DALLAS, Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --The sixth annual Grid-Interop conference, taking place Dec. 3-6 in Irving, TX, will not only serve as the collaboration point for Smart Grid technology experts and leaders, but it will also provide the venue for the second annual "Plug-In" event and the ongoing transition from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SGIP to SGIP 2.0.
Gathering the industry's top utility, government, technology, and standards leaders, Grid-Interop will host:
- The SGIP Meetings (Dec. 3-4): SGIP is transitioning from a federally-funded organization to an industry-funded, public-private entity in January 2013. Serving as one of the locations of SGIP's governing board meetings since the organization's inception, Grid-Interop will help Smart Grid stakeholders: (1) define what's next by providing critical updates and workshops on priority action plans (PAPs) and key initiatives; (2) provide a platform to celebrate NIST SGIP accomplishments over the last three years; and (3) discuss the SGIP 2.0 transition plan.
- The second annual "Plug-In" to showcase interoperability in action (Dec. 4-6):
"Plug-In" is made possible by collaboration among the Z-Wave Alliance, MultiSpeak®, and the OpenADR Alliance and will provide a venue for discussing and demonstrating a secure, interoperable grid. With standards efforts now bearing fruit, a cross-section of industry organizations will demonstrate 15 to 20 examples of emerging, evolving, and mature interoperability standards, including demand response, transmission & distribution, enhanced cyber security, and more.
- Grid-Interop discussions, boot camps, and workshops (Dec-5-6): The second half of Grid-Interop is organized by the GridWise® Architecture Council (GWAC) and will focus on information interoperability, architecture, business and policy, and cross-cutting issues. These sessions will feature industry-leading speakers and keynotes, including Jim Greer, Sr. Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Oncor Electric Delivery; Colin Harrison, IBM Distinguished Engineer; Christopher Irwin, Smart Grid Standards and Interoperability Coordinator, U.S. Department of Energy; Patrick Gallagher, Director, NIST; George Arnold, National Coordinator for Smart Grid Interoperability, NIST; David Owens, Executive Vice President, Business Operations, Edison Electric Institute; and more. See speaker list and full agenda.
With the guiding principle of implementing interoperability through collaboration, Grid-Interop brings together a cross-section of electric-industry stakeholders to ensure rapid development and implementation of interoperability standards.

Share via Email
These cookies showcase the salty-sweet taste combination that has become de rigueur among top pastry chefs. They go from perfect to overdone in the blink of an eye, so watch the oven like a hawk. You can find macadamia nuts at most supermarkets under the Planters brand.
Macadamia Nut White Chocolate Chunk Cookies
1-1/4 cups (310 mL) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp (2 mL) each: baking soda, salt
1/2 cup (125 mL) each: unsalted butter (at room temperature), granulated sugar, packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp (5 mL) pure vanilla extract
1 cup (250 mL) each: salted roasted macadamia nuts (coarsely chopped), pure white chocolate chunks
In medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt.
In large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, cream together butter and two sugars until fluffy. On low speed add egg and vanilla. Slow add flour mixture until just blended. Stir in nuts and chocolate.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Drop heaping tablespoonfuls on trays 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Bake in batches in preheated 350F (180C) oven until lightly golden at edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool completely.
Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.
Makes about 36.

Coach Rodman holds try-outs for North Korea's basketball team: Players to get 'honor' of facing NBA stars at Kim Jong Un's birthday (and get two free pairs of shoes)
- Dennis Rodman has spent his first day in North Korea holding basketball tryouts
- He will pick a team of 12 to face other former NBA stars in a match next year
- The game will be held to mark Kim Jong Un's birthday on January 8
- Rodman is due to be in the communist country until Christmas eve
Former NBA star Dennis Rodman has held tryouts for a North Korean basketball team while on a visit to the communist state.
Rodman watched as a few dozen players showed off their skills for a chance to be selected for a match against an American team to mark dictator Kim Jong Un's birthday on January 8.
But while Rodman is close to picking 12 Korean players for the game - who will each receive two new pairs of shoes - he admits he's struggling to convince some of the Americans to come.

Speaking after the tryouts, Rodman said: 'You know, they're still afraid to come here, but I'm just telling them, you know, don't be afraid man, it's all love, it's all love here.
'I understand what's going on with the political stuff, and I say, I don't go into that venture, I'm just doing one thing for these kids here, and for this country, and for my country, and for the world pretty much.'
Wearing a pink button-down shirt and puffing on a cigar, Rodman asked one player, Kim Un Chol, why he liked basketball.
Chol said it was because he had seen it on TV and knew it was a favourite of Kim Jong Un and his father Kim Jong Il. When Rodman asked the other players if they felt the same, they all nodded with enthusiasm.
While Rodman is close to picking his starting 12 for the match, he admits he's struggling to convince the Americans to come as they fear for their safety
Wearing a pink shirt and puffing on a cigar Rodman explained to the players that if they get picked they will each be given two new pairs of shoes
In the spirit of unity the January 8 match will be played with Americans verses Koreans for one half, but with mixed teams for the second half
'I want you guys to do one thing for your leader,' Rodman then told them. 'It's his birthday. It's a very special, special day for the country.'
It is less than a week since Kim's powerful uncle was dragged from office and executed, but Rodman has refused to comment on the issue, or on the detention of American Kenneth Bae for allegedly committing anti-state crimes.
Instead his focus has been on sport and the basketball game which he hopes will be without political or nationalistic undertones.
In aid of that goal, North Korea will play against America in the first half, but for the second half the teams will be mixed.
Rodman has said he will not ask his 'good friend' Kim about the execution of his uncle just over a week ago
When Rodman asked the players why they liked the sport they all agreed it was because it was favoured by their leader and his father, Kim Jong Il
Rodman added: 'It's not about win or loss. It's about one thing - unite two countries.'
If all goes well Rodman says he will be planning another game in July.
Rodman, 52, a former Chicago Bulls player, has been fiercely criticised by both Americans and North Koreans for his relationship with Kim who has imprisoned and murdered thousands of his own impoverished citizens.
The bizarre friendship between the two which began while Rodman was filming an HBO series about the Harlem Globetrotters in February.
Dennis Keith Rodman was born on May 13, 1961, in Trenton, New Jersey. His father left home while he was young, and according to his website his mother disowned him after he was accused of stealing watches while working as a janitor at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport.
However in his late teens Rodman found success as a basketball player and quickly established himself as one of the NBA's most unique talents.
He famously spent a period of his life cross-dressing, appearing at various celebrity events dressed in women's clothing, and decided to hold several interviews from inside gay bars.
He had high-profile relationships with Madonna and actress Carmen Electra, before deciding to settle down Rodman-style by marrying himself while wearing a white silk dress.
He also became very well known for his numerous tattoos, facial piercings and multicolored hair.
However following retirement Rodman had a series of high-profile court appearances with his ex-wife Michelle over refusal to pay several hundred thousand dollars of child support. He was also sentenced to 104 hours of community service in May 2012.
Since then he has become an unlikely quasi-political figure, appearing at the Vatican after the retirement of Emeritus Pope Benedict to try and elect the world's first black Pope, before striking up a weird and much-criticised friendship with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
Rodamn met the communist leader in February this year while filming an HBO show about the Harlem Globetrotters and has since visited the secretive state several times.
Despite his insistence that he will not involve himself in diplomacy, he referred to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton as 'a**holes' after one visit in which he failed to convince his 'good friend' Kim to 'do me a solid' and release American prisoner Kenneth Bae.

Will British babies ever smell as sweet as their French cousins? Tamsin Blanchard reports
Wednesday 01 March 1995
"The English are frightened of baby fragrance but the French love it," says Michelle Levy, manageress of the Knightsbridge branch of Jacadi, a French childrenswear company which sells a range of baby bath products as well as perfume. "You can't imagine putting fragrance on a baby. It sounds horrendous," she admits. "Some mothers look at it but just can't understand it. But once a mother buys it, she comes back for more. I think it will definitely catch on with British mums, eventually."
Henry's mother, who is browsing, does not agree. "Totally unnecessary," she snaps. Meanwhile, Henry holds out his wrist as he has seen his mother do in the perfumery at Harrods. He looks on curiously as some of the perfume, which comes in a child-friendly squidgy plastic bottle, is squirted on him. He tries to lick it, and smiles. "It smells nice, mummy," he says. Perhaps this is why mothers end up wearing the £6.50 fragrance themselves: their children like the smell.
Mrs Costes is pushing a pram round the baby-gro section. She is French. I ask her if she would like to try the Jacadi baby scent. "It's without alcohol?" she asks. It is. "No problem," she shrugs. The idea of baby perfume is perfectly natural to her.
Across the road from Jacadi, in the Harrods perfumery, the nice lady behind the Guerlain counter is cooing reassuringly: "It's very soft, very gentle." She is squirting Petit Guerlain on to the back of my hand, telling me that it is popular with the Japanese, and is good for people with allergies. It smells pleasant and lemony. "But isn't it for babies?" I ask. "Oh yes, but only the most sophisticated babies. It is a sophisticated perfume."
Baby fragrances are widely available on the Continent. Mrs Mason, mother of two, buys her children cologne called Nenuco from Spain each year and has used it on her children, James, two, and Sophie, seven, since they were born. In fact, the scent has been in the family since the birth of Mrs Mason's little sister in 1972. The attraction is the fresh, clean smell which friends and other parents often comment on. No matter how dirty a baby gets, it will at least smell clean with eau-de-Cologne.
In France, the idea of buying perfume for your baby is as normal as buying nappies. Anouk Morgan is half-French, half-English, and both she and her mother thought that all babies wore cologne. One of Anouk's earliest memories is of being splashed with a baby scent after her bath. "I was told it was to stop you growing mushrooms," she says.
Givenchy's Ptisenbon (which presumes Baby has a basic grasp of French pronunciation as well as a finely tuned nez) makes no promises about arresting fungal growth. Launched in Europe in 1987, it was developed instead to complement the fashion house's children's wear range, Tartine et Chocolat. Sold here since September, it comes in a range of products, just like mum's. There is eau-de-toilette, shampoo, soap and bath gel, all available in eau- de-senteur, which means it is alcohol-free, so no danger of burning Baby's skin. Perfect.
There is something very un-British about the use of perfume, unless it is Old Rose or lavender water. Givenchy sells twice as much adult perfume in France as it does in the UK. As Peter Norman, managing director of Givenchy Parfums in the UK, says: "Champagne is French, perfume is French; it is part of their heritage. We drink more malt whiskey." But as more and more children are introduced to it from an early age, we too could become a nation of perfume connoisseurs. Mr Norman is predictably confident: "People in this country are coming round to the idea of children's fragrances. I see no reason why it won't catch on on the same scale as in Spain, Italy and France."
Sounds suspiciously like a cynical attempt at attracting the perfume and aftershave buyers of the future, seducing young innocents into the beauty myth before they have time to catch their breath. And once they've outgrown their toddler smells, Givenchy, for one, is ready with a teen version, Fleur d'Interdit.
Jessie, three, and Fred, nearly six months, won't have this treat in store. Their mother, Barbara Downs, is horrified at the thought of spraying perfume on her children. "You can't beat their own smell, so why add to it? It would be like painting a lily."
Back at at the Givenchy counter a mother is saying that the aromatic, atmospheric Ptisenbon makes her want to have babies all over again. It surely won't be long before Calvin Klein launches CK For All The Family.

At any one time there is a natural tendency among physicists to believe that we already know the essential ingredients of a comprehensive theory.

Nasrudin used to take a donkey across a frontier every day, with the panniers loaded with straw. Since he admitted to being a smuggler when he trudged home every night, the frontier guards searched him again and again. They searched his person, staffed the straw, steeped it in water, even burned it from time to time. [...] One of the customs officers met him years later. "You can tell me now, Nasrudin," he said. "Whatever was it that you were smuggling, when we could never catch you out?" "Donkeys," said Nasrudin.nasreddin
In the sixth century B.C., Gautama, an Aryan princeling on the northern frontier of India, formulated a bleakly pessimistic philosophy that markedly resembles Schopenhauer's. This high doctrine of negation, for reasons that would require an extensive historical explanation, became extremely popular, but was variously interpreted by at least eighteen rival schools, each of which claimed alone to preserve the true teaching of Gautama the Buddha, and Gautama's austere atheism was gradually contaminated and obscured by the usual theological techniques, so that a philosophy that was intended to supplant religion was converted into just another elaborate and learned superstition.revilo p. oliver

Partisan of both "Madras" and "Chennai" used those names to assert that the city was, from its inception, a volatile borderland , a point of contact, mixing, hybridity . For its part "Chennai" suggests the frontier of pre-modern empire , whereas "Madras" is a frontier of modern imperial expansion. Both names, however, assert that the city is a "glocality" – a global entrepot in which diverse population , exchange media , languages , and ideas were brought into intimate and enduring relationships, and, more recently, a product of and staging ground for globalizing capitalism .Mary E. Hancock, modified the word 'glocalisation', coined by Roland Robertson to capture the articulation of global and local forces in the article "Globalization or Glocalization" published in the Journal of International Commemoration 1, no. 1 (1994):33-53, quoted in pp. 54, 227

Today some would say that those struggles are all over--that all the horizons have been explored--that all the battles have been won-- that there is no longer an American frontier. But I trust that no one in this vast assemblage will agree with those sentiments. For the problems are not all solved and the battles are not all won--and we stand today on the edge of a New frontier--the frontier of the 1960's--a frontier of unknown opportunities and perils-- a frontier of unfulfilled hopes and threats.John F.

California legislators back increase for AIDS drugs
BY Advocate.com Editors
September 18 2002 12:00 AM ET
Thirty California representatives in Congress joined across party lines on Tuesday to ask House of Representatives leadership to end waiting lists for AIDS drugs by increasing funds for treatment.
"With over 1,200 uninsured Americans on waiting lists for lifesaving medications, we're proud to see California's delegation speak out," said Clint Trout, AIDS Healthcare Foundation's federal associate director of government affairs. "These 30 compassionate leaders are casting aside partisan politics to show leadership, and we salute them."
AIDS Healthcare Foundation led the effort to secure the congressional letter along with several AIDS organizations, including AIDS Project Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center, Project Inform, and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.
U.S. representatives Mary Bono (R-Palm Springs), Henry Waxman (D-Los Angeles), Doug Ose (R-Woodland), and Diane Watson (D-Los Angeles) coauthored the letter.

"Tall, male and Jewish?" Greenberg Traurig denies new discrimination allegations
- Paul Brinkmann
- Reporter- South Florida Business Journal
- Email | LinkedIn | Twitter | Google+
A former Greenberg Traurig attorney in Philadelphia has filed a federal lawsuit in New York alleging she was damaged by a pattern of discrimination against female attorneys at the firm.
The lawsuit seeks class action status on behalf of all female employees at Greenberg Traurig but has only one named plaintiff, Francine Friedman Griesing, a cum laude graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Law School who joined Greenberg Traurig in 2007.
Greenberg Traurig said the suit is without merit and the firm will vigorously defend against it. The firm said Griesing was not fired and resigned on her own. In her lawsuit, however, Griesing says she was terminated for complaining about discrimination, and that the firm stopped assigning her work altogether.
Griesing is alleging about $1 million in back pay and damages that she is owed. The law firm handling her suit – Sanford Heisler – said total damages could exceed $200 million if all women at the firm during her tenure are approved by the court as members of a class.
It's not the first time Griesing has made headlines by complaining about managers, according to an article from the Philadelphia Daily News. The paper reported in 1998 that Griesing was one of the complainants in a probe of the city's law department that turned up no evidence of discrimination among management.
The new suit alleges that Michael Lehr, regional operating shareholder in charge of Philadephia, told Griesing at one point that only "tall, male and Jewish' GT lawyers generate business."
The lawsuit says Lehr told Griesing once that she did not "need the money" and that the firm had chosen to decrease Griesing's bonus so it could offer higher bonuses to male shareholders who had "families to support."
In response, Greenberg Traurig released a statement from one of its highest-ranking women, Hilarie Bass of Miami, who sits on the executive committee.
Bass called the lawsuit "an affront to the accomplished, talented women of Greenberg Traurig, who, like all of our lawyers, are compensated based on merit."
According to the lawsuit, the U.S. Employment Opportunity Commission concluded in June 2012 that there is (1) "reasonable cause" to support class-wide claims of gender discrimination in compensation; (2) reasonable cause to support claims that women are treated less favorably in the terms and conditions of their employment; and (3) reasonable cause to support an allegation of retaliation.
Bass said the lawsuit lacks merit and misrepresents the EEOC's findings because those findings were limited to one office and a few employees.
The suit also mentioned CEO Richard Rosenbaum and Bass by name.
"One man, CEO Richard Rosenbaum, makes all promotion and compensation decisions for each and every GT shareholder nationwide. CEO Rosenbaum consults with only four other high-ranking male GT shareholders on shareholder compensation … a centralized brotherhood controlling who gets paid what at all times," the suit said.
It alleges that Griesing took her complaints to Bass at one point, and that Bass agreed to take her complaints to the board, but that never happened.
Greenberg Traurig, with more than 1,700 attorneys and more than a billion dollars in annual revenue is the largest law firm in South Florida and one of the largest law firms in the United States.

Missing Malaysian Flight MH370 Q&A: Has Malaysia been keeping information secret? Will they ever stop looking? And are the pilots involved or not?
Simon Calder
Simon Calder's career in travel started at Gatwick Airport, where he cleaned aircraft for Laker Airways and later worked as a security officer. He became The Independent's Travel Correspondent in 1994, and is known as "the Man Who Pays His Way" because he does not accept free travel facilities. He writes across the Independent titles, as well as for the Evening Standard.
Travel Correspondent
Tuesday 25 March 2014
The disappearance of a routine flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 227 passengers and 12 crew aboard remains shrouded in uncertainty. With wildly differing theories about the loss of the Malaysia Airlines jet, the MH370 mystery is becoming to the early 21st century what the JFK assassination was to the 20th. We look at the key questions – and offer some cautious answers.
Has Malaysia been keeping information secret?
Information has certainly been ineptly managed since the Boeing 777 went missing on 8 March, but I have not seen convincing evidence that it has been deliberately withheld by Malaysia Airlines or the Malaysian government. They have both stressed the need to communicate openly with the relatives of the 239 people on board, but also to verify information before it has been released.
The key accusation that the Malaysians must answer, once the search is completed, is why it failed to act immediately on the key data supplied by Inmarsat about the jet's last hours? The London-based firm told investigators of the vital information three days after the disappearance of the Beijing-bound flight. But it took a further four days before the futile search in the South China Sea was abandoned, and prolonged the unimaginable anguish of the relatives.
How significant is the lack of a distress signal from the pilots, and of evidence of passengers using their mobile phones?
Very significant. Starting on the flight deck: the order of priorities of any pilot is clear: aviate (ie keep the aircraft flying), navigate (achieve the desired course and altitude), communicate. If the crew were dealing with a complex and unforeseen problem, they would quite properly focus on the issue rather than contacting the ground or other aircraft. But it appears that a number of manoeuvres were performed that would seem to allow enough time for one or other pilot to broadcast a warning.
If passengers became aware of an unusual or sinister development, it is highly likely that at least some of them would switch on their mobile phones – a few of which would be expected to register on networks while briefly flying over the Malayan peninsula. But the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission reports no such contact. It is possible that passengers were unaware of the change in course, or that they were incapacitated, for example by depressurisation of the cabin.
Once the aircraft was some distance from land, any contact with ground stations would be impossible.
Were the pilots involved?
"Probably a suicidal pilot," says the aviation expert Chris Yates. "I see no other conclusion to draw, other than a vague possibility that a passenger or passengers took control." There has been much speculation about the backgrounds and states of mind of the captain and first officer. However, many other theories have been put forward. Could something as trivial as a spilt cup of coffee on the flight deck cause an electrical short circuit, which smouldered and produced enough smoke to overcame the pilots before they could broadcast a Mayday? Or could some other event have disabled the communications systems and incapacitated the flight crew?
Has hijacking/terrorism now been discounted?
The suicidal terrorism demonstrated to such deadly effect on 9/11 was aimed at mass murder and targeting iconic structures. Had these been the motives with MH370, then the obvious targets would be the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur - until a decade ago the tallest buildings in the world. Traditional hijacking involves the perpetrator demanding to be flown to a different destination, and does not usually result in the destruction of the aircraft. So unless a macabre new strain of evil has been devised, it is difficult to identify a motive. In addition, no credible claims have been made by any terrorist group for the loss of the jet.
Will they ever give up looking for the aircraft?
Compared with the search for traces of Air France flight 447, which crashed in the Atlantic between Rio and Paris five years ago, looking for MH370 is an order of magnitude more difficult. The distance from the shore is much greater, the sea conditions much heavier and the clues about possible locations much less certain. It is an extraordinarily expensive business. But so much is riding on finding out what happens, that the search is likely to continue indefinitely. The need for some sort of closure for the relatives is clear. But the aviation community is also desperate to learn more – in case there is some previously unidentified issue with the aircraft, and to establish responsibility before the legal process begins.
If they find it, will they raise it?
Search teams will want to recover as much as possible of the debris, to get clues about the aircraft's final moments – and the sequence of events that led to the loss. They will home in on the flight data recorder, which keeps details of commands from the flight deck, and the cockpit voice recorder. The latter, though, may not yield many clues since it has only a two-hour capacity, and therefore cannot reveal what happened over the Gulf of Thailand.
Has bad news about a crash been given by text message previously?
Not as far as I can tell – but there has never been an event like this. With the unexplained loss of a large passenger jet, we are in uncharted territory – or at least territory that has been uncharted for decades. Thankfully air disasters are so rare that "normal" is difficult to define. But in previous events, relatives have tended to learn the worse from the media, rather than the airline.
