WISeKey Showcases Latest Anti-Counterfeiting Technologies at BaselWorld to Lead the Fight Against Counterfeit and Imitations
31 Mar, 2014, 13:00 BST
GENEVA and BASEL, Switzerland, March 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
WISeKey is present with its anti-counterfeiting technology at BaselWorld 2014 to demonstrate to the Luxury Goods Market the latest technology deployed with several leading Swiss watch manufacturers. WISeKey's anti-counterfeiting technologies revolutionized the fine timepiece industry when first launched at BaselWorld in 2009 together with Hublot. Earlier this year Hublot announced at Davos the extension of the cooperation with WISeKey for another 3 years. http://www.hublot.com/en/news/jean-claude-biver-at-the-world-economic-forum-in-davos
The collaboration launched in 2009 has made Hublot a leader in the field of digital identification and authenticity protection. All Hublot watches are protected by WISeAuthentic®, the authenticity certification system based on WISeKey technology, and the 69 Hublot boutiques and 750 points of sale across the world are equipped with the system for activating and reading this new digital certificate. It also led to the creation of "Hublotista.com", an exclusive club which connects all the Hublot watch owners worldwide.
Counterfeiting is a big problem for the luxury goods industry, and especially for the watch industry. In 2011, the Swiss watch industry exported watches worth 19.278 billion Swiss francs. More than 50,000 people in Switzerland work in the Swiss watch industry. It is estimated that 40 million counterfeited watches are offered for sale each year. This means damage of approximately 800 million Swiss francs per year. All these figures show that the watch industry is greatly affected by this scourge and thus has a major interest in the fight against counterfeiting at the most important trade show for this sector.
"Sometimes buyers know they're not getting the real deal when they acquired counterfeited watches. But more and more often, buyers pay full market price for a forgery, thinking they're getting the genuine item. The latter instances are what we call true counterfeits, and these represent the gravest threats to legitimate manufacturers and the buying public", said Carlos Moreira, CEO of WISeKey.
WISeKey has continued to enhance the technology to better empower brands, consumers, distributors, governments and vendors to distinguish genuine goods from illegal imitations. Foremost among these developments is the deployment of laser engraving, Nano particles and connected watches via NFC tags and iBeacon, using different form factors other than standard smartcards, which can be embedded into products across markets, from consumer goods to manufacturing. Along with supporting the patented WISeAuthentic encryption technology, these tags allow authentication of genuine products for the life of the item, control of the gray market, easier sales monitoring, and a direct marketing channel between the brand and the consumer. The advancements in this WISeKey technology can apply to product and object segments as diverse as smartphones, cars, alarm systems, semiconductors, industrial sensors and household appliances. In the near future, all of these objects will be fully connected to the Internet, enabling intercommunication and autonomous trusted machine-to-machine (M2M) data transfer.

…to Prepare for Vacation
If you are like me, your summer travel planning has already begun. One important piece to vacation planning that is often overlooked is the financial preparedness component.
Below is a checklist of eight financial "To-Do's" to keep both your vacation spending in check and your money safe during your summer travels.
Eight Best Financial Practices to Prepare For Vacation
- Set a Budget. Before you purchase your airplane tickets, first things first, set a reasonable budget. If you have to borrow money or use a credit card to travel, consider a staycation or traveling to a nearby city.
- Inform Your Financial Institution. Once you set your travel dates, let your bank know that you will be traveling. Out-of-state purchases with your debit card could raise a red flag of potential fraud with your financial institution. By notifying your bank when you will be out of town, your access to funds on your trip will not be impeded.
- Update Your Information. Make sure your contact information is current with your financial institution and other service providers, such as security companies. Updated information ensures you can be reached in case an issue arises at home while you are away.
- Request a Chip Card. If your summer travel plans include Europe, ensure your bank debit card and credit cards are security chip enabled. More and more, merchants in Europe require a chip-enabled card.
- Make Copies. Photo copy your driver's license, passport, and the front and back of all debit and credit cards you will carry on your trip. Keep one copy secured in a hotel safe or hidden in a safe place and leave another copy with a close friend or relative back home. If your wallet or purse is stolen, you will have a copy of your identification as well as phone and account numbers to cancel compromised cards.
- Purchase Foreign Currency Ahead of Time. Ask your bank if it offers the ability to purchase foreign currency. Having a little local cash when you step off the plane can be a life-saver.
- Use a Bank ATM When Withdrawing Funds. If you need to withdraw cash when traveling, locate and use a bank's ATM. ATM skimmers are very prevalent and are often found on ATM's in public places. A bank's ATM is not as likely to be compromised due to frequent servicing and the likely presence of cameras.
- Enroll in a Fraud Alert System. Check with your financial institution to see if it has an automatic fraud alert system to notify you of unusual activity on your bank card or credit card. This is a wise practice, regardless if you are planning a vacation or not.
All of the steps above are easily implemented. With a little financial planning, your summer vacation will be memorable for all of the right reasons.

By Gregg Bragg, The Island Connection Staff Writer
Council for the Town of Kiawah Island was ready to meet on June 6. However, neither the town's attorney, nor town administrator were. Both would miss the council meeting because each had a different meeting they had to attend. "I hope we don't encounter any parliamentary conundrums today, because we are on our own," jested the mayor.
Mayor Weaver opened his remarks with the topic of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management. OCRM is a division of the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, and will be responsible for establishing a line along the SC coast, seaward of which development will not be allowed. The boundary was historically drawn every ten years, but passage of S.139 (this time last year) provides for a permanent line to be drawn. The mayor thinks OCRM will have a proposal ready by August, followed by a public hearing, and adoption by year's end. He added that only property owners would be able to appeal the new limit.
The mayor then mentioned the Kiawah Island Golf Resort's (KIGR) plans to develop some of its properties "consistent with the 2010 development agreement."
This means several changes in zoning ordinances should be expected, along with updates to the town's comprehensive plan. The changes were slated to appear before the planning commission June 7. Approval is expected and the mayor anticipates a first reading of the changes to occur coincident with the hearings, and the second, final hearing to be part of next month's council meeting.
Kiawah resident Wendy Kulick said she was "thrilled that council has updated its position opposing offshore drilling. Please do not interpret my questions as criticism of that position." Her question being, "How did Council determine what the majority of Kiawah Island property owners believe regarding off-shore drilling?"
Councilmember Diana Mezzanotte later explained it was an informal poll of her environmental committee.
Old business began with ordinance 2017-08, a measure to adopt the 2017- 2018 fiscal year budget for TOKI. This was the second reading of the ordinance and it came with plenty of congratulations for a job well done by the town's treasurer, and budget committee. There was one change on the first page of the budget. $350,000 was budgeted for town hall to be spent in 2017, which councilmember Widuch said "has been moved to the budget for 2018. [The change] does not affect the cost of town hall, just the budget." The measure passed unanimously. Use of the new town hall facilities was greatly debated last month.
Councilmembers returned to the drawing board to develop a more general plan for the use of town hall in the face of construction plans for the Sandcastle, which will disrupt meetings, classes, and everything else held there for an undetermined period. Councilmember Mezzanotte wants TOKI to help and hashed out more of the details, but there is still some thinking to be done.
Councilmember Wilson, for example, observed that not all town meetings were scheduled six months in advance, in an attempt to explain objections raised last month (if other groups do schedule in advance, TOKI would not be able to use its own facility?), and suggested the chamber itself be reserved for town use.
New business began with discussion of the number of county deputies Kiawah Island should keep on hand for the summer season. The mayor specified there would be an additional deputy on weekends, and one additional overall for the summer.
He couldn't help but marvel at how it took three deputies to manage traffic to Beachwalker Park over the Memorial Day weekend, but thought it was a success.
The mayor was equally quick to disclaim that TOKI is relying on the county to vet personnel, and to keep TOKI informed about the qualifications of any deputies they brought on board. Councilmember Jack Koach mentioned the contract is good until 2018, which gives TOKI time to review the success of the plan. The measure passed unanimously.
The second item of new business was a recommendation to amend resolution 2015-01 by adopting resolution 2017-01 opposing seismic testing and offshore drilling along the South Carolina Coast. The original measure was passed during a brief period when the Obama administration and Washington speculated local offshore drilling in the Atlantic Ocean was a good idea. TOKI was last among coastal communities to oppose oil exploration at the time, but ultimately did so in a 3-2 vote. The new measure is an entirely different animal.
Councilmember Mezzanotte pointed out that her poll of the environmental committee suggested near universal support for the ordinance. Eyes widened however, when councilmember Koach asked why council didn't simply let the previous resolution stand as is. This question proved serendipitous, and enabled several council members to clarify their positions.
Councilmember Wilson and Mayor Weaver were both members of counsel in 2015, and both voted against the resolution. Koach's question allowed the mayor to elaborate on his opposition at the time, which was based on technical details he felt the previous resolution shouldn't have made, and express support for the current measure as more direct.
The mayor went on to say it seemed there is a "clear majority of our citizens who don't want drilling off the coast."
Councilmember Mezzanotte wasn't done though, adding, "This is a matter of who and what we are. We should make a statement, and we should feel good about it." The mayor reminded attendees he had spent 25 years in oil and gas, but said he would support the resolution.
Councilmember Widuch made similar remarks, but conceded that he was in a minority. Both Weaver and Widuch joined in a unanimous vote to oppose offshore oil exploration.
The final item of new business was a discussion of the annual employee disclosure statements on ethical conduct and conflicts of interests. The mayor was quick to specify this move was unrelated to past activity among staff, but merely a matter of best practices. He said the town's attorney would receive, assess, and report to council on both full time and contract staff. Councilmember Koach suggested failure to provide requested information and/or sign the contract should be a dismissal offense. The measure passed unanimously.
Councilmember Mezzanotte reported the environmental committee and its subcommittee on sea level rise had identified 30 areas of concern and (potential) improvement for Kiawah. She said they are working with Seabrook, Beaufort and Charleston to identify and improve infrastructure in the face of rising seas based on the Army Corps of Engineers assessments.
Councilmember John Wilson reported on the ways and means committee. He thanked staff for a smooth budget cycle and a final product he characterized as "solid and defensible."
Councilmember Widuch said the new town hall is still on schedule and below budget. He cautioned progress is fluid, but said it looks good for an August move in. He also said the temporary trailer for firefighters residing at station 6 (the intersection of Flyaway and Governors) was onsite. He expects 2 to 6 weeks to move equipment, and expects the old building will be torn down in July.
The mayor then announced the formation of a new project to be headed by John Wilson and Chris Widuch. The Federal Emergency Management Agency turned down the bulk of TOKI's requests for funds. The town may get $125,000 (without appeal), but council continues to be perplexed by Hilton Head, which got $8 million in relief, and is so similar to Kiawah. The mayor added that FEMA appears to run counter to moving quickly to get business back to normal. He noted one difference; Hilton Head maintains a reserve of $40 million. The observation has the mayor asking if Kiawah needs a bigger reserve fund and/or does the town need to have credit lines in place (similar to Seabrook's bond options).
Wendy Kulick was back for the second round of citizens comments and asked for TOKI's help in getting the word out about disaster awareness day, now being held on Seabrook for the third consecutive year. Her concern was fewer Kiawah residents attended when the event was held on Seabrook.
Kulick also asked about the speed limit in front of the town hall and asked the county could be made aware of the situation. She also thanked council for the resolution to oppose offshore oil exploration and commended the town's efforts to monitor the ethics of its employees.
Kiawah resident Dennis McGill asked about the professional services line of the new budget, noting attorney's fees were capped at $90,000. Since the town's attorney takes up $80,000 in annual salary, he wanted to know what the other $10,000 was for. He asked if a final figure had been determined for the outside attorney used to assist TOKI in arbitrating the water rate increase. The mayor said a final number was still not known.
McGill then asked about the Mercer Group's contracts with TOKI. The mayor responded saying the Mercer Group was currently evaluating the permitting process and wouldn't move to the issue of salaries until later this year. McGill concluded by asking if the four TOKI staff members who had received excess payments had retuned all funds due the town, only to be informed they had not.
The town's treasurer would later agree to meet with McGill for a review of the budget. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

- Drinking alcohol with medications that are prescribed by a physician for a certain disorder, such as diabetes or a heart condition can be especially dangerous; it would be wise for a person to ask their doctor or a pharmacist whether they can drink safely while taking the medication.
- The type of treatment one receives for their alcohol dependence problems depends on the severity of their alcohol problem and the resources that are available in their community. Treatment may include detoxification (the process of safely getting alcohol out of your system); taking doctor-prescribed medications, such as disulfiram (Antabuse�) or naltrexone (ReVia), to help prevent a return (or relapse) to drinking once drinking has stopped; and individual and/or group counseling.
- Are Beer and Wine Safer Than Liquor? No. Alcohol is alcohol. It can cause you problems no matter how you consume it. One 12-ounce bottle of beer or a 5-ounce glass of wine (about a half cup) has as much alcohol as a 1.5-ounce shot of liquor.
- Consuming up to three drinks per week can have a negative impact on endurance for up to 48 hours after the last alcoholic beverage has been consumed.

It's Not Only About Love!
by Ruth Sharon
Healthy relationships are built on a strong foundation of the traits and qualities that reflect the couple's consciousness—it's not only about love. To avoid the pitfalls of negative patterns and devolving affection, be sure to stay fresh, present and engaging!
We had the honor of walking the last two of our children down the aisle in the past seven months: Michael married Dana in September 2015 and Aly married Chris in April 2016 (the outdoor wedding below). Our older daughter, Alaina, has been wed to Bill for 13 years and has two amazing daughters!
Our nuclear family of five has grown to be the 10 of us (with more to come…).
What does it take to create and sustain a healthy, happy, sacred relationship? Love is not all that is required. Being married for more than 45 years to my adorable college sweetheart, Jim Sharon, and working with thousands of couples in counseling, coaching and seminars, I have learned a great deal about love. Love is a container that holds the relationship dear. Love is not only a fleeting feeling, but a life force that connects and unites us all. Love also reveals difficulties and weaknesses so we can heal and grow.
I hope to dispel several myths and add some clarity to traits needed for a strong and lasting love. Please refer to our book Secrets of a Soulful Marriage for more elaboration.
Myth #1: You have to give up your personal freedom to join with/commit to your partner. Freedom and commitment cannot coexist—you have to choose one. Compromising who you are is the key to a "yes, dear" lifestyle.
Soulful Perspective: Having the courage to assert your needs, wants, desires, dreams and goals makes you a better partner. Self-love, being true to yourself and growing as an emerging individual allows you to add to your partner, to your relationship and to your community.
Myth #2: Your ever-present job is making your partner happy. Anticipate his/her needs and sacrifice your personal life so you don't upset him/her. Be able to read your lover's mind and satisfy his every need.
Soulful Perspective: Each of you is responsible for your own happiness. You can communicate and make requests so you can understand each other and enjoy being together even more fully. Being honest about your moods, feelings, cycles and insecurities is integral to a healthy relationship. Being able to be vulnerable, real, supportable and coachable makes you a genuine partner.
Myth#3: You and your partner complete each other. You are each missing aspects of yourself that your lover finishes for you. You believe in the notion that 1/2+1/2=1. You refer to your lover as "my other half" or "my better half."
Soulful Perspective: You are each whole unto yourself. Striving to be and express more of your true nature gives your life meaning. Being a whole person allows you to balance the physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and social aspects of yourself. You endorse the vision of one plus one =unlimited!
Myth #4: You promised in your wedding vows (or commitment ceremony) to always love, honor and cherish each other. If you really love and respect your partner, you would not get angry or disagree with him/her, especially in front of family and friends.
Soulful Perspective: Conflicts, disagreements and upsets are an integral part of a healthy relationship. You can respectfully disagree and even feel sad, worried, annoyed, frustrated, resentful, jealous—and still cherish each other. An alive, soulful relationship affords you the permission to honestly communicate what triggers are activated, so you can heal past patterns/hurts. Constructively solving conflicts and strengthening your connection is a fine art!

This is a letter from one of our gentleman members. In this letter, there might be no flowery language and clear-structure, but we can see an sincere feeling, and earnest advice from that. We are stirred to the depth by the stories of them.
We me in Bejing 6 months later after many e mails. Our interpreter who is also the same person who did our emf letters was there at airport with Xin. Xin and I were equally nervous, But our interpreter acted as a good friend to the both of us. We became more comfortable with time.
The next day we went to visit downtown Beijing it was very crowded and Xin and I were having problems with each other. An argument broke up later as we were both exasperated. Xin then called her interpreter and things went much smoother afterwards. I want to thank the agency and our internecine as she remained willing to help both Xin and I understand one another
Eventually our relationship blossomed and during my 2 week stay we became very found and close. Xin had tears in her eye so sad to see me leave as I also missed her dearly.
It's been only a month since I left china.
Xin and I email every day and we hope to get married in 2011.
For a westerner to be able to appreciate a fine Chinese lady is in itself an amazing and wondrous event.
I truly like china and Tianjin and the people there!
One can only grasp the magnitude and vastness of modern. China by. Being there !
I now understand that the people who translate for chnlove also act as matchmaker and help their Chinese lady to better understand their correspondence.
I am truly grateful that their care and dedication goes well beyound from what I ever expected from them !
Indeed I recommend chnlove to any Westerner who truly in their heart and mind wish to meet and marry a Chinese lady. By using chnlove the Chinese lady of your choice has a much better understanding of the complexities from a culture half a world away.
My advice then is to make sure that the lady you write to is the one you would like as a wife. Chinese girls are sharp and expect their futur boyfriend to be both serious and interested with them. But once they trust you they are quick to make up their mind as they are vividly interested in marriage having dated their mate for even just a week as it turned out with me.
I found. Xin to be strong minded and well balanced emotionally and intellectually
Yet with a very simple and common sense approach to life
And yes the Chinese reputation for commitment in a relation is well deserved and once a lady says she loves you she truly means it as a life long commitment
Lastly men who want to date Chinese lady should expect to pay for everything!
So budget for 2
Also it's a good idea to buy your Chinese girlfriend nice present as a token of appreciation as it's customary for any Chinese to date a lady.
Do not appear concern with the expenses but simply view it as a way of proving your sincerity
Looks are also extremely important as clothing has to be impeccable especially in urban china were even a common factory worker wears nice and clean clothing.
Well I am closing my site here and wish all of chnlove. A happy new year !
Sincerely yours
Many Thanxs
– Member ID: CM983355, British Columbia, Canada
Never miss the chance of dating a real Chinese girl. Join Chnlove!

From Cramped & Outdated to Spacious & Timeless
This outdated kitchen presented a host of design challenges, including:
- Worn-out 70's styled cabinetry.
- Awkward access to stored items.
- Large unused space in the center of the kitchen.
- Only one prep area.
- Low ceiling height.
- Awkward traffic flow (one way in and one way out) because of the peninsula.
- No cabinet for microwave so it sat on the counter.
We updated the look of the kitchen with beautiful cabinetry, granite countertops, travertine flooring and a tumbled stone backsplash.
Our design group was able to overcome all of the design challenges:
- Cabinetry was replaced with timeless mocha-glazed maple cabinetry .
- We improved storage by adding new base cabinetry with full-depth lower shelving, slide outs, and large pot and pan drawers.
- The peninsula was changed out for a custom-fit island, giving the kitchen a spacious feel AND much more usable counter space.
- We added a second prep area (in the island) with full sink and waste disposal and a must-have pot filler at the cook top.
- The ceiling was raised almost 18".
- Traffic now flows naturally because the custom island provides a second entry and exit to the sink and cooking area.
- We added a built-in oven and microwave cabinet and included a warming drawer to make sure that large meals are always served hot.

Nick Dodge capped his high school football career with an excellent senior season at North Haven this fall. Nick, a senior captain who played both running back and linebacker, earned All-Conference, All-State, and Walter Camp honors on defense for the Indians. (Photo courtesy of Nick Dodge )
Fill out the form below to email this story to a friend×
Nick Dodge has been around football his entire life. Nick's father, Mike Dodge, was the longtime defensive coordinator at Southern Connecticut State University and served as a huge influence for Nick on the gridiron. Nick put what he learned from his dad to good use as a member of the North Haven football squad these past few years.
"Obviously, that is going to put extra pressure on me. Him being a football coach, I'd watch film with him on Saturdays, and it helped a lot," Nick says. "I wanted to do good by my father, so I had a lot of expectations to live up to."
North Haven Head Coach Anthony Sagnella says that Nick's father taught him specific details about the sport that helped him become a better player. This fall, Nick earned a variety of accolades for the Indians while leading the squad as a senior captain, including a spot on the All-State Team as a linebacker.
"He comes from a football family in that his dad had quite a career himself coaching at the college level," Coach Sagnella says. "I know that his father had a tremendous influence not only on his love and interest of the game, but his understanding of the game. He has the ability to see it differently from most kids."
Nick, whose brother Tom also played for North Haven, was one of five senior captains who guided the Indians into battle this season. Nick says he liked the added pressure of being relied upon to lead the team in the captain's helm.
"I definitely enjoyed being a captain. It puts more responsibility on you, and it puts more pressure on you. It's a great honor and a lot easier to gain the respect of your peers," Nick says. "When you're the captain, you can't just sit back and not act like it. It makes you step up to be a leader."
True to family form, Nick feels that he made the biggest impact on the defensive side of the football. As the Indians' middle linebacker, he totaled a combined 150 tackles between the past two seasons.
"I understood the defense and how it works, various coverages and formations, so that definitely helped," says Nick, who's 5-foot-9 and 165 pounds. "It wasn't my size, but I think because I'm pretty good at reading the guards, so it's easier to command the defense from the middle of the field. I just knew what was going on all the time. When people weren't sure where they're supposed to be or what to do, I could always help them out."
Coach Sagnella says that Nick used a combination of skills and savvy to thrive at the linebacker position. In his senior year, Nick made the All-SCC Tier 1 Team as a linebacker, in addition to solidifying spots on the Connecticut High School Coaches Association All State Class L Team and the Walter Camp All-State Second Team.
"He's not a very big guy, and he played a position on defense that was right in the middle of it, so I think Nick did an outstanding job of taking the tools that he had to be a great football player," says Sagnella. "He was very athletic and combined that with his intelligence and understanding of the game. Him making quite a few teams proves he mastered the ability to use his strengths."
Nick also emerged as a key contributor for North Haven's rushing attack during his senior season. Nick carried the ball 90 times for 715 yards and nine touchdowns this year, while helping the Indians continue their impressive run of success on the field.
"I didn't have much experience on that side of the ball. Last year, I didn't even play one snap of offense, so it was all new. The first thing I learned is that it's much more tiring when you play both ends of the ball," Nick says. "I'm a big fan of running the ball, and our offense was pretty good for it. It feels great to put up points on the board for your team."

Renewables push a gold mine for demand-response middlemen
On a February night in 2008, the wind died in the usually blustery Texas Panhandle, and a forest of wind turbines there stopped whirring. Power plunged, going from 1,700 megawatts to 300 megawatts in minutes, threatening a statewide blackout.
Alarmed, grid operators rushed to protect the electricity delivery system. Within minutes, electricity going to some major industrial customers was reduced dramatically. Plant lights were dimmed, air-handling systems and refrigerators shut down, and 1,100 megawatts were restored to the grid.
Disaster averted.
Thank "demand response" -- the management of consumers' electric consumption in response to critical supply constraints. In Texas, companies had made arrangements to allow their power to be interrupted in grid emergencies, using go-betweens that link "interruptible customers" with electricity providers.
Demand response is still a mystery to household electricity users, but they are likely to learn about it soon.
Congress is debating proposals that would require utilities to supply escalating amounts of electricity from renewable sources like wind, solar and biomass. The House Energy and Commerce Committee, for example, plans next week to mark up a sweeping energy bill from Democrats Henry Waxman of California and Ed Markey of Massachusetts that includes a renewable electricity standard (RES) of 15 percent by 2020 and requires utilities to ensure 5 percent energy savings through efficiency measures.
More wind and solar means more demand-response business. "The value of demand response is going to become bigger and bigger as we get more variable loads on the system," said David Brewster, president and co-founder of the Boston-based demand-response company EnerNOC Inc.
Since 2001, EnerNOC and at least two other third-party demand-response aggregators -- CPower Inc. and Energy Cutailment Specialists Inc. -- have entered energy-management markets, offering a combined portfolio of 7.7 gigawatts. The demand-response sector was estimated to be worth $1.3 billion in 2008 but is expected to grow to $8 billion by 2014, according to the green technology firm Cleantech Group.
More doors are expected to be open for demand-response aggregators, as "smart grid" initiatives are slated to receive $4.5 billion from the federal economic-stimulus package. Smart grid uses digital technology to save energy, cut costs and boost reliability of the delivery of electricity to consumers.
"We're really only scratching the surface," said Brewster, whose company has added more than 400 megawatts of demand-response capacity this year, bringing its total to 2,700 megawatts. "This is a wide-open opportunity."
'We anticipate continued growth'
EnerNOC was founded in 2001 but has since expanded from the New England area to power markets from coast to coast. It is one of the fastest-growing third-party firms, having more than doubled its power capacity since 2007.
In the first quarter of this year, EnerNOC signed capacity agreements with seven utilities, including Minneapolis-based Xcel Energy and four investor-owned utilities in Maryland; both Minnesota and Maryland have renewable energy standards.
When called to add capacity to the grid, EnerNOC can orchestrate power reductions from any of its 5,000 clients. Companies that participate are guaranteed a monthly check for providing power capacity, plus a premium payment for any energy they help EnerNOC save.
By tapping clients' energy networks, EnerNOC is also able to identify where energy is being wasted in much the same way General Motors Corp.'s OnStar system for cars notifies drivers when a tire is running low.
"After a couple of quarters with an industrial client, we become their trusted energy adviser," Brewster said.
CPower, founded in 2001 as ConsumerPowerline before changing its name in 2008, now manages about 2,000 megawatts of power at commercial, industrial and institutional properties, including about 120,000 residential units. Initially operating in New York and New England, the company has expanded to the mid-Atlantic, Texas, California and Ontario energy markets, and has plans to enter the European market in the coming years, said CEO Gary Fromer.
"We anticipate continued growth with or without carbon legislation," Fromer said, noting that customers are gravitating toward third-party demand-response aggregators as energy markets become more dynamic.
The same is true for regional transmission organizations like PJM Interconnection, the largest in North America. The most recent demand-response survey from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission shows that PJM has increased payments to curtailment service providers from less than $5 million in 2002 to more than $45 million in 2007.
"We've gotten to a world where that steel plant can be a participant in the energy market and provide great value to the system," Fromer said. "These are valuable resources, and we're far from saturated."
FERC also says demand-response capacity rose to 41,000 megawatts in 2008 -- 3,400 megawatts more than in 2006 -- and now accounts for about 5.8 percent of U.S. peak demand. The trend will likely continue as more homes and businesses are hooked up with advanced "smart" meters needed to facilitate demand response and utilities look for more ways to defer building new power plants.
Carbon curbs
The Waxman-Markey bill would also lead to a price being attached to carbon emissions as a way of curbing global warming. That would pressure utilities to seek more energy efficiency and peak-hour demand-response assets, said Eric Woychik, vice president of regulatory affairs for Comverge, which specializes in home-based demand response.
"Waxman-Markey is an important step to provide a market value for carbon, which becomes integral to resource selection and greater use of green resources," said Woychik, whose company went public in 2007 and recently installed its 5 millionth demand management device.
"Demand response, in particular, is the fastest, cheapest, cleanest resource available."

Official Title: PALbociclib rechallenge in horMone receptor-posItive/HER2-negative Advanced breast cancer – PALMIRA.
International, multicenter, randomized, open-label, phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuation of palbociclib in combination with second-line endocrine therapy in hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative advanced breast cancer patients who have achieved clinical benefit during first-line palbociclib-based treatment.
The primary goal is to compare the efficacy, defined as Progression-Free Survival (PFS), of continuation of palbociclib treatment combined with second-line endocrine therapy (fulvestrant or letrozole) versus endocrine therapy alone in pre- and post-menopausal women with HR-positive/HER2-negative Advanced Breast Cancer (ABC).
In addition, to explore potential molecular markers of sensitivity and/or resistance for the combination and endocrine therapy alone.

Drake's Open Letter Inspired by Alton Sterling Is an Emotional Must-Read
On Tuesday morning, Alton Sterling was selling CDs outside the Triple S Food Mart in Baton Rouge. According to CNN, after a homeless man approached him asking for money several times, Alton reportedly flashed his gun. The homeless man then called the police alleging that Alton had a gun. After the police arrived, there was an altercation that left Alton pinned to the ground, with the two officers on top of him. In the graphic video that has since been released, Alton's gun appears to have been in his pocket and never reached his hand. But still, he was shot by the two responding officers and then shot again at least four more times.
Alton's death makes him the 114th known black man to be killed by police in 2016 alone. His passing has sparked outrage in Baton Rouge and all across the country. A handful of celebrities and public figures have expressed their grief and frustration over this crucial issue. The newest celeb to step forward: Drake.
View this post on Instagram
A post shared by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi) on
The rapper took to Instagram yesterday to share this open letter regarding his thoughts on Alton's death. He says that the shooting has left him "disheartened, emotional and truly scared." Drake continues to speak on the issue and leaves us with one line that'll be sticking with us for a long time: "No one begins their life as a hashtag. Yet the trend of being reduced to one continues."

NBC Universal responded by wishing them well in their new relationship. ... Just kidding. They're suing.
