To explore reasons underlying cessation of breastfeeding in mothers with uncomplicated vaginal deliveries and those experiencing complications during childbirth.
Interventions during labour and childbirth can have a negative impact on breastfeeding. Explanations include adverse reactions to medication, delayed breastfeeding initiation, and disruption of the normal endocrinology of childbirth. However, reasons for breastfeeding cessation linked to birth experience have not been fully examined. Increasing breastfeeding duration and, consequently, improving infant and maternal health in the UK depend on understanding why women stop breastfeeding.
An exploratory cross-sectional survey.
Between January–May 2009, 284 mothers attending community groups in Swansea, Wales, and mothers participating in online parenting forums, who initiated breastfeeding but discontinued before 6 months postpartum, reported their birth experience, including complications and reasons for breastfeeding cessation in an internet survey.
Mothers who experienced birth complications breastfed for a significantly shorter duration than those who did not. Specifically, caesarean deliveries, foetal distress, failure to progress, and postpartum haemorrhage were each associated with a shorter breastfeeding duration. Mothers who experienced complications were more likely to discontinue breastfeeding for reasons of pain and difficulty than mothers who did not experience complications, yet no difference was seen between groups for social reasons such as embarrassment or a lack of support.
Certain complications during labour may increase risk of specific physical difficulties with breastfeeding, possibly due to their association with medications received. Maternity health professionals should be alert to this possibility to offer enhanced attention and care to overcome these issues and prolong breastfeeding duration.

Take Action: Keep the Bill Clean!
A bill that could spur innovation in energy efficiency technologies for residential, commercial, and industrial sectors could get its vote this week, but some senators are trying to turn it into a big step backward on energy efficiency. The bill by Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Rob Portman (R-OH) won't do any good if big polluters manage to derail it with toxic riders. They want to load it up with industry giveaways, including provisions that would roll back building-efficiency standards.
The Senate needs to keep its eye on the ball and not get distracted by industry giveaways. Tell your senators to keep it clean!

New Berlin's Madison Tew claims firsts, fame
Cudahy - Yeah, there are some high school athletes who are asked for autographs. LeBron James, when he was that age, comes to mind.
But a sophomore swimmer in a Woodland Conference dual meet?
"At first I was like, 'wait, really? OK,' " New Berlin West's Madison Tew said.
Tew showed why she's been the center of attention this season Saturday at the Cudahy Sectional.
Tew, who won two Division 1 state races as a freshman, took first in two events: the 100- and 200-yard freestyles.
"I just pushed it when my coach told me to," Tew said. "I just listened to her on the sidelines."
Tew's day started with a time of 1 minute 55.50 seconds in the 200 thanks to a strong second 50 yards. Her winning time at state last year was 1:52.42.
"I felt like I could have gone a little faster maybe," Tew said. "The 100 I felt I gave it my all."
A fast 25 on the third leg led Tew to win that race in 52.7. She switched to the 100 after winning the 500 free at state last year because she wanted to try new things and felt more confident in her new event.
"It feels pretty good and I feel like I can do it again," Tew said.
Perhaps that's when Tew will sign another autograph or two, as she competes Friday at the state meet.
The last time that happened was in a recent dual against Milwaukee Pius.
"She was like, 'Oh, where's Madison Tew? I want her autograph,' " Tew said. "She seemed really happy and I guess it wasn't a joke."
That's what happens when a relatively unknown freshman wins two events at state.
"This year it feels like everyone knows me," Tew said. "Like, 'Oh, that's Madison Tew. Oh, she's probably going to beat me.' "
The only other swimmer to win twice Saturday was Emma Bare. The Fort Atkinson junior finished first in 1:04.51 in the 100 breaststroke and won with a 24.47 in the 50 free to lead her team to the sectional crown with 329 points.
New Berlin Eisenhower finished second with 272.5, making for an interesting state meet. Shorewood led all Division 2 area schools last year at state by taking second place. Eisenhower was fifth, just three points ahead of Fort.
"I don't know what it will be like until we get there," said Eisenhower first-year coach Jennifer Moeller. "Our kids are tapering well, but we'll see what it looks like that day. I don't know."
The Lions wrapped up the sectional meet by winning the 400 free relay. Nicole Bellford, Shayna Putney, Sam Rottel and Paige Carter turned in a time of 3:38.60.
"They all swam really solid, but our third swimmer (Rottel) pulled out a time (52.84) we haven't seen yet this season," Moeller said.
Other highlights included another diving title for Whitnall senior Rachel Stave. The two-time reigning state champion totaled 451.65 points.
Greendale freshman Carolyn Jungers claimed the 200 individual medley in 2:11.12 and was runner-up in the 100 breast.
Pewaukee senior Claire Fernandez finished first in the 500 free in 5:14.36, and Elkhorn junior Kady Ruemmele won the 100 backstroke in 59.14.

I purchased this product to decorate the table for my son's 10th birthday for his Call of Duty themed sleep over party. I also used them in the goodie bags I sent home with the kids. They gave an extra addition to the table and the price was very reasonable. I only wished there was a little more variation with the soldiers. I believe there were only 4 different types so I had to scatter them about so no two were right next to each other on the table.
These soldiers made great cupcake toppers. They were also fun to play with.

Perfect for our Mash 4077 party.

Pathways to marriage and cohabitation in Central America
|Date received:
|14 Mar 2013
|Date published:
|22 Jan 2014
|Word count:
|adolescent transition, Central America, cohabitation, family formation, life course, marriage
Background: The notion that increasing prevalence of cohabitation relative to marriage, and increasing age at first marriage are part of a broader shift in societal norms -- a second demographic transition -- is now well supported by studies focused on US and European populations. Recent research points to the similarly high prevalence of cohabitation in Latin America as perhaps signaling the diffusion of modern ideals and norms about union formation. In Central America this is unlikely to be the case given the long history and enduring acceptance of cohabitation that is unrelated to modern ideals. While there are studies that have documented this history and current prevalence, there is no research examining the intersecting life course pathways from adolescence through early adulthood that lead to marriage or cohabitation. This is not surprising given that available data for Central American countries are not ideally suited to studying the process.
Methods: We use retrospective questions from large, nationally representative Central American surveys (Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua) to establish the timing of marriage or cohabitation and events that are closely tied to union formation. We utilize additive causespecific hazard models, and predicted transition probabilities based on selected covariate pathways, to study the competing risks of exiting from the status of never in union.
Results: Our results identify sexual activity and pregnancy as the primary drivers of union formation and indicate that education serves as a protective factor against union formation. We also find distinct differences among countries and a strong indication that cohabitations are less stable unions.

In conjunction with the opening of 9 Artists, Stewart will perform at the dedication of Tombstone for Phùng Vo (2010), a grave marker Vo created for his still-living father.
Visualizing American Power
Paul Schmelzer
Oct 2013
Examining US energy production and use for five years, photographer Mitch Epstein became fascinated by a pun: "electrical power came from political power, which came from corporate power—and civic power met up against all that." Here Epstein talks with Paul Shambroom, whose own photos examine issues from nuclear weapons to oil, about aesthetics, activism, and the work of connecting the dots of American power.
Jim Hodges and the Eros of the Everyday
Olga Viso
Oct 2013
When she first encountered Jim Hodges's art—a patchwork of silk billowing in the breeze—Olga Viso was struck by how the piece conjured childhood memories. Nearly two decades later, as co-curator of a survey of Hodges's work, she reflects on an artistic practice that's "rooted in modesty, intimacy, and integrity—one that seeks to find the epic in the most mundane as well as the quotidian in the epic."

Baghdad (AP) A reduction in violence largely due to a six-month cease-fire could be threatened if a radical Shiite cleric turns one of Iraq's most powerful militias loose this weekend.
A spokesman and another official say Muqtada Al-Sadr has threatened to end the cease-fire and allow his Mahdi army to resume activity. They say if there's no further word from Al-Sadr by Saturday, it means the gloves are off.
The U.S. Military has welcomed the cease-fire but has insisted on continuing raids against what it calls Iranian-backed breakaway factions of the Mahdi army militia. Al-Sadr's followers claim the U.S.-Iraqi raids are a pretext to crack down on the wider movement,
which has pulled its support for the Washington-backed government.

Ready Player One
by Ernest Cline
Ready Player One Theme of Friendship
If you think of video games as a solo affair, you couldn't be more wrong. As the pastime has grown and evolved, it's becoming more and more about teamwork, from 4-player teamwork in New Super Mario Bros. Wii to guilds in World of Warcraft. Even Mortal Kombat knows the value of friendship. Ready Player One is no different. At the beginning of the novel, Wade and his friends seem committing to solo-ing, all wanting to finish the Hunt by themselves, with no help. They learn along the way that not only is this difficult to do, but nearly impossible. Just like it would be if you tried to "solo" life itself.
Questions About Friendship
- Besides Halliday's quest, what do Wade and his friends have in common?
- Would Parzival, Art3mis, and Aech have teamed up if they hadn't been required to by the game?
- Do you think Wade's friendships will change now that he knows his friends outside the OASIS? If so, how? If not, why not?

Panama City Commissioners are taking steps to fight high unemployment rates by renewing a tax break for job-producing businesses.
Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday for a property tax abatement that provides incentives for any company, new or existing, if that company can provide new local jobs.
The hope is that the abatement will entice new industry to relocate to Panama City.
"It's more important that ever that we need to do as much as we can to recruit industry and create more jobs and this is a vital tool in that effort," Scott Clemmons, Panama City Mayor said.
The tax abatement now goes to the April 2009 City Elections ballot, for voter approval.

Investors need to see things from different angles
Are you being fiscally responsible?
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Puerto Rico has been making headlines for months. Yesterday, the
clincher finally appeared:
downgraded the island's debt
to "junk" status. What does it mean for the municipal bond market?
After all, given the triple-tax-exempt status of Puerto Rico bonds,
they are widely held by muni investors across the nation. The
answer may surprise you: We don't expect it will be very meaningful
to the broader market at all. The downgrade was not at all
unexpected. As I alluded to in my
November blog post
, there has been a large disconnect between the rating agencies'
assessment of Puerto Rico's debt and the market's view. In fact,
Puerto Rico bonds have been trading as non-investment grade since
last summer, so the new BB+ rating is actually a better reflection
of the island's credit profile and pricing. Whereas the broader
municipal market was down 2.55% last year, Puerto Rico was down
20.47%. Clearly, investors had taken notice. Many actually sold
down their positions over the course of the summer and fall, giving
those that hung on ample time to position for the downgrade. In
addition, S&P Dow Jones last month made the decision to remove
all U.S. territories (including Puerto Rico) from its
investment-grade indexes, indicating they no longer meet the
objectives established for those indexes. This required
investment-grade index products to sell their Puerto Rico exposure,
which effectively alleviates forced selling in the aftermath of the
What Next?
Puerto Rico remains on review for downgrade by Moody's and Fitch,
and the next month could see action from either or both agencies.
Regardless of the rating,
the grim facts around Puerto Rico's economic, fiscal and
demographic state are clear. While we applaud the administration's
efforts to free up liquidity and aid the ailing pension system, a
restructuring may be unavoidable. In fact, the island will need to
borrow relatively soon to meet its obligations, and it may well
find it difficult or impossible to access the market for financing.
That may dictate whether Puerto Rico buys some additional time or
finds itself pressed into a restructuring. Ultimately, Puerto
Rico's troubles have been well telegraphed and largely priced into
the market, underscoring our call for minimal downgrade-related
ripple effects. As always, we would point to thorough
credit research
as the lynchpin to effective decision-making in
today's municipal market
. There are big disparities across credits and issuers, even in
Puerto Rico. It's critically important to know what you own, and to
know what to avoid.

Municipal Bonds Group and a regular contributor to
The Blog.

Our server is IPv6 only connected and an applications listen to port 8080 at private network, but we need port 80 at public Internet.
On purpose of testing, when opening the firewall for port 8080, accessing IPv6:8080 address works fine (no permanent solution, at the end the port have to be closed)
So we need a kind of port forwarding like offered by ip6tables TPROXY to another local port as proposed here. But the following is not working:
ip6tables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j TPROXY --on-port 8080
It simply don't return any data. (Even when removing all other rules from ip6tables, only this one is available) When looking to the packages with "ip6tables -t mangle -vL" I see the number of packes grow on the line of the TPROXY rule. When opening the "conntrack -E" I see only one line appearing flagged with [DESTROY]. When looking to "netstat -anp --tcp" I don't see the new port 80, only the applications port 8080.
Same problem, if temporary reconfiguring the application to port 80 and use "-j TPROXY --on-port 80" or "-j TPROXY --on-port 0", so basically testing a port forwarding to the same port - no success. Same problem, if using the advanced routing by header marking with:
ip6tables -t mangle -R PREROUTING 1 -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j TPROXY --on-port 8080 --tproxy-mark 0x2/0x3
ip -6 rule add fwmark 2 lookup 6
ip -6 route add local ::/0 dev eth0 table 6
I've loaded "modprobe xt_TPROXY" and "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding"
Any idea why this is not working on Debian Wheezy with ip6tables v1.4.14 at all? Did I forgot some very basic configuration steps (these are my first steps with ip6tables and IPv6 at all)?
Thanks Achim
PS: Some other possible solutions would be to use IPv6 DNAT/SNAT with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, like proposed here or use NAT66, like proposed here, but both technologies don't looks confidential, I can't found working examples either...

Compassionate God, you called Juan Bosco to be a teacher and father to the young: Fill us with love like his, that we may give ourselves completely to your service and to the salvation of all; through your Son Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
14 Justice is turned back,
and righteousness stands at a distance;
for truth stumbles in the public square,
and uprightness cannot enter.
15 Truth is lacking,
and whoever turns from evil is despoiled.
The Lord saw it, and it displeased him
that there was no justice.
16 He saw that there was no one,
and was appalled that there was no one to intervene;
so his own arm brought him victory,
and his righteousness upheld him.
4 Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths.
5 Lead me in your truth, and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all day long.
6 Be mindful of your mercy, O Lord, and of your steadfast love,
for they have been from of old.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your steadfast love remember me,
for your goodness' sake, O Lord!
8 Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
9 He leads the humble in what is right,
and teaches the humble his way.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. 6Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.
10And the good news must first be proclaimed to all nations. 11When they bring you to trial and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say; but say whatever is given you at that time, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death; 13and you will be hated by all because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
14 'But when you see the desolating sacrilege set up where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then those in Judea must flee to the mountains; 15someone on the housetop must not go down or enter the house to take anything away; 16someone in the field must not turn back to get a coat.

Cribbs Causeway Mall expansion approved
- 21 March 2012
- From the section Bristol
Expansion plans for a shopping centre near Bristol have been granted planning approval.
A two-storey extension and new entrance will be built at the The Mall shopping centre at Cribbs Causeway.
Centre bosses say extra space is needed to attract more big-name stores to The Mall which opened in 1998.
An extra 2,000 sq m will be added through the extension which centre managers said will help create a new "mini anchor store".
The expansion would convert some existing space and build over a service yard to create a new entrance in the east car park.

The facilities are first class as is the level of service and hospitality that is provided, and we have benefitted from our visits there in the last two summers.

The resort not only offers us first class facilities in which to train and condition our players, but the surroundings provide an excellent environment in which the team and staff can mentally prepare for the season ahead."
Russell Slade, Manager, Leyton Orient Football Club

"Mystical County, Medieval City" Kilkenny by SabrinaSummerville
Kilkenny Travel Guide: 359 reviews and 827 photos
Kilkenny is the neighbouring County to my own, Waterford, and it's City, also called Kilkenny, is also the closest City to Waterford. Because of this you might think that the people of each county are very close, but there's a great friendly rivalry between the population of the two. This is especially true when it comes to Hurling (a Gaelic game similar in ways to hockey but with wider sticks, made from ash and known as "Hurleys", and with a ball called a "sliotar"). In fairness to the Kilkenny players, they usually beat us:-(
As with Waterford County having its own city called Waterford, Kilkenny has a City called Kilkenny. Don't become confused - there are 26 Counties in the Republic of Ireland but just six cities. Indeed, many people don't know that Kilkenny is a City, even Irish people, but it is an ancient medieval city with its own City charter.
The City of Kilkenny has a name for being a party City - full of buzzing pubs and swinging clubs. Because it's such fun, it's a terrific honey pot to attract stag and hen parties. I also know of many female friends who have gone to Kilkenny to meet nice men - and succeeded. I was even at one of the weddings:-)
This is a City that, although it is fast developing, has retained a lot of its original medieval character. Take a look at Kilkenny Castle, right in the heart of the City, for example.
The streets are narrow with many interesting shops and bars, and indeed it is a fantastic place to shop. They have the biggest and best stocked Monsoon that I've ever seen anywhere.
I'm posting a pic here that I find darkly amusing. My Mum had a knee replacement last year and when I went to visit her in the hospital, which was in Kilkenny, I snapped these abandoned crutches secluded in this lovely old archway. Seems to me that even the patients throw away their crutches to have some clubbing fun here.
The City is nestled on the banks of the Nore. It's the only Irish City that's not on the coast and so trhe locals love the river as it winds its way through the county. The riverbanks here have been beautifully landscaped and the bridge in the centre of the town is an achitectural antique worth of being photographed often.

Wine Maker Notes
Whole clusters of high quality selections of Chardonnay were pumped to the press, followedby 2 to 3 days of cold settling. 55% of the juice was fermented in barrels (aged sur lies andcompleted malolactic fermentation), 45% in stainless steel (no malolactic). A restrained useof new oak lets the bright fruit flavors shine, and the stainless steel fermentation gives addedcomplexity and a rich mouth feel along with crisp, fresh fruit character. The wine was aged for7 months in French cooperage and bottled in May 2009.

Venezuelans voted Sunday to pick late leader Hugo Chavez's successor, with his handpicked political heir favored to win, but the opposition candidate cried foul, warning of plans to alter the results.
After a brief and bitter campaign, voters in the divided oil-rich nation waited for electoral authorities to announce the victor in the race between acting President Nicolas Maduro and opposition leader Henrique Capriles.
Maduro is widely expected to win the right to complete the new six-year term Chavez won in October, promising to continue oil-funded policies that cut poverty from 50 to 29 percent with popular health, education and food programs.
But Capriles, the loser in October polls, warned on Twitter that there was an "intention to change the choice expressed by the people."
The opposition leader said there were attempts to let people vote after polling stations closed. Earlier, he accused the government of pressuring civil servants to vote for Maduro.
Both candidates had pledged during the campaign to recognize the vote results.
Maduro inherited Chavez's formidable electoral machinery, which helped the late leader win successive elections in 14 years, with government employees often seen handing campaign pamphlets and attending rallies in groups.
Vice President Jorge Arreaza condemned Capriles, warning him to be "very careful."
Capriles hopes discontent over the nation's soaring murder rate, chronic food shortages, high inflation and regular power outages will give him an upset victory.
Before dying last month, Chavez endorsed Maduro as his successor. Maduro has since cast himself as the late president's "son" and sought to elevate his mentor as a saint-like figure, calling him "Christ the redeemer of the poor."
The 50-year-old former foreign minister pumped his fist as a crowd cheered him on after he stepped out of a black SUV to vote at a Caracas polling station, accompanied by his wife, former attorney general Cilia Flores.
Before placing his electronic vote's receipt in a box, he looked up at the sky and held his hands in prayer.
"When I voted, I voted for his memory," said Maduro, who was mocked by the opposition during the campaign for saying Chavez's spirit visited him in the form of a bird. "I gave my vote to this little bird that is flying freely. I voted for him."
Maduro, who was accused of exploiting Chavez's death for political gain, awaited the election results in the military barracks where the former army paratrooper was laid to rest.
Capriles voted in an upper-class neighborhood, kissing a statue of the Virgin Mary after voting and urging Venezuelans to report any election abuses.
"What we want is for this country to have a true democracy, a democracy for all, a country where we can all exercise our rights without the possibility of any reprisal," the 40-year-old state governor said.
From Venezuela's Amazon region to the Caribbean coast and the capital's hillside slums, voters cast ballots to decide the future of a nation sitting on the world's biggest proven oil reserves.
At the school where Chavez used to vote in the poor January 23 neighborhood, voters hailed his legacy.
"The commitment to the revolution is very strong," said Denis Oropeza, 33, a museum employee voting there as a truck played a recording of Chavez asking Venezuelans to vote for Maduro before cancer took his life.
Later, two of Chavez's daughters voted at the school and were applauded by the crowd. People chanted "Chavez lives! The struggle goes on!"
Across town, in a neighborhood known as a Capriles bastion, voters said they were fed up with violence that left 16,000 people dead last year and a weak economy that has people struggling to find butter and milk in grocery stores.
"I want change because the situation is not good. There's no security, the country is divided in two," said Pietro Bellacicco, 75, a retired agricultural worker.
Polling stations began to close at 2230 GMT but people will be allowed to vote as long as lines exist.
Chavez named Maduro -- a former bus driver and union activist who rose to foreign minister and vice president -- as his political heir in December before undergoing a final round of cancer surgery. He died on March 5 aged 58.
Maduro and Capriles engaged in an acrimonious campaign marked by insults, government allegations of assassination plots against the acting leader and the virtual beatification of Chavez.
Maduro called his rival a "little bourgeois" while Capriles derided the tall, broad-shouldered acting president as a "bull-chicken."
Capriles avoided criticizing Chavez, however, pledging to maintain his social "missions." He lost to Chavez by 11 points in the October 7 presidential election -- the opposition's best ever showing against him.
Opinion polls gave Maduro a lead of 10-20 points, though the last survey conducted by Datanalisis last week gave him a 9.7-point edge. The winner will be sworn in on Friday.

Ron Binz Will Continue FERC's Leadership Toward A Clean Energy Future
Binz has a history of progressive leadership from his time on Colorado. Notably, he helped orchestrate Xcel Energy's transition away from coal power and toward much cleaner alternatives, including wind and natural gas. This shift will improve Coloradans' public health while continuing to serve them with affordable, reliable power.
In his role as FERC chair, though, Binz will have less influence over these types of transactional issues. Instead, he will be a key part of the national energy policy leadership. In this role, he will focus more on national issues like transmission policy and maintaining grid-wide reliability as the country follows Colorado away from coal and towards low-carbon alternatives.
Binz has shown that he is up to this challenge of big-picture thinking. Since leaving the Colorado commission, he has embarked on a study of how regulatory models need to change to meet future challenges. Utility regulation as practiced today is a web of perverse incentives and outmoded goals based on assumptions about energy that are no longer true, which has led to Binz to conclude that, "Utility regulation needs to shift from backward-looking focus on costs to forward-looking emphasis on value and societal outcomes."
I could not agree more with this sentiment, and look forward to seeing how Binz works to affect these changes as Chair. To be clear, we likely won't see a FERC Order 3000 that redefines the role of regulators by fiat. FERC doesn't have that authority. Instead, this shift will be evident in cost allocation decisions, potential shifts in methodologies to calculate returns on equity, and rulings on how distributed generation should be compensated for the value it provides. (Admittedly, these details are excruciatingly dull. We'll try to keep highlighting why these things matter, just like we've done with Order 1000.)
Pro-consumer clean energy advocates should be optimistic about Binz's tenure. But, I think we make a mistake by putting too much emphasis on the role of regulators, since regulators' influence over electricity may be declining. Regulators only oversee industries over which they have been given jurisdiction. In this case, electric utility regulators — either state or federal — have jurisdiction over electric utilities. The issue is that many of the businesses that provide new energy technologies (like rooftop solar or battery storage) aren't electric utilities. So, the regulatory role of consumer protection and ensuring service standards doesn't happen in the same way when people switch to these new service providers.
Policymakers need to account for the shift out of the regulated energy space and into the unregulated energy space. Most important, policymakers should ensure that the unregulated energy space is defined by robust market competition with transparent data for consumers.
President Obama has made a fantastic choice for FERC chair. But, nominating Ron Binz is not enough. Congress, the President, and state policymakers all need to be thinking about not just the changing role of regulators — a conversation that Binz can lead — but also the changing nature of regulated industries.

Dear Richard, (Will we??)
I'm glad that President Obama has made "a fantastic choice" in terms of who he has nominated for FERC chair. (And, by the way, thanks for the helpful article.)
Now a central and vital question is, Will WE (Democrats and progressives) make a fantastic choice for the next Democratic nominee for president?
As I'm sure you can appreciate, this is not at all a theoretical or low-priority question, although it sure seems to be an inconvenient one for many people. It's a question that many people don't seem to want to consider or even acknowledge, at least as it relates to climate change.
What is Hillary Clinton's (clear and credible?) position on climate change? If she were president today, would she approve Keystone XL (it seems so) or deny approval? Would Hillary also have an "all of the above" energy strategy, just like the one we complain about President Obama having? Is there any sign that she wouldn't? And how about fracking, and "clean coal"? Are we destined for four (and perhaps eight) more years of "the same", beginning in 2017?
We should be vetting her and other would-be nominees starting yesterday — that's my point — but who is, really? Not CAP, as far as I can tell. Not the progressive media. Not 350.org. Not the Sierra Club. Not anybody.
And yet, if you listen to Nancy Pelosi, she tells us that she's excited and that the Democratic party is already "coalescing" behind Hillary for 2016, if I remember correctly what words she used.
So then, who (what leaders; what organizations; what media) is going to start finding out Hillary's stances in clear and concrete (and believable) terms regarding climate change? And when? Will we bother to find out and test her positions before we "coalesce" behind her, or is it too late already? Even better, will the climate and environmental movements try to enlist one or more other potentially excellent candidates who are serious about climate change, to at least make sure that climate change is an issue in the primary process and is a chief factor in who we nominate? Will/can you help lead the charge on vetting Hillary? If not, why not?
So, President Obama has made a fantastic nomination recently. Good for him. But will we??
Thanks and Be Well,
Jeff, What are your evaluation criteria for assessing the quality of a Presidential candidate vis-à-vis climate change? What should their overall climate-related policy be specifically?
Briefly, someone who is highly intelligent, (but more importantly) has high integrity, and will Lead and make the tough decisions necessary. Someone who will place the priority of addressing climate change above his or her own aspirations for being elected the next time around. Someone who realizes that a President should help inform and educate a public, not merely follow the public from behind, not merely follow the polls. Someone who will deeply understand what the scientists are saying and the gravity of the situation, and the need for big bold leadership. Someone who will match his/her actions to his/her moral rhetoric.
Aside from that, the discussion of what sorts of things, actions, and policies I'd like to see is an entirely different discussion, and I don't claim to have all the answers. But there are plenty of super-smart folks who have plenty of great and workable ideas — they aren't the limiting factor — the limiting factor (presently) is the will to lead.
That said, now a question for you: Do you agree that we should start vetting would-be Democratic nominees for president and take that process very seriously, starting now? If so, will you help spread the word and urge that to happen? These are concrete questions, yes? I think the matter is clear enough and am hoping for more folks to join in the message, not more endless debate.
Thanks for the question, Cheers,
I have stated previously I don't place much stock in promises from politicians, especially three years out from an election. Build a sufficient grass-roots, and the politicians will follow. Without the grass-roots, if they follow anyone, it will be the large campaign donors.
Superman1 (and cc Richard), on second thought, I'll add just one element of my answer to your question regarding policy, because it's relevant here to my point. Some sort of suitably-substantial price on carbon. That is, we should only nominate and support someone who is serious and credible and committed regarding getting some sort of price on carbon in a way that will be effective. Someone who will be forthright about that, and clear, and start talking about it now; someone who will not shy away from that need. Someone who will Lead, and be Clear! Someone who can make the sale to the public and who will proactively try to make the sale to the public!
One of the reasons that I mention this is that it's relevant to my question (above) to Richard Caperton. If I understand it correctly, part of Richard's expertise and role at CAP has to do with the economics of energy and energy policy. So, obviously, it would be centrally relevant to that role — to that aim — to vet Hillary Clinton and other would-be nominees regarding their stance on and commitment to the best-possible policy means of putting a price on carbon. If we nominate someone who won't lead us, effectively, to get a price on carbon, Richard and CAP can do all the work they want on such a policy, and on the need for a price on carbon, and it'll never come to pass. Fruitless. So, it seems to me, it would behoove Richard and CAP and CP and all of us, to find out where Hillary stands, in clear and concrete terms, well before too many people start considering her as the automatic front-runner and sure-fire nominee. Don't ya think? Hence, I repeat my question to Richard: Will you and CAP begin now to vet Hillary and other would-be nominees? Thanks! Jeff
Superman1, you don't seem to be understanding me at all. My point is not that a "grass-roots" isn't necessary. Quite the opposite. My point is more like this: As part of a grassroots effort, and (all of this is related) thus 350.org, CAP, the Sierra Club, and etc. etc., and you and me, and progressives, and so forth, that grassroots effort — and its leaders — should be demanding to understand the positions, in clear and concrete terms, of would-be Democratic nominees for president, including and especially Hillary Clinton (because she is already running and too many people are already Crowning her). It's not an either/or thing: either we have a grassroots effort, or we try to make darn sure that the next president is a true and committed leader when it comes to climate change. It's both, of course! In fact, the second aim is one of the key things that the first thing should aim to do. Grassroots begins with people — for example, you and me — so when I ask clearly whether you agree that we should vet would-be nominees before we nominate them, and you say 'no' (because you think the need is for a grassroots movement), you are missing the point. Indeed, to move a grassroots movement forward, your response should be 'yes', unless you think that it's entirely fruitless and hopeless to press politicians for their views because you can't trust them no matter what. (Then, let's find someone we CAN trust!) In any case, I hope this clarifies what I'm trying to get going: LET's BEGIN SERIOUSLY VETTING WOULD-BE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES NOW, before it's too late! My point is that CAP and CP, and 350.org, and the Sierra Club, and you and me and all of us should start doing that ASAP. (Sorry for the all-caps, but I want to make the point crystal clear and crisp.) Thanks and Be Well, Jeff
Real and Serious Questions: Can We Get a Response?
Referring to my Comment 1 (above), these are real and serious questions.
To put it one way, what is CAP doing, what can it do, and what will it do, to help make sure that Democrats and progressives vet would-be Democratic leaders (in particular, would-be nominees for president) regarding climate change to make darn sure that the next person we nominate and elect is the best person, and up to the task, to lead us from 2017 to 2021 to address climate change?
This is a concrete and timely question, and a very real one, and I'm posting it here in order to encourage and (in a positive sense) prompt a response that, who knows, might even be helpful.
In particular, the folks in CAP having to do with climate change and energy and energy policy ought to be considering this question front-and-center, today. Nancy Pelosi (and others) have already given their opinion that Democrats are already "coalescing behind" Hillary Clinton. Well then, if that's the case, it is certainly not "too soon" to earnestly begin the process of finding out whether she's the best one to lead the charge on climate change (???!!).
Do you — Richard, Joe, Ryan, etc. — have any thoughts on this?
Well worth reading is Ron Binz et al's 2012 report, PRACTICING RISK-AWARE ELECTRICITY REGULATION: What Every State Regulator Needs to Know [ http://www.raponline.org/event/risk-aware-regulation-ceres-webinar-highlights-strategies-for-effective-regulatory ]. As they note, their use of 'risk' also encompasses 'uncertainty' – which are very different, as Nassim Nicholas Taleb goes to great pains to explain in his new book Anti-Fragile [ http://www.fooledbyrandomness.com/ ]. Risk is quantifiable. Whether or not it has been properly measured, it refers to something that is measurable. Uncertainty is not quantifiable. Risk can be "bought down" or hedged in ways that uncertainty cannot. A standard example of risk is the sort of game you find at a casino, like roulette, where the odds are clearly known. The state of affairs that will result from a war (the outcome or outcomes), on the other hand, is uncertain, relying on too many variables, complex interactions, and unknown unknowns to be meaningfully quantified. The outcomes of risks have known probability distributions. Not so with uncertainties. So limiting planning to risk can result in "black swans" like Fukushima [operating with assumptions about the underlying probability distribution of events that were unwarranted, meaning that all they had managed to do was conceal significant uncertainties (unquantifiable indeterminacies) that ultimately came back to bite them.] Taking uncertainty into planning consideration means avoiding those options with black swan characteristics (i.e., nuclear power, GHG emitting fossil fuels) and preferring options with (currently) no identified black swan characteristics (i.e., end-use efficiency, wind and solar power).
Your reasoning then seems to be a lot like this, in a nutshell: Because you ALREADY expect that it's very likely that she will run and get the nomination and win the election, we should not bother much with trying to assess whether she is the right and best person, with respect to climate change, and should not bother much to try to enlist other potentially excellent nominees who might be (and who would at least ensure that there is discussion and debate about climate change during the primary process), but instead, we should just try to do the things that would "make me do it", 'me' being whoever is president at any given time. Your position seems to be that (even at a time when we could, and I would say should, try our best to nominate and elect a leader who would actually lead — so we don't make the same mistake twice, and find ourselves in the same position four years from now as we are in today) we should graciously accept what fate seems to be dishing up (if we let it) and be content to put a leader in office who might not really be a leader at all, especially with respect to climate change?
Is that your position? Based on your comment in response to my comments, it seems so. But is it really?
Joe, if that's your position (and I'm saying IF), that is an example of how faulty logic at one very-deep level, on a crucial issue, can very substantially undermine our ability to make progress with all of our other ideas and initiative, especially once that time comes, from 2017 to 2021 when we find ourselves with a non-leader who is not willing or up to the task.
(Note also that I'm not asserting here, at least not yet, that she's not the right person. I'm simply saying that we should do whatever we can to find out, and to enlist excellent competition before and in the primaries, and to thereby force climate change to be a central topic, and to position ourselves to pick the best person, and so forth.)
I'm astonished. I half-expected you folks to say that it's too early to start worrying about would-be nominees for 2016, but here you are giving the opposite answer: Hillary is likely the one, so we may as well resign ourselves to that idea and continue for the next eight or twelve years as we are today, having to fight with the leader who we ourselves put into a leadership role.
Care to clarify?
Thanks, Be Well,
Joe/others, please see my response below. I somehow put it into the wrong spot. Thanks, Jeff

Some Considerations in the Design of Wide-Dynamic-Range Audio Digitizing Systems
Psychoacoustic tests have indicated the performance requirements for audio digitizing systems. Their design, however, is not straight-forward. Performance limitations are set by economics, limitations on recorder bit rate, imperfections in converter quantizing characteristics, amplifier noise and distortion, aliasing, anti-aliasing filters, timing jitter, glitches, ranging errors and other subtle sources of distortion. Unrealistic user specifications can exact a severe economic penalty.

The 50-year-old has been linked with the Switzerland job when his contract expires next summer but he insists he is focused on the BiancocelestiLazio boss Vladimir Petkovic has shrugged off talk he could quit the club at the end of the season after his side's 2-0 win over Legia Warsaw.
Goals from Brayan Perea and Felipe Anderson secured the Biancoelesti's place in the next phase of the Europa League on Thursday with one round of group stage matches to play.
Petkovic - who has been linked as a possible replacement for Ottmar Hitzfeld as Switzerland coach when his contract expires next summer - insists he is fully focused on Lazio's fortunes this season as they prepare for a crunch Serie A clash with Napoil.
"The team showed character, joy and desire, and the ability to establish themselves on the road. All this is important," the 50-year-old told reporters after the win in Poland.
"I'm happy with this victory and I can say we will do everything to win the next game. I'm not advertising myself to anyone, I have a contract with Lazio until June and my heart and mind are focused on Lazio."

We bought a house today, or rather put a offer in on one wich was readily accepted. The only thing we have to do now is have them change thier closing date from the end of June to the end of May so we can move in before the people who bought are house move in.

I am a SW/FW Engineering Technician at Lexmark. I have some programming knowledge in VB.net thru earning my Associate In Applied Science Degree in Computer Programming. I enjoy writing programs, its a challenge and I love a challenge. I use a lot of spread sheets at work and I am trying to write software to make my job easier and more efficient. I am trying to learn C# and want to get away from VB. My ultimate goal is to develope my own software.

When you make no sense drunk, yet more sense than normal. When you cant bare to throw away empty alcohol vessels and stack them for your audience. When drooling while sleeping is cool. When you sleep in others beds without intent. When your fingers twitch at parties. When you randomly blurt out sentences that make no sense to others. When Tequila is breakfast.
Oh my god he was out all night. When I came in he was sleeping on the floor and the oven was still on. Such a Feeney.
