Chances are you have used biofeedback yourself. You've
used it if you have ever taken your temperature or stepped
on a scale. The thermometer tells you whether you're
running a fever, the scale whether you've gained weight.
Both devices "feed back" information about your body's
condition. Armed with this information, you can take steps
you've learned to improve the condition. When you're
running a fever, you go to bed and drink plenty of fluids.
When you've gained weight, you resolve to eat less and
sometimes you do.
Clinicians reply on complicated biofeedback machines in
somewhat the same way that you rely on your scale or
thermometer. Their machines can detect a person's internal
bodily functions with far greater sensitivity and precision
than a person can alone. This information may be valuable.
Both patients and therapists use it to gauge and direct the
progress of treatment.
For patients, the biofeedback machine acts as a kind of
sixth sense which allows them to "see" or "hear" activity
inside their bodies. One commonly used type of machine,
for example, picks up electrical signals in the muscles. It
translates these signals into a form that patients can detect:
It triggers a flashing light bulb, perhaps, or activates a
beeper every time muscles grow more tense. If patients
want to relax tense muscles, they try to slow down the
flashing or beeping.
Like a pitcher learning to throw a ball across a home plate,
the biofeedback trainee, in an attempt to improve a skill,
monitors the performance. When a pitch is off the mark, the
ballplayer adjusts the delivery so that he performs better the
next time he tries. When the light flashes or the beeper
beeps too often, the biofeedback trainee makes internal
adjustments which alter the signals. The biofeedback
therapist acts as a coach, standing at the sidelines setting
goals and limits on what to expect and giving hints on how
to improve performance.
The Beginnings of Biofeedback
The word "biofeedback" was coined in the late 1960s to
describe laboratory procedures then being used to train
experimental research subjects to alter brain activity, blood
pressure, heart rate, and other bodily functions that
normally are not controlled voluntarily.
At the time, many scientists looked forward to the day
when biofeedback would give us a major degree of control
over our bodies. They thought, for instance, that we might
be able to "will" ourselves to be more creative by changing
the patterns of our brainwaves. Some believed that
biofeedback would one day make it possible to do away
with drug treatments that often cause uncomfortable side
effects in patients with high blood pressure and other
serious conditions.

Dr. Patrice Rankine, dean for the arts and humanities and professor of Classics at Hope College, is author of the book "Aristotle and Black Drama: A Theater of Civil Disobedience," published recently by Baylor University Press of Waco, Texas.
The volume considers black theater in the 20th century as a form of civil disobedience, with productions written and staged to challenge the status quo by featuring black characters, much as the Civil Rights Movement fostered change with blacks visibly and non-violently confronting segregation by placing themselves in opposition to its unjust laws.
In fact, Rankine notes that he was inspired to pursue the topic in part because of a reference in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s April 1963 "Letter from a Birmingham Jail." As King wrote, "We had no alternative except to prepare for direct action, whereby we would present our very bodies as a means of laying our case before the conscience of the local and the national community."
"What this showed me was that King understood the real-life experience in terms of drama, and that allowed me to understand drama in terms of real-life experience," Rankine said.
"For King, civil disobedience is an idea and dramatic action that socially and politically conscious citizens perform," he said. "At its most eloquent, civil disobedience is a performative act, an artistic form."
The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, blending Rankine's training in Classics with consideration of contemporary theatre. He conducts his analysis through the dramatic form outlined in Aristotle's "Poetics" in the fourth century B.C., which divided tragedy into six parts: character, story, thought, sight, music and diction.
Rankine explores how playwrights such as Rita Dove, Eugene O'Neill, Suzan-Lori Parks and August Wilson put black bodies onstage in ways that challenge, re-appropriate or oppose the Aristotlean themes and the way that they were traditionally expressed in U.S. society.
For example, he noted, Dove put the familiar Classical Oedipus story to new use in her 1994 play "The Darker Face of the Earth," setting it in the Antebellum South with a slave as the central character. Some seven decades earlier, O'Neill broke ground by putting black characters onstage in leading roles on Broadway in 1920 in his play "The Emperor Jones."
"This theater has worked within the context of a conservative framework in order to infuse American drama with the moral conscience of black experiences within the United States," he said.
That black playwrights were not the only ones concerned with such issues—O'Neill was the descendent of Irish immigrants—is significant to Rankine as a reflection of their universality.
"He made these characters to speak to his own conscience," Rankine said. "These are shared experiences that we all should think about, and we all gain from thinking about and talking about."
Dr. Emily Greenwood, professor of Classics at Yale University, has praised the volume, noting, "This book invites us to revise existing genealogies of black theater and offers us the provocative idea of classical theory of drama as a handmaiden for the theater of disobedience. Like the best ideas it is bold and original and, on reading, makes perfect sense."
Rankine joined the Hope faculty in July. He was previously on the Classics faculty at Purdue University for 15 years, with affiliations in the African American Studies and Research Center, comparative literature, and philosophy and literature. He was assistant head of Purdue's School of Languages and Cultures from 2007 to 2012, and was director of the university's Interdisciplinary Program in Classics from 2004 to 2007.
Rankine completed his doctorate in Classical literature at Yale University in 1998 with his dissertation on Seneca's tragedies. He has since developed interdisciplinary interests in African American literature and the reception of the Classics among black American authors.
His first book, "Ulysses in Black: Ralph Ellison, Classicism, and African American Literature," published in 2006 with the University of Wisconsin Press, was named one of "Choice" magazine's outstanding academic books in 2007 and is currently in its second printing. His publications also include numerous articles, book chapters and book reviews. In addition, he has made more than four dozen scholarly talks at professional conferences and in other settings.
Rankine has received external awards and honors including an Andrew Mellon Graduate Fellowship, Woodrow Wilson Foundation Career Enhancement Fellowship, National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Summer Seminar Fellowship and an invitation to serve as an NEH Summer Institute faculty member. Recognition from Purdue University included the Excellence in Teaching Award and the Frederick L. Hovde Award for Outstanding Faculty Fellow, as well as grants and fellowships in support of his teaching and research.
Rankine graduated from Brooklyn College in 1992, and he also holds Master of Arts and Master of Philosophy degrees from Yale in addition to his doctorate. Prior to joining the Purdue University faculty, he served as an instructor at New School for Social Research of New York University, at Bronx Community College and at Brooklyn College.
Copies of "Aristotle and Black Drama" are available for $59.95 at the college's Hope-Geneva Bookstore, which is located on the ground level of the DeWitt Center, 141 E. 12th St., and can be called at 800-946-4673 or (616) 395-7833.

text: Pterygium A pterygium is a pinkish, triangular-shaped tissue growth on the cornea. Some pterygia grow slowly throughout a person's life, while others stop growing after a certain point. A pterygium rarely grows large enough to cover the pupil of the eye. Pterygia are more common in sunny climates and in the 20 to 40 year old age group. Scientists do not know what causes pterygia to develop. However, because people who have pterygia usually have spent a significant time outdoors, many doctors believe ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun may be a factor. In areas where sunlight is strong, wearing protective eyeglasses, sunglasses, and/or hats with brims are suggested. While some studies report a higher prevalence of pterygia in men than in women, this may reflect different rates of exposure to UV light. Because a pterygium is visible, many people want to have it removed for cosmetic reasons. It is usually not too noticeable unless it becomes red and swollen from dust or air pollutants. Pterygium excision is not recommended unless it affects vision. If a pterygium is surgically removed, it may grow back, particularly if the patient is less than 40 years of age. Lubricants can reduce the redness and provide relief from the chronic irritation. Make An Appointment Today! 617-573-3202

Some of these initiatives include bans on tobacco use, improving streets where pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transit users can safely share the road with motorists it also set up a plan to increase the healthy food options available to children in public schools. Another key factor in overall health of Cleveland residents is violence prevention which is an important issue in this area.
Cleveland has a diverse population of various cultures and races, so another important aspect of improving the health is focusing on minority health options. Part of the Healthy Cleveland movement focuses on improving care and making sure that minorities have access to healthcare for everything including depression, substance abuse, and violence.

Chris & Erin's Farmhouse Kitchen
What a sweet farmhouse kitchen! Chris, a woodworker, and Erin, a yoga instructor, massage therapist and writer, rent an original farm house in Carlisle, Massachusetts. The home, and the kitchen, have plenty of charm: bare wood ceilings, skinny orange-toned floors, an original soapstone sink, all complemented by the couple's own style, of course! The kitchen seems so lived-in and well set-up.
I love the hanging cast iron pans, the mix of materials and colors in the dishware, the super cool striped wooden tabletop (made by Chris), even the clamped spotlight on the top shelf.

Holly Stuard's husband just put her resume in front of thousands of fresh faces. The Ohio man rented billboard space reading "Please Hire My Wife" to help the former Toledo University employee get back to work.
"Over the last five or six months, she's had a few opportunities come along that we thought looked really positive and unfortunately they just didn't work out," Brandon Stuard told local Fox affiliate Toledo News Now. "I felt a sense of, she was getting a little frustrated, but not losing hope. But I wanted to do something maybe help lift her spirits if nothing else."
Stuard says the billboard space has cost him $700 but that he and his wife will consider it a bargain if he helps her restart her career.
The sign highlights some of Stuard's qualifications, including an MBA and experience in both business and academic sectors. She said she would like to work in development with a company, focusing on maximizing productivity and growth in human capital. The billboard also offers a contact email for potential employers to contact Stuard directly: [email protected]
Stuard admits he purchased the billboard without first telling his wife, but so far she has appreciated the gesture.
"I think I definitely would have said no," Holly Stuard told the station. "I would have thought it would have been too embarrassing to have my face up on a billboard but, now I'm having fun with it and hopefully a good opportunity will come out of it."
She says she lost her job with the university last year after budget cuts, and has since had a number of promising interviews.
"I know she's trying extremely hard, no one prepares like she does. So, it's difficult to watch so, this is, I feel like this is probably the best I could come up with to help her out," Brandon Stuard said.

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Residents defended Mayor Mia Love on Monday against Rep. Jim Matheson's recent assertions that she's to blame for higher taxes and more crime in their growing city.
Standing outside Sean's Smokehouse BBQ & Grill holding signs such as "We're not your punching bag," about 35 people, including former and current City Council members, accused the six-term Democratic congressman of trashing their town. Love did not attend.
"I just get tired of politicians lying about the people that they're going to represent," said Councilman Bud Poduska. "We're in his district and Matheson is lying about the state of our city."
Matheson has repeatedly pointed out during the heated 4th Congressional District race that Love, a Republican, has raised property taxes as a city councilwoman and mayor. He reiterated that during a news conference Monday, saying she voted for increases three times, including a whopping 116 percent in 2008.
"I just think that the rhetoric is all about 'I want lower taxes,' but if you look at the record it's something different," Matheson said. "We need to get away from superficial rhetoric and look at actual facts and in this case I think Utah taxpayers are going to agree with me."
Sean's BBQ owner Sean Warren isn't one of them.
"It really hurts my feelings when I come in and find how bad people want to trash the city in the name of politics. It makes the city look bad and it makes the businesses look bad," the Florida transplant said.
Saratoga Springs operated on a county tax rate for the first several years after its incorporation in 1997. The city grew rapidly until the housing market crash brought development to a halt in 2008, leaving it without revenue for basic services. The council, including Love, approved a 116 percent increase mostly to pay for police and fire protection and laid off 18 people. It was the first property tax increase in the city's history.
Matheson also criticized Love for raising taxes 21 percent in 2009 and 13 percent in 2010, the year she became mayor.
Poduska said Utah County set those rates per truth-in-taxation laws that allow cities to maintain the same level of tax revenue from year to year. He conceded the city could have rejected the rates and cut services instead.
Council members also pointed out that as mayor, Love does not have a vote on matters before the body.
Either way, Matheson said Love has a record of supporting tax increases.
"We have her on video in her own words saying we should raise taxes a little bit each year," he said.
Councilman Mike McOmber said Love continually works to keep taxes and city spending down, including arguing against a pay raise that bumped her mayoral salary from $600 to $830 a month.
Earlier this month, Matheson said Love wanted to cut the police budget by $54,000 in 2008-09 and that burglaries went up 382 percent that year. According to the city, the council actually allocated $50,000 more for the police and burglaries rose from a total of 30 to 54.
Matheson said Monday his figures were incorrect. Still, he said the overall crime rate in Saratoga Springs has risen, and he questions Love's priority for public safety.
"They maintained the fund for employee appreciation gifts, for plaques and paperweights, but she was telling the police to cut their budget during a time when crime was going up," Matheson said.
McComber said "petty" crime has increased in the city but that's to be expected in a community that has swelled to 20,000 residents. Even so, the crime rate is among the lowest in the county.
According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, 12.9 crimes were committed per 1,000 residents in Saratoga Springs in 2010, making it third lowest among Utah County cities. The county average was 23.1.
"It just makes me livid that Jim Matheson is willing to throw my city under the bus to get elected," said resident Anne Harrison. "How can he represent me if he's tearing my city down?"
Center Forward, a self-described centrist PAC airing anti-Love ads, described crime in Saratoga Springs as "skyrocketing" in a recent spot.
"There's a lot of false information out there and we're going to be able to clear all of that up," Love said in an interview last week. "You can't get away with these things. They come back. They're going to have to answer (for) some of those."

Holy and Healthy Living for believers seeking health and wellness from a Christian health and wellness perspective. Are you a Christian seeking to heal your life? When it comes to healing, we often compartmentalize our health needs. Just think about your local medical center. There are doctors for the mind, various physical conditions, and a myriad of specialist. Instead of treating the whole person, often we're just looked at as a bunch of separate parts. Unfortunately, if we're experiencing dis-ease in any area of our life, it's going to affect our whole being. Even the Bible tells us that when one member suffers, the whole body suffers. Christian Health and Wellness refers to the condition of good physical and mental health, especially when maintained by proper diet, spiritual … Finish Reading...

Photographing a Coral Wall's Inhabitants main content.
by AMNH on
Curator John Sparks is blogging weekly about the upcoming exhibition, Creatures of Light, which opens on Saturday, March 31.
One of the amazing things about working on an exhibition is having the chance to incorporate our own research—sometimes, very recent research.
Within the past year, including just last December, my colleague, Museum Research Associate David Gruber (CUNY), and I have gone on multiple expeditions to the Cayman Islands and the Exumas, Bahamas, to photograph a coral wall and its inhabitants at night using special lights and filters to capture biofluorescence.
The phenomenon of biofluorescence results from the absorption of electromagnetic radiation at one wavelength by an organism, followed immediately by its re-emission at a longer, lower-energy wavelength. With special cameras, we captured brilliant red, green, and orange fluorescing corals, anemones, mollusks, marine worms, and a myriad of fishes, including sharks and rays.
Although it is unnerving to hover in complete darkness over a wall that drops thousands of feet—particularly when we get occasional glimpses of quickly moving sharks in our flashes—the results are well worth the effort.
Creatures of Light: Nature's Bioluminescence opens on Saturday, March 31.

24 Kan. App. 2d 616
No. 76,882
STATE OF KANSAS, Appellee, v. LAWRENCE WHEELER, Appellant.
1. Under K.S.A. 21-4614, jail time credit is earned only for the time spent in jail solely on account of the offenses for which the defendant is being sentenced.
2. Jail time credit is not earned under K.S.A. 21-4614 for time spent in jail solely on account of charges which are then dismissed.
Appeal from Sedgwick District Court; JOSEPH BRIBIESCA, judge. Opinion filed December 12, 1997. Affirmed.
Ezra J. Ginzburg and Ryan Kipling Elliott, assistant appellate defenders, and Jessica R. Kunen, chief appellate defender, for the appellant.
David Lowden, assistant district attorney, Nola Foulston, district attorney, and Carla J. Stovall, attorney general, for the appellee.
Before RULON, P.J., LEWIS and PIERRON, JJ.
PIERRON, J.: Lawrence L. Wheeler appeals the district court's denial of his motion for jail time credit. He requests credit for time spent in custody in Johnson County on a charge of indecent solicitation of a child which was dismissed prior to his being transferred to Sedgwick County to face multiple charges of aggravated indecent liberties with a child.
Wheeler was charged in Johnson County with the indecent solicitation of J.M., a 10-year-old boy. The charge alleged that Wheeler, while in Sedgwick County, sent a letter to J.M. in Johnson County soliciting sexual acts. J.M. received the letter on August 31, 1993. Wheeler was arrested and held in Johnson County from January 9, 1995, to July 26, 1995, on that charge.
In Sedgwick County, Wheeler was charged with multiple counts of aggravated indecent liberties with J.M. Wheeler also faced charges of burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary, and theft in another Sedgwick County case. The indecent liberties charges were not filed in Sedgwick County until June 6, 1995. Wheeler was arrested for these charges in the Johnson County jail on July 27, 1995. He remained in the Johnson County jail until transported and arraigned in Sedgwick County on July 28, 1995.
Wheeler pled guilty to all the Sedgwick County charges. On the four counts of aggravated indecent liberties, the district court sentenced Wheeler to concurrent terms of 51 months' imprisonment. Wheeler filed a motion for additional credit for time served while in the Johnson County jail. The court granted Wheeler 2 days' jail time credit for the time he spent in the Johnson County jail on the Sedgwick County charges. However, the court denied any jail time credit for the time Wheeler was held in Johnson County on the charge of indecent solicitation of a child.
Wheeler argues the district court erred in denying his motion for jail time credit for the 200 days he spent in the Johnson County jail before his transfer to Sedgwick County.
Pursuant to K.S.A. 21-4614, a sentencing court is required to give a defendant credit for time spent in jail pending the disposition of the defendant's case. See State v. Babcock, 226 Kan. 356, 363, 597 P.2d 1117 (1979) (the legislature has required credit for jail time, and no discretion is granted to the court in allowing same); Payton v. State, 22 Kan. App. 2d 843, Syl. ¶ 2, 923 P.2d 1059 (1996) (inmate has statutory right to receive jail time credit). Interpretation of K.S.A. 21-4614 is a question of law, and our review is unlimited. See State v. Robinson, 261 Kan. 865, Syl. ¶ 1, 934 P.2d 38 (1997).
K.S.A. 21-4614 provides:
|"In any criminal action in which the defendant is convicted upon a plea of guilty or trial by court or jury or upon completion of an appeal, the judge, if he or she sentences the defendant to confinement, shall direct that for the purpose of computing defendant's sentence and his or her parole eligibility and conditional release dates thereunder, that such sentence is to be computed from a date, to be specifically designated by the court in the sentencing order of the journal entry of judgment or the judgment form, whichever is delivered with the defendant to the correctional institution, such date shall be established to reflect and shall be computed as an allowance for the time which the defendant has spent incarcerated pending the disposition of the defendant's case."
Kansas courts interpreting K.S.A. 21-4614 have specifically held that jail time credit is earned only for the time spent in jail solely on account of the offenses for which the defendant is being sentenced. See State v. Calderon, 233 Kan. 87, Syl. ¶ 8, 661 P.2d 781 (1983); Campbell v. State, 223 Kan. 528, Syl. ¶¶ 1, 2, 575 P.2d 524 (1978); State v. Jenkins, 10 Kan. App. 2d 8, Syl. ¶ 1, 690 P.2d 396 (1984).
There does not appear to be a Kansas case on point, and neither party has cited a case with a similar factual scenario to our situation. In his brief, Wheeler relies on Brodie v. State, 1 Kan. App. 2d 540, 571 P.2d 53 (1977), as supporting authority. Brodie appears to contradict Wheeler's position. Brodie escaped from prison after being convicted of second-degree murder. The time line of the case is as follows:
Brodie argued he was entitled to jail time credit against his Kansas conviction of second-degree murder, and on the subsequent conviction for escape, for the time he was in custody in the California jail (5/31/74 - 4/14/76). The district court denied Brodie's request because he had escaped from prison. This court held that Brodie was not entitled to credit on his second-degree murder conviction since his confinement in California was the result of the California murder charges or the Kansas escape charge. The Brodie court remanded the case to the district court for a determination, among other things, of whether Brodie was held during the periods of 7/31/74 - 8/26/74 and 12/18/75 - 4/14/76 solely on his sentence for escape. If so, he was entitled to credit for that time on the escape charge only. 1 Kan. App. 2d at 541-43.
The court did not grant credit for the period of approximately 18 months during which Brodie was involved with the California murder proceedings. Brodie did not get jail time credit because he was being prosecuted for the California murders, even though those charges were later dismissed.
In Wheeler's case, the Sedgwick County charges of indecent liberties were not filed until June 6, 1995, and Wheeler was not arrested on those charges until July 27, 1995. The State contends a defendant is not entitled to credit on a sentence for time which he or she has spent in jail upon other, distinct and wholly unrelated charges. Campbell, 223 Kan. 528, Syl. ¶ 2.
Wheeler argues this court should look beyond the parameters of K.S.A. 21-4614 to examine the specific facts of his case. He reminds the court that the Kansas sentencing statutes are to "be liberally construed to the end that persons convicted of crime shall be dealt with in accordance with their individual characteristics." K.S.A. 21-4601. See State v. Scherzer, 254 Kan. 926, 933, 869 P.2d 729 (1994) (sentencing court should avoid inconsistencies and allow individualized sentencing dispositions whenever practicable).
When examined in such a light, Wheeler argues he is entitled to jail time credit for the full time he spent in Johnson County because under K.S.A. 21-3108, setting forth the principles of double jeopardy and compulsory joinder, Johnson County is now barred from refiling the indecent solicitation charge, as it was connected with the Sedgwick County case.
The double jeopardy statute, K.S.A. 21-3108(2)(a), prohibits a subsequent prosecution if the defendant was formerly prosecuted for a different crime, or for the same crime based upon different facts, if such former prosecution
|"[r]esulted in either a conviction or an acquittal and the subsequent prosecution is for a crime or crimes of which evidence has been admitted in the former prosecution and which might have been included as other counts in the complaint, indictment or information filed in such former prosecution or upon which the state then might have elected to rely; or was for a crime which involves the same conduct, unless each prosecution requires proof of a fact not required in the other prosecution, or the crime was not consummated when the former trial began."
The State responds that K.S.A. 21-3108 has no bearing on jail time credit since K.S.A. 21-4614 is the controlling statute. Consequently, the State contends Wheeler is not entitled to his request because he was not in Johnson County solely on the Sedgwick County charges. We agree. Whether double jeopardy or compulsory joinder might have applied to the Johnson County case if it had been fully prosecuted is not controlling on the issue of jail time credit pursuant to K.S.A. 21-4614. The Johnson County count was charged prior to the Sedgwick County counts and was dismissed when Wheeler was arrested on the Sedgwick County counts. He received his 2 days' credit as required by the law for the time he was held on the Sedgwick County counts in Johnson County. With the dismissal of the Johnson County charges, there was nothing to which the 7 months' incarceration on that charge could apply.
Jail time credit is not earned under K.S.A. 21-4614 for time spent in jail solely on account of charges which are then dismissed.
Wheeler also argues that if he does not receive the 7 months' jail time credit, it is a violation of his constitutional right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment. Wheeler cites no case law supporting this argument.
Wheeler was held in Johnson County on legitimate charges. Johnson County was one of the proper venues where Wheeler could have been charged with indecent solicitation of a child. There is no indication in the record as to the status of the Johnson County case at the time it was dismissed. Sedgwick County, where there was also venue, for whatever reason chose not to charge Wheeler with that crime.
Incarceration awaiting trial on a case that is dismissed is sometimes troubling. However, there is no constitutional or statutory remedy under these facts upon which Wheeler may call. There is no showing of irregular proceedings or actions. There is nothing in the record to support a finding of cruel or unusual punishment.

A Winder man fatally shot himself following a lengthy standoff with Barrow County law enforcement and SWAT officials earlier this week.
According to a report from the Barrow County Sheriff's Office, Jesse Plunkett, 22, was dead when law enforcement entered a home at 4 a.m. Tuesday on Rosebud Lane. A woman who was inside the residence had initially called 911 for help.
Plunkett refused to surrender to deputies on the scene and the incident was then treated as a barricaded gunman. SWAT personnel were dispatched to the scene and a standoff ensued for more than 11 hours. An arrest warrant was obtained for Plunkett in an attempt to obtain the weapon from him.
Tear gas was then deployed into the home as SWAT members hoped to get Plunkett to exit the home, but he refused to do, a report from the BCSO said. Once SWAT personnel entered the home, Plunkett was reportedly dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Other than the tear gas, no rounds were fired by law enforcement officials.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been asked to assist with the investigation.

Smart Grid
To help achieve the modernization of the Nation's electric transmission system FERC is now focusing on Smart Grid. Smart Grid advancements will apply digital technologies to the grid, and enable real-time coordination of information from both generation supply resources and demand side resources, thus bringing new efficiencies to the electric system while at the same time helping to ensure reliability of the system.
Demand Response
Demand Response refers to the ability of customers to respond to either a reliability trigger or a price trigger by changing their usage patterns. Through the customer's action in lowering the peak demand for energy, demand response programs reduce the need to construct new, expensive generation units.
Integration of Renewables
The use of renewable energy resources to generate electricity has the potential to be a cost-effective means not only to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also to diversify the fuels used to generate electricity. The Commission makes policies to allow all resources, including renewable energy resources, to compete in markets on a level playing field.
