IEEE Launches Smart Grid Newsletter
LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., 17 January, 2011 -- IEEE, the world's largest professional association advancing technology for humanity, is launching a monthly online newsletter to bring clarity to the global smart grid industry.
The IEEE Smart Grid Newsletter features practical and timely technical information and forward-looking commentary on smart grid developments and deployments around the world. Designed to foster greater understanding and collaboration between diverse stakeholders, the newsletter brings together experts, thought-leaders, and decision-makers to exchange information and discuss issues affecting the evolution of the smart grid. Visit http://smartgrid.ieee.org/publications/smart-grid-newsletter to register for a free subscription.
"Thomas Alva Edison and Alexander Graham Bell understood that for the world to truly benefit from technology, a cooperative, free-flowing exchange of ideas, expertise, and knowledge was needed. It was this vision that led them to help found the organization that is now IEEE," said Dr. S. Massoud Amin, IEEE Smart Grid Newsletter chair and professor of electrical and computer engineering and director of the Technological Leadership Institute at the University of Minnesota. "Today, we continue to follow the founding principles of these two great pioneers with the launch of the IEEE Smart Grid Newsletter, which explores the deepening convergence and overlay of sensors, communications technologies, and control systems within the energy infrastructure. By encouraging a richer, more meaningful dialog among individuals and organizations working to bring the smart grid from concept to reality, IEEE continues to maintain its legacy of leadership and technology excellence for the betterment of all."
Distributed to subscribers via email, the IEEE Smart Grid Newsletter is a technically focused, theme-based publication highlighting the most important and current understanding of smart grid technology developments, innovations, and trends from the world's top subject matter experts, researchers, and practitioners. The newsletter's content will address the intersection and integration of multiple technologies, such as power and energy, sensing, measurement, signal processing, communications, controls, security, standards, and materials and devices that are needed to bring the smart grid into being.
With articles ranging from practical, technical pieces based on real-world experiences to provocative commentary from leading opinion-makers, the IEEE Smart Grid Newsletter is designed for a broad, cross-disciplinary audience, including designers, engineers, researchers, and policymakers.
Exclusive content presented by notable smart grid visionaries and leaders as part of the first IEEE Smart Grid Newsletter includes:
"Toward A More Secure, Strong and Smart Electric Power Grid" by Amin, who coined the term "smart grid", is leading extensive R&D efforts into its development, and is considered by many to be its father;
"The Convergence of High-Tech and So-Called Low-Tech" by Erich W. Gunther, chairman of the IEEE Power and Energy Society's Intelligent Grid Coordinating Committee, and chairman and CTO, EnerNex;
"Beyond the Meter: Lessons from Commerce and Industry" by Tariq Samad, IEEE Smart Grid Steering Committee Member, and Corporate Fellow at Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions; and
"Cisco Sees Sensing and Automated Response as Key Benefits" by Lee Stogner, Member of IEEE Board of Directors, IEEE Energy Policy Committee, and IEEE Electric Vehicle Committee, and Managing Principal of the Vincula Group.
"With its rapid acceleration, sifting through an increasing torrent of Smart Grid-related data has become a formidable challenge," said Wanda Reder, IEEE Smart Grid Chair, and vice president of S&C Electric's Power Systems Services Division. "With more than a century of leadership in technology innovation and development, IEEE is a trusted voice and unparalleled resource for those on the Smart Grid's front lines. The IEEE Smart Grid Newsletter provides immediate, 24/7 access to only the most important, current information, minimizing overload and making it easier to access data that is truly insightful and relevant."

Consumer Federation of California's 2008 Scorecard for Legislators
SAN MATEO – The Consumer Federation of California released today its 2008 Scorecard for State Lawmakers. The scorecard rates legislators on their votes cast on key consumer rights bills. State Assembly members and Senators were evaluated on a number of issues, including campaign finance reform, financial privacy protection, health care reform, telecommunications subscribers' rights, assistance to low-income consumers, and safety standards for consumer products.
Click here to view complete scorecard.
Lawmakers are graded on legislative proposals that the CFC sponsored, supported or opposed. We assessed final substantive floor votes. Committee votes were included in cases where important consumer bills died in committee.
Average scores were 59 percent in the Senate and 62 percent in the Assembly. The scorecard highlighted a deep ideological split between the two parties when it comes to consumer rights protections. Assembly Democrats had an average score of 90 percent, with Senate Democrats averaging 81 percent. Assembly Republicans took the side of consumers only 20 percent of the time, and Senate Republicans scored slightly better with 23 percent.
In all, four Senate Democrats scored 100 percent and another 12 Democrats in the Assembly earned a perfect score. In contrast, nine of the 32 Republicans in the Assembly scored 14 percent or less as did five of the 15 Republicans in the Senate. No Republican scored higher than 29 percent in the Assembly or 36 percent in the Senate. The lowest scoring Democrats were 57 percent in the Assembly and 50 percent in the Senate.
Not all Democratic lawmakers received passing grades. An informal caucus of corporate Democrats in the Senate routinely joined their Republican colleagues to kill consumer bills. However, corporate Democrats in the Assembly saw their influence decline in 2008. Still, three Assembly Democrats received grades of 64 percent or below (down from eight in 07). In the Senate, corporate Democrats saw their numbers increase just slightly, with six Senators scoring 69 percent or below (up from five in 07′).
"The scorecard should help Californians evaluate how their lawmakers voted on consumer protection bills that affect our pocketbooks but get little news coverage." said Richard Holober, Executive Director of the Consumer Federation of California.
Lawmakers were graded on legislative proposals that the CFC either sponsored or supported. A number of substantive floor votes and committee votes that decided the fate of some bills were assessed. Scores reflect the percentage of votes cast in favor of consumers. These scores include votes cast and non-votes by members present at the time the vote was cast. This practice, known as "taking a walk" is a ploy some lawmakers use to avoid a recorded vote while actually affecting the outcome of legislation.
The Governor's record on consumer protection issues is not included in the scorecard. Many of the strongest pro-consumer bills are killed in the legislature. Only a limited number reach his desk. Therefore, grading the Governor on those bills that do survive would not be a meaningful comparison with the scores assigned to legislators.
Consumer Federation of California is a non-profit organization that has fought for consumer rights since 1960.

California teen survives 6-hour flight in jet's wheel well
/PR News/Hawaiian Airlines
It was a Hawaiian Airlines Boeing 767 such as this, authorities say, on which a California teen stowed away in the wheel well. He reportedly survived the 5 1/2-hour flight from San Jose to Maui.
Airport security officials in San Jose are still scratching their heads this morning. They're trying to figure out exactly how a teenager could have accessed the tarmac at Mineta San Jose International Airport, snuck into a plane's wheel well and survived a nearly six-hour flight to Hawaii unhurt.
For more on this story we're joined by Henry Lee, he's a crime reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle.

How Dwight Howard Has Decreased His Trade Value with Ongoing Dwightmare
Dwight Howard has had a rocky past few months, and he only has himself to blame for it.
Let's just take a minute and explore the enigma known as Dwight Howard and the saga that he's been putting on for the past few months.
The D12 saga began back in December 2011 when Howard first declared his desire to be traded from the Orlando Magic. Just asking for a trade isn't what hurt Howard's image. A lot of players, at some point in their professional sports careers, request trades for one reason or another.
The problem began when Howard started to list his reasoning for requesting a trade as issues with former Magic GM Otis Smith, former head coach Stan Van Gundy and even his teammates.
It's understandable if you want out of a trying situation, but to turn the blame toward the NBA franchise that made your dream of being an NBA superstar come true and the teammates you've played with for the past few years shows the immaturity that exists in Howard.
After Howard called out everyone in the Magic franchise, he went on to become the most indecisive man in the world, and in doing so, he slowly began to tear apart the entire Magic franchise.
After wanting to be traded, then wanting to stay with the Magic, then wanting his head coach to be fired, then wanting to be traded, Howard ultimately decided to opt in for the final year of his contract with the Orlando Magic.
All of that seems to just have been a smoke screen, because he wants to be traded yet again.
Howard's indecisiveness and inability to take ownership for his mistakes have finally transitioned from being something that has only hurt his image to now being something that is hurting his value on the trade block.
At the forefront of Howard's decreased trade value is the thought that this could all happen again if Howard is traded to another team.
Before Howard's indecisiveness and selfishness, it looked like D12 was just in a situation that didn't work for him, and that wasn't an issue. But it's evident now that Howard is an immature and selfish player who is fixated only on his desires and not the overall success of his team.
When things are going well for D12, he's a solid player and capable of doing great things.
When things aren't going so well though, Howard becomes an absolute cancer in the locker room, and the division that he creates in the locker room and with the front office translates into unmotivated play out on the court.
The main issue with Howard isn't that he wants traded, or even that he's had some issues with the Magic front office.
The heart of the problem with Howard is that he's proven, through his recent situation, that he's not mature enough to carry a franchise. He's not disciplined enough on a personal level to deal with disappointments and conflict in a professional way, and because of that, he's not prepared to lead a team to the next level.
While NBA GMs might not come out and say it, the way that Howard has handled himself throughout the past few months has certainly impacted the way that he is viewed throughout the NBA, and it subsequently has hurt his value on the trade block.
Even the most productive and successful players in the NBA can have their careers held back by the way they handle themselves in difficult situations, and Howard's career seems to be going down that path.

DS-2019 Form is used to obtain a J-1 or J-2 visa. It must be kept current at all times; if it needs to be renewed or adjusted due to a change of major, contact ISS. Duration of Status (D/S), a term which appears on your I-94 card and I-20, refers to the period of time during which you are making progress toward completing a full-time program of study. Failure to complete the course of study at the school that issued your I-20 is a violation of status, unless you obtain a proper transfer to a different educational institution. Extension of Stay If the completion date on your I-20 is not adequate to finish your degree program, an extension of stay must be filed with ISS before the end date stated on your I-20. You must show proof of financial resources to cover the costs of tuition and living expenses during the remaining period of studies. F-1/J-1 Visa is the certification issued by the US Consulate or Embassy granting foreign nationals legal permission to present themselves for inspection for admission at a port of entry to the US Immigration officials at any port of entry can deny admission to any foreign national with a valid visa issued by an embassy. In addition to a valid visa, you must always travel with either a valid I-20 or DS-2019 signed by a designated school official (DSO). FAQ is a common abbreviation that is used in the US. It stands for "Frequently Asked Questions" and refers to a list of commonly asked questions, along with the answers. I-20 Form is used to obtain an F-1 or F-2 Visa. It must be kept current at all times; if it needs to be renewed or adjusted due to a change of major, you must contact International Student Services (ISS). Before you travel outside the US, USCIS requires that your I-20 must be signed by your International Student Advisor. An I-901 SEVIS Fee is required of all international and exchange students who come to the US to study. The fee covers a single educational program and extends from the time a student is granted F-1 or J-1 status to either the conclusion of their program, a change in visa status or an extended departure from the US An I-94 Card is a document that states the duration of your legal status in the US Social Security Number (SSN) You must have a Social Security card to work in the US Students who are not eligible for an SSN can apply for a Letter of Denial to assist in dealing with companies that may require an SSN in order to receive services. Dependent spouse and children are not eligible for social security numbers. US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is the government agency responsible for enforcing the regulations that apply to foreign nationals within the US. Violation of Status occurs when a student commits an action that is not permitted by USCIS regulations for nonimmigrant F-1 student visa holders. If you violate your status, your International Student Advisor will meet with you to discuss your options for restoring your status. Visas are not issued from within the US. If you plan to re-enter the US after your visa has expired, or if your visa status has changed, you will need to obtain a new visa from your home country.

Virginia has moved up one spot to 11th nationally in an annual study of child well-being.
The Annie E. Casey Foundation released its 2013 Kids Count report Monday. Virginia fared better than the national average on 14 of 16 indicators in four broad categories: economic well-being, education, health, and family and community.
The report says child poverty and economic stress have worsened in Virginia, consistent with a national trend. Like the rest of the country, Virginia also saw an increase in children in single-parent homes.
But the state showed improvement in all education indicators and three of four health measurements.
Health remains Virginia's weakest category with an overall ranking of twentieth. That's down from seventeenth a year ago.
Overall, Virginia historically has ranked among the top 20.

I have to say I am a Bastanchury. My father was Michael and Grandfather John B.. It is a very interesting article and the immigration issue is still very relevant today. Nice article on the workers which made the ranch a success.
The only item which needs further investigation is the oil portion. I have notes and information which show that the oil rights were signed off to Standard Oil - unknowingly by the family.
Maybe you have something else I am not aware of?

Duralumin (also called duraluminum, duralum, duraluminium, duralium or dural) is the trade name of one of the earliest types of age-hardenable aluminium alloys.
Alloying elements[edit]
In addition to aluminum, the main materials constituting duralumin are copper and magnesium.
Duralumin was developed by the German metallurgist Alfred Wilm at Dürener Metallwerke Aktien Gesellschaft.
In 1903, Wilm discovered that after quenching, an aluminium alloy containing 4% copper would slowly harden when left at room temperature for several days. Further improvements led to the introduction of duralumin in 1909.[1] The name is obsolete today, and mainly used in popular science to describe the Al-Cu alloy system, or '2000' series, as designated by the International Alloy Designation System (IADS) originally created in 1970 by the Aluminum Association.
Aviation applications[edit]
Its first use was in rigid airship frames eventually including all those of the "Great Airship" era of the 1920s and 1930s: the German passenger Zeppelins LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin, LZ 129 Hindenburg, LZ 130 Graf Zeppelin II, and U.S. Navy airships USS Los Angeles (ZR-3, ex-LZ 126), USS Akron (ZRS-4) and USS Macon (ZRS-5).[2][3] Its composition and heat treatment were a wartime secret. With this new rip-resistant mixture, duralumin quickly spread throughout the aircraft industry in the early 1930s, where it was well suited to the new monocoque construction techniques that were being introduced at the same time. Duralumin also is popular for use in precision tools such as levels because of its light weight and strength.
The earliest known attempt to use duralumin for a heavier-than-air aircraft structure occurred in 1916, when Hugo Junkers first introduced its use in the creation of the Junkers J 3's airframe, a single-engined monoplane "technology demonstrator" that marked the first use of the Junkers trademark duralumin corrugated skinning. Only the covered wings and tubular fuselage framework of the J 3 were ever completed, before the project was abandoned - the slightly later Junkers J.I armored sesquiplane had its all-metal wings and horizontal stabilizer made in the same manner as the J 3's wings had been, along with the experimental and airworthy all-duralumin Junkers J 7 single seat fighter design, which led to the Junkers D.I low-wing monoplane fighter introducing all-duralumin aircraft structural technology to German military aviation in 1918.
Corrosion protection[edit]
Although the addition of copper improves strength, it also makes these alloys susceptible to corrosion. For sheet products, corrosion resistance can be greatly enhanced by metallurgical bonding of a high-purity aluminium surface layer. These sheets are referred to as alclad, and are commonly used by the aircraft industry.[4][5]
List of typical uses for the wrought Al-Cu alloys:[6]
- 2011: Wire, rod, and bar for screw machine products. Applications where good machinability and good strength are required.
- 2014: Heavy-duty forgings, plate, and extrusions for aircraft fittings, wheels, and major structural components, space booster tankage and structure, truck frame and suspension components. Applications requiring high strength and hardness including service at elevated temperatures.
- 2024: Aircraft structures, rivets, hardware, truck wheels, screw machine products, and other structural applications.
- 2036: Sheet for auto body panels.
- 2048: Sheet and plate in structural components for aerospace application and military equipment.
- 2141: Plate in thicknesses of 40 to 150 mm (1.6 to 5.9 in) for aircraft structures.
- 2218: Forgings; aircraft and diesel engine pistons; aircraft engine cylinder heads; jet engine impellers and compressor rings.
- 2219: Welded space booster oxidizer and fuel tanks, supersonic aircraft skin and structure components. Readily weldable and useful for applications over temperature range of −270 to 300 °C (−454.00 to 572.00 °F). Has high fracture toughness, and the T8 temper is highly resistant to stress-corrosion cracking.
- 2618: Die and hand forgings. Pistons and rotating aircraft engine parts for operation at elevated temperatures. Tire molds.

Quebradillas is known as "La Guarida del Pirata" (the pirate's hideout) and "La Ciudad del Cooperativismo" (the cooperativism city). The town was founded in 1823 by Felipe Ruiz. This town derives its name from the large amount of streams that run through the town. The name literally means "small streams".
Quebradillas is bordering the Atlantic Ocean, north of San Sebastiánl; east of Isabela; and west of Camuy.
Quebradillas is home of one of the 20 designated forest reserves in Puerto Rico. The Guajataca State Forest, an example of Puerto Rico's more unusual topography. Karst country as it is known, is characterized by haystack-shaped hills and sinkholes. Over 40 walking trails, 25 miles of maintained footpaths through the karst region. Take expressway 52 and Route 2 to the road 446 exit between Quebradillas and Isabela (787) 890-4050; (787) 890-2050.
Northwest of Quebradillas lies beautiful Guajataca Beach, with its white sands, wild and deep waters. Perfect for sunning and collecting shells. You can also visit "Lago Guajataca" (Guajataca Lake), another beautifull spot and a lovely place for hiking. This man-made lake (2.5 mi/4 km long) was completed in 1929 by the Puerto Rico Electric Authority. Built primarily as a water reservoir, the lake was created by damming the River Guajataca.
There are many well-known "quebradillanos", among them: basketball player Raymond Dalmau.
