Dante R Maddox got started in writing about pop culture in 2007. He developed his conversational style majoring in English and minoring in speech communication, his desire to write as if he were speaking to the reader face to face was the bane of many professors. An odd blend of geek cred and regular fella chic', you're just as likely to end up talking about baseball or politics as you are about comic books and movies (just don't mention Tucker Carlson, you are addressing the man who will go to jail for assault in the future after all). He wrote a book called The Lineage of Durge that's available on Amazon for a small amount of money, he's writing a second while acting as Editor-in-Stuff over at Saga Online Press, there is a graphic novel expansion of his book series also in the works as well as continued development of his cheesecannon, one day Canada...one day (Seriously, a piece of ham, you slice it up and now it's bacon?!?!?

Snow also is expected to fall more heavily through Monday from Olympia to Chehalis, with up to 1 or 2 inches Sunday and another one to 3 inches Monday. the foothills and east of I-5 could get up to 4 inches, the weather service said.
With winds gusting from 15 to 25 miles per hour and temperatures falling into the 20s Sunday evening, the wind chill may fall into the teens.
The strait of Juan de Fuca also may see some light snow, though the Olympics could get 1 to 3 inches through Monday morning. the area also could see a dangerous wind chill with falling temperatures and a north wind from 20 to 30 miles per hour and with gusts up to 40 miles per hour.
Western Whatcom and Skagit counties have a light snow forecast, but wind also is expected to blow harder through Monday, the weather service said.
Drivers should prepare for winter driving conditions and the Weather Service advises travelers to carry warm clothes in case of driving delays.
ORIGINAL POST: 1:10 p.m.
The Seattle area is under a winter weather advisory through Monday evening.

This is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 759,397 filed July 26, 1985, now abandoned.
The present invention is directed to remoistenable hot melt adhesives. In particular, the invention is directed to remoistenable hot melt adhesives characterized by an outstanding balance of non-block characteristics under heat and high humidity conditions combined with excellent bond strength.
Hot melt adhesives achieve a solid state and resultant cohesive strength by cooling, as opposed to other types of adhesives which achieve the solid state through evaporation or removal of solvents, or by polymerization. At room temperature, a hot melt applicable adhesive is a thermoplastic, non-volatile solid material. When the hot melt adhesive is heated, it liquifies; after removal of heat, it solidifies on cooling. Hot melt adhesives are usually used for reasons such as process speed, streamlining of process equipment by elimination of driers and other auxiliary equipment or the like. To be water-moistenable, an adhesive composition must be activatable by moistening with water.
A water-moistenable hot melt applicable adhesive composition is a bonding agent which may be applied to one surface utilizing a hot melt technique and another surface using a water-moistening technique, so that the two surfaces are bonded together by means of the composition. By way of example, such a composition may be applied by the hot melt technique as gumming for labels, sealing tapes and envelope flaps at a point of manufacture where the intricate equipment required for hot melt application is available, the labels, sealing tape and envelope flaps, ultimately being applied by the consumer to other surfaces using the much simpler water-moistening technique, e.g., by moistening the adhesive coating prior to application to the other surface. The hot melt application is utilized where the required equipment is available because it is a rapid and economical technique; the water-moistening technique is utilized precisely because it doesn't require such elaborate equipment.
In attempting to provide a single adhesive composition which is to be applied to one surface using a hot melt technique and another surface using a water-moistening technique, considerations arise which are not present in the provision of an adhesive composition to be applied by either technique alone. For example, most water-moistenable adhesives do not possess the requisite thermoplastic properties permitting hot melt application of desirably smooth glossy coats thereof. Similarly, most hot melt applicable thermoplastic adhesives are water insensitive and cannot be readily tackified by water-moistening. Moreover, such adhesive compositions must obviously be heat-tackifiable to be applied by hot-melt techniques and also moisture-tackifiable to form bonds by water-moistening techniques. On the other hand, once the composition has been hot-melt applied to a substrate, it must be able to resist elevated temperature conditions likely to be found in its environment without again becoming tackifiable or undergoing other undesirable changes, such as discoloration (darkening), over a prolonged period of time. Similarly, it must be able to withstand the various humid conditions likely to be found in its environment without becoming tacky until it is actually moistened immediately prior to use. Consider, for example, the common phenomenon of postal envelopes with water-moistenable gumming on the flaps which become prematurely sealed on humid summer days. The same problem occurs on a larger scale within the adhesive manufacturing plant when an adhesively coated substrate carrying the hot-melt applied composition is formed into a layered roll or sheet-on-sheet storage configuration and the adhesive of one layer or sheet starts to adhere to the substrate of the layer or sheet underneath. The tendency of the adhesive to undergo premature sealing under humid conditions is measured in terms of the humidity blocking resistance at a given relative humidity (under a given load at a given temperature, for a given period of time). The blocking resistance is normally measured in terms of the percentage tear occurring, with high levels of blocking producing high levels of tear when the adhesive-bearing substrate is removed from the opposed surface.
I have now found that when hot melt remoistenable adhesives are formulated using a poly(alkyloxazoline) polymer together with conventional diluents and tackifiers, the resultant adhesive will form dry non-blocking films having superior heat and humidity resistance which films can be remoistened with water to give strong "papertearing" bonds. Thus, the present invention is directed to remoistenable non-volatile hot melt adhesive compositions comprising:
(a) 25 to 60% by weight poly(alkyloxazoline);
(b) 20 to 75% by weight diluent;
(c) 0 to 40% by weight tackifier;
(d) 0 to 25% by weight plasticizer;
(e) 0 to 4% by weight stabilizer, and
(f) 0 to 5% by weight non-block additives;
with the total of components c through f comprising a maximum of 40% by weight of the composition.
While any of the poly(alkyloxazoline) compounds disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,474,928 may be used herein, the most readily available is polyethyloxazoline, a compound consisting primarily of repeating units (I) which is prepared by the ring-opening polymerization of 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline (II). ##STR1##
The ring-opening polymerization of 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline is generally conducted in the presence of a cationic polymerization catalyst at a reaction temperature of about 0� C.-200� C. Typical catalysts include strong mineral acids, organic sulfonic acids and their esters, acidic salts such as ammonium sulfate, Lewis acids such as aluminum trichloride, stannous tetrachloride, boron trifluouride and organic diazomlumfluoroborates, dialkyl sulfates and other like catalysts. This ring-opening polymerization is further described by Tomalla et al. J. Polymer Science, 4,2253 (1966); Bassiri et al. Polymer Letters, 5,871 (1967); Seeliger, Ger. 1,205,585; Jones and Roth, U.S. Pat. No. 3,640,909; and Litt et al., U.S. Pat. No. 3,483,141. The pre-hydrolyzed polymers thereby obtained are linear, N-acylated polyethylamines having a molecular structure essentially of repeating units (I). These polymers can be used as such or be partially hydrolyzed (deacylated) by contact with a strong acid, such as HCl, followed by contact with a base, such as NaOH. Alternatively, this polymer is available from Dow Chemical Corp. under the name PEOx.
Typically, the poly(alkyloxazoline) has a molecular weight within the range of 1,000 to 1,000,000. In the present invention, it is preferable to use poly(ethyloxazoline) having a molecular weight within the range of about 50,000 to about 500,000. The poly(alkyloxazoline) is used in the adhesive in an amount of 25 to 60%, preferably 40 to 50% by weight.
The diluents useful herein as viscosity modifying materials, incude those polymers, copolymers and resins typically used in remoistenable hot-melts, including, but not limited to, glycerol mono- and distearate; synthetic long chain linear polymeric alcohols such as Bareco's Polywax OH550 and 425; high acid number waxlike materials of mono - or dicarboxylic acid; acid wax derived from montan wax, i.e., Hoechst Wax-S; stearic acid and stearyl alcohol; hydrogenated castor oil; polyethylene glycols such as Carbowax available from Union Carbide; 12(OH) stearic acid; stearic-cetyl alcohols blends.
The plasticizer or "fluxing" agent which may be present to lower the melt temperature (softening point) of the composition may be selected from those used in conventional hot melt remoistenable adhesives. These are generally monomeric or very low molecular weight polymers and contain no solvents or water and include, but are not limited to, benzoates, glycollates, phthalates, sulfonamides or the like. Among the preferred plasticizers are triacetin and polyols, e.g., glycerol sorbitol and polyethylene glycols. Specific plasticizers useful herein are triethylene glycol; N-ethyl p-toluene sulfonamide available as Santicizer 8 from Monsanto; Resoflex 296, a polyester plasticizer from Cambridge Chemicals; Benzoflex 50, a benzoic acid ester from Velsicol; Pycal 94, a phenyl ether of polyethylene glycol from ICI America; triethyl citrate and sucrose acetate isobutyrate; glycerine, and castor oil. If used, these plasticizers are generally present in amounts of 5 to 25%.
It may also be desirable to incorporate herein a tackifying resin which serves to extend the adhesive properties of the system. Suitable tackifiers are (1) natural and modified rosins such, for example, as gum rosin, wood rosin, tall-oil rosin, distilled rosin, hydrogenated rosin, dimerized rosin, and polymerized rosin, (2) polyterpene resins having a softening point, as determined by ASTM method E28 58T, of from about 60� to 140� C. the latter polyterpene resins generally resulting from the polymerization of terpene hydrocarbons, such as bicyclic mono-terpene known as pinene in the presence of Friedel-Crafts catalysts at moderately low temperatures. (3) phenolic-modified terpene resins such, for example, as the resin product resulting from the condensation in an acidic medium, of a bicyclic terpene and a phenol; (4) alphatic petroleum hydrocarbon resins having a Ball and Ring softening point of from about 60� to 140� C., the latter resins resulting from the polymerization of monomers consisting primarily of olefins and diolefins, (5) glycerol and pentaerythritol; (6) esters of rosin or modified rosin; (7) styrene resins and modified styrene resins; (8) hydroabietyl alcohol and the phthalate ester thereof; and (9) aliphatic, aromatic and aliphatic/aromatic copolymers and their hydrogenated counterparts. Especially preferred are rosin derived resins. These tackifying resins, if used, are present in an amount of about 5 to 40% by weight of the adhesive.
Antioxidants or stabilizers which aay be employed in remoistenable hot melt compositions disclosed by this invention include phenolics, amines, and quinones or the like. Especially useful herein are the high molecular weight hindered phenols and multifunctional phenols such as sulfur and phosphorous-containing phenols. Hindered phenols are well known to those skilled in the art and may be characterized as phenolic compounds which also contain bulky radicals in close proximity to the phenolic hydroxyl group thereof. In particular, tertiary butyl groups generally are substituted onto the benzene ring in at least one of the ortho positions relative to the phenolic hydroxy group. The presence of these substituted radicals in the vicinity of the hydroxyl group serves to retard its stretching frequency and correspondingly, its reactivity. This steric hindrance thus provides the phenolic compound with its stabilizing properties. Representative hindered phenols include: 1,3,5-trimethyl-2,4,6-tris(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzylbenzene; pentaerythritol tetrakis-3(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionate, n-octadecyl-3(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate, 4,4'-methylenebis(2,6-di-tert-butylphenol); 2,2'methylenebis(4-methyl-6-tert-butylphenol); 4,4'-thiobis(6-tert-butylo-cresol); 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol; 6-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)-2,4-bis(n-octylthio)-1,3,5-triazine; 2,4,6-tris( 4-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylphenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine; di-n-octadecyl-3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzylphosphonate; 2-(n-octylthio)ethyl)3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoate, and sorbitol hexa-[3-(5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-phenyl)propionate]. The antioxidant is generally used at levels of 0.2 to 2% by weight.
The performance of these antioxidants may be further enhanced by utilizing, in conjunction therewith (1) synergists such, for example, as thiodipropionate esters and phosphites; and (2) chelating agents and metal deactivators such, for example, as ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid.
Non-block additives such as the petroleum and synthetic waxes and the fatty amines may also be present. Typical of these are Acrawax C, a 140�-143� C. melt point synthetic wax from Glyco Chemicals; erucyl amide; oleyl amide; N,N' ethylenebisoleamide and the like. The non-block additives, if used, are present in amounts of about 0.16 to 5%.
Optional additives may be incorporated in minor amounts, generally 5% by weight, or less, into the hot melt compositions in order to modify certain properties thereof. Among these additives may be scenting and flavoring agents, perfumes, preservative agents, wetting agents, colors and dyes, inert fillers, extenders, and the like.
These hot melt adhesive compositions may be formulated using techniques known in the art. An exemplary procedure involves placing approximately all of the total diluent, the poly(alkyloxazoline), stabilizer and any optional additives whose presence may be desired in a jacketed mixing kettle, or in a jacketed heavy duty mixer of the Baker-Perkins or Day type, which is equipped with rotors and thereupon raising the temperature to a range of from about 250� to 350� F. Mixing and heating are continued until a smooth, homogeneous mass is obtained whereupon the tackifying resin(s), if any, are thoroughly and uniformly admixed therewith.
Remoistenable hot melt adhesives prepared by the above methods may be applied (coated) to any substrate by known industrial methods. An important requirement for the application of hot melt adhesives is that all machine parts (including resevoir, application and metering rollers or blades) should be heated to prevent the premature cooling or setting of the adhesive. Thus, conventional coating methods known in the art as direct roll coaters, reverse roll coaters, stencil or pattern transfer coaters, coaters utilizing printing techniques such as rotogravure or flexographic, knife or blade coaters, and extruders may be used for the application of hot melts provided that the aforesaid machine parts are adapted to provide uniform heating of the hot melt while in the reservoir and during its application.
This invention can be further illustrated by following examples or preferred embodiments thereof, although it will be understood that these examples are included merely for purposes of illustration and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention unless otherwise specifically indicated. In these examples all parts are given by weight.
The following examples show representative formulations falling within the scope of the patent. Also noted in Table I are the test results for each of the sample formulations.
In the examples, the adhesives prepared were then subjected to the tests described below:
Viscosity is measured in cps at 300� F. (the average hot application temperature) using a Brookfield Thermosel.
The test samples were prepared by coating the hot melt using a pair of metal rollers heated at 200� F. and set at a gap of 8 thousandths between rollers onto 4 thousandths inch thick bond paper. The paper strip was placed between the rollers the hot melt poured onto the rollers at approximately 325� F. and the paper pulled through the gap. The approximate coating thickness for each sample was 1 thousandth of an inch. All samples were stored and tested in a humidity controlled environment.
120� F. Heat Pressure Blocking Test: The bond paper coatings were placed face to back under a pressure of 1/2 pound per square inch at 120� F. for periods extending from overnight to 24 hours. They were removed, cooled and separated with the degree of difficulty noted and expressed in terms of zip and pick as described below.
Humidity Blocking Test: The adhesive is applied in molten form to a white wove envelope stock substrate (1/2 inch�1 inch), and a glass plate is used to press the gummed surface of the substrate down upon a blank sheet of paper supported by a temperature- and humidity-conditioned urethane foam. The test block is evaluated after 24 hours at the specified level of relative humidity (75 percent, or 83 percent) and 22� C. temperature, and the amounts of zip, pick and percent tear are recorded. "Non-block" indicates completely free release of the gummed surface from the blank sheet. "Zip" indicates a superficial attraction while usually accompanied by a zipping noise during release of the surfaces, and is not as serious as "pick". Pick indicates small, isolated, pin point areas of tear, usually totaling less than 5 percent of the total surface area.
140� F. Westvaco White Wove Blocking Test: This method is more stringent than the 120� F. blocking test. In this case, a 1 mil coating of the hot melt is applied to a 4�10 inch Westvaco envelope stock. Then 2�2 inch squares of the coated stock were placed face to back of blank stock for each sample, with three blanks used on top and bottom for cushioning. The samples were placed in a 140� F. oven overnight with a 1�1 inch 125 grams stainless steel cube placed in the middle of each square. They were removed from the oven, equilibrated to room temperature and tested as above.
Remoistening percent tear is measured using coated substrates of the type described in connection with the humidity blocking test hereinabove the coatings being moistened in a single stroke with a brush wet with water and pressed down on a large sheet of similar white wove envelope stock. The moistened coating is allowed to dry for one hour and then a measurement made of the percentage of the total coated surface torn.
Two remoistenable hot melt adhesive compositions were prepared by mixing the component listed in Table 1 with low shear in a stainless steel vessel at a temperature of 150� C. until a homogeneous mass was obtained. Adhesive 1 was coated and tested on bond stock while Adhesive 2 was coated on white wove stock. The results are shown in the table.

Another series of adhesives were prepared in a manner similar to that described in Example 1 but using the components shown in Table 2. These adhesives were tested for humidity blocking with Adhesive 3 tested on bond and Adhesive 4 on white wove. Both were then tested using the 120� F. Blocking test.

Conference aims to recruit youthful church ministers
AUSTIN, Texas -- As the daughter and granddaughter of Presbyterian preachers, Laura Elly Hudson knew plenty about the ministry growing up -- mostly that she didn't want any part of it.
The low pay was one reason. And the long hours. Not to mention she was terrified of having to answer the most vexing spiritual questions at the toughest times in people's lives.
Experts say those and other concerns are discouraging young adults from pursuing careers in church ministry and have led to a 20-year decline among mainline denominations in the number of clergy under 35.
Churches, denominations and religious organizations are now trying to reverse that trend to ensure a new generation of pastors are ready to replace the many Baby Boomer ministers preparing to retire.
About 150 college and seminary students are gathering in Austin through Sunday to explore what it means to pastor a church -- and what it doesn't. They're participating in a conference sponsored by the Fund for Theological Education, an ecumenical group that tries to recruit and support young ministers.
In Hudson's mind, being a pastor used to mean boring administrative tasks and tangled congregational relationships.
'It's who you are'
Until she attended last year's conference, she said, she never realized the ministry could let her blend a love of nature and environmental activism with a passion for songwriting. Or that putting on a play could help a pastor open people's hearts to Jesus.
"It really encouraged me to think of ministry as ... not necessarily what you do but it's who you are," said Hudson, a 30-year-old Indiana native who just finished her first year at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary.
While the average age of students at American seminaries is going down, graduates are less likely to say they plan to become a church minister, according to the Association of Theological Schools, which accredits Protestant, Roman Catholic and Orthodox graduate schools of theology.
Just half of the men and 40 percent of the women who earned Master of Divinity degrees last year said their first choice after seminary was pastoring a church, a survey found. That's down from 60 percent and 56 percent respectively in 2000.
At the same time, research shows mainline denominations such as the United Methodist Church are experiencing staggering drops in the number of ministers under 35.
A study released this year by the Lewis Center for Church Leadership at the Methodist-affiliated Wesley Theological Seminary found less than 5 percent of fully ordained Methodist pastors are under 35, down from 15 percent two decades ago.
About the same percentage of American Baptist and Episcopal ministers are in their 20s and early 30s, according to data gathered by the researchers.
The problem's cause and effect can be seen in many mainline congregations, where the average worshipper is a woman in her 50s, said Melissa Wiginton, the Fund for Theological Education's vice president of ministry programs and planning.
Seeking young leaders
As fewer young people attend church regularly, fewer consider becoming church pastors, Wiginton said. With fewer young faces in the pulpit, fewer young adults feel connected to church life.
"If we don't have young leaders, it's going to be a loss for all of us," she said.
Congregations and denominations are tackling the problem in a variety of ways, from having tiny clerical robes made to fit American Girl dolls to offering semesters at seminary programs that give college students a peek at graduate school life.
Betsy Neely, 24, of Atlanta, attributes her decision to enroll in Vanderbilt University Divinity School to the semester she spent at a seminary in Chicago.
"I really thrived and came back with a profound sense of call," Neely said.
But she's still trying to figure out whether that call will lead her to church ministry or to other jobs young people are choosing more frequently, such as hospital chaplaincies, mission work or teaching.
At this week's conference, Wiginton and Austin Seminary President Theodore J. Wardlaw hope to show Neely and other participants that churches can change the world behind the leadership of gifted pastors.
"You don't just have to be in the midst of some global hotspot to make a difference," Wardlaw said. "You can also be a part of a parish in which your ministry touches people and you can have an impact on people in ways you can't even calculate."

"We are the nation that put cars in driveways and computers in offices; the nation of Edison and the Wright brothers; of Google and Facebook. In America, innovation doesn't just change our lives. It's how we make a living." With this one sentence, spoken Tuesday during his State of the Union address, President Barack Obama ushered in once and for all the Age of Sociotechnology, the age that recognizes the importance of the interaction between people and technology in both workplaces and society.
Obama recognizes perhaps better than anyone in America the extent to which technology nowadays is socially constructed and society is technically constructed.
"We are the nation...of Google and Facebook" - those eight words may well go on to become the most significant President Obama has ever uttered to date. For better or for worse, it would seem that the destiny of the U.S. economy is now bolted to that of the software and hardware industries.
Obama also coined a very catchy new phrase when he said:
"This is our generation's Sputnik moment."
"Two years ago, I said that we needed to reach a level of research and development we haven't seen since the height of the Space Race," Obama explained. "In a few weeks," he added, "I will be sending a budget to Congress that helps us meet that goal. We'll invest in biomedical research, information technology, and especially clean energy technology - an investment that will strengthen our security, protect our planet, and create countless new jobs for our people."
When the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1 into orbit on October 4, 1957, it jump-started the "Space Race" that Obama referred to in his address, and led the following year - 1958 - to the creation of NASA.
The next race to be won by America may be the global social technology race. certainly, with Google and Facebook it has a good head start.
As Obama said:
"None of us can predict with certainty what the next big industry will be, or where the new jobs will come from. Thirty years ago, we couldn't know that something called the Internet would lead to an economic revolution. What we can do - what America does better than anyone - is spark the creativity and imagination of our people."
Amen to that.

We've worked with dozens of early adopters across numerous industries and will debunk common misperceptions, which starts with understanding that many of the connected products we'll use over the next 5 years are already products, they're just not yet connected. With an IoT product, time-in-market provides much more essential feedback than ever before. Innovation comes from what you do with the data that the connected product provides in order to enhance the customer experience and optimize busi...

A critical component of any IoT project is the back-end systems that capture data from remote IoT devices and structure it in a way to answer useful questions. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle large data sets, but they are not well suited to many IoT-scale products and the need for real-time insights. At Fuze, we have developed a backend platform as part of our mobility-oriented cloud service that uses Big Data-based approache...

Search is on to replace Perryville superintendent
The search by the Perry County School Board to find a replacement for retiring superintendent Kevin Dunn took another step during a special work session of the board Wednesday night.
The school board met to discuss and review applications they received for superintendent of the Perry County Public Schools. A search has been ongoing since the beginning of the school year.
The deadline for applicants was Nov. 1.
According to school-board president Tina Littge, the applicants to succeed Dunn are of high quality.
"We've got about 15 applications to review," she said, "and I have to say that I've been impressed with the caliber of the applicants."
Dunn will retire as superintendent at the end of the school year after holding the position since 2007. Before that he was assistant superintendent at Perryville for five years and was principal at Fredericktown High School from 1987 to 2002.
Dunn said that he's looking forward to helping the new superintendent when the transition period begins.
"It's been a pleasure to serve the Perry County school district for eleven years," he said. "My successor will find many wonderful people to work with once he or she is chosen," he said. "The staff I've been blessed with is remarkable, and they've made my job here so much easier for me. And I'm sure the community will make the new superintendent feel most welcome as was the case when I arrived."
Dunn also spoke of his achievements while superintendent.
"I'm very proud of the high academic-achievement distinction our schools have gained over the last three years. Nothing makes you feel as good as knowing that the students you oversee are excelling. But I'm also proud of how we've improved teacher pay schedules in the district. We were able to do that while strengthening the district's finances as well. We're going to be debt-free by March and that, obviously, is something I am quite pleased with."
Littge said that she and the other members of the school board will be sad to see Dunn go.
"I'm happy for him being able to retire," she said. "He's been a great superintendent for the Perryville schools. He'll be leaving a school district that he helped to put in good financial shape. But make no mistake, we're going to miss him."
The superintendent position is expected to be filled by mid-December.
Pertinent address: 326 College St., Perryville, Mo.

Arizona could have more options for power providers
PHOENIX — The Arizona Corporation Commission has taken small steps that could eventually lead to opening up the state's electric markets.
Although that possibility is probably years down the road, the commission will hold two meetings at a date to be determined and will also seek input from stakeholders.
Arizona's future could see open competition for power consumers. Meaning consumers could potentially drop Arizona Public Service as their power provider and buy power from a third party.
Diane Brown with the Arizona Public Interest Research Group said she won't give opening up the market her blessing unless it works favor of the customer.
"Consumers would have to have actual choices, including a utility that will increase energy efficiency and clean energy, which is what we see ratepayers wanting more and more."
Salt River Project's rates are not regulated by the Corporation Commission because SRP is a political subdivision of the state. The commission has no power over municipal utilities.

Roll on summer! Kimberley Garner keeps it typically skimpy in string bikini top as she goes rollerblading in Los Angeles
Since leaving Made In Chelsea after just one season, Kimberley Garner has been working on a swimwear line.
So it's no surprise that the 24-year-old likes to model them whenever she gets the chance, which is exactly what she did while rollerblading in Santa Monica over the weekend.
The pretty blonde made sure all eyes were on her by wearing a very skimpy pink bikini, featuring wrap around straps and tiny white hot pants.
Scroll down for video
Roller girl: Kimberley Garner was seen skating in Santa Monica in next to nothing over the weekend
Strike a pose: The one-time reality star posed up a storm while showing off her skills
Joined by a blonde pal, the star was seen showing off not just her skating skills but also her enviable body and endless legs.
Clearly rather confident on the skates she wore barely any protective gear, just some wrist protectors.
Kimberley flew in to LA towards the end of last week to attend Coachella Festival, where she was seen mingling with famous faces at a a VIP pool party.
Double trouble: The swimwear designer was joined by a female friend, who gave her a run for her money when it came to short shorts
Riding high: The star wore a pale pink wrap around bikini top with white hot pants
Confident: Kimberley looked very at home on her skates and wasn't worried about falling over while wearing very little
Writing on her blog about her experience of the event, she shared: 'We just hung out, danced, watched the stars and chatted about life, feeling very small in the massive expanse of the desert around us.
'Its crazy to think we had only been in america for two days… really excited for the next few weeks….'
Not surprisingly Kimberley opted to wear one of her own swimsuits for the occasion and teamed it with a floaty sarong.
Kimberley told MailOnline recently that she started designing her second Kimberley London range close to a year ago, shortly after her debut collection – described at the time as 'A British take on the Brazilian' – won praise for their quality.
Holiday: The blonde, who is a swimwear designer, is currently taking a break in Los Angeles
Fun in the sun: The girls looked like they were having a great time riding along the beach
Giggles: Kimberley wore her blonde hair off her face in a high pony tail with sections falling around her face
She said: 'I've wanted to design swimwear since I was 12 and it's always been a dream of mine. I brought out a collection last year and I was amazed by the reception, so about 8 months ago I started designing the new collection.
'I wanted it be more intricately designed, more detailed.'
Kimberley will follow up the Spring range with a Summer collection, which admits will be a more playful affair than the embellished creations – designed to embrace elegance, freedom and fun'.
She said: 'I've got a summer collection coming out that's a bit more cheeky, but this one's elegant. I wanted to focus on flattering the woman's body, a bit like the little black dress where you put it on and you feel like a million dollars.'
All in the detail: Kimberley wore a pink belt which matched her bikini top

The ultimate in discretion, they are sumptuously beautiful bombshells with the highest in erotic aptitude yet nobody knows about them. They are mysteriously revered by men who desire them within a very tight circle that no one talks about and yet they are in demand. They are called UTR escorts and the thrills that they promise are coming to City Girls.
What is UTR?
Originating as a military term, UTR literally means 'under the radar' referring to military aircraft that would fly beneath radar detection so as not to be detected by enemy combat. Stealthy sirens of lust who move invisibly within the hobbying world borrow the term to imply that they maintain a very low profile. They are eccentric symbols of feminine essence sought after only by those who have had the privilege of dating them. These ladies date only a select few (and we are not exaggerating) and they are gentlemen trusted not to exploit their true identities. As such, they may experience low volume, unbacked by stacks of reviews. if you are a hobbyist who loves to detail your experiences with the world in the form of escort reviews, or lean toward the haughtier side of behavior, UTR escorts are not for you.
Where does a UTR escort come from?
You have probably never heard of her. But as a VIP member of City Girls, your pristine track record has initiated you into a private world of exclusive dating called the VIP section which is the only place where our UTR escorts will be soon featured. Perhaps she is not famous to you but gradually, you recognize that she is a porn star celebrity gracing the screen of some of your favorite internet entertainment portals. Or, she may be a professional television personality from Europe or USA. Even reputable sports figures known in the media moonlight part time as independent escorts but only with choice gents who reap the rewards of their charm in exchange for confidentiality. In every case, UTR City Girls' escorts are nothing less than drop dead gorgeous and desirous with bodies beyond delicious. Due to their exclusivity, these temptresses are in demand and naturally ask for higher donations.
ATTENTION! UTR Escorts – City Girls welcomes you!
