The contract calls for Kentucky Power to buy 666,500 tons of the high-sulfur coal this year and 500,000 tons a year from 2019 through 2022, according to an application it filed with the state PSC. |
Kentucky Power said it didn’t need all the high-sulfur coal this year because the Mitchell plant could not meet the price to supply power that was being set by natural-gas plants, and that as a result the regional grid operator, Pennsylvania-based PJM Interconnection, was not calling on Mitchell for power as often as i... |
PJM draws a lot of its power from coal plants — more than 27 percent of the load at midday Thursday, for instance — but some plants are more competitive than others and can offer to supply electricity at a lower cost, said spokesman Jeff Shields. |
Kentucky Power agreed to sell the excess high-sulfur coal for about 17 cents a ton more than it pays to buy it. |
That was a requirement of the deal. The company had pledged not to sell the coal at a loss. |
Kentucky Power said the deal would benefit customers because the gain would bring down the average cost of future shipments of Consol coal. |
Kentucky Power’s portion of the coal sale was 200,000 tons because it operates the Mitchell plant with another company, Wheeling Power Company. Both are subsidiaries of American Electric Power Company. |
Kentucky Power bought a 50 percent interest in the Mitchell plant to replace generating capacity lost at its Big Sandy power plant at Louisa, where it converted one aging coal-burning unit to gas and tore down the other unit. |
The Big Sandy plant was once one of the largest buyers of coal from Eastern Kentucky, taking shipments totaling 1.67 million tons in 2011, for instance, but the changes ended that market. |
“We obviously lost at the Big Sandy plant one of our biggest users,” Hale said. |
The HAAS eKentucky Advanced Manufacturing Institute aims to train and find employment for its students, and to attract industry to a region hit hard by the decline of coal production. |

Hearts manager Craig Levein believes midfielder Bobby Burns received his first Northern Ireland call-up because he joined Livingston on loan. |
Levein admitted the teenager would have been used sparingly at Tynecastle, with the move to West Lothian already vindicated. Burns was called into Michael O’Neill’s international squad last week after a resounding display for Livingston against Celtic. He wasn’t used in Northern Ireland’s friendly with Republic of Irel... |
Hearts loaned Burns to Livingston in August after signing him from Glenavon. He is expected to spend the rest of the campaign there, although the Edinburgh club have a recall option in January. |
Levein said Burns’ international call-up fully justifies the decision to send him to Livingston, with Gary Holt’s side performing well in the Premiership after gaining promotion. |
“Bobby has been doing well when he’s had the opportunity at Livingston lately. That’s been good for him. He is getting tested at a good level,” Levein told the Evening News. |
WWE announced that Sue Aitchison is the 2019 recipient of the Warrior Award. Aitchison, the WWE director of talent relations, is a 30-year employee of the company. |
Powell’s POV: Aitchison was awarded the Cauliflower Alley Club Convention’s Jason Sanderson Humanitarian Award in 2016. Ultimate Warrior proposed the idea of honoring longtime WWE employees who work behind the scenes, and this will be the first time that the company follows through on that with the award named in his h... |
I’m happy for her getting recognized, but they need to change the name of the award. Warrior was a racist, homopohbic bigot. |

Q: I am a 22 years old boy. I live in a joint family. I have a stammering problem, since childhood. All the doctors that I have consulted so far say that I am OK. When it comes to talking with my family and friends, I am perfectly fine. But its just that in front of strangers and often in big groups, I start stammering... |
A:Having worked with young adults who stammer for over 25 years, chaperoning many up the slippery road to speech fluency, I, like many of my colleagues, have taken my cases through a gamut of therapies – many standard ones and some not so. I would like to share my current beliefs on how the condition may best be handle... |

The ArmorTech Shatter Resistant Screen Protector has a great challenge on the front of its packaging. |
There is a hammer on the front and the packaging says the screen is shatter resistant -- it gives you the impression the protective covering can’t be shattered. |
That sounds like a challenge! |
It’s a covering for several lines of smart phones and cost $9.99. |
This test is pretty simple. We got a hammer and hit it twice. |
We didn’t think we hit the screen as hard as we could, but it still spidered, but didn’t shatter. |
The protective screen stayed intact, but it would be hard to read a smartphone through the screen. |
We rated it a Dud. |
If you have a different experience with the ArmorTech Shatter Resistant Screen Protector, please let us know, and we will update the story. |
There’s a common question that’s asked any time a company rolls out a new set of SDKs or APIs: “How do I get started?” That’s not the real question, of course. At heart, it’s a placeholder for a more complex set of questions that boil down to this: It’s not a question of starting coding but a question of whether the pl... |
Microsoft’s Universal Windows Platform is a case in point. A refactoring of the familiar Win32 and .Net APIs, it’s intended to be the future of Windows application development. Alignment with the .Net Standard libraries makes it possible to use a single Visual Studio project to support both Windows desktop and cross-pl... |
But like all new platforms, there’s resistance to switching code to something new, especially when it’s focused on newer platforms. When old code runs on new platforms, there’s no incentive to begin a migration. So how can you start enterprise UWP development when Win32 is still a valid option? |
One option is to use an application builder to simplify that first build; using a tool to generate at the very least a scaffold that can support your application. That’s where the Windows Template Studio comes in, a tool for building a structure that can support both your business logic and your user experience, while ... |
Microsoft has made the Windows Template Studio an open source project, hosted and downloaded from GitHub. Installed as a Visual Studio extension, it adds a new option to Visual Studio’s C# New Project dialog. Once you’ve chosen to build an app using Template Studio, you’re presented with a series of options that guide ... |
The available layouts are simple: a basic navigation pane with a hamburger menu selection, a pivot view controlled by tabs, and a blank canvas. There’s a lot to be said for a relatively sparse selection of layouts, with the two main options covering most common use cases, and the third giving you a freeform layout read... |
Once you’ve picked a layout, you can choose the appropriate framework for your code. Currently, there are four options: the familiar code-behind model Microsoft has used for XAML-based .Net applications since Windows Vista, plus with three different approaches to the common MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) design pattern. I... |
Two of the MVVM options come from third parties: MVVM Light and Caliburn.Micro. Like Microsoft’s own open source software, both use the MIT license, so there shouldn’t be any problem using them in your code. |
Once you’ve chosen your layout and framework, you can start to flesh out the skeleton of your app with pages. Like most modern applications, the Windows Template Studio builds on the page model used by most web apps. It’s an approach that makes it easy to go from C# app running on a PC to a Xamarin app on a mobile devi... |
You’re not limited to a single page; you can use Windows Template Studio to add multiple pages to your app, with support for familiar application elements, including grid and master/detail pages, as well as charts and maps. Currently, 11 page types are available, with more added with each release. Some page types acces... |
Although building an app skeleton is important, there’s a lot more to UWP. That’s where the Features section of Windows Template Studio comes in, adding code to support any of 16 separate UWP features. These cover basic user interactions, such as support for displaying information the first time an app runs and when it... |
Perhaps the most important aspects of its UWP feature support are how it simplifies adding key application life cycle elements. UWP builds on the WinRT model introduced with Windows 8, which added features to enable apps to roam settings through the cloud, as well as suspending and resuming rather than shutting down. W... |
Once you’ve completed a pass through the Windows Template Studio wizard, it creates the scaffolding for your code, which you can then fill out with your own code and your own XAML. There’s a lot to be said for getting a jumpstart like this, going from a wizard to an outline app in a few clicks. |
Although Windows Template Studio simplifies the building of UWP applications, it’s not a replacement for the now-discontinued Visual Studio LightSwitch LOB application builder. Tools like LightSwitch and its near codeless kin PowerApps are a modern take on the 4GL epitomized by languages like Forte. Windows Template St... |
If you’re ready to go beyond simple application builders, Windows Template Studio is well worth investigating. You can do a lot more with a foundation like this, because the code it produces will support not just your first UWP app but also future releases as you add new features. |
Anti-transgender reparative therapy, deemed unethical by experts and banned by politicians, is based on unconfirmed evidence. Could it be the latest high-profile sexology scam? |
Last week Ontario banned anti-transgender reparative therapy, practiced for decades from an ideological home base at Toronto’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). The ban was one of many enacted in response to transgender teen Leelah Alcorn’s suicide after being subjected to anti-transgender reparative thera... |
To understand the unethical history of anti-transgender reparative therapy, follow the money. The Archives of Sexual Behavior was founded by sexologist Richard Green in 1971, and he made his clinical and editorial goal clear in his first issue: “the prevention of transsexualism.” Green’s team at UCLA was rewarded with ... |
Though most gender non-conforming children do not make a gender transition later in life, clinics like Zucker’s at CAMH make money from anxious parents by diagnosing Gender Identity Disorder in children, a disease Zucker and friends created in 1980. To cure it, Zucker developed a version of Green’s clinical protocols: ... |
A 2008 academic panel discussed Bailey's book and the Danny Ryan case report. No journalist has ever investigated Bailey's claims that Ryan was cured of childhood gender identity disorder. |
In 2008, Zucker devoted an issue of Archives to defending Bailey and attacking his transgender critics, anchored by a target article by Bailey’s friend and Northwestern colleague Alice Dreger. Dreger interviewed Bailey’s defenders on the Archives editorial board, but she talked to none of Bailey’s prominent critics, in... |
In March, Dreger repackaged her Bailey defense as the centerpiece of her new book Galileo’s Middle Finger. Despite her attempts to no-platform any dissent, she presents herself as an academic folk hero standing up for academic freedom against threats to science, like Bailey’s transgender critics.
