With Lakes Michigan and Huron now having gone more than 14 straight years with below-average water levels, the International Joint Commission is recommending that the U.S. and Canadian governments explore some sort of engineering fix on the St. Clair River to slow its outflows and restore the lakes closer to their historical levels.
"Although future water levels are uncertain, we cannot ignore the damage from record low water levels," Joe Comuzzi, Canadian chair of the Joint Commission, a binational board appointed by the U.S. and Canadian governments to oversee boundary water issues, said in a news release.
"From Georgian Bay to Door County, from shoreline property owners to the shipping industry, we heard calls for action, and we urge governments to act in response to our recommendation."
Specifically, the Joint Commission, in a formal report to the U.S. and Canadian governments, is recommending an investigation into some sort of structure in the St. Clair, the main outflow for Michigan and Huron, to raise their water level by as much as 10 inches. As part of this investigation, the Joint Commission is recommending a cost-benefit analysis and an environmental impact study that would evaluate the potential downsides of such a project.
Lakes Michigan and Huron, which are actually one body of water, hit an all-time low in January, more than 2 1/2 feet below their long-term average and more than 6 feet below their record high.
They rose 3 inches during February and March, and then the remarkably wet weather this month hit. Precipitation over the Michigan and Huron basin was over 200% above average for April with five days still left in the month, the Army Corps reported Thursday.
The lakes climbed 8 inches in April alone. The U.S. Army Corps is expecting them to climb an additional 3 inches by the end of the month.
Still, as of Friday the lakes remained 21 inches below their long-term average for April and are 7 inches lower than they were this time last year. The lakes have not been at their long-term average for 14 straight years, and historic dredging on the St. Clair River has exacerbated the problem. But scientists point to warming temperatures and, consequently, increased evaporation as the main culprit.
Dredging in the river to provide access for deep-draft freighters into the upper Great Lakes has led to more water flowing out of Michigan and Huron and, ultimately, out to the Atlantic Ocean.
Army Corps hydrologists have long acknowledged that historic dredging and mining in the riverbed lowered the long-term average of Michigan and Huron by about 16 inches. A riverbed restoration had been planned following the last major dredging project in the early 1960s to compensate for the lower water, though the Army Corps never proceeded with it and above average levels subsequently returned in the next two decades.
Then the water level dropped precipitously in the late 1990s, and has since stayed low.
In 2007, the Joint Commission hired a team of scientists to determine if ongoing erosion in the St. Clair was behind the persistent low water, and this "study board" found that unexpected erosion on the riverbed since the last major dredging project in the 1960s had indeed cost the lakes an additional 3 to 5 inches from their long-term average, though it determined the erosion was a one-time event and was not ongoing.
The study board initially recommended doing nothing to slow the flows in the St. Clair but was overruled by the Joint Commission, which asked the study board to evaluate a range of potential solutions. The study board came back with another study that concluded a variety of structures could be used to slow flows in the St. Clair and raise lake levels by as much as 20 inches, but its leaders said such a project likely would take decades to complete and cost as much as $170 million.
The study board leaders also said such a project could bring with it a host of environmental troubles, including temporary low water levels on downstream Lakes Erie and Ontario as well as flooding and erosion on the shores of Michigan and Huron during extreme high water years, if they return. They also cautioned that a riverbed restoration project could harm efforts to help endangered sturgeon recover in the St. Clair.
Much of the public didn't buy the recommendation to do nothing.
In February, a binational group representing nearly 100 mayors from across the Great Lakes region wrote President Barack Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to ask them to do something about the low water that poses trouble for navigation, recreational boating and water intake facilities as well as wetlands and beaches.
"As mayors of the 96 cities in the United States and Canada along the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence (River) with over 16 million residents, we are living with the effects of these low water levels on a daily basis," wrote leaders of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative, which is chaired by Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. "We ask that you engage the full authority of your offices to find near, mid, and long term solutions to this problem."
That letter followed a request last fall from the mayors to the Joint Commission to further investigate engineering options on the St. Clair to raise lake levels to specifically compensate for dredging on the St. Clair.
Most conservation groups have said they are opposed to the idea of a dam-like structure on the St. Clair that could be manipulated to increase or decrease flows depending on weather patterns and water supplies. They contend that naturally fluctuating levels are good for the lakes' wetlands and fear a controllable structure would politicize water level management, with economic interests trumping ecological ones. But a major coalition of environmental groups urged the Joint Commission in a letter last summer to explore putting in some type of static water-slowing structure that would compensate for the dredging but still allow natural fluctuations of lake levels.
The Joint Commission on Friday also recommended that the governments pursue a strategy of "adaptive management" so the region can learn to live better with low - and possibly high - water levels in the coming years.
It is the strategy that was pushed by the study board.
The U.S. chair of the Joint Commission, Lana Pollack, refused to sign the letter because, according to a Joint Commission news release, "it places insufficient emphasis on climate change and the need for governments to pursue and fund adaptive management strategies in the (Michigan and Huron) basin."
She also cautioned against "false hopes that structures in the St. Clair River, if built, would be sufficient to resolve the suffering from low water levels of Lake Michigan-Huron, while at the same time causing possible disruption downstream in Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie."

They are, used by creditcard cash advances properly.
Use Your Hard Earned Money Advances Correctly! Charge card cash advances provides you with convenient and instant access to cash, but cash improvements ought to be eliminated if feasible.
What's a?
A cash advance is definitely an alternative cardholders can use to use cash against their existing amounts, in place of using the card for a real purchase. For most charge card customers, the quantity of cash can be a modest fraction in their credit-limit that is general. Promises supplied by the bank may generally present two units of quantities: the cash advance restriction and the limit.
Cash Advances
Your charge card can be an effective tool for your supervision of one's financial existence. It might help you to expand the value by obtaining items of the products and solutions you need, before paying for it. Your charge card can also decrease the requirement for check or cash in sites far from household, plus it can also enable you to perform enterprise that is personal and qualified by telephone, mail, or the Net.
Like allpowerful resources, however, your creditcard has to be utilized cautiously. That is specifically essential while using the supreme power of your bank card: it is power to give you quick cash in huge amounts. Both most widely used means of getting cash from charge cards are through the unit at your lender that is local, or by filling out and cashing a check-like document that is typically attached with your credit card record that is monthly. You may also move within the lender and fill types for the amount of money out. These methods all are certain to get you the cash you will need nonetheless, in case you should get an advance, avoid ATM machines. ATMs charge an additional payment for
advances. the financial institution that owns the ATM charges this fee. Each process besides have another enormous thing in common that will be that no real matter what means you consider the cash, attention wills instantaneously be billed about the transaction. Money advances therefore, aren't susceptible to a time and, begin accumulating interest immediately. Thus, even if your card equilibrium is paid by you entirely once your statement happens, you will still be reached a finance cost for almost any advances.
Last year the total amount of cash lent from only one significant credit-card firm totaled over 104 billion dollars. That has been an eight percent raise within the prior year, and it tells us that creditcard consumers are increasingly seeing plastic's uncomplicated use instead of employing unions and banks for credit, for that discipline.
creditors in-turn are significantly ready to mortgage cash. It can be an incredibly important company for his or her customers. But interest prices and the expenses will also be growing for cash advance. Your regular declaration provides you with a number of the fine-print how these fees are charged, in most scenarios it generally does not tell you what those fees are. It certainly is a good idea to contact the client service amount in your assertion and get, if you don't know. It really is no unique of shopping for the best phrases over a mortgage among credit unions and banks before signing to the line.
the Price Of Buying Cash
When you use your credit card to buy new sneakers or even the newest CDs those goods are yours to keep. If you wish pay and you can use them to come back for them over a couple of months. Nevertheless when you utilize your charge card for cash advance to fund everyday requirements like energy and groceries that benefit will be paid far more for by you. And you will must provide all back as easily while you could to it.
should you access $500 in one of the main credit card companies in the Usa at modern rates, like, you will be billed 3. In case you decide to repay the mortgage in four months your charges in costs and fascination will be $35.88 or more than 7 of the mortgage amount.
But that is not all. In the event that you browse the modest print on your own record you'll discover that to lessen interest cost buys funds you create to your credit-card company is likely to be employed first generally before they begin to eliminate the debt for higher awareness credit of cash. For instance: you also pay only $200 per month back and in case your creditcard stability of $1000 features a $500 cash advance it will be 3 months before your repayments commence to address the advance. That's three more weeks that the credit card firm may charge you 19.9 RATE charge for companies and items demand almost 20 to 4 for an advance, but costs no less than $10 regardless of number of the advance. Another example would-be a provider that costs x at-times, which could rapidly take up any benefits of a cash advance. Use your credit advance sensibly and solely access enough cash to solve your monetary accountability and create an honest effort to pay any cash advance back swiftly.

Getaway driver receives probation in armed robbery
Severt receives stayed prison sentence
Rob Ireland
January 26, 2011 | 11:04 AM
Elkhorn — The getaway driver in an armed robbery was promised cocaine and $20 for his role in the crime.
Instead, Ryan T. Severt, 20, 300 Randolph St., was arrested and charged with armed robbery, as a party to a crime, a felony which carries a maximum sentence of 40 years imprisonment.
"It is a crime where you get money for wearing a mask and pointing a gun in someone's face," Deputy District Attorney Joshua Grube said. "It is a prison case."
However, a pre-sentence investigation — a report generated by the Department of Corrections which reviews past criminal behavior, social traits and the impact the crime had on victims — recommended probation, which included a year in the Walworth County Jail.

"I have no idea how the PSI came up with that recommendation," Grube said. "It certainly seems to be a recommendation that should be posted to a different set of facts."
Walworth County Circuit Court Judge David Reddy imposed and stayed a 10-year prison sentence, which is split into five years of initial confinement and five years of extended supervision. A stayed sentence is only served if the defendant violates the terms of his probation.
Severt also was sentenced to eight years of probation, which includes a year of Huber with work release privileges. Severt won't receive any jail time credit for the time he spent in Walworth County Jail while his case was pending.
"You are one straw shy of breaking the camel's back for going to prison," Reddy told Severt.
A co-defendant in the case, Seth Woodhouse, 19, Walworth, was sentenced to five years of initial confinement and five years of extended supervision. He is eligible for the challenge incarceration program, which could allow for an early release.

Both Severt and Woodhouse face charges in Illinois for armed robberies they allegedly committed there.
When Severt addressed the court, he said he has grown in the jail and is working on his sobriety.
"In the past 11 months, not one day has gone by that I have not thought about the people I hurt," Severt said. "My actions were unacceptable and inexcusable. I realize the hurt and fear I have caused."
Severt's attorney, Frank Lettenberger, said his client immediately began taking responsibility for his actions. He also didn't continue to commit crimes when he saw lights flashing behind him.
"He pulled over immediately despite the urging of the co-actor to flee," Lettenberger said.

Severt's former employers also spoke on his behalf.
Phillip Rogers, owner of PLR Performance, Delavan, said Severt worked for him before his arrest and if Severt was granted work release privileges, he would hire him back.
"He was an excellent employee, trustworthy, and he would get to work early," Rodgers said. "He is a helpful person. There's nothing he wouldn't do for anybody."
Bruce Nelson, the former director of public works in the village of Walworth, also spoke on Ryan's behalf.
Nelson said Severt was a good employee when he worked for him.

"I couldn't believe it when I found out about the whole situation," Nelson said.
Ryan's mother, Penny, said her son suffers from Crohn's disease and struggled academically during school. Despite his challenges, he graduated from the alternative high school with high honors.
"Ryan likes to better himself and has shown a great amount of remorse," Penny said.
Penny said her son missed his father's funeral because he was incarcerated.
"I think having to bury his dad while in jail is enough to scare him straight," Penny said.

I am a proud Playstation fan. I own a PS1, PS2, PS3, and 2 versions of a PSP. Been gaming on Playstation consoles for a long time and am pretty satisfied with my experiences for the most part. However, there are some things that Sony does that really frustrate me.
Omitting moments where it is crucial to have the most accurate and up to date information possible; my first problem is with Sony notifying PS users of things like maintenance schedules and the like. Oftentimes when Sony is going to do maintenance, the ONLY way to know about it is through the blog or on sites like this one. Sony SHOULD be notifying users through their PSN accounts and emails, but I have yet to ever receive such notification. One user here stated that Sony do not send messages to PSN accounts because it would be impossible to tell if it was an official Sony message or some spammer/hacker trying to work one over on you. But I say that, considering Sony has complete control over PSN, they could easily implement a way to let people know if they are sending an official message. It's incredibly frustrating to try and do something on PSN, only to be met with vague error codes or a message stating the service is under maintenance AFTER you tried doing something.
That brings me to my next point. Sony should be training its support staff to know what the frickin' error codes are all about. 80% of the time, Sony customer service don't even know what the error codes mean, nor do they acknowledge there is even a problem. For example, error code 80010514. That code means the Blu-Ray diode is done and you need a new one. But the only way to find that out is through the forums, not through official Sony channels because they don't know anything or don't acknowledge the problem. You'd think since it's their system, Sony should know about the error codes since they programmed the codes into the system to begin with. Sony needs to have better communication within the company so as to facilitate the resolution of consumer issues more quickly and efficiently.
My next problem with them is their sloth like speed at fixing their PSN site on the internet, if they are even bothering to fix it at all. There is an Account Management site where you can make PSN account changes on your PC without needing to use your PS3 or PSP. Changes such as adding funds, changing Billing information, that kind of thing. But ever since the PSN hack of April, that site has been down with a message saying the servers are down for maintenance. It's been almost 5 months. How long does it take to do whatever the hell they are doing with those servers?
My final issue with Sony is their lack of support for WPA2 on the PSP. I'm not sure about the PSP Go, but both of my PSP's do not support my security settings for my wireless network, thus I can't connect to my own internet connection because it uses a WPA2 AES security function. So even if I have a problem with PSN on my PS3, I can't fix it on PC because the site is down and I can't fix it on PSP because I can't connect thanks to the use of a wireless b card in my version of the PSP.
Like I said, I love the Playstation brand and applaud Sony for the monumental "right" moves they made with the brand. But some of the wrong moves they've made are VERY frustrating to solve on your own, and a waste of time to try and solve through customer service. I think that Kaz needs to light a fire underneath his employees to get these problems resolved quickly, but I doubt that will happen any time soon.

Jul 25 2013, 5:24pm CDT | by Bang Showbiz
Amanda Bynes' parents have filed court documents to become her temporary conservators.
Rick and Lynn Bynes hired respected attorneys Tamar Arminak and Patrick Reider, and officially applied to gain legal control of the actress's personal welfare and financial affairs on Thursday (07.25.13), as she remains under an involuntary hold in a psychiatric hospital in California.
A judge will review their petition at a hearing, which is expected to be private, on Friday (07.26.13) at the Ventura County Superior Courthouse in Oxnard, according to gossip website RadarOnline.com.
The 27-year-old actress, who is allegedly showing signs of Schizophrenia in hospital, was brought there by police after they arrested her for starting a small fire in an elderly woman's driveway in the 'Easy A' star's native Thousand Oaks, California, on Monday (07.22.13), during which she accidentally soaked her Pomeranian puppy in gasoline.
A source said the lawyers "were able to get the judge to agree to hear the matter on Friday because of the urgency of Amanda's situation."
The family insider added: "Amanda's parents are truly afraid their daughter will die if the conservatorship isn't granted."
Amanda allegedly flew back to Los Angeles from New York because she could no longer afford a place to live and it has now emerged that Britney Spears' former manager, Sam Lutfi, bought her plane ticket.
A source said: "The two became friends in recent months.
"It's very concerning to say the very least, given Sam's history with Britney Spears leading up to her father, Jamie Spears, getting a conservatorship over his daughter, and getting a restraining order preventing Lutfi from having any contact with her."

by Lauren Redniss
February 19, 2014
Not five pages into this book, I was crazy hooked and kept needing to share interesting trivia with whoever happened to be around me. The book follows the lives of Marie and Pierre Curie and chronicles their scientific progress. It also moves forward in time, covering the historical repercussions of their discoveries. Redniss creates some poignant dramatic irony by showing the actions of the Curies and their contemporaries before they fully understood the harm their experiments could do. As a reader, you cringe, horrified with the knowledge they've yet to acquire. The artwork is beautiful and perfectly mirrors the events described (even down to the process involved in creating the artistic effects). I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the history of science, female historical figures, and art.

23 July 2012
Before the commencement of play on the final day of play at the ISF XIII Women's World Championships in Yukon, Canada, the Aussie Spirit team had already achieved success, regardless of the result of the game. After a 6th place position at the 2010 World Championships in Venenzuela, the Aussie Spirit were guaranteed a medal, courtesy of wins against China and Canada the previous day. The colour was still to be decided and it was a challenge that the Aussie Spirit girls was ready for. The team has spent the last month on the road, preparing and playing each day to give themselves the opportunity to play on the last day of the World Championship.
After the brillance of the previous day's play, the Aussie Spirit were facing their ultimate opponent, Japan, and arguably the greatest pitcher in the world, Yukiko Ueno. To give themselves a chance of World Championship glory, the Aussie Spirit would have to beat Ueno and her Japanese teammates. After a enormous fight by the Aussie Spirit throughout seven innings, they fell short of their final goal, losing to Japan 2-0 and receiving a bronze medal.
Aussie Spirit started the game with Vanessa Stokes - a great achievement for the young Indigenous South Australian whose international career only spanned a few short months. Stokes pitched the first two innings of the game, allowing four Japanese hits. Uncharacteristically, the Aussie Spirit defense committed three errors in the first innings allowing Japan to score one run. Stokes was replaced on the mound by Zara Mee, and in quick succession, Kaia Parnaby came onto the mound for the Aussie Spirit team. Parnaby held the Japanese hitters for the four innings of work, giving up five hits against the world class lineup. Japan put an assurance run on the board in the 5th innings, giving them a game winning 2-0 lead.
The Aussie Spirit girls continued to fight and persist in the batting box against Ueno, scattering four hits across seven innings. Stacey Porter, Chelsea Forkin, Jodie Bowering and Melinda Weaver each hit safely. The never say die attitude and the belief that has characterised this team over the past month came to the fore in the bottom of the 7th innings, where they got their final chance to beat the Japanese. Weaver and Forkin hit safely and De Blaes was disciplined in the box to receive a base on balls. Aussie Spirit had loaded bases with no one out and Head Coach, Kere Johanson, believed that his team could come back and beat Japan. Unfortunately for the Aussie Spirit, Ueno rose to another level and struck out the next two hitters and got a ground ball to end the Aussie Spirit threat and the game to advance to the gold medal match.
Head Coach, Kere Johanson, was very proud of his team today and while the players were disappointed with the outcome of the game, Johanson reminded us all what the Aussie Spirit team had done over the past month to give themselves the opportunity to be in that situation today. Johanson stressed how proud he is of his team that is on the rise and how much they will learn as individuals and players from this experience. 'The Aussie Spirit has been on tour for the past month, and it has been a terrific journey. To see the players be the best of friends on an off the field and achieve success is great. My biggest satisfication with this team is to see how this journey has developed them as people. All the coaching staff have been rewarded by seeing these athletes become better people all the while playing great Softball'.
Japan went on to play in the gold medal game and after 10 innings of play, were victorious against the USA 2-1. Japan had only once before won the World Championship title in 1970 when the championship was held in Osaka, Japan. Reminiscent of their performance at the 2008 Beijing Olympics when they won gold, Japan relied on Yukiko Ueno to shut the Americans down. Similarly to 2008, Ueno pitched every innings for her team (17 innings) today and gave the Japan the win, a fitting finale for the International Softball Federation.
Final placings
Other placings 5-16 will be confirmed by ISF shortly.
