ethnic, and economic realities, this could make for a very dangerous combination," he says.
Thousands of Russian soccer fans went on a violent, racially tinged rampage in Moscow last December after a Russian fan of the Moscow soccer team Spartak was killed in a fight with immigrants from the North Caucasus.
"Growing xenophobia is one of the consequences we see," as people adjust to the onslaught of terrorism, says Andrei Kolesnikov, opinion editor of the opposition weekly Novaya Gazeta. "People aren't blaming political leaders, but increasingly they fear Caucasians and non-Russians as the carriers of the terror threat."
The public mood has been aggravated by a recent wave of false terror alerts, most the work of hoaxers, who have sent emergency services scrambling with dozens of credible but false bomb threats to marketplaces, railroad stations, metro lines, and airports.
"In January alone, we had 42 false alarms, which is a record number," says Ilgam Kurmanov, head of the Moscow's police's sapper [bomb disposal] department.

Logan's Next Run.
Ah yes, Syphon Filter. The name brings up lovely
memories of flak jackets, headshots, and a guy with a reeeeealy big flame-thrower.
Well, it turns out that last year's sleeper hit has spawned a sequel: Syphon
Filter 2.
When I first picked up the game, I was worried that they had taken the easy
way out and just created a complete rehash of the first game. It turns out that
that's only half true: although the gameplay is almost exactly the same as the
original, some aspects have improved by a significant amount, and the quality
and variety of the levels is quite incredible.
The story is a direct continuation of the first game, so for those of you who
haven't played it, I recommend you turn away from your monitor now…
Here's the score at the end of the first game: Gabriel Logan destroyed a nuclear
missile while discovering that the agency he worked for was behind it, and that
they had infected his friend Lian Xing with the all-too-deadly Syphon Filter
As the second game opens, you're transporting some data disks in preparation
for a bargain: you give the agency the disks, they give you Lian's vaccine.
However, en route, you get shot down in the middle of a mountain range, with
no companions but a small group of survivors.
You can come back now. Guys? Oh yeah, they're not looking. Well, they'll come back later.
The gameplay is practically identical to the original. You play in a third
person view, climbing walls, throwing switches, and shooting countless bad guys.
You can lock on to opponents a la Tomb Raider, giving you a way to constantly
albeit inaccurately fill the bad guys full of lead. You can also aim your gun
manually, which gives the ability to shoot your enemies in the head, killing
them instantly. Very cool.
The graphics haven't changed much from the original, either. Everything still
looks pretty good, though with a lot less pop-up. The framerate has gotten better
with no noticeable slowdown, even in busy scenes. Like the first game, you still
have a somewhat awkward running style (sort of like the way a cowboy would run
after riding on a horse for hours straight), but it isn't as pronounced this
time around. With some neat little added effects like lens flares, Syphon
Filter 2 is easy on the eyes.
The sound is also similar to the first game, with the same selection of booms,
bangs, arrghs, plops, and various other noises. The audio comes out crisp and
clear. They tried to improve the audio by making it depend on the camera's position,
which works fairly well, though it sometimes causes voices behind the camera
to fade to nothing. A little annoying, but not a game-ending problem.
The control has improved quite a bit. Now the analog joystick actually responds.
If you push forward a smidgen, Gabe walks slowly. Farther forward, and he runs.
There are still some problems with the direction Gabe is running, and I found
myself hitting walls and bannisters more than I really wanted to. Oh well.
You're probably thinking "With all of these things the same, there has to
be something really different." Well, you're right. Where the sequel
really shines is in the level design. This game truly feels like an action movie.
Almost every level has at least one sequence that would make Arnold proud. Thankfully,
this isn't a one-trick pony. All levels are quite challenging and interesting
to play. There are plenty of clever mission objectives, as well as several great
plot twists.
It's odd, though, that some of the mission objectives in the early levels become moot by the end. This makes it a little strange to replay levels when you know the outcome won't matter.
I am particularly impressed with the trial-and-error aspect of some of the levels. I enjoy using my mind, not my lightning fast fingers (you know it baby) to figure the best way out of a situation (I enjoy using other people's minds…mwahaha. – Ed.). For example: you're surrounded by enemies, all wearing full protective body armor, and have only limited grenades to get by them. Who do you shoot and where do you run, roll, and dodge to stay alive? It takes more than a quick trigger finger to get out of that in one piece.
New to the Syphon Filter line is the two-player deathmatch mode. While
an interesting little diversion, I wouldn't really call it a particularly substantial
addition. It's fun for a while, but the controls weren't made for a human vs.
human match. If you lock on to your opponent, you won't hit him very well unless
you stand perfectly still. It ends up boiling down to who can score the first
head shot.
But before you run off to Toys 'R Us (or the GR
Store), I have reiterate: SF2 is very much like SF1. In fact,
you could probably call it the equivalent of an expansion pack and a patch to
the original. Fans of the original should aim for the head and pull the trigger
– this one's a no-brainer.

Asian American religions have dramatically increased their presence in the United States. Partly, this is a function of the increasing population of Asian Americans since 1965. Asian American is a name given to the United States residents who trace their ancestry back to the area of Asia from Pakistan in the west to the Pacific islands east of the Asian landmass. There are over 18 million Asian Americans in the United States (about 6 percent of the national population), and Asians are immigrating to the country at rates that far exceed those for any other group. Other names have been taken, given, or forced upon Asian Americans. Such terms as "Chinese or Japanese imperial subjects" heightened a unity of political and religious obedience to a divine emperor. "Oriental" started as a French idealization of the Confucian state before descending to the level of being an epithet for backwardness. Immigrants come with nationalities like Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, and so forth that often intervene into religious discourses (see an example of this process in the Chinese American experience as described by Fenggang Yang (Chinese Christians in America. University Park: The Pennsylvania State University Press, 1999). In the 1970s the name Asian American was popularized by West Coast intellectuals in order to gather forces at the barricades of political and racial movements. Some scholars like Michael Omi and Howard Winant (Racial Formation in the United States. From the 1960s to the 1990s. New York: Routledge, 1994) claimed "Asian American" as a racialized reality, which was the result of racial conflicts innate to American society. Others saw the identity as an ethnic claim to assimilation into American cultural reality. Asian immigrants and their progeny find ways to balance out the religious, national, ethnic, racial, and other identities from their homeland, new nation, and religion. "Asian American" has also become a common-sense meaning that was institutionalized by the U.S. census. But one should remember that many layers of names sit upon Asian American houses of worship as so many barnacles telling tales of ancestral honors, woes, and self-reflections. Over three-quarters of Asian Americans profess a religious faith. About a quarter say that they are "religious nones," that is, either having no particular religious faith or identifying as agnostic or atheist. About half of the "nones" actually have religious beliefs and ethics and practice them as an intrinsic part of Asian American culture, not as something that is "religious." Two-thirds of religious Asian Americans are Christians. This is not surprising when we take into account the rapid growth of Christianity in the non-European world. Asian Americans are contributing to the "de-Europeanization" of American Christianity and signal the increasingly religious direction of the 21st century. Other Asian American religions include Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Sikhism, Jainism, Zoroasterism, new Japanese religions, and many more. The history of Asian American religions involves a dynamic interplay of the United States and Asia, global politics, democratic revolutions, persecution in Asia, racism in the United States, Supreme Court cases, and religious innovation. The largest Asian American groups, those with 1–4 million people each, trace their ancestry back to Japan, China, Philippines, Vietnam, India, and Korea. Seven smaller groups have over 100,000 people each: Bangladeshis, Burmese, Cambodians, Hmong, Laotians, Pakistanis, and Thais. And there are many more smaller groups. The diverse ethnic and national origins of Asian Americans means that their religions have a kaleidoscope of religious styles and cultures.

The homa is a votive offering involving the construction of a fire in a hearth-altar, and the immolation of offerings in the fire. The altar is homologized with a mandala, and as with other ritual uses of mandalas, the deity evoked in the course of the ritual is located at the mandala's center, and in this case identified with the fire itself. As a tantric ritual, the practitioner is also ritually identified with both the deity and the fire, and the offerings made into the fire are the spiritual obstacles that impede the practitioner from full awakening. Tantric homas are generally categorized according to different functions or goals, such as protection, subduing adversaries, and so on. As a form of individual practice conducive to awakening, the practitioner's own inherent wisdom is identified with the fire, and just as the offerings are transformed and purified, the practitioner's own spiritual obstacles are as well. Ritualized activities of maintaining and making fire are some of the most ancient forms of social coordination, which is essential to the development of the human species. Such ritualization would seem to be the basis for fire cults, forms of which are known throughout the world's religions. In the scope of Indo-European religions, similarities of practice and symbolism provide a shared background to the homa per se. More directly, there appear to be both Vedic and Indo-Iranian traditions of ritual praxis that converge in the tantric homa. The homa is found in all of the Indic tantric traditions: Buddhist, Śaiva, and Jain. Once established as part of tantric practice, the homa was spread throughout Central, East, and Southeast Asia, particularly in its Buddhist form. This transmission of ritual practice engaged local traditions wherever it spread. Tibetan tantric traditions developed an extensive literature of homa rituals, and from there the practice also influenced Mongolian fire rituals as well. In China, interaction between tantric Buddhism and Daoism led to the creation of a homa devoted to the Northern Dipper, a figure unknown in Indian sources of Buddhist tantra. Two similar examples are found in Japan. The Shintō traditions of Yuiitsu (or Yoshida) and Miwa modified the tantric Buddhist form for the worship of a selection of Shintō deities. Similarly, the tradition of mountain asceticism, Shugendō, also adopted the homa and adapted it to its purposes. As a result of the repression of Buddhism in the third quarter of the nineteenth century, the Shintō forms are no longer extant, though in the present many Shintō shrines perform rituals of various kinds in which fire plays an important role. In contrast, the Shugendō homa, sometimes as a prelude to fire-walking, remains an active part of Japanese religion into the present day. The tantric homa has been interpreted in a variety of ways, reflecting the multifaceted character of fire itself. There are two important strains of interpretation. One is the yogic interiorization of ritual found in post-Vedic Indian religion, more as a form of esoteric physiology than as a psychologized understanding of visualization. While closely related to yogic interiorization of ritual, the sexual symbolisms that are attached to all aspects of the fire rituals constitute a second strain of interpretation. These symbolic associations are important for their role in understanding tantric notions of ritual efficacy, which require greater nuance of understanding than can be attained by simply categorizing such practices as magic.

Let $G=\langle a,b | R \rangle$ be a one-relator group. When can the left group von Neumann algebra $LG$ be isomorphic to a free group factor? Jesse and Andreas have "trapped the lion" pretty well with their comments below.
A bit more modest related question: if $L_{a}$ and $L_{b}$ are the unitary elements in $LG$ corresponding to $a$ and $b$, respectively, can the free entropy of ($L_{a}+L_{a}^{*},L_{b}+L_{b}^{*}$) be finite? For the definition of free entropy, see Voiculescu's survey: http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/math/pdf/0103/0103168v1.pdf.
(It is possible for a set of generators of a type $II_{1}$-factor that is not a free group factor to have finite free entropy. Nate Brown establishes this in http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0403294.)

Take a look at Max Pacioretty's weird night
Canadiens winger Max Pacioretty registered a hat trick in Montreal's 5-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks. Although that's a fantastic stat, it won't get you noticed too much. Registering a hat trick and missing two penalty shots? Well, that's history-making.
After scoring in the first period, Pacioretty was on a breakaway just before 12-minute mark of the second frame. Coming close to going up 3-1 at the time, he was dragged down by Vancouver's Raphael Diaz, and awarded a penalty shot, which went sailing wide of the net.
Not two minutes later, Pacioretty was on another breakaway. Again, he was brought down and awarded a penalty shot - the second time ever an NHL player has gotten two in the same game, and the first time in the same period. This time, the Montreal forward lost the puck as he was approaching Vancouver goalie Roberto Luongo.
"I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do, actually. There are a few moves I work on in practice, but it's different in a game situation," Pacioretty told NHL.com after the game. "I was a bit lost on the second shot. I just couldn't believe it was really happening. Maybe I thought a bit too much."
"It's a little embarrassing, getting two chances and not scoring on either shots."
But Pacioretty's night wasn't over, and he scored twice in the third period to earn himself the hat trick, the old-fashioned way.

Medical flight crashes in Tunisia, 11 Libyans die
TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) -- A medical flight from Libya crashed in a field near Tunis before dawn Friday after an engine caught fire, killing all 11 Libyans on board, Tunisia's civil defense said.
According to Libyan security officials, the dead included Miftah Daoudi, a founder of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group that helped to overthrow the dictatorship of Moammar Gadhafi. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
Daoudi, who held a position in the Ministry of Martyrs and the Wounded in one of Libya's transitional governments, had been traveling to Tunis for medical treatment when the plane crashed. Daoudi had spent more than a decade behind bars in the notorious Abu Selim prison before winning freedom on the eve of Libya's civil war.
Defense spokesman Tawfik Rahmouni told Tunisia's state news agency that the crew contacted Tunis-Carthage airport to report that one of the plane's engines had caught fire, then communication was lost.
The plane crashed in flames at 1:45 a.m. in Grombalia, a sparsely inhabited farming region 40 kilometers (25 miles) southeast of Tunis, the capital. Army units and civil protection services extinguished the fire and extracted bodies.
Monji el-Kadhi, the Tunisian civil defense spokesman, confirmed 11 people were aboard the Russian-built Antonov 26, a twin-engined turboprop aircraft, which started its journey at Tripoli's Mitiga airport. Officials could not confirm the age of the aircraft, but records indicate the last aircraft of that model was built in 1985.
Libyan Transportation Minister Abdelkader Mohammed Ahmed told journalists in Tripoli the plane had four crew members and seven passengers, among them a doctor, a nurse and two people seeking medical treatment in Tunis.
Amateur video showed images of the charred ruins of the aircraft with its tail bearing Libyan colors.
Associated Press reporter Esam Mohammed in Tripoli, Libya, contributed to this report.

For many physicians pursuing the EHR incentives, 2014 means moving on to Stage 2 of meaningful use. Stage 2 is much more complex than Stage 1, with higher thresholds for most Stage 1 measures; core (i.e., mandatory) requirements that were formerly menu (i.e., optional); and totally new measures related to interoperability and patient engagement that will require revised workflows. It's not too early to start learning about Stage 2, and I would suggest that physicians and their staff members take advantage of the abundant educational opportunities that already exist. CMS has produced helpful tipsheets and guides for providers, and you should expect your EHR vendor to offer comprehensive training programs on Stage 2. Another good way to learn about the new requirements is to attend a webinar—there are many, and I invite you to attend one of my company's webinars that will prepare you well for 2014.
In the meantime, test your basic knowledge of 2014 and Stage 2 by taking this quiz. If you have any questions of your own, please comment below and I will be happy to respond.

Real Salt Lake 2, Colorado Rapids 1 | MLS Match Recap
SANDY, Utah – For the first 22 minutes of Saturday's game against Colorado, Real Salt Lake controlled the run of play but somehow couldn't tack the last pass on possession after possession.
That is until Tony Beltran got off a nice pass to Devon Sandoval, who got off a nice pass to Javier Morales, who set Joao Plata up beautifully for his sixth goal of the season – a left-footer from the left side of the box, back across the goal and inside the right post past Rapids goalkeeper Clint Irwin.
The goal gave the the Claret-and-Cobalt a lead they would never relinquish en route to a 2-1 victory in Game 1 of the 2014 edition of the Rocky Mountain Cup.
Just five minutes into the second half, RSL doubled the lead in a way that was oh-so-familiar to the Rapids. Salt Lake midfielder Ned Grabavoy maneuvered the ball into the box and passed it to Sandoval, who was taken down by Rapids goalkeeper Clint Irwin. Referee Mark Geiger pointed to the spot and, after strong objections by the Rapids, Morales stepped up and put it in the upper right of the net for his fourth goal in two games.
As is generally the case when these two teams get together, there would again be late game drama. In the 83rd minute, Colorado's Drew Moor finally got one to go his way as he cut the lead in half with a header off Dillon Serna's free kick. However RSL held on for the full three points.
The win extended RSL's unbeaten streak to start the season to 11 games in a row, and they did it without captain Kyle Beckerman, veteran goalkeeper Nick Rimando and leading scorer Alvaro Saborio, who were with their national team's at pre-World Cup camps.
After taking the 2-0 lead, Salt Lake repeatedly dodged bullets fired at them by the Rapids. And Colorado did not lack for chances. In the 57th minute, an unmarked Moor launched a header to the far post that could've, should've gone in. Just two minutes later, RSL goalkeeper Jeff Attinella came out to get the ball and missed, leaving Moor with another header that also failed to find the net.
Attinella, stepping in for Rimando, kept the Rapids off the scoreboard for 83 minutes with several spectacular saves, including a double save in the 73rd minute on shots from Kamani Hill and Serna as Colorado's push intensified.
RSL's (6-0-5, 23 points) win was the first over the Rapids (4-4-3, 15 points) since July 21, 2012; Colorado have won two and tied two since then. A decade into the rivalry, it's all tied up: 10 wins apiece, with nine ties.
The win also gives RSL a leg up on regaining the Rocky Mountain Cup, the symbol of supremacy between the two teams. The team that claims the most points in the three regular-season games claims the cup; if it's a tie, the cup remains the previous year's winner, Colorado.
Real Salt Lake host FC Dallas on May 25; Colorado return home to take on Montreal.
The Rocky Mountain Rivalry resumes on Aug. 2 in Colorado before concluding on Sept. 18 back in Rio Tinto Stadium.
MLSsoccer.com Men of the Match
|What We Saw
|Jeff Attinella
|Despite a shaky stretch in the second half, he filled in admirably for Nick Rimando - and made a handful of highlight-reel saves that proved necessary
|Devon Sandoval
|Active all game - and all over the field. Had a great assist on Plata's goal, and drew the PK for Morales.
|Dillon Serna
|One of the few bright spots, Serna was again not afraid to shoot and would've scored if not for RSL's GK. At least he got an assist for his willingness to attack.

State policies have little effect on reducing minors' indoor tanning use
A new analysis finds that state policies meant to limit minors' indoor tanning use have had little effect. Published in the January 15, 2009 issue of Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the study indicates that additional efforts are needed to reduce indoor tanning use in youth.
Because indoor tanning use increases an individual's risk of developing skin cancer, a number of states have enacted policies designed to restrict the practice among adolescents. However, nearly every state that has enacted such a policy still permits minors' access with parental consent and/or accompaniment. Few states entirely prohibit access based on age.
To measure the effect of these policies, Vilma Cokkinides, PhD, of the American Cancer Society in Atlanta and colleagues conducted two population-based telephone surveys, one in 1998, and an identical survey in 2004. They surveyed U.S. youth aged 11 to 18 years and their parents or guardians. Participants were asked whether they had used an indoor tanning booth or sunlamp in the past year and the number of times it had been used.
The findings show that the use of indoor tanning by adolescents changed little from 1998 to 2004, increasing from 10 percent in 1998 to 11 percent in 2004. In states with policies on minors' access to indoor tanning, the prevalence of the practice stayed the same or decreased over this period, while it increased in states without such policies, but in both cases the change was not statistically significant.
Results from the surveys also confirmed five factors that were significantly associated with indoor tanning use: older age, being female, having a positive attitude towards a tan, having a parent or guardian who used indoor tanning, and having parents' permission to use indoor tanning.
"These findings underscore the need for significant education at both the individual and community level to change social norms around having a tan and to educate community members about the serious risks of indoor tanning," the authors write. They stress that health professionals and the medical community could play a greater role in providing this education. In addition, the investigators note that more restrictive legislation may be required to reduce adolescents' exposure to indoor tanning.

The Gunners receive £30 million a year from the airline company, but Emirates' senior vice-president, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, has revealed that the club will be paid less money if they fail to perform on the pitch.
And although Arsenal currently sit in third position in the Premier League after beating Wigan 1-0 on Saturday, the news will worry fans as the side are currently fighting with the likes of Chelsea, Everton, Tottenham and West Brom for a spot in the top four.
"There are certain clauses, from 2015, that we pay them a percentage less if they don't perform," said Boutros-Ghali.
|Arsenal are 33/1 with William Hill to win the Champions League this season
"The Champions League is part of the new contract. It's just to keep them on their toes. It's fair to us and fair to them."
The airline sponsor Arsenal's shirts and stadium, but are wary of receiving less exposure if Arsene Wenger's side fail to reach the Champions League and miss out on the media exposure the tournament brings.
The French manager has led the Gunners into Europe's top club competition in every single year of his reign in north London, but he is currently experiencing his worst start to a season at Arsenal with 30 points from 18 games, including four defeats.
The club are also without a trophy for seven years, but Emirates have negotiated a contract extension for another five years from the 2014-15 season, and the company believe the club are still a good investment.
Boutros-Ghali continued: "Arsenal is an incredibly strong brand, well managed, with a great coach."

Ruth Tringham (professor) – "Busy day today at the SF Presidio. Usual San Francisco fog, then sunny with wind – lovely summer… Today we started off the discussion of how we are going to share our project to create microhistories about archaeology and cultural heritage at the SF Presidio. Since this is a class on Digital Documentation, it's no surprise that we chose digital on-line platforms. We started off with Erica's [Pallo] experience of her yummy foody blogs and do's and dont's of blogging. This was followed by Elena's [Toffalori] technical guide through the ins and outs of WordPress. What a coincidence – unplanned – with the Day of Archaeology. Pure serendipity. There are no coincidences, you say; well maybe not…….Then plotting with dreams and realistic visions of what our tour of El Presidio, Funston Ave and El Polin will look like on the Web, on an iPad, and/or iPhone. Michael [Ashley] and I brainstorming very constructively and loudly as usual, making dreams come true."
Michael Ashley (instructor) – "I was psyched about a 'day in the life of' archaeologists worldwide' since I first heard about it from Lorna and friends. We spend the day digging deep into digital archaeology in our course at the Presidio of San Francisco. The student team had fabulous ideas on how to put together a virtual visit of past Presidio life with new technologies such as gigapixel imaging and Google Earth. I was pulled into a great discussion with Presidio staff about how to plan a 3-way documentation of the Officer's Club, originally an adobe structure that's spent most of its modern life shrouded in wood and sheetrock. Cyark will laser scan the interior, and CoDA will work with Presidio staff to produce color accurate photogrammetry and gigapixel imaging. We are working to meld practical digital techniques with real world archaeological problems, and have a lot of fun in the process. Thanks, Lorna and all for getting the Day of Archaeology rolling, and congratulations!
Erica Pallo (CoDA intern) – "Digital Documentation for Archaeology: Documenting, Representing, and Interpreting Cultural Heritage at the San Francisco, California Presidio. So much is said in a name, and this one just so happens to be the title of the academic course we are hosting at the University of California in Berkeley. Teaching students of Archaeology the nitty gritty of the discipline, carrying out our official work-related projects both past and present, and in general just being excited about the implications and applications archaeology has to offer are all in a day's work for us, so heck, we here at CoDA are chuck full of bright ideas for making archaeology happen habitually. Organizing our class for a special undertaking such as today's – though it was a complete coincidence that this occasion fell on a pre-scheduled class day – where all of us Archaeo types can get together via the World Wide Web to celebrate all the ideals we hold dear, sounds like sweet success to our virtual ears!
As a constant way to chronicle our class's documentation of El Presidio de San Francisco , I write a weekly blog that assesses the skills learned, trials and tribulations of making archaeology digital, and feedback from the voices of the students themselves as they enter (sometimes with trepidation) into the multi-faceted world of cultural heritage preservation. Today I gave a crash course on blogging as a way to educate, but also to ease some fears and stir up excitement for future possibilities in the field. Below I carry on with my routine methodology of having the class participants – students, interns, professors, other CoDA staff – share a little insight into their stance on digital documentation of cultural heritage, only this time I am pleased to say it includes their general enthusiasm for the Day of Archaeology. Welcome to the class!"
Elena Toffalori (CoDA staff) – "Today I had the chance to cut in on the conversation about blogging and archaeology in this amazing course. Based on my experience of web development with the CoDA Website I followed Ruth Tringham and Erica Pallo and gave a first introduction to Content Management Systems and more "geeky-technical" details involved in blogging and publishing contents on the web, as I have done already in a series of posts on our blog section. Having to work with media and building narratives, and especially when handling cultural heritage-related data, it is particularly important to take care of our data and metadata, so that details such as copyright attribution, contextual information, and tracking to the original file are made possible and lawfully pursued. This is one of the major challenges young cultural heritage specialists have to face to help dragging the discipline into the XXI century!"
Ioan Chelu (student) – "We've all been in that class with the instructor who's lectures consist of reciting monotonously from dry, old textbooks. BORING. How do you make archaeology interesting for the greater public? How do you form connections with them, at large? How do we connect this dry, old subject of archaeology with new, modern technology? These are the questions we've been asking and answering today."
Chris Fussell (student) – "Organizing multiple angles of history via interactive multimedia feels a bit daunting and exciting. Using Google Earth to generate a tour of the Presidio with images, text stories, movies all while placing all of this information spatially with the ability to travel vast distances will allow one to virtually travel to the past. There is so little of the original Presidio left at the site in San Francisco. Most of it is sealed under a parking lot or a part of the WWI era officers club. I think what we are doing is allowing as much accesses to the past as possible at this time and perhaps more. A historic place or artifact cannot simply speak for itself; it needs a touch of humanity, a story, something that makes it relevant to today, a connection that unites current residents of San Francisco and visitors from around the world. People generate history through events, through action. We are often left with the result but not the need, the idea, the planning, the consequences, the effort and use of what was made in the past. How do we bring this out in our project for the Presidio? I guess that is what I will be finding out through my and my teamates efforts and actions."
Cyrena Giordano (student) – "What did I do today? I learned about blogging and how intricate and interlaced blogging communities can be. Also, how blogging can be a faster and semi-professional way to get one's writing out to the public. Moreover how blogging can be, in a sense, a replacement for a resume or even a book. This was really interesting to me."
Luke Morris (student) – "Determination of blogging value, enhancing dissemination of digital data and its interpretation: clearly the future of archaeology."
Adam Grab (student) – "Today was an informative session in digitally codifying archaeological information. We experienced the benefits and disadvantages of proprietary versus open source blogging, as far as customization and access to data is concerned. It's amazing how much free reign is possible when you know the right kinds of editing."
Francesca Favila (student) – "My mind was BLOWN by the discussions of html and php and blogging that took place in class today. My capabilities using the internet are limited, to say the least."
Nicholas Joy (student) – "Today was a great class. We learned about how to digitize our data in either a blog, html, or .org format. Today was important because not only does this information pertain to just archeology, but with so many digital links we learn they can be used in many areas out in life. Happy Archeology Day to all."
Debbie James (student) – "Hml, css, php…what? Okay, I understand what a blog is…sort of. Very interesting, but still need to catch up with the modern world. Happy Archaeology Day!"
Cheryl Guerrero (student) – "Acronyms flying fast and furious today, but think I was able to hang on to a few of them…HTML, CSS, and PHP, which used to be 'personal home page' but I don't think that applies anymore. Still learning about techie terms, hosting sites and blogging, but seems to be a slow process…"
Connor Rowe (CoDA staff) – "Well, today was a lovely day experimenting in the latest panorama viewing technologies coming out of the German-speaking world. Trying to get around the Apple/Adobe wars and get our panorama to view in the iOS Safari is so far unsuccessful, but we will persevere! In a side note, I came across a neat little trick that allows those of us running Macs to turn our desktop Safari into an iPad/iPhone Safari emulator. Try Safari > Preferences > Advanced and check the box that says "Show Develop menu in menu bar," then, at the top of the screen you should see Develop, from which you will change your User Agent. For the good news, we finally remembered to bring the Magic Gold Cable (DV/FireWire 800) from our Berkeley lab out to the Presidio so that we can finally get started on the log&capture&compression process for the student vids."

Since its birth in Wisconsin's Progressive Era, the Wisconsin Valley Improvement Company has been a pioneer in natural resource management. Privately owned and financed, it is the publicly chartered and regulated steward of one of the state's greatest resources, the Wisconsin River.
Founded by industrialists to provide "as uniform a flow as practicable" in the river for papermaking and power generation, WVIC very quickly learned that it could not manage the river solely for industry. The needs of lakeshore property owners, the tourist industry, pioneer agriculture, the northern forest and aquatic wildlife also had to be considered. As a result, the Wisconsin Valley Improvement Company was dealing with the complexities of multi-use management of a natural resource decades before the environmental awakening of the 1970s.
By the 1990s, the definition of stewardship had expanded to include river and lake ecology, shoreline maintenance, recreation, even archaeological preservation, plus the necessity of keeping the people of the Valley informed.
Wisconsin Valley Improvement Company's mission is to operate the Wisconsin River Reservoir System to maintain a uniform flow and a reasonable balance among the benefits the water resource provides.
We recognize that the Wisconsin River and the reservoir system are important natural resources and accept a stewardship role on behalf of all beneficiaries, including water conservation, flood control, low flow augmentation, hydroelectric generation, water quality, wildlife and recreation.
To accomplish our mission, we will cooperate with others and continually apply advances in technology which make the system more efficient and accountable.
Made possible by our member companies:
