JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — As Mississippi Power Co. draws closer to collecting for the $3 billion-plus Kemper County plant it's building, a customer of the company wants the state Supreme Court to rule utilities can't raise rates for power plants before they start making electricity.
Customer challenges Miss. Power Kemper rates
Thomas Blanton, a Mississippi Power customer from Hattiesburg, said 2008's Baseload Act is an unconstitutional tax.
"We're putting up money and receiving nothing in return, and that's not what the American way is supposed to be," Blanton said after Monday's hearing. He said an increase could cost his oil and gas business more than $10,000 a month.
Blanton's lawyer, Mike Adelman, argued before seven Supreme Court Justices that it's unconstitutional for the state to require customers to pay for power plant construction, "to take the place of what traditionally should be the investor," when there's no guarantee the plant will work as planned.
Blanton got his day in court after intervening in a case Mississippi Power filed seeking Public Service Commission approval to raise rates. The regulatory body denied the company's request last year to begin collecting money for the plant, and Mississippi Power then appealed to the high court. But the PSC and Mississippi Power settled Thursday, with the commission agreeing to consider a new request to raise rates during construction. Mississippi Power asked for a 21 percent rate increase Friday. That's $172 million a year, which would raise the typical residential rate by more than $20 a month.
The commission isn't obligated under the settlement to grant the increase, but agreed to rule on it within 80 days of it being filed.
The company and PSC told justices that it was too soon to rule on Blanton's challenge because he wasn't paying for the plant yet.
They also argued that the act is legal because rates can be collected not just in exchange for power, but for any service, such as building a new plant. They argued it doesn't matter that Blanton might die or sell his business before Kemper starts operation, or that the plant might never work at all.
"It is the money for any service provided by the utility," said Ricky Cox, a lawyer for Mississippi Power.

A few years ago, my husband and I took an anniversary trip to England. By sheer luck, we had enough airline miles to make the long trip in first class. It's the first time I had flown first class and the luxury was grand: a four-course meal (ordered from a menu), fresh-baked cookies, my own Bose headphones and a seat that converted into a bed with the push of a button.
Swathed in airline luxury, I felt almost sorry for the poor minions back in coach, crammed together eating rubbery chicken on plastic trays.
"Wait!" I told myself. "You were once a poor minion. You still are a poor minion, simply a fraud who worked her way into first class."
This is the conversation I had with myself somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic. It's one I've had with myself many times since. It's so easy to set ourselves apart.
We do it all the time — we set ourselves apart by the clothes we wear, the boots on our feet or the car we drive. We segregate ourselves by education level, our country of origin or how many organics we keep in our fridge.
Working parents set themselves apart. So do stay-at-home parents — people who shop at Target and people who shop at Wal-Mart.
Wealthy, educated, famous people set themselves apart. So do the less fortunate.
The trap in setting ourselves apart is thinking we stand in either an entitled or enlightened place. I often joke with my husband that the world would be a better place if everyone went jogging once in a while. Also, if they were writers. In other words, if everyone were exactly like me we'd achieve a global Karma.
The other danger in setting ourselves apart is when we begin to make excuses for our actions, for the things we buy and for how we treat others. The writer Michael Lewis gave an address at Princeton last year where he talked about a study done in Cal-Berkeley's psychology department. The researchers took groups of three students and put them together in a room, randomly assigning one person in the group as the leader. Their task was to work through a particular moral problem.
Halfway through the experiment, a tray of four cookies was brought in. Four cookies. Three people. It would make sense to break that fourth cookie into three pieces, but that's not what happened. Inevitably the randomly assigned leader snatched up the fourth cookie and ate it with gusto. The leader, who did no extra work and was really no different from his or her peers, felt entitled to that extra cookie.
Here is the challenge: In some ways, we are supposed to set ourselves apart, otherwise Jesus Christ would not have advocated for organized religion. He expected Christians to be different, yet he reviled pride and hypocrisy. He sat with the sinners. He broke bread with the wealthy and the poor. The Pharisees exhausted themselves trying to figure out his strategy. He had none, except to let them know that all people were equal in God's eye.
In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we are "set apart" in callings, meaning we are given an assignment apart from being a member of the congregation. This isn't a chance for us to posture authority on others, but an opportunity to grow, teach and learn from others. Our job as Christians is to recognize our potential without ever feeling entitled. None of us deserve that extra cookie.
During the Holy Week, I always think back to the years I spent living in Miami. Our neighbors were mostly Jewish. On Saturdays, they walked to synagogue in hats and prayer shawls. During the Feast of the Tabernacles, I used to crack my windows and listen to their wailing songs late into the night.
On Passover one year, I spent the morning dyeing Easter eggs with my little boys. We went to the park in late afternoon just as the Passover worship finished at the synagogue. A family with five young children stopped at the park to burn off some energy, and my son struck up a friendship with the youngest son.
Mid-way through their play, this little Jewish boy with a yarmulke pinned to his hair offered my son a Matzo cracker, the cracker traditionally eaten at the Passover meal. My son, with hands stained bright blue from dyeing Easter eggs, accepted the cracker and the two sat down together to feast.
If Christ could help us understand the proper way to set ourselves apart, I think it would look much like this toddler meal of unleavened bread.
We would gather on life's playground with our vastly different beliefs, whether rich or poor, educated or illiterate, with hands stained or clean, and break our crackers for the entire world to share.

Quiz: Remember the definition of mal de mer?
the first complete book extant in the West and the earliest printed from movable type, so called after its printer, Johannes Gutenberg (q.v.), who completed it about 1455 working at Mainz, Ger. The three-volume work, in Latin text, was printed in 42-line columns and, in its later stages of production, was worked on by six compositors simultaneously. It is sometimes referred to as the Mazarin Bible because the first copy described by bibliographers was located in the Paris library of Cardinal Mazarin

April values showered with aberration
Ah, April.
It's gone, but spending the day in Seattle for a Mariners
game reminds one of that familiar saying, "April showers bring May showers."
Well, that's how it goes up here, anyway.
But in fantasy baseball, the end of April means that while
the season is one-sixth over, things are far from settled. We can remind ourselves
of that, or better yet, look at the dollar values for the first month of the
season (everybody over $5 is presented here, in the interest of space):
Dan Wilson and Geronimo Gil. In a Yahoo league last week,
somebody (who admittedly pulled the trigger at 4 a.m. one morning) actually
traded Greg Maddux straight up for Gil. My reaction: Was that Mike
Maddux? Chances are, your league's owners take April numbers with a few more
grains of salt.
Is Randall Simon worth $20 more than Jim Thome? No. But
they just might finish the season with the same dollar value, considering
Simon is helped considerably by Dean Palmer's season-ending surgery. Of course,
that means from now on, Thome will be worth more than Simon.
Again, I just could not be less concerned about Soriano's
lack of plate discipline. Maybe it's those long, Vlad Guerrero-like arms that
can handle bad balls as easily as strikes. Soriano very possibly could wind
up as the most valuable Rotisserie hitter in the AL this season. Durham gets
a big, unexpected boost from Kenny Lofton's dominance ahead of him.
It's still one of the most oft-asked questions in fantasy:
Can Hillenbrand keep it up? No, not unless he can find a way to ping fly balls
off Tropicana Field catwalks all season. He will be good, though, with this
newfound power. Look for Chavez and Glaus to be the class of this position,
but keep an eye on Cirillo, who's been going nuts since May began.
That's eight high-quality shortstops. We know about the
holy Roto trinity, plus Tejada. This year we have vastly improved youngsters
Guillen and Lopez, plus a rebounding Vizquel, and Eckstein showing he's for
real. It should be noted that shortstop Mike Bordick has the distinction of
being the worst April hitter not named Greg Vaughn. In fact, Baltimore's Bordick,
Brook Fordyce and Chris Singleton combined to hit .139.
Everybody was wondering about the Twins' right field
situation heading into 2002. Well, when the other two outfielders combine
for a $70 Roto value, it doesn't much matter what the right fielder does.
Look for Winn and Gibbons to plummet as pitchers begin to pitch them a little
more carefully. Ichiro hasn't had his hot streak yet, so he'll improve, and
I keep wishing he'll unleash some of that power that he's so far not interested
in using in games.
A combined $50 from Barrett, Miller and Pratt
not bad. But if you're thinking that the top three the rest of the way will
contain any names other than Piazza, Lo Duca and Lieberthal, I just don't
So a grand total of three first basemen Konerko,
Simon and Nevin had Roto values above $20 in April? The easiest rest-of-the-season
bet now is that Helton will double his number.
Junior Spivey has an OPS of .969 that's better
than the aforementioned Helton. He's played well enough to get a lot of at-bats
the rest of the way; still, it's a good time to trade him.
Beltre, Alfonzo and Ramirez combined for two home runs
in April. David Bell, known for his lack of power at third base, had three.
We're seeing a Roto star developing in Uribe, and he
and Rollins should battle it out all season for best NL shortstop honors,
both finishing in the high $20s.
Roto contenders have been made by drafting Patterson and/or
Bautista this season. Both are likely to tail off just a little but still produce.
My top 10 rest-of-the-way NL outfielders: Guerrero, Sosa, Floyd (who actually
admitted that he's more likely to play since this is his contract season
we fantasy players have an odd sort of respect for that), Pierre, Bonds, Chipper
Jones, Drew, Dunn, Berkman and Kearns. Yes, I like those young Reds, too.
Fantasy mailbag
Previous question: What is the most insulting trade
offer you've received so far?
Capping it off
My fantasy league is ruled by the salary cap, but that
was no excuse. I was offered Javy Lopez ($6) and Jerry Hairston ($11) for Alfonso
Soriano ($24) and Jason Kendall ($22). To top it off, I received this offer
the same day from someone else: Jason Varitek ($12) and Marcus Giles ($15) for
Soriano and Kendall.
Dennis Wentzler
New York
Fishing for ripoffs
Due to poor drafting and a mass of early injuries, we stuck
a fork in our season by the end of May last year and went prospecting. We paid
dearly but obtained Rafael Furcal and Albert Pujols in trades and picked up
Adam Dunn off the wire. All three are $1 on our roster this year. I would say
at least eight of the other 13 teams in my league have made ridiculous offers
involving them. The typical offer is Joe Loser ($20+) and Fred Overthehill ($15+)
for Pujols and Dunn. Some have the nerve to ask for all three.
Glenn Staub
Muskego, Wis.
A steal of a deal
In my NL-only league, I was offered Pokey Reese and Brian
Tollberg for Sammy Sosa. Reese, I was told, would help me in steals, while Tollberg's
ERA, admittedly astronomical, was calming down with each start. Reese has since
stolen his way onto the DL, and Tollberg has been sent to the bullpen. (Of course,
in this league, a shyster once got Greg Maddux from his good friend/fantasy
newcomer for an "imminent breakout guy" by the name of Archi Cianfrocco.)
Randy Brown
Iowa City
Last week, I was shopping Miguel Tejada since I have Alex
Rodriguez as my shortstop. Instead, I got an offer of Carlos Guillen for A-Rod,
and the person bearing the offer claimed that the two were about even. Uh, yeah.
Michael A. Weintraub
Stockholm, Sweden
Next question: Are stolen bases valued more highly than
ever in your league now?

Purple Wreath
I found a wreath form at the TS for 85C. It is like a hamster wheel with "rungs" to tuck fabric into.
I bought a spool of purple tulle in the bridal section at HL 50% off, $3 worth of silk flowers at DT and a spool of lavender ribbon, also from DT.
This is the result:
I just tucked the entire spool (I think it was 20 yards) of tulle into the wire frame, then wired on the flowers and the bow.
Total cost about $8.
Wow Candy, your 'Spring Wreath' came out beautiful!
Great idea using tulle and I love the colors .
You know I have one of those 'Hamster Wheel' wreath forms..
up in my attic...I bought it over 15 yrs ago...It was one of those
'one day' projects I never got to do.
It's nice to see how you 'got to do' yours!! lol
Thanks everybody.
I'm issuing a standing invitation to all my friends here to come shop and or craft together. Just get on the bus and head to Colorado!! LOL Although it would be a ton of fun.
The tulle ribbon was only about 8" wide, not the actual fabric that is a lot wider. The ribbon bow is actually lavender, although it looks almost white in the picture. I guess because it is so sheer, it photographs differently than reality. Because I like lilacs so much, I used a purple silk bush and a purple/white silk bush along with the big purple flowers.
Thanks everyone.
Kathleen, that is the best way I could think of to describe it. It is a metal form, that looks like a ladder bent into a circle, or a wheel for hamsters to run in without the center supports. Then fabric or ribbon or old neckties (??) just get tucked in between the rungs to make the wreath.

University System Asks Budget Writers For $100 Million
The University System of New Hampshire is asking lawmakers for $100 million dollars in annual state funding.
That's more than twice what they were given in the previous budget.
Heads of the various state departments, and the presidents of the state's universities went before budget writers today to present their initial requests for state funds.
Chancellor of the University System, Ed McKay, says he is cautiously optimistic that governor elect Maggie Hassan will make restoring the cuts from the last budget a priority.
McKay: We are requesting a substantial renewed financial commitment from this state, but we are doing so based on a well-earned national reputation for controlling costs.
University leaders say that lowering the cost of higher education in New Hampshire is essential to keeping young people in the state, and vital to the state's economic future.
The restoration of the cuts to the university system is by no means a sure thing, however.
Republican leaders have said that any increased spending will have to be made up for by cuts elsewhere.

State Says 'Put Your Best Food Forward' With Free Guided Hikes On New Year's Day
On New Year's day, Granite Staters can go on free guided tours at three state parks around the state. The tours are sponsored by New Hampshire's department of Parks and Recreation.
The Division of Parks and Recreation is working in conjunction with local groups to push granite staters to start their year outdoors. Amy Bassett with the office of Travel and Tourism says this is the second year the state has sponsored First Day Hikes. The idea came from a national group:
Basically there's an organization called America's state Parks, it's a national organization, and their goal is to promote state parks and the benefits of state parks.
In Milan, the Nansen Ski Club will lead cross country skiers on a two-mile round trip loop at Milan Hill State Park that includes a view of the Northern Presidential Mountains.
And in Jaffrey and Portsmouth, the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests will lead hikes in Monadnock State Park, and at the Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion State Historic Site, respectively.
Demo skis and snowshoes will be available on a first-come first-serve basis.

"The full-ish Contributoria backend stack "
"The sad truth, we discovered, is that respondents are reaching into their own pockets to do this work: nearly one-third (30%) reported putting up more than $5,000 a year, and some much more. Cumulatively in the past five years, respondents have spent a minimum of almost half a million dollars, and as much as nearly $1 million, to finance their public-interest reporting. "
"if visual socially-shareable content drives hits… if analytics shape our decisions, then how does the local council budget report compete for and hold attention?"
"NGOs, media outlets and commercial companies can now set briefs for independent journalists using the collaborative publishing platform
"The past month has also been a hive of activity for the Contributoria team. Under the bonnet there's some big changes which open up new funding pathways for our writers - read about those in detail here. There's also some smaller changes which you might have missed including a system of notifications to help writers keep track on the progress and comments on their articles as well as giving writer's profiles more prominence by including them onto the proposal and articles directly."
"This citizen reporting experiment builds on the work of skyCAM, which for the past year has been experimenting with drones in Kenya as part of "Africa's first newsroom-based eye in the sky". skyCAM uses drones and camera-equipped balloons to help media that cannot afford news helicopters to cover breaking news in dangerous situations or difficult-to-reach locations"

In association with our joint headline partners, dock10 and Click Consult, there are a total of 23 categories this year.
The event itself brings together the most significant and influential gathering of media and creative folk in the North, this year. Taking place on Thursday 30th April, 2015 at The Point, at Lancashire County Cricket Club, last year more than 700 people attended. A review of the night can be found here.
Full details about the event, tickets and how to enter can be found on our dedicated Prolific North Awards website.
"The online survey polled more than 250 freelancers around the world, the vast majority of them identifying as former newsroom staffers. It's an unscientific study, one whose results may suffer from self-selection bias. But the relatively small sample size suggests that potentially more stories are falling through the cracks. A smaller, parallel survey of staff editors confirmed many of the institutional challenges of publishing freelance investigations, including dwindling budgets and an editorial push toward bite-sized content tailored for the social Web."
Surprised that Contributoria doesn't get a mention anywhere here but.....some of the planning elements detailed are worth a look whatever crowdfunding platform you decide to use, changing the timeframes as appropriate.
"Projects like Guardian Witness are the kinds of things that all media companies should be doing more of, Pilhofer said, because reader engagement is "a huge resource we are largely ignoring" as an industry. That's the bottom line: not so much whether a newspaper or news site has comments or not, but whether it is trying to reach out to its readers in any real way and make them part of its journalism. Or do they just see the audience as a giant click factory?"
"thematic stories and engagement opportunities that tackle big issues in sticky ways.
We track South African journalists' tweets and rank them by retweets and favourites. This list shows the top ten SA journos' tweets by retweets for original tweets in the past 24 hours, and top journos by followers, favourites and lists.
The list of journos is based on Ray Joseph's SA Journos Who Tweet list.
"Ratter will not be the place for reports on local council proceedings, recipes of the week, or prep football highlights. The directive he gives his local editors is simple: "The specific goal I told them was to alienate the local readership as much as possible," Daulerio said. "Their version of L.A., or San Francisco, and hopefully New York, is supposed to be one that is inclusive with a national audience, and completely ignore the people that live there.""
"This site is administered by Digital Birmingham on behalf of Birmingham City Council. Open Data is as much part of the economic agenda as it is of being transparent about an organisations business.
We believe that Open Data can generate many benefits such as: - Giving you direct access to data to build your own opinion - Allows datasets to be combined to create new insights - Enables sharing of data - Allows application developers to use real data"
And so we often grapple with the problems such a perspective creates for us and our readers—and from a distance, it's easy to forget the dots are people. If I lose sight of that while I am making the map, how can I expect my readers to see it in the final product?
"Trainee journalists worldwide face low wages, unreasonably stretched job descriptions and self-censorship pressures, while tutors at local journalism schools are forced to double as campaigners for press rights. Early-career journalists and journalism professors in Macedonia, Burma and Turkey talk about what it's like to break into the industry in their country.

text: I read something about our type being lazy and making excuses to sleep late and miss all the stuff we paid for. It made sense all of a sudden. Certain types, at the extremist end, value getting every square foot they paid for. I certainly hope this does not take priority over their kids' happiness because I see plenty of kids being yanked around while looking back and pointing at something they want to see. If I wanted to do it, I could complete 2 parks entirely in one day, but I'm not sure I would enjoy that pace. After bringing a 9 y.o. recently, not sure he would have survived that schedule without a total meltdown. For intelligent people, I'm not sure how much research and planning it takes to follow a road, in an enclosed space, for 15+ potential hours, and not be able to see all you paid for. Aside from making an ADR, checking park hours, and planning general vacation stuff, I can't imagine detailing an actual park visit. There's a paper map you get at the front, there is a sign board on Main with show times, you either are or are not willing to wait the posted time for a ride, you either are or are not willing to fight for a table at a particular CS. Some of these people have been here multiple times and still require all sorts of reference materials. Kinda makes you wonder. Have a question... Google, no, CM. They're everywhere, faster, and have more accurate and reliable answers. Lost? GPS? No, foldable map in pocket, or CM. How do you get lost in a gated circle? Laminate? I guess if you want to reuse the same papers over and over for the next 20 visits since show times and park hours don't change. CM's offer many solutions so you don't need to travel with your repurposed trash from fast food joints. Luggage space is valuable. To each their own. The smart phone faction will laugh at the laminate faction... the Desperados will slide by and let them sort themselves out. By the way, do we have a count, or a member list yet, because, who cares. Just wear your LGPMH proudly and let's hope we're not infiltrated by the others (oh no who wants to post security around the forum thread we might have a fraudulent badge running around posting #sarcasm). Most importantly, enjoy yourselves. If you want your LGPMH badge search this thread for "clickable" and edit the code as you see fit.

Departure Day
All packed and ready to go by 11.00 a still left a little late. No trouble on the roads and swift service for lunch in the pub so arrived in good time at the parking. Good service as usual and through check in without issue. No question about the skis, boots or hand bags. Bumped into Jim Humphries in the check in queue, pleased they are not headed to our resort - the sauna could have been ...
Beautiful City
... next week... Got to see most sights of Bristol, and the suspension bridge. Beautiful city to say the least. I'm grateful to be here. I've no idea where I'm meant to be, and I figure, I'll let things happen and see where life takes me. I'm not in a rush anymore. I'll end up somewhere sometime...

So much to do, so little time
... was pretty cool. It started with half price cocktails which all occupants were taking full advantage of. In the middle of the room was a large circular dance floor that was soon occupied by a muscular brazilian man sporting a full head of dreads, a tank top and a cowboy hat. He played the bongos spectacularly i've got to say. Next up was a couple doing the samba. After dancing for the audience, they invited others to join them on the dance floor...and obviously ...
