In the comments section to this post, let me know what you think of The Power Line's new look. I thought you would like to see some actual images from Calhoun County on the header.
The Wind Blows, Power Goes Out in WV
Here's the account from the Charleston Gazette of how 20-30 mile per hour gusts were "knocking out power to thousands of West Virginians" on Monday.
The WV PSC will probably give both AEP and FirstEnergy significant rate increases in their current base rate cases for right of way maintenance. Monday's local blackouts indicate, however, that WV's aging electrical distribution system is still very brittle.
Keep in mind that this was just wind, on a relatively warm day. There was no rain or snow, and still there were thousands of customers without power.
Too bad WV government "leaders" aren't taking a tip from New York on building real reliable electrical systems:
Under an innovative program to create at least 10 "microgrids" (independent community-based electric distributions systems) statewide, the State will launch NY Prize, a $40 million competition, to help build community-scale power grids for areas with approximately 40,000 residents. Microgrids can operate in tandem with existing power supply during normal conditions, but will disconnect and operate as an independent power system to keep the lights on during an emergency.
New Testimony Filed in PATH Cost Recovery Cases at FERC
AEP and FirstEnergy want $121 million (and more) from all rate payers in PJM Interconnection to cover their stranded capital costs (the abandonment case) and operating costs (the formal challenges case) on the failed PATH transmission project. Remember that this boondoggle was created by the Energy Policy Act, inspired by the Cheney administration, and passed by the Republican Congress in 2005. The 2005 Energy Policy Act allowed certain anointed transmission projects to charge all their costs to rate payers, even if they were never built – a good deal for power companies, not so good for rate payers. You can't find a better example of money for nothing.
While I am still technically an intervenor in the PATH abandonment case at FERC, I am no longer an active participant. Last Friday was the deadline for testimony by the remaining active participants in the cases: Keryn Newman and Ali Haverty in the formal challenge case and a group of state public service commissions and consumer advocates (with the conspicuous exception of the WV PSC) as well as the staff of FERC itself.
Pro se intervenor Keryn Newman filed testimony on behalf of herself and my neighbor Alison Haverty in their formal challenge to expenses charged by PATH to rate payers from 2009 to 2011. As they have all along, Keryn and Ali maintained in their testimony that PATH charges for lobbying and fake front groups should be borne by AEP/FE shareholders and not PJM rate payers. Here is a link to their testimony.
FERC staff analysts also filed their testimony last Friday. Staff witness Jean Miller appeared to agree with Keryn and Ali that PATH had illegally charged rate payers for their PR and lobbying costs. Keryn's and Ali's challenges only covered the years 2009-2011. Ms. Miller testified that PATH's 2008 costs should also be refunded to rate payers. Here is a link to Ms. Miller's testimony. FERC expert Craig Deters also filed testimony that fills out the evidence Ms. Miller presented. Here is a link to his testimony.
Staff witness Robert Keyton attacked testimony provided earlier by AEP/FE concerning the return on equity and debt costs that they were proposing the charge rate payers. Most of this discussion is pretty abstruse and, as Mr. Keyton himself points out, largely hypothetical, because the front companies for PATH created by AEP/FE never produced anything and never borrowed any money, and are now defunct. Here is a link to Mr. Keyton's testimony.
The state agencies also filed some excellent testimony by transmission expert Peter Lanzalotta. Mr. Lanzalotta basically testified that the AEP/FE should have pulled the plug on PATH after the East Virginia State Corporation Commission rejected the companies' claim that PATH was needed to resolve reliability problems on the PJM system.
The summary in the introduction to Mr. Lanzalotta's testimony tells the tale:
Mr. Lanzalotta concludes that PATH's recommendation to Virginia that PATH be allowed to proceed while waiting for the 2010 RTEP to determine the need for the Project was not prudent.
If PATH had successfully recommended that it would be prudent to suspend the Project at the beginning of 2010, at least a year earlier than it actually was, then the abandonment costs would have been about $29 million lower than they actually were.
Beyond PATH's 2010 recommendation that it be allowed to proceed, the escalation of PATH's costs from its inception through its multiple delays were in excess of typical transmission cost escalation over the same period. Based on the Handy Whitman Cost Trends for Electric Utility Construction, the amount of excessive spending on the PATH Project is estimated to be $4.3 million.
The reference to prudence is important, because FERC rules require that rate payers can only be charged with costs that were prudently incurred by the power company. Mr. Lanzalotta is saying here that more than $30 million for which AEP/FE want to charge rate payers violates FERC rules, and must be paid only by AEP/FE shareholders.
This point has been made repeatedly throughout the case by me and by other intervenors. Mr. Lanzalotta sums it up nicely. You can see his testimony at this link.
Those of you who fought the PATH line in the WV PSC will appreciate the testimony of Randall Woolridge, on behalf of the state agencies. Mr. Woolridge provides an analysis of the exorbitant legal costs for which AEP/FE are trying to charge rate payers. The power companies had the gall to redact important information from the records they provided to the state agencies in discovery. Mr. Woolridge states that his analysis was incomplete, because he only received the unredacted copies of lawyers' records two days before his testimony was due.
The final hearing in this case, dockets ER09-1256 and ER12-2708, isn't until March 24, 2015. A final decision by the Commission is due on July 31, 2015.
WI PSC Sides with Power Company Against Innovation While a German Town Takes Matters into Its Own Hands
The contrast between this week's decision by the Wisconsin PSC to support Wisconsin Energy's assault on its solar generating customers and the remarkable progress being made in Wildpoldsried, Bavaria couldn't be clearer.
Here's a link to Greentech Media's report on the WI PSC decision.
The Wisconsin Public Service Commission recently voted 2-1 to allow We Energies to increase fixed charges on all residential bills, decreasing the financial benefit for customers who use less energy. The PSC also granted the utility permission to pay less for the power generated by customers with rooftop solar.
But the story doesn't end there. Cleantech advocates are now preparing to bring suit against the two commissioners who voted in favor of the changes, and they are confident the decision will be overturned.
Last week's vote increases monthly fixed charges for We Energies customers from roughly $9 to $16, making them among the highest in the country. The variable rate will be reduced from $0.139 per kilowatt-hour to $0.1349 per kilowatt-hour.
The approved change in net metering will switch the program from annual netting to monthly netting, and reduce the price credited for excess generation from the current 14 cents per kilowatt-hour to 3 cents per kilowatt-hour.
All customers with solar systems on their property will also have to pay We Energies $3.80 per kilowatt per month. The average solar system size in Wisconsin is 4 kilowatts, bringing average annual fees to $182 per year.
Meanwhile, in Bavaria:
The story began in 1997, when Wildpoldsried mayor Arno Zengerle and the city council decided they wanted to revitalize the community and encourage growth without incurring debt. The town adopted the Innovative Leadership Plan, WIR-2020, to reinvent Wildpoldsried based on renewable energy, green building, and water resource protection. As part of the plan the town set a goal of producing 100 percent of its electricity from renewable energy by 2020.
Things happened much faster than planned — 17 years later, the town now has five biogas plants, almost 5 MW of solar PV, 11 wind turbines with a total capacity of more than 12 MW, a biomass district heating network, three small hydro power plants, and 2,100 square meters of solar thermal systems. While the first two wind turbines were partly financed by a small grant from the state of Bavaria, local residents — many of them dairy farmers — have financed all following turbines. Those turbines, which generated over 17,000 MWh of electricity in 2013, have a payback of 10 years, and then generate 80 percent of the earnings of the dairy farms.
All public buildings, 120 private residences, and 4 companies are connected to the district heating system. The biomass for the system is all sourced from waste wood from local forests and generates 8.2 MMBtu of heat each year. The majority of the PV systems in the town are on private residences — about 200 homes now have rooftop solar. Nine municipal buildings including the primary school, recycling facility, and sports center also have PV systems. The electricity generated from the solar, wind, and biomass is sold to AÜW under a fixed-price 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA).
Wildpoldsried invested in microgrid control technologies that allowed small scale renewable producers to capture the full value of their product, instead of feeding it into the grid where power companies and speculators skimmed off the real value.
The key to the smart grid is a self-organizing automation system called SOEASY, which balances supply and demand to keep the grid stable. It is IRENE's brain, so to speak. SOEASY considers weather, electricity prices, power quality, and other factors when deciding whether to send electricity into the grid or to storage. It's actually more complex than the name makes it sound. SOEASY contains five different software modules — the personal energy agent, balance master, area administrator, network transport agent, and energy police.
- Personal energy agent: Every "prosumer" in the town has a personal energy agent. This small device allows the energy producer to dictate how much power he or she wants to sell, at what time, and at what minimum price, in 15-minute intervals. It is, in some sense, a distributed energy resource marketplace on the scale of one town embedded in a far larger grid.
- Balance master: The balance master is installed at AÜW and decides which personal energy agent offers it will accept to cover demand in the grid. It can plan adjustments up to a day in advance, and takes into account different parameters such as weather changes.
- Area administrator: The area administrator helps AÜW maintain network stability if too much energy is being fed into the grid. The area administrator can modify the input from different sources via commands to their personal energy agents, can send energy to storage, or can adjust the voltage through the variable transformer.
- Network transport agent: The network transport agent (NTA) collects data from the energy producers, consumers, and the grid, and supplies it to the area administrator, which intervenes if maximum voltage is exceeded, and to the balance master, which decides what power can be accepted without overloading the grid.
- Energy Police: The energy police makes sure that all energy producers supply the power promised by their personal energy agents, and that no power is illegally siphoned off.
This is real investment in the future, and it increases the reliability of the increasingly unstable centralized grid with which the local microgrids must still interact. Keep in mind that this is a town of 2600 people. They generate $7 million dollars a year selling their electricity.
WV politicians looking to revitalize the economies of WV's small towns need to wake up and take a good look at what the people of Wildpoldsried have done for themselves.
Good Overview of Denmark's Renewable Energy Situation, and Comparison with Germany
Here is a link to an interesting overview of Denmark's renewable energy plans. The comparison with Germany is somewhat unfair, because Denmark also has coal-fired electrical generation, and the Germans have a definite plan to phase our their coal plants. I also find the title of the story, "Brave little Denmark leads war against coal" to be condescending and, well, belittling.
The story pulls together a number of threads from my series on my recent trip to Denmark, and fills in a little more history.
The title page of the article has a great picture of a very common sight in the Danish countryside.
The yellow crop in the foreground is rape, which the Europeans use for ethanol production. Note also that these are not monster wind turbines, but smaller ones probably financed by and serving local farms or a rural village.
Anya Schoolman on Decentralized Power
Anya Schoolman is the genius behind the Community Power Network which has built solar generation in communities in the District of Columbia and three states, including two community solar co-ops (so far) in WV. Anya is also one of the leading experts in the world on building community-based solar power generation.
Here on The Power Line, I have been posting a little bit (here and here) about the takeover of Pepco, the retail utility in DC, by nuclear giant Exelon. Exelon, with its numerous nuclear plants, which are often forced to take negative prices for electricity when renewable resources flood the grid, has led the battle against decentralized power wherever it rears its head.
Here is a link to Anya Schoolman's testimony in the DC PSC Exelon/Pepco merger case. The testimony looks long, at 455 pages, but most of that is appendixes, which you can skip. Anya's testimony is only 64 double spaced pages long.
Her testimony includes a history of DC Sun (well worth reading in itself), an account of how local utilities have to change to effectively handle new high penetrations of decentralized power and how obsolete holding companies like Exelon are desperately trying to hold onto their control of the grid.
Anya's testimony is well worth the read. You will get an education from one of the most knowledgeable experts on decentralized power and one of the most effective community organizers in the US. Anya is a treasure and a teacher to us all.
DoE Loan Program Turning Profit
Remember all the Republican propaganda about the collapse of Solyndra? Remember all the blame that was heaped on the Obama Administration by Fox News for the Department of Energy renewable power loan program that was created by a Republican majority Congress and the Cheney administration?
Well, guess what? The program is a big success. Here's how a new NPR report describes the program now:
Overall, the agency has loaned $34.2 billion to a variety of businesses, under a program designed to speed up development of clean-energy technology. Companies have defaulted on $780 million of that — a loss rate of 2.28 percent. The agency also has collected $810 million in interest payments, putting the program $30 million in the black.
When Congress created the loan program under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, it was never designed to be a moneymaker. In fact, Congress imagined there would be losses and set aside $10 billion to cover them.
Looks like Solyndra was just a minor blip and the Obama Administration has again rescued a floundering Cheney project.

Packers' failed read-option solution
Green Bay stopped 49ers' read-option attack but was gashed via the air
Updated: September 8, 2013, 9:45 PM ETBy Matt Williamson | ESPN Insider
AP Photo/Marcio Jose SanchezColin Kaepernick didn't do much on the ground, but shredded Green Bay through the air.
A major storyline going into the Green Bay Packers game with the San Francisco 49ers was how Green Bay's defense would deal with the 49ers' read-option running attack led by Colin Kaepernick. The 49ers gashed the Packers' defense in the playoffs last season to the tune of 323 yards on the ground in 45-31 victory. Even though the Packers lost 34-28 on Sunday, did they find a blueprint to slowing down the read-option?

Home Opinion TRIPLE OT THRILLER
Tony Adame
Staff Writer
Western Baptist College guard Ben Sisler took only one shot Tuesday night against Eastern Oregon University.
But what a shot.
Sisler's tip-in off an Eric Fiegi miss with .6 seconds left in triple overtime gave NAIA Division II No. 2 ranked WBC a 110-108 victory and left EOU wondering how they lost a game where it seemed, at several different times, as if victory was certain.
"To be honest with you I thought we had them beat three times," EOU head coach Ryan Looney said. "We played hard. That's what we can take from this. We played hard and we never quit."
For Looney and the Mountaineers, the surest statistical sign of their defeat will have been their inability to hit free throws.
EOU went 27-for-47 from the line for a less than stellar 57 percent, including several key misses at the end of regulation and the second overtime that could have sealed the game.
"Free throws were probably the biggest thing," EOU freshman guard Mark Carollo said. "If we make a few free throws down the stretch we win the game."
In the first half the Mountaineers never trailed, leading by as many as 12 points before a Western Baptist run right before halftime cut the lead to 38-35 going into the break.
In the second half, EOU (3-10, 2-4) and Western Baptist (19-1, 6-1 CCC) played to 19 ties and changed leads nine times, working a raucous Quinn Coliseum crowd into a frenzy until Sisler's game-winning tip.
It was a game that featured virtuoso individual performances from the 6-foot-9 Fiegi, the nation's leading scorer and Carollo. Fiegi had 30 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks. Carollo had 28 points. His matriculation, at this point in the season, seems complete.
"Sometimes you can get caught up in the flow of a game like that and you don't run the offense," Fiegi said. "In the second half we were able to get it together."
According to WBC head coach Justin Sherwood, it was just another night in the Cascade Collegiate Conference.
"When you're on the road in our conference it's a war every night," Sherwood said. "That's the CCC. That's why we have three teams in the top 12.
"That's why when No. 2 comes knocking on your door you play like EOU did."
Western Baptist's Jeff Dunn led all scorers with 33 points and EOU post Chad Fairbanks had 20 points and 11 rebounds before fouling out.
Following the game, EOU forward Patrick Brisbane tried to sum up his team's state of mind after the close defeat.
"It hurts," Brisbane said. "I felt we deserved to win. I felt we were the better team tonight."
EOU travels to Southern Oregon University for a Friday matchup. The Mountaineers play Saturday at Oregon Tech. Game times are 7:30 p.m.
Larson 1-4 9-10 12, Worcester 2-6 0-0 5, Dunn 9-24 11-14 33, Roberts 2-7 2-4 6, Fiegi 11-16 8-12 30, Sisler 1-1 0-0 2, Worcester 1-2 0-0 3, Morris 2-2 0-0 4, Stone 0-1 0-0 0, Morris 4-13 0-0 11, Steed 2-3 0-0 4. Totals 35-78 28-36 110.
Carollo 10-21 5-7 28, Gilbertson 1-3 2-7 4, Collins 4-6 4-6 15, Browne 5-12 2-2 12, Fairbanks 7-14 4-8 20, Pennington 0-2 3-8 3, Mackay 2-2 2-2 7, Brisbane 6-9 5-7 17, Bomberger 1-3 0-0 2. Totals 36-72 27-47 108.
Halftime score EOU 38, WBC 35. Three-pointers WBC 12-26 (Dunn 4-8), EOU 9-19 (Carollo 3-8). Fouled out Collins, Browne, Fairbanks, Larson, Worcester. Total fouls WBC 33, EOU 30. Technical fouls Fairbanks. Turnovers WBC 12, EOU 22. Rebounds WBC 39 (Fiegi 12), EOU 54 (Fairbank 11). Assists WBC 17 (Larson 5), EOU 21 (Collins 5).

USC's firing of Lane Kiffin was virtually inevitable
USC's firing of football coach Lane Kiffin wasn't much of a surprise once the Trojans lost to visiting Washington State on Sept. 7.
Seattle Times college football reporter
USC finally did the inevitable in the sleepy early-Sunday hours, canning football coach Lane Kiffin, who was pretty much a dead man walking after losing to Washington State three weekends earlier.
The autopsies will suggest many different reasons why the whole thing didn't work, and Kiffin apologists (he and his next of kin might be the only ones remaining) will point to the Trojans' scholarship sanctions as a primary culprit. Don't believe it.
In the last generation, there are two programs in the league that got caned severely by the conference or NCAA: Washington and USC.
Today, the Trojans' position in recovery from the sanctions exactly parallels where the Huskies were in the season of 1995. The UW had been through two seasons of bowl ineligibility (1993-94), and it had suffered a loss of 10 initial scholarships (from 25 to 15) in the recruiting classes of 1994 and 1995. (USC has another one of those to serve next February.)
How did Washington do in that '95 season? It finished in a tie for the league title with, coincidentally, USC, losing out on a Rose Bowl berth because of a tiebreaking formula. USC had to come from a 21-0 fourth-quarter deficit to a 21-all tie with the Huskies.
In other words, Washington managed pretty well. It had depth problems in later years, but nothing rivaling USC's systemic collapse.
Kiffin has alluded to depth problems hurting the defense in a world of hurry-up offense. Which would be a viable argument if it weren't for the fact it is the Trojans' offense, coached by him, that has been so unproductive.
What We Learned
Pat Haden: King of the midseason hook. The USC athletic director cashiered basketball coach Kevin O'Neill on the first weekend of Pac-12 play in January, and now Kiffin. Not that this one was undeserved, just that it is odd, in that Haden is an old-school guy, thoughtful and prone to being conservative.
Some things just don't add up. Most reasonable minds would say that the gap has closed between Stanford and Washington State from a year ago (even if it is still considerable). Yet the Cougars lost by a touchdown in Palo Alto in 2012, and got blistered 55-17 Saturday night. Can Kevin Hogan, the Stanford quarterback, make that much difference?
In the desert, USC, which hadn't yet allowed an offense 300 yards, gave up 612 to Arizona State, leaving ASU coach Todd Graham to say, "For the first time since I've been here, tempo destroyed the other team."
Washington is right on schedule. Unfortunately, so are its next three opponents. If the Huskies were going to make this a big season, they had to start 4-0. Done. Now they get Stanford and Oregon teams that have exceeded preseason billing, and an ASU squad that found itself against USC.
The league record book may need updating. Oregon's Pac-12 mark for points is 645, and it already has 239. If it wins the Pac-12 North and plays 14 games, that means the Ducks need only average 40.6 the rest of the way.
Meanwhile, Oregon State's Sean Mannion has 21 touchdown passes (USC's Matt Barkley threw 39 in 2011) and Brandin Cooks has caught nine (Washington's Mario Bailey had 18 in the 1991 championship year).
This week
UCLA meets Utah in Salt Lake City on Thursday night, while Washington's visit to Stanford is the headliner Saturday. Arizona State, which has returned to the polls, meets Notre Dame in Arlington, Texas.

Building off a successful line of noise cancelling headphones already available, the Panasonic RP-HC56 earbud-style headphones reduce outside noise by 92% (22dB) at 200Hz including a passive noise isolation by utilizing an insulating effect.

Mather lifts Cubs over Cardinals
As Jason Motte walked off the mound, all he could do was tip his cap.
The Associated Press
As Jason Motte walked off the mound, all he could do was tip his cap.
Joe Mather's two-run single with two outs in the ninth inning lifted the Chicago Cubs to a 3-2 comeback win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night.
The Cardinals closer had the Cubs down to their final strike when Mather, a former Cardinal, grounded a 2-2 slider up the middle, scoring Bryan LaHair and Geovany Soto.
LaHair battled Motte (1-1) for 12 pitches before drawing a one-out walk. Motte then walked Soto, before Steve Clevenger's grounder moved the runners up to set the plate for Mather.
"I made some really good pitches, he just did a good job of fouling them off and keeping himself in the at-bat," Motte said of LaHair. "He stayed in there long enough and I ended up throwing ball four."
Cardinals manager Mike Matheny visited Motte after the back-to-back walks, hoping to slow him down.
"You don't want him to keep throwing and throwing without really thinking, slowing, stopping, breathing a little bit," Matheny said. "I felt real good about him getting out of that, and he's gonna get us out of that almost all the time."
Rafael Dolis (1-1) picked up the win in relief.
Jaime Garcia outdueled Matt Garza, who held St. Louis to two runs and four hits in seven innings, striking out five and walking three.
"My job is to go out there and take my team as deep as I can," Garza said. "Tonight, I didn't think I was going get out of the fifth."
Garcia threw just 85 pitches before departing with two outs in the eighth, striking out just four batters and walking one.
He's given up two earned runs over his last two starts, working seven innings or longer each time.
"I was able to keep the ball down and control the counts pretty good," Garcia said. "We take a lot of things from this game, definitely."
Garza has allowed three earned runs or fewer in his last 14 home starts, the longest streak by a Cubs pitcher since Mark Prior had 16 in a row over the 2004 and 2005 seasons.
Skip Schumaker led off the fourth with an infield single and went to third on Matt Holliday's double down the left-field line. Schumaker scored on Carlos Beltran's groundout, and Holliday scored on Yadier Molina's sacrifice fly.
The Cubs improved to 4-7 at Wrigley Field and won for just the second time the eight games.
Holliday had two hits and scored a run for St. Louis. Schumaker, making just his second start of the season, singled and scored the other run.
Garcia gave up a first-inning run when Alfonso Soriano's sacrifice fly scored Darwin Barney, but he limited Chicago to just four hits over his final 6 2-3 innings. He was aided by double plays in the fifth and sixth.
"That's something I've been working on," Garcia said. "Every time somebody gets on base, that's what I want to do. I want to make them hit it on the ground and get out of the inning as quickly as possible."
Garcia allowed an eighth-inning single to speedster Tony Campana, who stole second and third off reliever Mitchell Boggs. But Boggs escaped the threat by getting Starlin Castro on a roller to short.
Darwin Barney singled twice, walked, and scored the Cubs' only run. Castro legged out an infield single in the first, increasing his hitting streak to 11 games. He's reached base in 56 of his last 57 games.
The punchless Cubs went homerless for the ninth straight game, their longest drought since June 30 to July 13, 2007. Chicago is last in the majors with just five homers on the season.
NOTES: An MRI on Cardinals outfielder Jon Jay's right shoulder revealed no structural damage. Jay injured the shoulder when he crashed into the fence on Thursday in St. Louis. Manager Mike Matheny said Jay may be able to pinch-run during the series against the Cubs.

Katherine (Katy) Basile is a partner and chair of the Trademark Practice Group, Novak Druce + Quigg LLP.
The law firm, Novak Druce + Quigg LLP, is an intellectual property boutique focusing on complex intellectual property matters with offices across the United States.
Residence: Ladera (unincorporated San Mateo County).
Education: JD, UCLA School of Law; BS and BA, German, UC Irvine; Education Abroad Program, Universitaet Goettingen, Germany.
Boards/volunteer: National chair, International Trademark Association (INTA) Saul Lefkowitz Moot Court, 2012-13; member, European Communities Trademark Association (ECTA), Law Committee; board member, Peninsula Water Polo Club; program volunteer, Menlo-Atherton High School Academy; AFS host family volunteer.
First job: My real first job was filing for an insurance company as part of the work-study program at Laguna Beach High School, which convinced me that I wanted to go to college! My next job was cleaning houses, which reinforced why I should finish college. From there I did a stint as a reporter for the Costa Mesa News and the Newport Ensign, local newspapers, and then I was hired by the AFT Local 1911 to help run a recall campaign targeted at the school board for the Coast Community College District. That job taught me many lessons that I have used throughout my career as an attorney (And although the recall election itself was not successful, in the next regular election, three new school board members were elected).
Proudest achievement: Being sworn into the U.S. Supreme Court, reaching incredibly satisfying resolutions in my pro bono cases, and watching the young women attorneys I have mentored move from associate to partner or to in-house counsel with leadership responsibilities.

Emma Meston - Art director and jewel designer, founder of Ikone Paris
in Women
Emma Meston is the owner of Icone Paris. From a very young age, Emma, whose father sold antics, was fascinated by ancient extremely refined objects. She immersed herself in different cultures and traditions through countless trips in the world. Fascinated by women's ornaments and beauty, she decided to make a living out of her lifelong passion. She launched her first brand Almaya Marceau, revealing to the public what she has imagined for years: baroque and sensual jewelry made with metal lace. She is the creator of this very special know-how which became quickly renowned in the luxury industry.
In 2003, she developed jewels for Christian Lacroix's haute couture fashion shows. She also created limited edition lines of jewelry for Caron. Nike placed a special order and jewelry shoes were exposed in the VO gallery for the Parisian retro-basket event. In 2006 Chivas asked her to customize their vintage bottle. Her work was exhibited for several years in the best Palaces of Paris such as the Ritz, the Crillon and the George V four Seasons hotels. Her favorite piece, her icone, is a tiara-crown representing French craftsmanship. It was exposed in the fashion week in Milan and appeared twice at the Cannes Film Festival.
Two years after its creation, she was present in more than fourty prestigious places around the world. She chose however to return to a more personal way to meet clients and be in tune with their wishes especially for women preparing their wedding. Through Ikone Paris Emma's ambition today is to reveal the best of and sublimate women. She also works closely with personnal shoppers, and is still referenced and suggested in the nicest palaces for the quality of her service.

Today Is The Day That You Can Be Born Again

Scripture Text : John 3:1-21
Key Verses : John 3:5-8
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Davis not even listed on injury report
HOUSTON -- New England Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi was listed as probable Wednesday on the first injury report of Super Bowl week, and tight end Christian Fauria and running back Patrick Pass were also given a 75 percent chance of playing in Sunday's game against Carolina.
The Panthers listed no players on their injury report, which is updated throughout the week, meaning running back Stephen Davis should be able to fully participate in practice. He injured his left quadricep muscle in a divisional playoff game.
The extra week off since the NFC championship game "helped out a whole lot," Davis said earlier this week. "Just being able to rest and get treatment. That was a big advantage to me."
Bruschi hurt his right leg near the end of the Patriots' victory over the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Championship game. Fauria was listed with a leg injury, and Pass with an ankle injury.
The team does not divulge details of injuries.
"It's going to take a lot to keep me out," Bruschi said after arriving in Houston. "Just to be out there on that nice green field to play with this team is something I'm going to make sure that I'm going to do. They might have to tie me up to keep me out of this one."

FAIRFIELD, CA – A 22-year-old Vallejo woman says crystal meth is the reason she abandoned her baby in a gas station restroom Saturday.
Joia Hukill spoke exclusively with News10 in the Solano County Jail, saying she "forgot" her baby in the bathroom when she went in to smoke meth.
Hukill said she was already high when surveillance cameras caught her pushing a stroller into the bathroom.
A few minutes later, cameras catch her walking out, without the stroller.
"If I was clean, it wouldn't have happened," Hukill said.
She was arrested Saturday night after her friend told her she was on the news.
"So she said, 'Do you want me to call to turn you in?'" said Hukill. "And I said, 'I guess, I don't care,' so they picked me up."
Hukill says she doesn't remember taking her son into the bathroom.
"I couldn't feel," she said. "When you're smoking dope or slamming dope, you don't feel."
The Solano County District Attorney's Office is still determining what charges Hukill will face.
Child Protective Services took the 16-month-old child, a boy, and Hukill says her new baby, a 3-week-old, is with another relative.
When asked if this was a wake-up call for her to stop abusing drugs, Hukill responded, "I'm not going to promise something I can't. I can't promise you that I'm always going to be clean, 'cause I don't know."

Gender has never bothered me - Claire Williams
Claire Williams wants to take the Williams team back to the glory days of the 1980s and 1990s Sutton Images Enlarge Claire Williams insists she has never been fazed by being a woman in the male-dominated sport of Formula One. Williams is deputy team principal to her father Sir Frank in the team he formed in 1977, but is one of a limited number of women in the sport in a similar level. Sauber's Monisha Kaltenborn became the first female team principal in Formula One in 2012 but remains a unique case, though Williams admits she has never believed she has been looked upon any differently due to her gender. "Everyone is interested in the female element, which is really weird because I've...

This technique is one of the basic know-hows, when it comes to finishing raw edges with a bias tape. It can be used on huge variety of projects- from clothing to household items.
Bias tape or bias binding is a narrow strip of fabric, cut on the bias (UK cross-grain). The strip's fibers, being at 45 degrees to the length of the strip, makes it stretchier as well as more fluid and more drapeable compared to a strip that is cut on the grain.
Before applying the bias, it is a good practise to prep it by stretching it under the steam (using your iron). It is trickier when the bias tape is pre-made (commercial) as you might have to fold and press it back to shape. In case of a pre-made tape, try pulling it lengthwise to stretch. The prepped bias will be narrower than unprepped version, but it will be ready to apply to the garment without the risk of it pulling the fabric or distorting the shape later on. It is absolutely vital to prep the bias for finishing curved edges, like armholes and necklines. However in this tutorial we will be looking at finishing the edges with 90 corners,to easily achieve a neat mitered corner look.

VIENNA (Reuters) - Six world powers and Iran began their fifth round of nuclear negotiations on Tuesday in hopes of salvaging prospects for a deal over Tehran's disputed atomic activity by a July deadline.
With time running short if a risky extension of the nuclear talks is to be avoided, negotiators face huge challenges in bridging gaps in positions over the future scope of Iran's nuclear programme in less than five weeks.
Without a deal, the Middle East would face the risk of another war if Israel - which views a nuclear-armed Iran as an existential threat - attacks the Islamic Republic's nuclear installations.
Tehran denies having any military intentions with its nuclear energy campaign, saying it is geared towards electricity generation and producing radio-isotopes for medical treatments.
The talks between Iran and the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany in the Austrian capital Vienna are expected to last until Friday and resume some time next month ahead of the July 20 deadline.

Amazon.com Inc. cut ties Monday with Colorado online businesses that help it sell products because of a new state law aimed at getting out-of-state, online retailers to collect sales tax.
The move hurts businesses — many of them small, home-based operations — that earn money by using their Web sites and blogs to link customers to online retailers. Colorado has at least 4,200 such businesses, known as affiliates or associates, accounting for about 5,000 jobs, and most of them rely on Amazon to some degree, according to their trade group, the Performance Marketing Association.
The group's executive director, Rebecca Madigan, said some get only about 10 percent of their revenue from Amazon but others are totally reliant on it.
Colorado's largest affiliate, ShopAtHome.com, works with 5,000 online merchants and will be able to recover from the lost business, president Marc Braunstein said. But many "mom and pop" affiliates will suffer.
"There are a lot of people who are going to be hurt, and that's a shame," Braunstein said.
In an e-mail to affiliates, Amazon said the new sales tax regulations, which took effect last week, were burdensome and unlike rules in any other state. An Amazon spokeswoman declined to elaborate.
The company previously cut off affiliates in two other states that passed online sales tax laws, Rhode Island and North Carolina. Those states said online retailers had a presence there through affiliates and therefore had to pay sales tax. At the urging of affiliates, Colorado lawmakers took a different approach that attempted to leave affiliates out of the fight.
The law here says retailers can either collect sales tax or send customers an annual statement telling them how much they spent and how much sales tax they should pay the state on their own. The state would be able to force retailers to turn over customer sales records to enforce the law.
Democratic lawmakers, including Gov. Bill Ritter, criticized Amazon for cutting off affiliates, with some calling it "corporate bullying." They said Amazon will still be on the hook to either collect the tax or tell their customers to pay it.
"They've done nothing here but spit in our face," Senate Majority Leader John Morse said.
Braunstein said he was also puzzled by the move and wondered if the company was trying to make some kind of point.
Republican lawmakers, who opposed the online sales tax bill and other tax hikes to balance the budget, criticized Democrats for pushing ahead with it.
"It's exactly what we said would happen. They're going to put people out of work. It's a game of chicken with people and their jobs, and they lost," said House Minority Leader Mike May, R-Parker.
Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray, said lawmakers should move to repeal the law.
"Their actions have had real-life consequences for real-life Colorado citizens," he said.
