1 SESSION PAPER PARIS 2002 TRANSMISSION LINE EMERGENCY RESTORATION PHILOSOPHY AT LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWER by R. J. SCHWEINER K. E. TWOMEY K. E. LINDSEY* Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Lindsey Manufacturing Co. (United States) INTRODUCTION An essential question for any utility is whether to maintain their in-house emergency capability for line restoration or whether to depend on subcontractors and outside sources for this service. Every utility should consciously address and decide which plan is the most realistic for their particular situation. In doing so a number of factors come into play such as: the size of the utility, the availability of subcontractors who can be depended upon during emergency, whether there are other utilities willing to enter into mutual assistance plans, and of course, costbenefit of the plan. This paper describes how the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) has chosen to maintain its in-house capability as the solution to this concern, including what they see as the critical success factors to maintaining their in-house capability. Several incidents of overhead transmission line (OHTL) failures and emergency restorations are presented demonstrating these critical success factors. KEYWORDS Availability Economic Loss Emergency Restoration Overhead Transmission Line 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) established at the beginning of the 20 th century is the largest municipally owned utility in the United States. LADWP provides electricity to approximately 1.4 million electrical customers in a 1202-square-km area. Business and industry consume about 70 percent of the electricity in Los Angeles, but residences constitute the largest number of customers. In addition to serving these consumers, LADWP lights public streets and highways, powers the city's water system and sells wholesale electricity to other utilities. LADWP supplies power from many sources, including its own hydroelectric and fossil-fueled generating stations and contracts for hydroelectric power from the Pacific Northwest. Coal is the largest single source of power supply in Los Angeles at 45 percent. Natural gas now supplies about 20 percent of the city's energy; hydroelectricity accounts for 12 percent; nuclear, 9 percent, and the remainder comes from purchased power, including biomass, solar and cogeneration. LADWP has a net dependable capacity of approximately 7000MW, and an annual peak demand of approximately 6000MW. 1.1 LADWP S OVERHEAD TRANSMISSION GRID The LADWP overhead transmission grid consists of approximately 8,800 circuit km of 115, 138 and 230kV transmission as well as both 500kV AC and DC transmission lines. The Bulk Power Business Unit of LADWP is responsible for all construction and maintenance of these lines. Of approximately 15,000 transmission structures maintained by LADWP, over 90% of them are steel lattice type structures. Much of the 8,800 circuit km of transmission is within the metropolitan Los Angeles area; however, the LADWP Bulk Power Business Unit also maintains 935km of 500kV DC transmission lines from Los Angeles to the Nevada-Oregon border and 772 km from Los Angeles * P.O. BOX 877, AZUSA, CA 91702
2 to northern Utah. The major 230 and 500kV OHTLs maintained by LADWP outside their service territory are shown in figure 1. CALIFORNIA LADWP Service Area +/-500kV HVDC Celilo-Sylmar NEVADA 500km UTAH +/-500kV HVDC IPP ARIZONA Figure 1 The service area and the 230 and 500kV OHTLs maintained by LADWP 1.2 ECONOMIC IMPACT OF A TRANSMISSION LINE FAILURE In the current deregulated environment of California electrical energy production, the loss of a critical transmission line could be catastrophic. LADWP currently has a typical peak native load of approximately 5,500 MW (these are customers that LADWP is committed to serve). LADWP has a peak generating capacity of approximately 7,000 MW. Of their large bulk 500kV AC and DC transmission system, the 500kV lines range in capacity from 1,800 to 3,100 MW. The loss of one of these lines could require purchasing 1,000 MW of power on the current deregulated market during peak hours. At the time of the writing of this paper, the current cost of electric energy on the summer spot market in California is approximately US$350/MW hour. The need to purchase 1,000 MW in this market to prevent outages could cost US$350,000/hour. In addition, the loss of any transmission line could prevent LADWP from selling excess power to the neighboring utilities and again force additional economic hardship on not only LADWP but other utilities as well. In recent years, LADWP has experienced several failures of their critical transmission lines due to a variety of causes. In each of these cases LADWP has been able to respond quickly and effectively to restore these critical lines. The next section will discuss what LADWP believes are the critical success factors for this performance. 2.0 CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS FOR RAPID RESTORATION OF A DAMAGED TRANSMISSION LINE 2.1 MANAGEMENT SUPPORT The Transmission Construction and Maintenance Organization (TC&M) reports to the Director of the Bulk Power Business Unit who in turn reports to the power system Assistant General Manager of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. The TC&M Organization is responsible for all maintenance, capital improvement jobs and emergency response when there is a transmission line failure. LADWP management has decided to have the in-house line crews of TC&M perform capital improvement jobs as opposed to using subcontractors. Conventional wisdom views outside contractors as more economical than in-house crews. However, LADWP management has made a decision to stay with in-house transmission construction and maintenance crews. This management decision is one of the biggest success factors for rapid restoration of a damaged overhead transmission line (OHTL). 2.2 TRAINED IN-HOUSE PERSONNEL The TC&M Organization consists of three superintendents that share overall management duties. One superintendent is responsible for fleet, secondary land use and purchasing coordination, the other two are field superintendents Under these two superintendents are eight (8) line foremen and two (2) labor supervisors. The line foremen direct 37 transmission patrolmen, 12 line maintenance assistants and two (2) heavy equipment operators. In the mid 1980s, the size of the transmission patrol staff was larger averaging approximately 80 transmission patrolmen. Over the years, this number has been reduced to its current number. All transmission patrolmen are journeymen linemen that were first trained in distribution work and then advanced to the transmission department. Transmission patrolmen get approximately 80 to 100 hours of classroom and field training per year at TC&M s training facility (see figure 2). However, much of the training is on the job training, since TC&M crews perform capital improvement jobs, such as, transmission line modifications, fiber optic installations as well as normal maintenance including live line maintenance on all transmission lines voltages. The TC&M line crews can and do build towers and string conductor on a regular basis. The 37 transmission patrolmen can work unsupervised because of their extensive training and experience. These transmission patrolmen can be dispatched from their home, which can save considerable time since the transmission patrolmen can proceed directly to a trouble
3 site. Transmission patrolmen are normally rotated around the entire service territory of LADWP so that they are familiar with the entire service territory. Figure 2 This LADWP training facility enables TC&M crews to train in all phases of construction and maintenance. Various DC, AC and temporary towers are erected. One aspect of planning, crucial to the successful handling of an emergency, is communication between the various elements of the emergency response team. A single point contact concept is used during emergency situations to insure that all communication between each department is direct and that the responsibilities are clearly defined. Using this concept, a single individual within each department is assigned to handle all intercompany contact in any major functional area. In addition, once a task is assigned to an individual, it becomes the obligation of that individual through completion thus establishing a clearly defined path of responsibility. This approach dramatically improved the efficiency of the inter-company communications, an area that, if not properly coordinated, can become a major problem in the hectic environment of an emergency situation. they are used to locate the damaged site and find the actual trouble location, weather permitting. Because TC&M line crews do most of the capital improvement jobs at LADWP, they are very familiar with the equipment and tools that are available to them because they use them on a normal, daily basis. Without this normal use of the construction tools and equipment, some material might not be operable when required in emergencies. A free flow of ideas is encouraged from the transmission patrolmen and foremen on new tools and equipment. As a result, many new tools are developed for a particular type of work that is required by LADWP. Some specialized construction equipment; such as winch trucks are strategically placed throughout the service territory. However during emergencies local equipment, such as backhoes and cranes, are typically rented from a variety of sources in Los Angeles and outlying areas. This equipment is readily available at this time. Most important, specialized transmission line construction equipment such as: puller pilot winder, with steel pulling line, all wheel drive tri bundle bull wheel tensioners for both 2 and 3 bundle conductors (see figure 3) and fiber optic bull wheel tensioners for pulling overhead ground wire and fiber optic cable are maintained by TC&M since they are not readily available from other sources. This equipment must be maintained in good working order for effective emergency response. In addition, other specialized equipment suitable for various terrains found along the OHTL right-of-ways (such as: all terrain rubber track vehicles for working in snow conditions, and all wheel drive 2 ½ ton trucks with front winches) are also maintained by TC&M. 2.3 CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT One of the most critical aspect of emergency restoration is effective communication between all of the parties involved. One of the most important pieces of equipment is communications equipment. The foremen and supervisors have been equipped with new satellite phones to improve communication between field and TC&M headquarters where most of the materials and equipment are kept. The satellite phones take care of dead spots in LADWP s service territory that normal cell phones and low band radio are unable to serve. Another major piece of equipment for emergency response is helicopters. LADWP has two Bell 206 Long Ranger helicopters that are primarily used by TC&M for: transportation of men and materials to remote job sites, staging materials in rough terrain, and as safety standbys for construction personnel at job sites. During transmission line emergency restoration, Figure 3 An all wheel drive tri bundle bull wheel tensioners for 2 bundle conductors is used to string 2312kcmil conductor during restoration of the DC Intertie. 2.4 EMERGENCY MATERIALS In order to perform any unplanned emergency work, critical materials must be on hand and available. LADWP typically carries standardized wire sizes in appropriate quantities including all terminations and
4 splices. For example, LADWP stocks over 30km of 2312kcmil ACSR Thrasher conductor which is a standard 500kV conductor. Most of LADWP s 230kV transmission lines were built between the 1950s and 1960s. In performing normal maintenance or replacement during emergencies, it is almost impossible to replace the older hardware from this era; therefore, TC&M has standardized new hardware and insulator assemblies for the 115, 138 and 230kV voltage classes. This standardization has resulted in considerable savings in time and money for routine maintenance and for emergency restoration. Since LADWP has a variety of different types of transmission towers, extra permanent tower steel for various types and classes of towers are stored close to the transmission lines where they will be needed. The majority of the transmission structures on the +/- 500kV HVDC Celilo-Sylmar (DC Intertie) transmission line are a guyed steel tower. Spare guyed steel towers are located at various yards along this transmission line. The majority of transmission towers for the 500kV DC Intermountain Power Project are heavy self-supporting steel towers and likewise these towers are located at yards along the transmission line right of way. In addition to this permanent tower steel available, a quantity of light weight modular aluminum restoration structures (ERS) made in accordance with IEEE Standard 1070[1] are maintained at TC&M headquarters. These lightweight structures are used whenever permanent steel is not readily available. The polymer insulators for emergency restoration and the hardware and guying components are maintained in 20ft storage containers for security and for easy of transportation to job sites. 3.0 RECENT EXAMPLES OF OHTL EMERGENCY RESTORATION BY LADWP 3.1 GENERAL RESTORATION PROCEDURES When an overhead transmission line failure occurs the first job is to find the trouble location. Weather permitting, helicopters are sent to find the trouble location and to report back. When the helicopter is sent, either a transmission patrolmen or a foreman from TC&M is sent along with the helicopter in order to report back. The first priority is to ensure the safety of the general public and the workers at the jobsite and to prevent further damage and/or cascading of the transmission line. Transmission patrolmen are sent directly to the jobsite in order to ground any conductors and to start snubbing operations of the downed conductors. Snubbing equipment consists of a variety of anchoring equipment, winch trucks, conductor splices and grips. In addition preplanned layouts of conductor puller and tensioner sites are sent to the site so that the work can be started on placing anchors for the pullers and tensioners Typically two foremen are sent to the jobsite to marshal equipment and to communicate back to TC&M headquarters. One foreman is responsible for mobilizing all required emergency materials to the trouble locations. The second foreman is responsible for mobilizing all equipment and other logistical support such as hotels, food and lodging for the TC&M crews. Next, all necessary critical emergency materials such as conductors, splices, insulators, hardware and structures are mobilized. If sufficient permanent steel is not available or if there is foundation damage, the modular lightweight IEEE Standard 1070 ERS structures are brought to the jobsite along with the 20ft storage container containing all the polymer insulators, hardware and anchoring for these modular temporary structures. After the line is stabilized and the area around the line is made safe for the general public and the workers, the next priority is to restore the line either permanently or temporarily considering the economic factors at that time. In today s economic environment, the fastest possible restoration scheme is usually the most desirable. At later dates during power plant maintenance, temporary towers can be taken down and permanent structures are rebuilt and the line restored to its original permanent condition. Since the mid 1980 s TC&M crews have had to restore several major OHTL failures. Most of these failures have been on the +/- 500kV HVDC Celilo-Sylmar (DC Intertie) transmission line. Other failures on 230kV transmission lines have been due to a variety of causes such as earthquakes and lightning strikes on wood poles. The next section will briefly discuss some of the failures on the DC Intertie and failures due to the 1994 Northridge earthquake. 3.2 FAILURES ON THE DC INTERTIE Between 1984 and 1986 the DC Intertie was uprated with several of the guyed suspension towers raised 2.1 to 6.4m. This was done by adding mast sections and lengthening guy wires without moving guy footings. On three different occasions sabotage has brought down these guyed towers. But the most extensive failures began in January 1988 when sixteen guyed and one self supporting tower collapsed due to high winds and cascading. Both of these incidences have been discussed previously and will not be discussed here [2], [3]. In February 1989 eight more guyed and two self supporting towers collapsed again due to high winds and cascading. From 1990 to 1992 the DC Intertie line was upgraded by reguying, moving footings and replacing defective hardware. This upgrade has effectively
5 prevented any further cascade type failures. However, isolated failures have still occurred. All of these failures were quickly restored by TC&M crews. The following is a brief summary of each failure and their restoration. Indian Wells site and assembled the tower for erection, completing the restoration (see figure 4) STORM DAMAGE At 1:20 p.m. on Saturday, February 4, 1989, high winds again damaged the DC Intertie. Eight guyed towers, one self-supporting angle and one self-supporting suspension tower were destroyed. The 2312 kcmil conductor and static wires in those 11 spans were too damaged to be reused, requiring the installation of approximately 16 km of 2312 kcmil conductor and 8 km of static wire. The Owens Gorge transmission line encountered structural damage to six towers. The 954 kcmil conductor was down on seven spans and required replacement of approximately 5 km of 954 kcmil conductor. The damage to the Owens Gorge line was caused primarily by the falling of the DC Intertie structures and conductors. TC&M personnel immediately activated their emergency response plan. After the initial single point contacts for the support functions were established, the Supervisors started the transporting of material and equipment to the soon-to-be established marshalling yard at Indian Wells. A remote command post was set up at Indian Wells to control: material and equipment delivered from Los Angeles; supply and personnel needs; lodging; meals; crew assignments; timekeeping; and progress logs. By 3:30 p.m. on February 4, the available on-duty Transmission Section personnel in Valley, Victorville and Los Angeles were to report to TC&M for instruction. The Transmission personnel were into the first day of the scheduled days off, and approximately 50 percent of the transmission line series personnel were off shift. However, by 9:00 p.m. of that day, all Transmission offduty supervisors were called out to travel and report to the Indian Wells damage site. The major tasks were divided into two areas: the Owens Gorge line restoration and the DC Intertie restoration which included the assembling and erection of eight instock guyed suspension towers, as well as anchor installation, pad development, and erection of three IEEE Standard 1070 ERS structures to replace the two selfsupporting towers. The Owens Gorge- transmission line was Okayed for service on the evening of Sunday, February 11, and the DC Intertie on the following Thursday, February 16. The permanent restoration of the DC Intertie was contingent on delivery of self-supporting tower steel, and the availability of DC Intertie. During the week of March 27, the northern crew transported the tower steel to the Figure 4 Permanent restoration of a self-supporting DC Intertie tower. The de-energized conductors are supported in the ERS, and the Owens line is shown at the right STORM DAMAGE On December 12, 1995, at 7:53 a.m., a guyed suspension tower of the DC Intertie collapsed under heavy wind. This tower had a height of 36m from the base to the crossarm elevation and was one of the towers that collapsed in 1988 as part of the wind cascade failure that took down seventeen other towers. The tower was permanently replaced using spare guyed tower components stored in the Mojave Yard. Approximately 100m of subconductor were replaced, and the remaining conductor was repaired by sanding and adding sleeves. The replacement tower was assembled, erected, and secured by the night of December 13. On December 14, all other restoration work was completed, and the line was available for service by 4:00 p.m AIRCRAFT COLLISION WITH TOWER On September 20, 1998, at 4:38 p.m., a twin-engine Cessna sliced through conductors and hit and destroyed a self-supporting tower on the DC Intertie. The aircraft burst into flames along the right-of-way just 20m from a housing development. LADWP crews immediately responded. They grounded and snubbed the conductor to prevent further damage (see figure 5), and a roadway under the line was barricaded for public safety. As a similar self-supporting tower was not available, LADWP crews installed a temporary IEEE Standard 1070 ERS structure. Due to the close proximity of residential houses, a steep down guy angle was required. This was quickly analyzed using the emergency restoration structure structural analysis computer programs. Crews work around the clock using night lights. Conductor hardware and insulators were replaced on the
6 adjacent tension tower and new conductor was spliced in and sagged. Spacers were installed and the line energized within 36 hours after the start of the outage. responsibility given to the staff and crews of TC&M has promoted an esprit de corps in that organization which fosters cooperation among the personnel of the TC&M Group. Granted, this type of capability will not be feasible for every utility. However, every utility and transmission line asset owner should address its own needs by a careful review of emergency service contracts, available emergency equipment and stocks of emergency materials, and most importantly their plans for dealing with emergency situations. Figure 5 Snubbing the twin bundle 2312kcmil conductor with conductor grips and a winch truck. Note the residential area to the left of the damaged tower. 3.3 THE 1994 NORTHRIDGE EARTHQUAKE. At 4:31 a.m. on January 17, 1994, the 6.6 magnitude Northridge earthquake hit Los Angeles. For the first time in the history of LADWP the entire city of Los Angeles went black. Only one transmission line was operational. A four circuit 230kV transmission tower, that normally brings 1500MW of power from the Castaic pump storage generating station north of the city, was completely destroyed, and several other towers were severely damaged. It was vital to restore one circuit of this line to support the black start procedures for the fossil fuel generating stations. Adding to the difficulty was the damage to several roadways leading to the site. Within eight hours after the earthquake, TC&M Crews were able to bring in a crane and assemble a vertical string of polymeric insulators and conductor travelers to lift one circuit and allow it to be energized (see figure6). In order to support the load that was being brought back on line, two more circuits of this critical 230kV line needed to be restored. In order to accomplish this a special double circuit narrow right-of-way ERS structure made from the same IEEE Standard 1070 components was erected next to the energized circuit in the crane (see figure 6). By the morning of January 19, all three circuits were energized. 4.0 CONCLUSION The ability to quickly react to any transmission line emergency at LADWP is due in large part to management s decision to maintain a skilled, trained inhouse workforce and to provide them the necessary equipment and materials to perform the job. The Figure 6 One circuit at the left is supported by the crane; two other circuits are supported by an IEEE Standard 1070 ERS. 5.0 REFERENCES [1] IEEE Guide for the Design and Testing of Transmission Modular Restoration Structure Components, IEEE Std , ISBN [2] J.

We help you to spot and wear trends before they happen with curated items and looks that will take your style to the next level. This is what you #need #want #love
Logo Visor
Be a proud member of the Miu Miu club and get on the logo craze with this understated but punchy accessory. Bonus points for not messing up your mane.
Patent Coat
Stay glossy and turn all heads with the Attico belted trench coat in a daring red. Seriously sexy.
Sporty Fanny Pack
Athleisure is still on the agenda for the season, and with this Marc Jacobs fanny pack shaped in a sport way finished in a luxurious fabric, you'll be the epitome of chic-ironic fashion.
Charm Necklace
When there are so many necklace options available out there, but you only have one neck to wear them on, it's a good idea to turn to layering. You can express yourself in more than one way and make delicate but bold statement such as with these charm necklaces from Dior. Mix and match in several colours for a maximum impact.
Printed Jacquard Jacket
The geometric prints on this Emporio Armani jacket exude the image of professionalism with a modern twist.
Printed Jacquard Trousers
Switch it up a bit from the usual black and boring bottoms with these geometric printed trousers from Emporio Armani and put some zing in your step.
Quilted Leather Fanny Pack
Love it or hate it, fanny packs will be all the rage for 2018. This is Miu Miu's luxe take on the fanny pack, and with its sexy curves and premium quilted leather, this bag packs serious attitude.
Oversized Turtleneck
This turtleneck from Balenciaga could easily be the most versatile item one could own. The exaggerated proportions of the turtleneck scream comfort and it's long enough that it can be worn as a dress, or tucked in as a slouchy top.
Pleated floral Skirt
Balenciaga always knows how to go through your grandma's closet, pick something at random, and make it cool. This floral pleated skirt is not exception and it can easily dress down an outfit, and with the bright pattern, this skirt will easily take you into the hotter seasons.
Draped Leather Pumps
This could very well be the definition of happy feet. Balenciaga takes a sharp and pointy shoe and juxtaposes it with a twisted sheath of buttery soft lambskin. We dare you to look at these shoes and not feel warm inside.
Adam Selman for Le Specs. They are called The Fugitive. An easy way to look like one of the Hadid sisters or the Kardasian sisters. Rihanna has also been seen sporting a pair. It's the retro glamour but modern styling look of the frame that make them win.
Pearl Choker
Chanel. Faux pearl choker necklace
Denim Jacket
Balenciaga. Oversized denim jacket but with a new design twist. The seams in the center of the jacket sets up the jacket to be able to shroub – even off both shoulders

text: Home > Medical > HIV/Aids > News 21 November 2007 SA has highest HIV rate South Africa is now officially the country with the highest prevalence of HIV in the world, a new UN report said Wednesday. 0 More than three-quarters of Aids-related deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa and South Africa is now officially the country with the highest prevalence of HIV in the world, a new UN report said Wednesday. Improved monitoring of the pandemic has led the United Nations to revise its estimates, particularly in Southern Africa and Asia, resulting in a major revision in the assessment of India's epidemic, the country previously thought to be worst-hit. SA has most infections "South Africa is the country with the largest number of HIV infections in the world," read the UNAIDS annual report on the epidemic for 2007. While the report did not give a figure, the South African government currently estimates some 5.5 million of the country's 48 million population are living with the disease. While Aids continued to be the leading cause of death in Africa, sub-Saharan Africa was the worst affected region. "More than two out of three (68 percent) adults and nearly 90 percent of children infected with HIV live in this region, and more than three in four (76 percent) Aids deaths in 2007 occurred there, illustrating the unmet need for antiretroviral treatment in Africa." Women in the region bear the brunt of the disease. 61% are women "Unlike other regions, the majority of people (61 percent) living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa are women," the report found. "It is estimated that 1.7 million people were newly infected with HIV in 2007, bringing to 22.5 million the total number of people living with the virus." Southern Africa was the worst affected in the region with national adult HIV prevalence over 15 percent in eight countries. "While there is evidence of a significant decline in the national HIV prevalence in Zimbabwe, the epidemics in most of the rest of the subregion have either reached or are approaching a plateau." The UN data showed that adult HIV prevalence was either stable or has started to decline in many parts of Africa. According to the report, Kenya and Zimbabwe were some of the countries where the slowing trend of new infections was most evident, with similar shifts in Burkino Faso, Ivory Coast and Mali. Worldwide, new infections of Aids were levelling off, and of the 2.5 million people newly infected overall, more than half come from sub-Saharan Africa. – (Sapa-AFP) Read more: HIV/Aids Centre Global Aids numbers falling November 2007 What to Read Next {{item.title}} Read Health24's Comments Policy Comment on this story 0 comments Comments have been closed for this article.

You're a journalist. Don't be offended – it happens to the best of us. It began when you started summarising the debaucherous happenings of last night in your Facebook status, and then when you informed your stalkers and co. on Twitter that you've finally managed 'The Half Lotus' position in your yoga training.
So – whether you're aware of it or not – your contribution to live media is considered journalism. Albeit, a journalism that is concerned with 'ordinary' individuals; a celebration of those not directly involved in the autopsy of Michael Jackson or Obama's visions for Guantanamo Bay. You and this blog have this 'ordinary' in common.
This blog is written with the intention of addressing the more 'mundane' things – the events have become 'insignificant' compared to heinous crimes or spectacular celebrities. Yet the commentary on daily life is surprisingly engrossing, why shouldn't it be when you are engaging with material that is realistic and immediate? It is an opportunity to explore themes that relate to you. Consider punch lines that capture your dilemmas, rather than those of distant and detached idols who mainstream news insists on worshipping.
While you were being convinced to take Glamour's 'Who Wore it Better?' seriously, you forgot that that you had your own opinions – opinions that are more relevant and entertaining. This blog looks at some of the most successful … and unsuccessful journalism, providing critical and entertaining views that reflect your interests. It employs the voice of the 'ordinary' person and assumes they're more sophisticated than what mainstream media would have them be.
Because it's written by part of the 'audience', this blog is accessible and readable. It doesn't have the pretentiousness that 'academic' journalists subtly portray. It's only authority is derived from the fact that it's writers come from the readership, creating a loyalty and intimacy that cannot be achieved through mainstream journalism.
Lets take a moment to swallow some academic arrogance and admit that it's difficult to consume endless traditional, hard news. Yes – take an interest in world around you, but don't neglect the voice that most echoes yours: the average blogger.
But notice too, apart from shortening paragraphs that serve your diminishing interest in this post, that you have the opportunity to comment. Use your mouth (…an inappropriate instruction for computer media) and engage… simply because you can.
