The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between glycemic control and the factors of knowledge about diabetes, resilience, depression and anxiety among Brazilian adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes.
This cross-sectional study included 85 adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes, aged between 11–22 years, with an average age of 17.7 ± 3.72 years. Glycemic control degree was evaluated through HbA1c. To assess psychosocial factors, the following questionnaires were used: resilience (Resilience Scale, RS) and anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, HADS). The Diabetes Knowledge Assessment Scale (DKNA) was used to assess knowledge about diabetes.
Significant correlations were found between HbA1c and resilience, anxiety and depression. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the only variable which presented significant association with the value of HbA1c was depression.
Depression has a significant association with higher HbA1c levels, as demonstrated in a regression analysis. The results suggest that depression, anxiety and resilience should be considered in the design of a multidisciplinary approach to type 1 diabetes, as these factors were significantly correlated with glycemic control. Glycemic control was not correlated with knowledge of diabetes, suggesting that theoretical or practical understanding of this disease is not by itself significantly associated with appropriate glycemic control (HbA1c ≤ 7.5%).
KeywordsGlycemic control Type 1 diabetes Psychosocial factors Depression Resilience
The importance of tight blood glucose control for the subsequent prevention of diabetes complications is well established: higher HbA1c levels in type 1 diabetes are associated with conditions such as retinopathy and nephropathy [1, 2]. Despite the development of diabetes therapy during recent decades, the quality of diabetes care, in general requires improvement. Effective educational programs aimed at managing glycemic control need to address not only knowledge about the procedures, but also psychosocial factors [1].
In order to contribute to the development of educational activities for young people with type 1 diabetes, as well as promote knowledge about diabetes, this study assesses factors that have recognized scope and impact on glycemic control: on the one hand, depressive and anxiety symptoms; and on the other, resilience, which encompasses many protective factors such as social support, hope, self-efficacy, problem-focused strategies, etc.
The knowledge each patient has about diabetes is a basic element in educational programs for type 1 diabetes patients [3]. The patient is required to have basic knowledge about insulin, carbohydrate counting, diet, etc. Knowledge is one of many important variables involved in diabetes education. A study has demonstrated the positive impact that knowledge has on glycemic control [4]. However, others suggest that the level of knowledge about diabetes is not a predictor of good glycemic control and generally recommend the need for further research in this field [5, 6].
The relationships between psychosocial factors and glycemic control in diabetic patients are well described in the literature. It is apparent that the chronicity of type 1 diabetes and the demands for management provide a fertile environment for adjustment problems. One of the most studied psychosocial factors in this area is depression. Depressive symptoms occur at higher levels in patients with diabetes than in the general population and are also associated with higher HbA1c levels [7–9]. Patients with diabetes who have clinical depression present higher rates of clinical complications, hospitalization and health expenditures [10]. In patients with type 1 diabetes, depression has a significant influence on treatment adherence and health outcomes [11].
Resilience is a psychosocial factor that has been gaining academic importance. It is a broad concept that encompasses an individual's resources for adequately dealing with adversity and achieving positive results in such situations. Resilience involves optimism in the face of situations, strategies for problem-focused resolution, self-efficacy, and self-confidence [12]. In people with physical illnesses, resilience relates to factors such as self-care, adherence to treatment, quality of life as related to health, illness perception, pain perception and adherence to physical activity [13]. In a study of individuals with type 2 diabetes, DeNisco found that HbA1c levels and resilience scores had a significant negative correlation, suggesting that resilience may influence glycemic control [14]. In young people with diabetes, resilience is a protective factor, expressed to different degrees in each patient, when facing stressful situations [15].
The association of depression and diabetes mellitus is supported by numerous studies [6–10]. Some studies have evaluated the extent of resilience in diabetes patients [12–15]. However, we found no studies that simultaneously evaluated the relationship between glycemic control and knowledge about diabetes, depressive symptoms, anxiety and resilience in type 1 diabetes, particularly in young Brazilians. By better understanding the complex relationship between these factors and glycemic control, the present study will contribute to a greater understanding of the factors related to glycemic control in young people with type 1 diabetes and may also be useful for planning and implementing educational activities for such patients.
Thus, the present study aimed to (A) evaluate the correlation between glycemic control and knowledge about diabetes, resilience, anxiety, and depression in young Brazilians with type 1 diabetes and (B) verify the significant effect of each variable on glycemic control in a multiple linear regression analysis.
Research design
This was a cross-sectional study that included 90 adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes who were randomly invited to participate. These patients were being followed up at the outpatient public division of the Diabetes Center of the Federal University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil. After Institutional Ethical Committee approval, interviews were conducted from May to September 2012. The inclusion criteria were as follows: diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, no mental disorders, absence of visual or hearing disabilities. The patients recruited had long-term type 1 diabetes diagnosed according to the American Diabetes Association criteria [16]. During the study, as in real life, they continued to adjust insulin doses based on glucose control, diet and exercise, according to the Brazilian Diabetes Society guidelines [17].
Of the invited patients, 85 (94.3%) agreed to participate in this study and 5 (5.7%) refused to participate, either because they did not want to participate or they lacked sufficient time to be interviewed. The age of the participants ranged from 11– 22 years old, with an average age of 1 7.7 ± 3.72 y.o (mean ± SD).
After signed consent was obtained, demographic data and the time of diagnosis were also collected. Informed consent was obtained from the patients over 18 years of age and from the family responsible, for patients under 18. On the same occasion, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was evaluated and questionnaires were administered to assess the following variables: knowledge about diabetes, resilience, anxiety and depression.
All questionnaires were completed online at the Diabetes Center, and the data were stored in a database on the University's server. The interviews took between 20 and 30 minutes and always occurred in the presence of a researcher and an assistant.

Main variable
Glycemic control
The HbA1c was used as a parameter in order to evaluate the degree of glycemic control. Tests were performed within the 4 months preceding the interview. HbA1c was evaluated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HLPC), using a Tosoh G7 Auto HPLC. This method is certified by the National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program - USA.
Secondary variables
Knowledge about diabetes
The Diabetes Knowledge Scale (DKN-A), developed by Beeney in 2000, was used to assess the level of knowledge about diabetes [18]; it was validated for Brazilian Portuguese by Torres et al. [19] and was also validated for use in young people and adolescents by Fitzgerald in 1998 [20].
The resilience scale (RS) developed by Wagnild and Young in 1993 [21], and validated and adapted to Portuguese by Pesce in 2005 [22], was used. The RS questionnaire was also validated for use in young people and adolescents by Ahern in 2006 [23].
Anxiety and depression
Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), developed in 1983 by Zigmond and Snaith [24]. The scale consists of 14 questions; 7 items for depression (HADS-D) and 7 for anxiety (HADS-A). The scores for each subscale range from 0–21. This tool was validated for Portuguese by Gorenstein in 2000 [25], and was validated for use in young people and adolescents by White et al. in 1999 [26].
Statistical analysis
Correlations between quantitative data were estimated using Pearson correlation. For ordinal data, the authors used the Spearman coefficient. A multiple linear regression model was prepared to simultaneously evaluate the effects of the factors (knowledge about diabetes, resilience, depression and anxiety) on HbA1c. The level of significance was set at p ≤ 0.05. Data were analyzed using the SPSS software package version 18.0.
The HbA1c level in subjects in the present study was 9.3 ± 2. 3% (mean ± sd), ranging from 5.8 to 16.1%. Of the subjects, 65 (76.5%) had HbA1c levels >7.5%, and 20 (23.5%) ≤ 7.5%.

The results of the present study among Brazilian adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes show that 76.5% of the subjects had an HbA1c level above 7.5%. In this sample, the mean HbA1c was 9.3 ± 2.3% (mean ± sd). The goal of treatment for young people and adolescents with type 1 diabetes is an HbA1c value of 7.5% or less [2]. A high percentage of this study's population had suboptimal glycemic control (HbA1c ≥ 7.5%), and thus was within the risk range for the development of diabetic complications [2]. This finding confirms the need for constant efforts to understand the factors that have an impact on glycemic control, aiming at promoting educational activities for this population.
Among the variables assessed, only depressive symptoms were significantly associated with high HbA1c in a regression analysis. This result is consistent with the literature and corroborates studies which show a link between depression, higher HbA1c levels, hospitalization and complications [7–10, 27]. This is probably because depression carries low self-esteem and neglect of self-care behaviors. We can infer that a patient with depressive symptoms will not take care of glycemic monitoring, and may become careless with diet and physical activities.
The anxiety scores in the study subjects were significantly correlated with HbA1c, but were not significantly associated in a multiple regression analysis. Shabam et al. report a different outcome in type 1 diabetes adults via a multiple regression analysis, showing anxiety as a predictor of high HbA1c; they also used the HADS [27]. Anxiety symptoms are more common in patients with diabetes than in the general population [28]. The results of these studies converge on the same implication: anxiety is a significant factor that must be taken into account and addressed in glycemic control programs.
The results of the present study indicate that resilience is also significantly correlated with HbA1c. This result is concordant with the preliminary study of Jaser, which shows that good glycemic control (HbA1c ≤ 7.5%) is associated with resilience and the use of appropriate coping strategies (e.g., problem solving, emotional expression, acceptance, and social support) [29]. In a literature review, Bradshaw states that resilience can be increased in patients with diabetes; although these resilience trainings do not demonstrate a direct impact on glycemic control, they result in improvements in self-care behaviors [30]. It can be inferred from these results that training in resilience should be incorporated into programs for this population, covering topics such as: optimal sleep, physical activity, appropriate food choices, blood glucose monitoring, compliance with medication, self-efficacy and social support.
In this study, the level of knowledge about diabetes was not significantly correlated with HbA1c. This indicates that both well- and poorly-controlled subjects exhibit similar levels of basic knowledge about diabetes. Previous studies also found no correlation between knowledge about diabetes and glycemic control [5, 6, 31].
Although knowledge is not significantly associated with glycemic control, it is a prerequisite for a patient to perform appropriate self-care [4]. Knowledge education per se may not, however, be the major operative factor in improving control of diabetes. Strategies to provide information must be combined with other behavioral strategies to motivate and help patients effectively manage their diabetes.
Study limitations
There are a few important limitations to this study. The first limitation is the inability to assess causal factors due to the study's cross-sectional design. Another limitation is that variables known to have an effect on glycemic control were not examined in the current research, for example, social networks, self-efficacy, self-esteem, and family environment.
Future longitudinal studies are needed to explore the causal relationships of these factors, as well as studies assessing the effectiveness of interventions that contribute to better glycemic control in this population.
The high percentage of patients with higher HbA1c levels (76.5% with HbA1c > 7.5%) found in the present study implies that there is a need for effective multidisciplinary actions to improve the glycemic control of these adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes. It is important that diabetes care groups develop and evaluate specific programs for this population. Glycemic control was not correlated with knowledge of diabetes, suggesting that only theoretical or practical understanding about this disease is not associated with good glycemic control. It can be concluded that information by itself is not significantly associated with good control.
As this study has shown, depression has a significant association with higher HbA1c levels and anxiety and resilience are significantly correlated with glycemic control. These factors should be addressed in educational programs aimed at improving glycemic control in adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes.

It's been a couple of weeks again since I've posted some pictures of our everyday happenings. We had great Christmas Holidays which were really relaxing and enjoyed by all of us. At the end of it all, we were all very ready to begin school again.
Outside Playtime
We live very close to a creek that is dry over winter. This is a fun place for all the neighbor kids The tractor that clears the streets always pushes up a large pile of snow on this corner and the kids get to slide off the snow pile into the creek. It is great fun! The kids especially love it when I come out with them and slide too. Here 'Nea and Dilly are both ready to slide down on their bums.
Beautiful Scenery
I will be the first to admit that I'm not the world's biggest fan of winter. I was born in July and I love hot weather. However, I live in the Canadian Prairie's, where it is cold, cold, cold for a good portion of the year. All that aside, winter is really very beautiful and if I dress properly-I really enjoy being outside. We all know that it is good for our health to get some fresh area at least semi-regularly. On this particular day, we actually walked along the creek for a long distance. We hadn't done this before and I don't know why because it is gorgeous!
Velcro Craft Sticks
Awhile back, I posted on Facebook about Dilly and his inability to find things to do. I asked for solutions to this problem. At the time, he was constantly complaining about what to do. Honestly, I got a lot of great suggestions and I am so glad that I thought to ask the question. Two answers, specifically, helped me. One was to get together activities and set the timer for him to spend about 20-60 minutes doing these assigned activities. The other suggestion was busy bags. It was really funny because I had used busy bags with my girls, but had completely forgotten about them for Dilly. I did a google search and got a whole pile of good ideas. These Velcro craft sticks are one of the ideas I got. I haven't even finished with my whole bag of 75 jumbo Popsicle sticks because I miscalculated the amount of Velcro I would need, but already you can see that he has been very creative with them. This particular creation was called a kite.
I hope you enjoyed a little glimpse into our "Everyday" lives. Have a great weekend!

The Insemination Window Provides a Distorted View of Sperm Competition in Birds

The aim of this study is to identify and rectify a misunderstanding about the optimal timing of inseminations in birds. In species laying clutches of more than one egg, a copulation during the hour following egg-laying can result in sperm reaching the site of fertilization in time to fertilize the next egg to be laid. Cheng et al. (1983) referred to this period as the insemination window and proposed that it was `an especially favourable period' for males to obtain extra-pair copulations. As stated in their paper, this is true only in terms of the next ovum to be fertilized, but subsequent authors assumed that the insemination window represents a general peak in female fertility and have made predictions about the optimal timing of extra-pair behaviours and paternity guards relative to it. Far from being a general peak in female fertility, we show by a re-analysis of Cheng et al.'s data and by using published information on the domestic fowl Gallus domesticus, turkey Gallopavo meleagris and Muscovy duck Cairina moschata, that inseminations either just after egg-laying or just before it are much less likely overall to result in fertilization than inseminations made at other times. The reduced efficacy of inseminations made close to the time of egg-laying occurs because the retention of sperm by females inseminated at this time is low. The fact that inseminations made around the time of egg-laying in the domestic fowl, turkey and Muscovy duck have a reduced probability of fertilization is consistent with the fact that very few wild birds, even those in which sperm competition is intense, alter their copulation or mate guarding behaviour during the insemination window.

Hydrogen is a clean fuel but it's not an alternate energy
source, so it's not going to save the planet, improve our health or protect
any time soon.
I'm not sure how this one got started but it probably has its roots in the
environmental movement. The belief seems to be that running our vehicles with
hydrogen will stop air pollution, reduce global warming and remove our dependence
on foreign nations for fossil fuels.
Not exactly.
President Bush introduced his vision for a hydrogen economy in his 2003 State
of the Union message, and the press jumped on it. That initiative didn't get
too far, though. It wasn't mentioned in this year's State of the Union (apparently
steroid use is more
important) and is currently sitting in the Senate Finance Committee with few
signs of
A couple
of weeks ago, State Governors Jeb
Bush and Arnold Schwarzenegger got into the act, (as did several of
the Democratic presidential contenders). Schwarzenegger is
the worst, as he says we can have "Hydrogen
Highways" in California by 2010.
Proving, once again, that many politicians don't know squat. The
problem is that while GM's claim may be true
"We expect to have a commercially viable fuel cell by 2010, a vehicle
that can be bought by consumers. It won't cost more than the other vehicles
in that category on that day," said GM spokesman Scott Fosgard. [Schwarzenegger
Is Driving Force 1/21/2004]
if it comes to pass, it will increase pollution, increase the risk of
global warming and increase our foreign energy dependence.
Here's the speed reader version of why:
1. Hydrogen is not an
alternate energy source – it's a mechanism for storing and transferring
energy from a source to where it's needed. While hydrogen is
the most
element in the universe, it's not just hanging around – it's all tied up
in other matter.
2. Separating it out so it can be used as a fuel takes a lot of energy,
much more than is used to run our cars and trucks now:
- If we produce hydrogen from natural gas, there goes our energy
independence. (This
also costs about $4 a gallon, double that if you add the same
state and federal taxes and transportation charges we have on gasoline.)
- If we use electricity to get hydrogen from water,
that electricity is mostly produced using natural gas so
ditto. (This costs three times as
much as using natural gas as the feedstock. )
- If we shift over to coal to generate
the electricity to produce the hydrogen, that includes
a bonus of sulfur, acid rain, filling in
of streams and
and otherconsequences.
- Our increased demand for energy will clash with China's increasing
energy demands as they continue their rapid growth in manufacturing,
producing rapidly escalating prices.
3. All the extraction methods generate huge, make that horrendous, amounts
of carbon dioxide, far more than we're generating now, so there goes
global warming.
4. And once you've got the hydrogen, you have a storage
problem: it's explosive, reactive and leaks through containments at
a rate of several per cent a
day (a tank a month just vanishing into thin air).
5. Even assuming
you can solve all those problems, changing the infrastructure to handle
a hydrogen transportation economy would
cost about $5,000 per car,
with filling stations running $250,000 to $500,000 each.
The National Academy of Sciences summed it up last week:
"In the best-case scenario, the transition to a hydrogen economy would
take many decades, and any reductions in oil imports and carbon dioxide
emissions are likely to be minor during the next 25 years," said the
academy, an independent group that makes scientific recommendations to
Congress. [Reuters 2/4/2004]
Hydrogen is not a silver bullet, so let's not put all our resources there.
Instead, let's actually spend some money (rather than bottling it up in committee)
on research, because you never know what you'll
Last week, scientists came up with a method that may be able to store
hydrogen at -320 degrees F instead of -423 degrees F. There could be a
breakthrough lurking that will reduce the 400%
for producing photovoltaic energy. Carbon sequestration could become feasible
and coal would become more viable. Ethanol may already be a better
choice for fuel cells in the long run. Hell, enviros and greenies may stop
suing to stop installation of wind machines for generating electricity
because they kill birds.
And what we really need is an alternate energy source, not just a different
means of energy distribution.
So let's not just jump on the hydrogen bandwagon. It could be a very
costly ride in the wrong direction.
You might want to let your Senators and House
Representative know. You should probably send
Governor Schwwarzenegger a
note, too.

Learning Outside the Academy: International Research Perspectives on Lifelong LearningBy: Richard Edwards (editor), Susan Whittaker (editor), Jim Gallacher (editor)Paperback
More than 4 weeks availability
DescriptionThis book weaves together different strands of research in the area of lifelong learning that concentrates particularly on learning in alternative settings and ways, such experiential learning and informal and community learning. Drawing upon international research, the book examines how these strands of research can contribute to each other. The contributions to this book are based on material presented at a conference at the Centre for Research in Lifelong Learning, UK, and they focus on research into key issues of policy and practice in lifelong learning. Establishing a wider framework for debate about the meaning and significance of lifelong learning, this timely and thought-provoking book provides practitioners in the field with a relevant and current discussion on some very important ideas about non-formal education.

Outstanding 4.7 /5 from 19 reviews
We booked a room here as it was half way between the south of france and the channel tunnel and we wanted to break the journey up. we got ther on a Tuesday night and everything in the beautiful town was closed and we wanted food but not a full sit down meal in his popular hotel restaurant, although the food looked Michelin star!.The owner Monsieur Jobert was always very polite and went out of his way to look after our family. He brought us a plate of delicious pates and bread, orange juice, ham, cheese etc to our room. The rooms were spotless and our room was huge and as a family of five it was still very spacious. If we go to France next year I will definitely stay there again Mr. C.Batchford.

Today is a big day in the nation's human-rights history. Five "detainees" captured and held for their alleged roles in terrorism and other acts against the United States who are being imprisoned at Guantánamo Bay are facing a US military judge today in open court. What happens to them will provide powerful evidence of how far down the human-rights-abuse spectrum we have slid.

Ed Miliband tried to widen the divide inside the Liberal Democrats yesterday by inviting disaffected members to play an important role in Labour's root-and-branch review of its policies. The Labour leader sought to exploit the tensions inside Nick Clegg's party after the Government's decision to raise university tuition fees, saying that Liberal Democrats could work closely with Labour without leaving their own party.
Mr Miliband made clear that he wanted Labour to build close links with disenchanted Liberal Democrats to revive hopes of a progressive alliance between the two parties. He also made clear that he would demand Mr Clegg's resignation as the price of any deal between the Liberal Democrats and Labour in a future hung parliament. "I would find it very difficult to work with Nick Clegg," he said. At his first monthly press conference, Mr Miliband announced that Richard Grayson, the Liberal Democrats' former director of policy, would work with Liam Byrne, the Shadow Cabinet minister who is heading Labour's two-year policy review, on how the process could be influenced by Liberal Democrats.
"I think there's real disquiet on the left and indeed centre of the [Liberal Democrat] Party about the way the party is going," Mr Miliband said.
"There are many people who are deeply frustrated and even ashamed at the way their progressive tradition has been hijacked by the Coalition. To those who are reluctant to abandon ship but are concerned about the direction of their party, I invite them to work with us on issues of common interest."
Mr Miliband said there was common ground between Labour and Liberal Democrats on social mobility, the economy, electoral reform, civil liberties, the environment and fairness. He accused Mr Clegg of being used by a Prime Minister whose "real purpose was to justify an economic agenda of the right".
SeniorLiberal Democrats said there was little prospect of any official co-operation until the Labour leader dropped his demand for Mr Clegg to stand down. Insiders criticised Mr Grayson for "colluding" with Labour.
Tim Farron, the Liberal Democrat president, said: "Labour has just spent 13 years sucking up to Rupert Murdoch and George Bush – why would any sane progressive even give it a second glance? As part of the Coalition Government, Liberal Democrats have started fixing Labour's economic mess."

Ira James Grow Sr.
Ira James Grow Sr., 84, a native and a long-time resident of Morgan City, passed away on May 23, 2013, at his residence.
He was a loving and devoted husband, father, brother, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle and friend. He will be deeply missed and loved always.
Ira's love for the water began working on a tugboat at the age of 14. He then became a U.S. Navy seaman and traveled the world to serve his country. His work experience involved being a boat captain, then as a crane operator/tool pusher for Kerr-McGee/Transworld Drilling in the oilfield industry locally and abroad for more than 35 years.
After retirement, his later years brought him to his camps in the Atchafalaya Basin where he spent many days with his family and friends fishing, crabbing, and enjoying the outdoors.
The vast knowledge he learned over the years has always been used to help family, friends, and others in need. Anytime anyone needed help or something fixed, they could always depend on Ira.
He is survived by his wife, Cecile Lombas Grow of Morgan City; one daughter, Cheryl Grow Carpenter of New Orleans; two sons, Ira J. Grow Jr. of Morgan City and Terry W. Grow Sr. and wife, Theresa Jones Grow, of Bayou Vista. Ira has eight grandchildren, Laura, Amanda, Liberty, Ira, Amy, Terry, Colt and Asa; and 11 great-grandchildren.
He is also survived by two sisters, Vada Belle Breaux and Golden Mickler. Many nieces and nephews also survive him.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Eugene and Levie Concienne Grow; three brothers, Edison Sr., Wilbur, and Gordon; a son, Gary Dean Grow; grandson, Travis Wayne Grow; and best friend, Trouble Dog.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests prayers and blessings. Memorial contributions may be given to the charity of donor's choice in Ira's name.
A memorial visitation will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, May 30, 2013, at Twin City Funeral Home with a memorial service beginning at 8 p.m.

text: KCP&L Kansas City's Iconic Power & Light Building Reborn As Downtown Luxury Apartments By Kevin Collison • Jul 18, 2016 Julie Denesha / KCUR 89.3 The historic Power & Light Building, a beloved Kansas City landmark, is embarking on a new life as one of the city's swankiest apartment addresses. With a grand opening set for Tuesday, the Power & Light Apartments redevelopment joins an increasingly competitive downtown market. KCP&L Inks Deals To Buy Energy From Two Missouri Wind Farms By Maria Carter • Apr 7, 2016 Courtesy of KCP&L Kansas City Power and Light has agreed to buy wind energy from two plants now under construction in northwest Missouri. NextEra Energy Resources is building its Osborn wind farm east of St. Joseph. It's expected to be up and running by the end of the year and provide 200 megawatts of energy. A little further north, Tradewind Energy plans to complete the 300 megawatt Rock Creak wind farm near Tarkio, Missouri by September 2017. KCP&L To Enter Solar Market With Plan For Panels In Jackson County By Elle Moxley • Nov 17, 2015 Kansas City Power & Light wants to build a solar farm in southeastern Jackson County, near Greenwood. If the Missouri Public Service Commission greenlights the application next month, the solar farm could be online as soon as April. "The sun and sunshine is free, so to the extent we can harness that, there's very little operational cost to running this solar farm," says KCP&L spokesman Chuck Caisley. KCP&L Rate Increase Approved, Regulators Split On Decision By Stephen Koranda • Sep 11, 2015 The Kansas Corporation Commission has approved a rate increase of 9 percent for customers of Kansas City Power & Light. The increase was a compromise allowing the electricity company to collect an additional $48 million per year from its 250,000 Kansas electricity customers. KCP&L says the increase pays for power plant upgrades and means a cleaner, more reliable electric system. KCC Commissioner Pat Apple voted against the proposal. He says Kansas customers of KCP&L consistently have to pay more for electricity than customers on the Missouri side of the border. KCP&L Plans City-Wide Electric Vehicle Charging Network By Alex Smith • Jan 26, 2015 Alex Smith / KCUR The Kansas City area may soon be home to a network of 1,000 electric vehicle charging stations capable of serving 10,000 electric cars and trucks. Kansas City Power and Light Co. announced Monday plans to create the Clean Charge Network in partnership with Nissan and ChargePoint, a charging station manufacturer. Thousands Still Without Power Across Kansas City Metro By Ben Palosaari • Jul 8, 2014 kcpl.com Updated, 1:30 p.m. According to an update on the KCP&L website: "We have restored nearly 90 percent of our affected customers. During the span of the storm, we had approximately 73,000 customers without power...Currently, we have approximately 6,500 customers remaining without power." Our original post continues here: Although there were no serious injuries reported in Monday night's severe storms, rain and powerful wind gusts knocked out power for thousands across the Kansas City metropolitan area. KCP&L: KC Would See No Pause In Solar Rebates By Dan Verbeck • Jul 15, 2013 Kansas City Power and Light says it has tried to ease the sting of its request to Missouri regulators for suspension of some popular solar rebates. The stated utility plan would keep the bulk of Kansas City inside payment territory. The request to the Missouri Public Service Commission earlier this month asked some suspension of solar paybacks take effect September 3. There was a swift outcry over the payments mandated by law. The program grew out of a 2008 statewide referendum. Protest Of Proposed Solar Rebate End By Kansas City Utility By Dan Verbeck • Jul 11, 2013 Dan Verbeck / KCUR A Kansas City-based alternative energy company will protest a request by KCP&L to stop giving solar rebates in Missouri. The utility calculates the rebates are too costly. The program is an outgrowth of 2008 passage of Proposition C to support a renewable energy standard. It required utilities to start offering solar rebates in 2010 and indefinitely. KCP&L argued funds have been depleted, and the utility has requested permission to stop offering solar rebates after September 3. Power Outages Diminish As Crews Labor Into Monday By Dan Verbeck & Briana O'Higgins • May 20, 2013 Theodore Scott/Flickr--Creative Commons Updated 10:15 a.m Storms Aftermath Shows Power Restoration: Utility troubleshooters from KCP&L have restored a large portion of service to harder hit areas. The utility's web site indicated the Raytown area had 237 outages just after 10 a.m. Six hours earlier there were 4500 without electricity. Missouri outages of more than one hundred customers in other area districts and cities include: Electric Surcharge Bill Stalls In Missouri Senate By Marshall Griffin • May 2, 2013 Marshall Griffin / St. Louis Public Radio Legislation has stalled in the Missouri Senate that would allow investor-owned electric companies to charge consumers for infrastructure improvements. Opponents argued that Ameren Missouri, Empire District and Kansas City Power and Light (KCP&L) make enough money to pay for improvements without levying an Infrastructure System Replacement Surcharge (ISRS) on their customers. Several Senators are blocking the measure, including Republican Rob Schaaf of St. Joseph. Including Power Utilities In Command Center Boosted Snowstorm Fight-ability By Dan Verbeck • Mar 6, 2013 kccg Some of the first aftermath data from two major and back-to-back winter snow storms is filtering out of Kansas City city hall. Adding two agencies to the Emergency Operations Center was counted as a positive to the Public Safety and Emergency Services Committee of the Council. Those private or quasi-private operations served public transit and distribution of electrical power. The Ops nerve center stayed open 24 hours in the storm of February 21, another 30 hours during last week's heavy, wet snow. Power Outages Reduced From Kansas City Region Snow Storm By Dan Verbeck • Feb 27, 2013 Robin Cross / KCUR Kansas City area residents have fought their way out of a second major snowstorm in less than a week. Some areas got upwards of a foot of new snow. Power Loss Plagues Parts Of KC Region After 13-Inch Snowfall By Dan Verbeck • Feb 26, 2013 Frank Morris / KCUR This snowstorm brought the added burden of power outages, so wet and heavy it tore down trees and lines. There was a heavier snow on the south side of the metro. Downed Limbs Pose Dangers By Maria Carter • Feb 26, 2013 Annie McMahill / KCUR The recent run of severe weather has resulted in extensive power outages and downed power lines throughout Kansas City, Mo. Tens of thousands throughout the metro are without power. Because of the higher temps this storm (~ 33 degrees), the snow is very moist and heavy, resulting in accumulation on trees and power lines. This accumulation is causing trees and power lines to sag and is a greater risk of downed power lines. KCP&L has called in additional personnel and are progressing through restoration. Power Outages Add To Winter Storm Suffering By Dan Verbeck • Feb 26, 2013 An onslaught of winds and continued heavy snowfall are dropping power lines indiscriminately around the Kansas City metro region. KCP&L's Big Battery Aims To Help Spark Midtown Resurgence By Frank Morris • Oct 12, 2012 KCP&L's new "Smartgrid Innovation Park" is parked between the back wall of a pretty downtrodden, urban core grocery store, and an old humming electric substation. Council Members Comment on P & L District Subsidy By Steve Bell • Jul 15, 2010 Photo courtesy of KMBC, TV-9. Click to enlarge. Kansas City, MO – City Manager Troy Schulte's comments to the Kansas City Star that the city will have to pay millions of dollars for up to ten years to subsidize Power and Light District TIFs prompted responses from several Kansas City council members Wednesday.
