Wireless standard organization conducts "plugfest" to test device interoperability
ISA100 Wireless Compliance Institute brings Honeywell, Yokogawa, Nivis, GE, Yamatake, Fuji Electric, and R3 Sensors devices to verify working interoperability.
The ISA100 Wireless Compliance Institute (WCI) announced the success of its recent "Wireless Plugfest" – a structured WCI member program conducted periodically to validate interoperability of wireless products compliant with the ISA100.11a standard. The event was held in December 2010, at National Technical Systems (NTS) labs in Los Angeles, CA. NTS is an independent third-party engineering, testing, and certification company.
The WCI Technical Steering Committee designed and planned this series of test scenarios to confirm interoperability characteristics in four functional categories; provisioning, networking, application configuration, and data publishing.
"We were thrilled with the outcome of the December 2010 WCI Wireless Plugfest and will expand the Plugfest program on an ongoing basis," said Andre Ristaino, managing director of WCI. "Our objective is to improve the user experience with ISA100-based products and maintain confidence in our declaration of assured interoperability. As new ISA100.11a devices pass certification, we will expand our product testing scenarios to confirm the scalability, reliability, and performance benefits of the ISA100.11a standard."
Test engineers successfully demonstrated interoperability of ISA100.11a-based manufacturer field devices, provisioning devices, and gateways. The test included registered devices submitted by suppliers including the Honeywell high-level analog input (HLAI) device, pressure and temperature devices, and Yokogowa pressure and temperature transmitters. Using a structured plan for assessing multiple combinations of network configurations, devices from participating suppliers were joined to gateways from Honeywell, Yokogawa, and Nivis, and then configured to publish data through those gateways.
"We were able to demonstrate the effectiveness of the WCI technical documentation and the interoperability of the ISA100.11a devices and profiles," said Osman Sakr, CTO of National Technical Systems.
The ISA100.11a industrial wireless networking standard is the first in the ISA100 family of standards. This wireless mesh network protocol standard ensures that supplier companies will build interoperable wireless automation control products. As a result, ISA100.11a device suppliers are able to create, modify, optimize, and scale a wireless network quickly, cost-effectively, and seamlessly. Interoperability provides users the freedom to choose field devices from any supplier, that are simple to deploy, reliable in operation, and support future applications.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

A traffic stop in Oconee County Monday led to the arrest of an Atlanta woman who faces at least a dozen counts of identity theft-related charges, according to the Oconee County Sheriff's Office.
Corporal Clark Sparrow pulled over the driver of a Toyota Camry at the intersection of Jimmy Daniel and Virgil Langford roads around 11:30 a.m. on Jan. 28 for a suspended vehicle registration, according to a news release.
"[The driver] appeared to be nervous beyond that which is normal on a traffic stop, and she also gave conflicting answers to questions asked of her to include statements believed to be false concerning military service on her part," the release stated.
Angela Davida Miller, 32, of Madison Drive in Atlanta, was taken into custody on charges of driving on a suspended license and suspended vehicle registration, and her car was towed.
While conducting an inventory of the car, Sparrow and Deputy Kendall White reportedly found "a printer, voided checks, mail in the name of other parties, a 'burn bucket', and computer equipment."
The documents pointed to a trail of identity theft victims from multiple states, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Though no one from Oconee County has been identified as a victim, there are victims from other parts of Georgia, as well as from Alabama and Tennessee and possibly from other states, Chief Deputy Lee Weems said.
Miller has so far been charged with nine counts of identity fraud, one count of printing, executing or negotiating checks, and one count of defraud, jail records confirmed.
Additional charges are expected, Weems said.

Stopping the cross-site authentication attack
A new form of phishing attack deposits an HTML tag on the vulnerable service to trap users into authenticating.
Phishing messages should be a familiar sight to most readers. They appear to come from your bank or eBay and ask you to enter your credentials on a spoofed login page. A phishing attack uses trickery to spy on user credentials. Another method, known as cross-site scripting (XSS, as CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets), places active code on a vulnerable page. The unsuspecting user's web browser runs the code and sends the user's login data to the attacker.

why did you just post all Bremen stores at 3.99 when in fact hey are not?
"and there is talk of exporting" Of course, Obama and too many of them at the top from those in his administration, the EPA, Democrats and Republicans in Congress, many of the ultra wealthy [think Warren Buffet and others], the big Banks, Big Oil, OPEC, eco-nazis [I'm a greenie and I make use of solar, but I'm not like them] all want gas to be $5 to $14 a gallon. They won't do it before they election, it'll be later down the road.
They'll make it over $4 a gallon soon enough permanently, and it'll hit $5 and $6 before you know it. You'll be paying $3 to $8 for a loaf of bread.
"not quite there yet, think it will be above $4" You might be right, but it won't be for long. This is an election year, so it'll drop just before the election. But, technically speaking, prices are as high and higher than in 2008. The price spread between regular, mid-grade and premium is 60 cents a gallon around here now, it was 30 cents a gallon back then. Premium hit $4.17 and $4.25 back then, now it's $4.19 to $4.29 and higher at a few places.
Wishing everyone a New Year filled with New Hope, New Joy and New Beginnings. God Bless you through out 2014... Have an unforgettable New Year!

But the biggest problem with ethanol is that it steals vast swaths of land that might be better used for growing food. In a recent article in Foreign Affairs titled "How Biofuels Could Starve the Poor," University of Minnesota economists C. Ford Runge and Benjamin Senauer point out that filling the gas tank of an SUV with pure ethanol requires more than 450 pounds of corn — roughly enough calories to feed one person for a year.
Thanks in large part to the ethanol craze, the price of beef, poultry and pork in the United States rose more than three percent during the first five months of this year. In some parts of the country, hog farmers now find it cheaper to fatten their animals on trail mix, french fries and chocolate bars. And since America provides two-thirds of all global corn exports, the impact is being felt around the world. In Mexico, tortilla prices have jumped sixty percent, leading to food riots. In Europe, butter prices have spiked forty percent, and pork prices in China are up twenty percent. By 2025, according to Runge and Senauer, rising food prices caused by the demand for ethanol and other biofuels could cause as many as 600 million more people to go hungry worldwide.
Despite the serious drawbacks of ethanol, some technological visionaries believe that the fuel can be done right. "Corn ethanol is just a platform, the first step in a much larger transition we are undergoing from a hydrocarbon-based economy to a carbohydrate-based economy," says Vinod Khosla, a pioneering venture capitalist in Silicon Valley. Next-generation corn- ethanol plants, he argues, will be much more efficient and environmentally friendly. He points to a company called E3 BioFuels that just opened an ethanol plant in Mead, Nebraska. The facility runs largely on biogas made from cow manure, and feeds leftover grain back to the cows, making it a "closed-loop system" — one that requires very few fossil fuels to create ethanol.
Khosla is even higher on the prospects for cellulosic ethanol, a biofuel that can be made from almost any plant matter, including wood waste and perennial grasses like miscanthus and switchgrass. Like other high-tech ethanol evangelists, Khosla imagines a future in which such so-called "energy crops" are fed into giant refineries that use genetically engineered enzymes to break down the cellulose in plants and create fuel for a fraction of the cost of today's gasoline. Among other virtues, cellulosic ethanol would not cut into the global food supply (nobody eats miscanthus or switchgrass), and it could significantly cut global-warming pollution. Even more important, it could provide a gateway to a much larger biotech revolution, including synthetic microbes that could one day be engineered to gobble up carbon dioxide or other pollutants.
Unfortunately, no commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol plants exist today. In one venture backed by Khosla, a $225 million plant in central Georgia is currently being built to make ethanol out of wood chips. Mitch Mandich, a former Apple Computer executive who is now the CEO of the operation, calls it "the beginning of a real transformation in the way we think about energy in America."
Maybe. But oil-industry engineer Robert Rapier, who has spent years studying cellulosic ethanol, says that the difference between ethanol from corn and ethanol from cellulose is "like the difference between traveling to the moon and traveling to Mars." And even if the engineering hurdles can be overcome, there's still the problem of land use: According to Rapier, replacing fifty percent of our current gasoline consumption with cellulosic ethanol would consume thirteen percent of the land in the United States - about seven times the land currently utilized for corn production.
Increasing the production of cellulosic ethanol will also require solving huge logistical problems, including delivering vast quantities of feedstock to production plants. According to one plant manager in the Midwest, fueling an ethanol plant with switchgrass would require delivering a semi-truckload of the grass every six minutes, twenty-four hours a day. Finally, there is the challenge of wrestling the future away from Big Corn. "It's pretty clear to me that the corn guys will use all their lobbying muscle and political power to stall, thwart and sidetrack this revolution," says economist C. Ford Runge.
In the end, the ethanol boom is another manifestation of America's blind faith that technology will solve all our problems. Thirty years ago, nuclear power was the answer. Then it was hydrogen. Biofuels may work out better, especially if mandates are coupled with tough caps on greenhouse-gas emissions. Still, biofuels are, at best, a huge gamble. They may help cushion the fall when cheap oil vanishes, but if we rely on ethanol to save the day, we could soon find ourselves forced to make a choice between feeding our SUVs and feeding children in the Third World. And we all know how that decision will go.

I write about films, especially superhero films, & Hollywood.
Earlier this month, I gave you nine different lists of horror films for Halloween, and yesterday I added to that with my list of the ten best underrated horror movie sequels ever made. Today I finish out this year's Halloween movie lists, with the very best fright flicks of the past two years!
It's been a great decade for the genre, folks, with a real revival of horror cinema. In fact, I'd say we've had almost 15 years of strong growth and innovation for horror. Which makes it a lot of fun to put all of these lists together for you, so I'm kind of sad to see the season go. But don't worry, I'll have plenty more new lists for you next year!
And now, let's close out this year's Halloween viewing recommendations with the top ten best horror movies from 2011 and 2012!
10. Grave Encounters
8. Insidious
7. Kill List
6. The Thing
was thinking the same thing haha
Prometheus is science fiction. Not Horror. EPIC FAIL, Forbes.
Oh, yeah. And I forgot. Prometheus isn't even good science fiction.
I actually thought you put together a good list for the most part. But I do think I understand genre well and while I do think science fiction and horror have common elements, they are by no means the same genre. It is like the difference between Alien and Aliens. Alien was more horror (it was going for the scares rather than the discovery), while Aliens (true to James Cameron's usual work) is more science fiction/adventure. Sure, they share a common creature, but the tones of the movie are completely different. Prometheus fit more in the tone of Aliens and science fiction, in general, because its focus was not to terrify, but to push the viewer into a new world where discovery and adventure is possible. The only "horror" element in Prometheus was the last 30 seconds where it showed the Alien coming from the guy's chest which is totally Ridley Scott for you.
I apologize for my tone in the post, but I did find Prometheus to be in the which-one-does-not-fit category. The rest of the list was solid. I might have switched some around but you covered all the bases.
hey wayyy to spoil a movie somewhat without putting "spoiler alert" in the aforementioned lines… I was gonna see Prometheus soon and be able to put my own thoughts on it. Granted knowing the last thirty seconds probably wont ruin the movie but way to ruin part of it!
Thought i would say thanks.
no no i was sarcastically saying thanks to Blake since he had the misfortune to mention the last 30 secs of promethius… not you marc.
I agree with Blake! The title clearly states "Top 10 Best Horror Movies Of The Last 2 Years" Prometheus? Horror? Not so much! Clearly Mark… you're easily scared! :-P

A.J. Allmendinger had a ride to envy with one of NASCAR's top teams end in stunning disgrace.
INDIANAPOLIS - Brad Keselowski planted an emphatic kiss on the yard of bricks at the finish line, becoming the first driver to celebrate a win at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in NASCAR's Nationwide Series.
LOUDON, N.H. - The best car was rolling toward victory - until its driver and crew chief couldn't agree on how many tires to change.
LOUDON, N.H. - Brad Keselowski slipped in front when Kevin Harvick got into a traffic jam. Then Harvick got mad.
LOUDON, N.H. - Kevin Harvick does a better job driving around the track than to the delivery room.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Suspended NASCAR driver AJ Allmendinger on Wednesday said that he tested positive for a stimulant and was collecting his medicines and supplements in an attempt to figure out what got him in trouble.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The U.S. Army will not return to Stewart-Haas Racing next season, effectively ending its sponsorship in NASCAR altogether after a decade.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - There are a lot of questions surrounding AJ Allmendinger after a failed drug test got him suspended.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - There was no fire or rain. Still, another frantic finish at Daytona International Speedway.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth will start from the pole tonight at Daytona International Speedway, where he'll try to pull off a season sweep.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Bruton Smith has an idea how to create more excitement in NASCAR.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Success came quickly for Carl Edwards, who won four times and finished third in the championship race in his first full season at NASCAR's top level.
SPARTA, Ky. - Driving his backup car, Brad Keselowski raced to third win of the year, grabbing the lead with 55 laps remaining and holding off all challengers Saturday night in the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Kentucky Speedway.
SPARTA, Ky. - Jimmie Johnson thought somebody had traded paint with his motorhome.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Matt Kenseth has kept his name out of the rumor mill for most of his NASCAR career.
Long before Jimmie Johnson arrived on the NASCAR scene, Jeff Gordon was the fastest thing on wheels.
INDIANAPOLIS - The reminders that Jeff Gordon won here 20 years ago plaster Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
INDIANAPOLIS - Juan Pablo Montoya is back at Indianapolis Motor Speedway - one night only, an encore of sorts, in a guest-starring role for Team Penske.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Mike Helton has seen Talladega Superspeedway's capacity expand in boom times and shrink along with the crowds at one of NASCAR's signature tracks, moving in tandem with the sport's ebbs and flows.
RICHMOND, Va. - Aric Almirola waited two days to experience one of the highlights of his first victory in NASCAR's premier series.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - NASCAR has penalized Kurt Busch and his Stewart-Haas Racing team for failing a post-race inspection at Daytona International Speedway.
When the sky opened for a third time during the rain-rescheduled race at Daytona and teams pulled out car covers to wait out the weather, it seemed the right time for NASCAR to put the Coke Zero 400 out of its misery.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - David Gilliland might have summed up Daytona qualifying best.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - It had been 31 years since a driver won both Daytona races in the same season when Jimmie Johnson pulled off the Sprint Cup Series sweep. A year later, his teammate wants to complete the feat.

HOLLY SPRINGS — The start to the year has been good to the Holly Springs wrestling team, which defeated Southwest Wake Athletic Conference foe Fuquay-Varina 82-0 on Wednesday night.
For one, the Golden Hawks are healthier than they have been to start the season in years past. Also, Holly Springs (10-1, 2-0) doesn't have to rely on its lighter weights as much.
The middle and heavy weight classes are where the most experienced wrestlers are, while the lightest six weights feature four first-year starters.
"In the past years it's been up to the 106-, 113-, 120-(pound classes); they always had to get pins and be 100 percent every week," said 160-pounder Daniel Richardson. "Now, they don't have to get pins, they don't have to always be the best because we have guys to back them up."
Holly Springs rolled by Fuquay thanks to seven Bengals forfeits and six pins. Only the match won by 152-pounder John Cox lasted into the third period, winning 13-1 against Fuquay's Taylor Highsmith.
"This year we have a lot more guys who are more aggressive and stay on their feet," said 120-pounder Aaron Redus, who moved up two weight classes from last year and pinned his opponent in 44 seconds.
Five Golden Hawks are still undefeated on the season: Cam Devers, Redus, Cox, Richardson and C.J. Toogood.
Holly Springs isn't looking ahead, but a Dec. 18 meeting with Cary looms on the horizon as a potential SWAC title match.
"I don't think we're in the best shape yet," Holly Springs coach Brandon Inge said. "I just want to see us, no matter the opponent, going all out."
Fuquay (1-2, 0-2) was without top wrestler Daniel Cockerill, who was out sick. The Bengals are under first-year head coach Travis Lucas, who was brought in about a month before tryouts began.
"That's just not enough time," Lucas said. "But it's still a long season."
Fuquay lost to Middle Creek on a tiebreaker in its conference opener.
"We've got to work on the team aspect and coming closer as a team," Lucas said. "We're still trying to find that heart ... since we're so young."

The room was dark. The sound of pumps and meters and all kinds of medical equipment hummed and clicked in the background. In the hallways the sound of muffled voices mixed with buzzing alarms and the occasional crash of a dropped tray added to the overall feel of confusion.
The pain raced through her, overwhelming her. The shaking and the tremors came without warning. A wave of heat washed over her from head to toe, her stomach turned. Crying without end until she fell asleep, only to dream of more pain, alone and scared.
Occasionally, usually after she finally managed to drift off for a few minutes, a nurse would come in and check her over again. The feeling of being too hot was replaced with intense freezing, then the heat would come again. The sick stomach never went away.
Her arms and legs contracted on their own timetable, often twitching uncontrollably. The medicine was forced into her mouth and down her throat, she gagged and did not like the taste. She had no understanding or comprehension of any of this or the endless agony that never let up. She is an innocent angel wracked with pain and living through hell.
Lost in her own world she is alone in her hospital bed, but across the country this 3 day old infant is one of thousands of babies born, suffering, and addicted to illicit and prescription drugs.
The picture of this tiny child clinging to life as she goes through withdrawal is heartbreaking and one that is almost too hard to bear. Knowing that children like this one are going through this horror at all of our hospitals, even now as you read this, is enough to shake me to my core.
We all know that people make bad choices and many suffer the consequences of those decisions, sometimes for a very long time. It is one thing to feel sorry for a young person that knowingly gets themselves involved in drugs and the lifestyle of drug use and finds themselves in very bad shape. Common decency demands that we, as good people, try to find some compassion for these misguided kids.
Finding that compassion is no easy task when these misguided kids start stealing, robbing, and destroying everything around them because of their addictions. But somehow we know we must be ready to reach out and help them whenever the moment of clarity comes and the chance to save them presents itself. This is the burden of good people. To do otherwise is to throw away our humanity as they have thrown their lives away.
To anyone who knows a young person that has become addicted, you know you pray everyday for a chance to help them. Unfortunately that chance doesn't always come and all too often you are left with broken hearts and an emptiness that cannot be filled; this is the suffering of the family and friends of the addicted. In time there is a numbness that overtakes them, it's a survival mechanism. It's acceptance.
It's another thing altogether to see these most innocent of all God's creatures, fighting for their lives from the addiction passed onto them by their mothers who are addicted to drugs. We cannot accept the suffering of babies who had no choice in their misery. They may be someone else's baby, but they are all our children.
In a recent study the number of babies born addicted to heroin, prescription opiates, cocaine and other habit forming drugs has tripled! Babies are being treated with methadone, the withdrawal drug used for adult addicts. Their withdrawal is just as physically terrible as it is for an adult, but a baby cannot comprehend why there is such pain. Nor can I.
If you know someone who is addicted to drugs, try to get them to seek help, especially if they are pregnant. If you are pregnant and addicted act for the babies sake and get help.
The only saving grace I can find in this statistic and abhorrent situation is the knowledge that most of the babies that survive the withdrawal crisis will not remember it. One can only hope that those moments of terror and agony will fade from their lives and be reduced to a ghostly mist, lost forever to time and memory.
I'm sorry to have brought this to your attention, I'm usually much more positive. But I feel I owed it to these brave children to think of them and keep them with me, even if it's hard to do. In that way maybe they are not as alone as they must feel. If we all keep them in our thoughts and prayers maybe, just maybe we can bring some comfort to those dark rooms as they fight……

Title: AU students visit "Church on the Street"
It was a recent one-week experience that deeply touched Alyssa Duty's life, as she and 14 other Anderson University seniors went to the "Church on the Street," in Atlanta, Ga., a ministry that serves hundreds of homeless people, including drug addicts and prostitutes. Duty walked away from the experience really understanding that "we are all children of God," and the need for Christians to serve "just as Christ has called us to do." Pastor Kurt Salierno runs the ministry. "We didn't know what to expect, and we were really shocked when we got down there," said Duty, as she saw numerous people sleeping on the street. "I was overwhelmed."
It was the first time in her life that she was able to put "a face and a name" to homelessness. Duty and her fellow social work colleagues spent mornings fixing up a homeless shelter, and in the evenings they served meals to those who came to the shelter hungry. The seniors also went to the parks and parking lots where many of the homeless people would congregate, and handed out peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
They also played checkers, took time to talk and get to know the people and be involved with the "Church on the Street." Friendships formed, and Duty also spent time giving words of encouragement and reminding several of God's unconditional love.
"Just letting them know that God loves them and that someone actually does care," she said, without being too preachy.
The week was the fifth annual senior social work trip, and AU professors, Rudy Pyle and Sharon Collins, from the university's social work department, accompanied the graduating seniors.
"People come to us because they think we're having a party, because we're so loud and enthusiastic," said Salierno with a smile. "They think we're having a drunken brawl, and they show up and find we're singing about Jesus."
Salierno said his church has saved countless numbers of people and has helped many make positive changes in their lives.
"I see miracles that I don't see in the local church, and I see blessings that happen on the street," he said, including drunks becoming sober and drug addicts giving up crack.
Andy Odle, a seminary student at AU, is passionate about the ministry and has worked three years with the "Church on the Street" with Salierno. He enjoys seeing people who devote time volunteering with "Church on the Street" go home to their communities to serve the hungry and homeless.
After the seminary, Odle plans to stay involved in the street ministry.
Both Salierno and Odle believe "Church on the Street," as a Church of God ministry, should also be on the streets in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and other large cities.
"There's a great need," said the pastor.
