Topic - UKC fit club 298
Daniel Heath - on 02 Dec 2012
Liking Ally Smith's STG – Avoid Christmas Gluttony
Best to think about this one early before the temptations arise.
UKC Fit Club is not a substitute for the training diary but to use with ( or without ) it as a motivational tool for all.
For those wanting to find out more about training for climbing a number of physical training articles here:
A new thread is posted each week on Sunday for anyone to jot down their previous week's activity, noting goals, successes and failures and to swap ideas.
Anyone interested in starting is very welcome but you should aim to post each week, every week, however little or much you have done. By making such a regular public record of your activities and by restating your goals every week this new habit will hopefully improve your training habits to help achieve your goals whatever the level of your chosen activity.
Link to last week's (297) thread:
Ally_smith – Good to see you back. Read your blog, it sounds like a lot of adventure packed into two days of climbing.
Kevster – A couple of weeks of endurance now would make a difference for Chorro…
AJM – Good sessions. Maybe fill your rest days with little extras like press ups, core?
Joughton – Monday sounds like a mega session, I think I've done less in a whole week! It would be cool to see a vid of your Nosferatu HP when you go for it 
Seankenny – Well done on BFD. Hope to see some more "proper training"
Deacondeacon – Welcome to fit club! Looks like a good first week of training. Remember to post your week even when you have bad ones ;)
Richard Popp – Good to hear your resolve to train your weaknesses after reassessing your goals. I've no doubt you can get some gains in the next few weeks with this focus.
IanRUK – Good work running in your flight days when many would find an excuse to do nothing.
Eagle River – Good couple of sessions. Always good to take a big fall now and then.
Biscuit – Ah the dilemma between training for long term and resting for performance… Don't let me catch you on bodyfat :P (12-14.5% currently)
Nomics4Sale – Gentle fingerboarding isn't too much to ask. Do some!
Grubes – Grubes is back I the game! Psyche is good news
JimmyKay – I guess your job restricts your training much more than your student life… Still good to see you get enough done to improve. Clearly good quality sessions.
Ali – Another good week, and even your plans for "maintenance" seem plenty.
NMN – Sounds like you pushed yourself this week. Good work on the PB
Si_dH – Face reality and step on the scales :P Another busy week, take care of that finger.
Maria85 – I think you're allowed to eat cake on your birthday! Well done getting a bit of everything in even if you were feeling groggy
Mrchewy – Well done getting on a 6b. You're strong enough to climb 6b, so I'm sure you'll cruise them with some endurance + route climbing tactics (efficiency, resting, clipping etc).
Mattrm – Lots of good phys there. Sorry to hear about your gran.
Ian Bell – Good luck campussing, it's great for quick results if you don't get injured.
Rollo – Well done getting 3 sessions in, but I expect you could squeeze some form of exercise into those rest days?
Exile – Solid week. 1:20 on 6b+ sounds v tough
Pork Pie Girl – To echo Ali, your training volume puts most of us to shame! Hope your injury recovers soon
Oddtoast – I'm glad climbing's become a part of your life! At least you're still running. It's good to see you persevere with Couch to 5K.
Pebbles – Wishing you a quick recovery
Curious Yellow – Wow 5 sessions is a lot. Good that you're pushing yourself
Annak – Great week, and well done for having the discipline to rest. You could do a "recovery" run or some press ups if you feel the need for something?

A controversial, decades-old cross on a traffic island in Middleborough has a new lease on life following a spirited Town Meeting vote last week that allows local officials to work on a plan to save the display.
The 12-foot-by-7-foot brick icon has stood on a grassy triangle on Route 28 by what is now Dave's Diner since 1959, when the local Kiwanis Club and a handful of churches raised it as a sort of universal, nondenominational call to worship. While some consider it an important local landmark, many others had hardly noticed its presence.

Hubbaliya Shaharadaga (Kannada) - Cover by Vishnu Mohan & Sarada
Lyrics & Chords
This is an upbeat song composed by multi-talented Hamsalekha known for his versatility in producing wide range of musical hits in Kannada films for the last 20+ years. This song is written by Hamsalekha himself and he has generously used Urdu influenced Kannada phrases of Hubli-Dharwad region. This particular variant of Kannada diction is unique to the northern districts and is much cherished by all.
The song has been picturized on Shivrajkumar (Dr.Rajkumar's son) and Deepu, both dressed in folksy attires.
I am happy to have Vishnu Mohan join me in singing this song. This is Vishnu's first Kannada song on Muziboo and has done very well given that he is not familiar with the language and the unique diction. Vishnu also did a tremendous job mixing this. Thank you Vishnu.

Allison & Taylor
7 Resume Secrets from Hiring Managers
It's no secret that a mature candidate's years of job experience can often be by prospective employers looking for "youth and enthusiasm" (and perhaps the lower wage scale that often accompanies it).
For an older job seeker, this dilemma can be exacerbated by an ineffective resume. And in an ever-challenging job market, your resume will either be the tool to get you in the door, or ensure that your efforts fall by the wayside.
Countless applicants - young and older alike - offer resumes that are best categorized as tired, lifeless, or boring, says Allison & Taylor Reference Checking. An uninspired resume is a sure showstopper in the eyes of corporate reviewers, who are frequently inundated with an excess of employment candidates.
How, then, does a seasoned professional (perhaps 40-60 years of age) craft a resume that stands out from the pack, reflecting their experience, energy and attributes to best advantage?
Here are 7 Resume Tips from recently-surveyed hiring managers:
1. Trim your employment history to reflect your past 10-15 years. If you have hard-hitting employment credentials beyond this period, summarize them in a section at the end of your employment history. But, don't indicate specific dates for these earlier credentials.
2. Avoid leaving dates of education off your resume unless you have a strong strategic reason to do so. Leaving dates off may suggest to the employer that you are hiding your age and are older than your work experience might indicate. A rule of thumb is to omit college-graduation or other educational dates that are over 20 years old.
3. Ensure that your resume showcases valuable age-related attributes most likely to be valued by prospective employers - e.g. your judgment and decision-making abilities, your range of expertise, your reliability and dependable work ethic, and your commitment to corporate goals.
4. Highlight achievements that reflect strong technical or professional expertise, a high energy level, and the ability to be flexible and adaptable.
5. Employment accomplishments need to be concise, but detailed. Employers want to know as specifically as possible what you will "bring to their party". One benefit of (your) being a seasoned professional is that you will be more likely to bring a more specific level of expertise to any new assignment. However, be sure to articulate your accomplishments as concisely as possible - you want to keep your overall resume length to two pages if at all possible.
6. Leave off "references upon request" - this is a "given". Instead, have your reference list available (using the same font/format as your resume) upon employer request. Similarly, omit reference to hobbies or other ancillary items.
7. Most importantly, have your resume critiqued. Hiring managers repeatedly emphasize the need for a second (professional) set of eyes to review your resume. Many companies offer this service. Considering the possible stakes - namely, your gainful new employment sooner, than later - an investment in a world-class resume will surely be money well spent.
Age discrimination can be a serious obstacle for older workers to overcome. Use your resume as the tool to get your foot in the employment door for that initial interview. Then, convey - with a sense of confidence and self-assurance - the value you offer that is likely unmatched by your younger competitors in the job market arena. Your experience is your strength; take advantage, and both you and your employer will reap the benefits.

The following information is from Greenburgh Police Chief Joseph J. DeCarlo:
The National Weather Service has issued the following winter storm warning for our region from Friday afternoon through Saturday afternoon.
A winter storm warning for heavy snow means severe winter weather conditions are expected or occurring. Significant amounts of snow are forecast that will make travel dangerous. Only travel in an emergency. If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency.
To promote more effective road clearing and enhance safety during this storm the Department of Public Works requests you please:
· Keep Sidewalks and Paths Free of Ice and Snow
· Never throw, blow, or plow snow into the Street
· Clear Fire Hydrants
The Theodore Young Community Center will be open as a warming center and/or temporary shelter if it becomes necessary.
Con Edison Information
Customers can report downed power lines, outages, and check service restoration status by computer or mobile device at www.conEd.com/ReportOutage. They can also call 1-800-75-CONED (1-800-752-6633). When reporting an outage, customers should have their Con Edison account number available, if possible, and report whether their neighbors also have lost power. Customers who report outages will be called by Con Edison with their estimated restoration times as they become available.
Depending on the severity of storm damage, crews will give priority to restoring service lines that will provide power to the most customers as quickly as possible, then move on to restore smaller groups and individual customers who are without power.
Con Edison offers the following safety tips:
- If you see downed electrical wires, do not go near them. Treat all downed wires as if they are live. Never attempt to move them or touch them with your hands or any object. Be mindful that downed wires can be hidden from view by tree limbs, leaves or water.
- Report all downed wires to Con Edison and your local police department immediately. If a power line falls on your car while you're in it, stay inside the vehicle and wait for emergency personnel.
- If your power goes out, disconnect or turn off appliances that would otherwise turn on automatically when service is restored. If several appliances start up at once, the electric circuits may overload.
- Check to make sure your flashlights and any battery-operated radios are in working order. Make sure you have extra batteries.
- Weather updates and news on restorations of electrical service can be heard on most local radio and television stations.

|A Wikibookian suggests that Cryptography/Hash function be merged into this book or chapter.
Discuss whether or not this merger should happen on the discussion page.
A hash is the result of the application of a hash function (a very specific mathematical function or algorithm) that takes in some arbitrary value and produces a hash value, based on the given input.
Information security often includes situations where a user wants to transform one block of information into another block of information in such a way that the original block can not be recreated. It is also required that every time the input block is processed, it will produce the same output block. This means that the process is deterministic.
Such processes behave similar to a hash function and so are typically called cryptographic hashes. These hashes are used in serving authentication and integrity goals of cryptography. A cryptographic hash can be described as and has property that the hash function is one way. A given hash value can not feasibly be reversed to get a message that produces that hash value. I.e. There is no useful inverse hash function
This property can be formally expanded to provide the following properties of a secure hash:
- Preimage resistant : Given H it should be hard to find M such that H = hash(M).
- Second preimage resistant: Given an input m1, it should be hard to find another input, m2 (not equal to m1) such that hash(m1) = hash(m2).
- Collision-resistant: it should be hard to find two different messages m1 and m2 such that hash(m1) = hash(m2). Because of the birthday paradox this means the hash function must have a larger image than is required for preimage-resistance.
|A Wikibookian suggests that this book or chapter be merged into Cryptography/Hashes.
Please discuss whether or not this merge should happen on the discussion page.
A hash function is the implementation of the algorithm that given some data as input will generate an hash.
For Ex: If our hash function is 'X' and we have 'wiki' as our input... then X('wiki')= a5g78 i.e. some hash value.
Qualities of a good hash function are
1. Produces a fixed length key for variable input
2. Has got infinite key space, implies the next point
3. No collisions (i.e. no two different pieces of input give the same key value)
Applications of hash functionsEdit
Non-cryptographic hash functions have many applications,[1] but in this book we focus on applications that require cryptographic hash functions:
A typical use of a cryptographic hash would be as follows: Alice poses to Bob a tough math problem and claims she has solved it. Bob would like to try it himself, but would yet like to be sure that Alice is not bluffing. Therefore, Alice writes down her solution, appends a random nonce, computes its hash and tells Bob the hash value (whilst keeping the solution secret). This way, when Bob comes up with the solution himself a few days later, Alice can verify his solution but still be able to prove that she had the solution earlier.
In actual practice, Alice and Bob will often be computer programs, and the secret would be something less easily spoofed than a claimed puzzle solution. The above application is called a commitment scheme. Another important application of secure hashes is verification of message integrity. Determination of whether or not any changes have been made to a message (or a file), for example, can be accomplished by comparing message digests calculated before, and after, transmission (or any other event) (see Tripwire, a system using this property as a defense against malware and malfeasance). A message digest can also serve as a means of reliably identifying a file.
A related application is password verification. Passwords are usually not stored in cleartext, for obvious reasons, but instead in digest form. We discuss password handling -- in particular, why hashing the password once is inadequate -- in more detail in a later chapter, Password handling.
A hash function is a key part of message authentication (HMAC).
For both security and performance reasons, most digital signature algorithms specify that only the digest of the message be "signed", not the entire message. Hash functions can also be used in the generation of pseudo-random bits.
SHA-1, MD5, and RIPEMD-160 are among the most commonly-used message digest algorithms as of 2004. In August 2004, researchers found weaknesses in a number of hash functions, including MD5, SHA-0 and RIPEMD. This has called into question the long-term security of later algorithms which are derived from these hash functions. In particular, SHA-1 (a strengthened version of SHA-0), RIPEMD-128 and RIPEMD-160 (strengthened versions of RIPEMD). Neither SHA-0 nor RIPEMD are widely used since they were replaced by their strengthened versions.
Other common cryptographic hashes include SHA-2 and Tiger.
Later we will discuss the "birthday attack" and other techniques people use for Breaking Hash Algorithms.
Further readingEdit
- ↑ applications of non-cryptographic hash functions are described in Data Structures/Hash Tables and Algorithm Implementation/Hashing.

In this Article
What are the complications of thrombocytopenia?
The complications of thrombocytopenia may be excessive bleeding after a cut or an injury resulting in hemorrhage and major blood loss. However, spontaneous bleeding (without any injury or laceration) due to thrombocytopenia is uncommon, unless the platelet count is less than 10,000.
Other complications may be related to any other underlying factors or conditions. For example, autoimmune thrombocytopenia related to lupus may be associated with other complications of lupus. TTP or HUS can have many complications including severe anemia, confusion or other neurologic changes, or kidney failure. HIT or heparin induced thrombocytopenia can have devastating complications related to blood clot formation (thrombosis).
Can thrombocytopenia be prevented?
In general, thrombocytopenia can be prevented if the cause is known and it is preventable. If a certain medication is found to induce low platelet count in an individual, then its future use needs to be avoided. Alcohol avoidance should be encouraged in people with known alcohol-induced thrombocytopenia. Current and future use of all heparin products must be avoided in people diagnosed with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.

Markbass Little Mark Tube 800 Bass Amp HeadThe Markbass Little Mark Tube 800 bass amp head solves the "tube or solid state" dilemma. But it goes a step further by addressing that other perennial concern, "Will I have enough power?" The 800 watts from this powerful bass amp will satisfy any thirst for power, and the two bendable preamps give you the warmth and richness of a tube preamp, the clean attack of a solid state preamp, or a mix of both. The Markbass head features a mix control for mixing between solid state and tube. The result offers a range of sounds, from the crisp sound in the solid state, to a full, heavy tube sound in the tube state, as well as anything in between. On the front panel there are two inputs with separate gain controls: one 1/4" jack, and one combo jack that accepts either an XLR or 1/4". The Vintage Loudspeaker Emulator (VLE) and Variable Preshape Filter (VPF) allow access to a wide array of timbres, from classic tones to modern hi-fi sound. The Little Mark Tube 800's phantom power switch accompanies the XLR input, for using a microphone on a double bass. Mute control is as simple as a push and a pull on the master volume switch. Additional features include four bands of equalization, line out control, and pre-post EQ switch for the XLR out (on the rear panel). Markbass Little Mark amps and combos are manufactured to be sold and used in the country of purchase, and they are factory preset to that country's voltage. Due to homologation issues, the voltage may not be changed. Rack ears not included. The head features a single 6205 miniature tube.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
I have been thinking about a Markbass head for a while, they are very small, lightweight and powerful. My only hesitation came from the fact that I didnt know anyone with one to really know if they are reliable. Glad I took the risk!!
This head has plenty of power for an 810 (or my 610 and 15), and fits in 2 rack spaces with room next to it for my SansAmp. I love the tuner out on the back, and the ss/tube knob!
The VLE and VPF knobs are a little odd to get used to, but once I did, they provide a huge array of tone options! The 2 inputs are great too, input 2 is XLR with phantom power for a mic and an upright, I havent seen that feature on too many amps, but It's making me consider buying an upright to learn.
My only issue is to mute the amp you have to pull out the master volume knob. Wouldnt be that bad, but the knob is sometimes a little slippery, and not the easiest to pull out.

City of Titans fully funded, hits first Kickstarter stretch goal
A mere five days ago we saw the launch of a Kickstarter project for City of Titans, the spiritual successor to crime-fighting MMO City of Heroes. Developer Missing Worlds Media has now blown past its funding goal of $320,000 and shows no signs of a significant slowdown. With funds topping $360,000 as of this writing, City of Titans has already unlocked its first stretch goal, an Android port of the Avatar Builder.
In a post thanking Kickstarter backers, City of Titans project lead Chris Hare writes, "It's going to take a while. We all know that. MMOs take a long time to launch, and we'll probably slip a deadline or two. We will get other things out to you sooner. Parts, bits and pieces that are fun on their own, that will integrate into the final game. The Character Generator program comes first. Costumes and sliders and backgrounds. Possibly we'll be able to fit other things into it, but I don't want to count my chickens before I've irradiated their eggs with Kirbonium."
City of Titans is planned for release in later 2015, so it has a long way to go. The Kickstarter, meanwhile, also has another 26 days on the clock.

TUESDAY, Nov. 19, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- CPR training rates are lower in poor, rural U.S. communities, according to a new study.
The finding is troubling because timely bystander CPR -- cardiopulmonary resuscitation -- can boost the odds of survival for those who experience cardiac arrest outside of the hospital.
The researchers also found that fewer people are trained in CPR in the South, Midwest and West. The study authors suggest this could help explain why bystander CPR is used less frequently in these areas.
Using data from the American Heart Association, the American Red Cross and the Health & Safety Institute, the investigators examined CPR training rates among roughly 13 million people living in more than 3,100 U.S. counties.
The study, published online on Nov. 18 in JAMA Internal Medicine, showed that counties with the lowest rates of CPR training -- less than 1.3 percent of the population -- were also more likely to have a greater proportion of rural areas, black and Hispanic residents, and a lower average household income.
These areas also had fewer doctors and, on average, older residents, according to a journal news release.
The researchers, led by Dr. Monique Anderson, of the Duke Clinical Research Institute, in Durham, N.C., noted that counties in the Northeast had higher rates of CPR training.
"With regard to rural areas, more studies are needed on interventions that target the entire chain of survival," the study authors concluded.

The real work of Windows 8 lies ahead
Early impressions of Microsoft's newest operating system have focused on its touch-screen functionality and mobile devices. Helping transform the PC may be its bigger task.
When Windows 8 was released, last October, some early reviews were more memorable than fair.
One critic called it "a Christmas gift for someone you hate." Gaming executive Gabe Newell said Microsoft's (MSFT) new operating system "is like this giant sadness." Auto-complete suggestions at Google's (GOOG) search engine delivered comparisons to "a bad blind date." (Microsoft is the publisher of MSN Money.)
People talked about Windows the way they talk about Congress, and for basically the same reason. No one likes a compromise.
An important goal for Microsoft when it launched Windows 8 was to get its operating system onto tablets and other mobile devices. For years, PC manufacturers have been beating at the gates of mobile computing, experimenting with more portable designs like netbooks and ultrabooks, and finding only limited success. Windows 8 was to be the Trojan horse that got them in.
"The focus on touch-based computing in Windows 8 is huge," according to a review at the Verge.com. It's "easily among the best tablet user interfaces I've ever tried," says tech site AnandTech.
But while Microsoft has created a compelling alternative for a tablet market currently split between Google's Android and Apple's (AAPL) iOS, Windows 8 might turn out to have an even bigger impact, as the driver of the evolution of traditional PCs.
The PC fights back
So far, PC manufacturers have yet to figure out which Windows 8 designs will sell, or at what price. But they understand the importance of getting this right. As things stand, the entire PC ecosystem is threatened by the growth in ultra-mobile devices like the iPad. Large companies like Dell (DELL) risk losing ground to smaller innovators like Lenovo and Asus. If the PC dies, they die along with it.
That may be the most controversial thing about Windows 8. In the post-PC narrative, the personal computer isn't supposed to fight back. It's supposed to become obsolete; it's supposed to be absorbed into the cloud or be replaced by the little gadgets we used to play Angry Birds on. Wild applause greets each new permutation of the iPad/iPhone, while every attempt to redesign the PC is met with head-scratching. The tech world has become as fixated today with mobility as it was a decade ago with megahertz.
There is a fundamental difference, though, between handheld devices that we all use for the same thing -- Twitter, YouTube, Google maps -- and machines that we customize and use differently.
How many of the PCs sold each year are intended to run enterprise software, trade applications or video games that most of us will never hear of? Versatility makes these computers useful, but it also makes that usefulness more specialized, less visible -- and less sexy. With Windows 8, Microsoft is arguing that there are uses for a truly adaptable touch-screen machine, even if we can't envision what they are.
The company has produced a few tablets to try to prove it. The Surface RT is largely indistinguishable from the competition, but the Surface Pro is something different. Like Windows 8, it is a compromise -- a marriage between a tablet and a PC -- and it, too, evoked some negative reactions when it was announced, last year.
The Pro doesn't compare favorably with other tablets on battery life, and its price/performance is not great for a PC. But these comparisons miss the point. Microsoft has never made the best products, just the ones that imposed the fewest restrictions. By combining performance with iPad-like portability, the company has produced what might be the most versatile digital device currently on the market. You can do practically anything with it -- that is, until its battery dies.
The real test will come once more products like the Surface Pro are available, and when metrics like battery life have improved to the point where they are competing on their merits rather than their shortcomings.
We will also, over the next few months and years, find out what other doors have been opened with the introduction of Windows 8 as manufacturers experiment with new form factors like tablet PCs. Whether you love what Microsoft is doing or hate it, there's no denying it's exciting.
More from Minyanville:
I hate it in the press today where every reporter (or blogger) reads someone else's reports and then rewrites the information as if they are an expert in the field. Here's a great example of it.
Why not report on something that you actually user or know about?
Surface RT is a lot more than it's competition, that becomes a lot more evident as a companion machine to Windows 8 desktop. Surface Pro is just regular Windows 8 in a sweet platform.
It's when you look at the Windows 8 ecosystem that many of the more compelling advantages come out. How many iPad apps will run on an iMac? Basically ALL Surface RT apps run on regular Windows 8 or Surface Pro.
My passwords, favorites, even screen backgrounds are replicated between my devices.
As many will find out, the ecosystem is a lot more than 499,000 apps that no one uses. It's about the apps that people use and how to make them work even better. Integration with the phone, with the XBOX, between applications, from touch to the mouse to the keyboard.
Windows 8 integrates it all together into a quite amazing ecosystem. Windows 8 gives the user choices. Do you want a 48 inch screen or a 4.8 inch screen? Do you want to type it or touch it? Do you want to carry it with you or leave it on the desk.
Choice, that's what Windows 8 brings!!
And btw, Windows 8 works great on legacy systems without touch. That's what I'm using now and if you didn't look closely, most people would think that I'm on Windows 7.
Screw Windows 8!
I love Windows XP and will continue to install it on any of my present and future Customized gaming PC's. At least, until the incompetent idiots at Microsoft learn how to make products that reach out and satisfy every age group.
Until Microsoft develops something better than Windows XP, they will never get any money nor support from me nor any of my family members.
Long live Windows XP!
First, Microsoft really screwed the pooch by releasing Windows RT, Windows 8, the Surface RT and the Surface Pro all at about the same time, and then 100% confusing almost all non-technical consumers about what was what and what was the same and what was the difference. As a consequence, weaknesses perceived in one are indubitably linked to all.
Windows 8 is already (rightfully) the most hated operating system of all time. Windows RT is ,as you've accurately pointed out "useless for now". And finally, you've got a half-baked version of Windows RT embodied by Metro UI in Windows 8. You've pretty much got a situation as if Ford and Coke had introduced the Edsel and New Coke together in a 1.5 billion dollar joint ad campaign. How do you suppose that would have worked out?
And second, the world is moving at a MUCH faster pace than when Microsoft had it's last major disaster, namely Vista, in which they had three years to "finally get it right" when they released Windows 7, which was basically just Vista that worked.
Today, Microsoft doesn't have three years to get it right, they have six months. But they don't really even have six months because they botched things so badly to start with. Microsoft has already poisoned the well with their massive product-release and marketing incompetence, trying to stuff the hated Windows 8 down the throats of the masses and the enterprise when tens of thousands of advanced testers and analysts told them it would be a disaster, and producing over-priced, half-baked, me-too products like the Surface RT.
In six months, the debate will be over. The evidence will be overwhelming by then that the Windows 8 ecosystem is the biggest disaster in the history of Microsoft, and furthermore, their "partners" will also have lost billions as well by uncritically gulping gigantic cups of the Windows 8 ecosystem Kool-Aid.

Austin Jackson went two-for-five at the plate with two RBI, while Miguel Cabrera and Don Kelly each hit a solo home run. Starter Anibal Sanchez did not figure in the decision, giving up two runs on six hits while striking out ten, and Al Alburquerque notched his third win of the year in relief.

A new publication from the League of Women Voters Education Fund, "From Theory to Practice: A Grassroots Education Campaign," shares lessons learned by the state and local Leagues in Kansas and South Carolina that participated in "Safeguarding Democracy: Quest for a More Diverse Judiciary" from 2009-2012. The publication is intended as a resource for Leagues and partner organizations that seek guidance for the implementation of successful grassroots education campaigns.
Date: 6 PM-8 PM, August 7, 2012Location: University of South Carolina School of Law Auditorium, Columbia, South CarolinaEvent: Reception and Public ForumPartners: South Carolina Women Lawyers AssociationThe League of Women Voters of South Carolina culminated its two-year project focusing on the state judicial system's diversity and independence with a public forum entitled "The State of the Judiciary in South Carolina: From Research to Reality." The forum was held on Tuesday, August 7 at the University of South Carolina School of Law Auditorium. Speakers included Senator Larry Martin, new Judiciary Committee Chair and Judicial Merit Selection Commission Vice Chair; Representative Leon Howard, past Chair, South Carolina Legislative Black Caucus; Judge Carolyn Matthews, President of the South Carolina Women Lawyers Association; Robert Wilcox, University of South Carolina Law School Dean; Alice Paylor, South Carolina Bar Association President-Elect; and Charleston School of Law Professor John Simpkins, who presented his research on the state of judicial diversity in South Carolina. The forum was moderated by Charleston School of Law Professor Constance Anastopoulo. The program was free and open to the public, and free CLEs for South Carolina attorneys were available.
On Law Day, May 1, 2012, the League of Women Voters of Spartanburg County, South Carolina, announced the conclusion of their judicial diversity media competition for area high school students, "PICTURE THIS: The 5 W's of Judicial Diversity — Who? What? When? Where? Why?" "We wanted to give students the chance to learn about the importance of judicial diversity, so we asked them to explore visually the notion that a diverse judiciary is important to South Carolina because it instills in citizens confidence that the courts are fair and impartial," said Linda Bilanchone, chair of the project for the League of Spartanburg County. All entries are available on the contest Facebook page. The winning students were featured in the Spartanburg Herald-Journal (online and print editions) during the week of May 28. Ceremonies were held concurrently at the students' high schools, where they and their principals were presented engraved iPads.Carder Jones, The Scholars Academy/Dorman High School

The finalists for the Strengthening Democracy Power the Vote Award successfully mobilized their grassroots network to promote change in their state or community around priority issues. Leagues showed their commitment to democracy through their voter outreach, education and advocacy.
We received so many excellent applications this year and we want to thank and commend all Leagues for their outstanding and innovative program work. The finalists stood out for their efforts in this award area. Please read about their projects below and use the grid to rank them in order of your favorite project.
Winners will be announced at the 2012 Convention at the Banquet on June 11, 2012.
The LWV of Minnesota has made defeating Voter ID laws their main priority. In 2011 a voter ID bill passed the Legislature and was vetoed by the Governor of Minnesota. The Minnesota Legislature passed a ballot measure to amend the constitution to bypass the veto and this now goes to the citizens of Minnesota to vote on in November. Sixty percent of the population supports the proposal, so the LWV of Minnesota and the 39 local Leagues have been working to educate the public on the real impact of Voter ID. They produced a video to tell the story of voters who would be prevented from voting if this amendment passes titled: "Democracy for All? The Barriers of Voter ID." Watch the Video on their Website.
The Leagues in Minnesota are utilizing various avenues to spread the word, including leading a voting rights coalition that includes more than 50 non-profit organizations that have signed on to the Protect Our Vote Campaign to defeat the amendment and become part of a trained speakers bureau throughout the state. They are using social networking platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to release 2-minute video clips about the project to expand their network, engage new groups in effort and educate the public to defeat the amendment.
The League of Women Voters of Mobile, AL began its Vote 18 project in March 2010. For the past two years they have worked in the inner city schools to provide voter education to youth and with Welfare-to-Work employment readiness programs to reach additional first-time voters. LWV of Mobile held over 100 different sessions and had more than 2,000 people participate in sessions to help with their voter registration form submissions.
The League also created a "Power the Vote" PSA with student input and voices for use in schools. Students participation was key to having peer voices reach other young people in the community to reinforce the message of "Power the Vote". The League actively used Facebook and www.Vote411.org to inform voters and were visible in the media by writing Op-Ed articles for the general public titled "Don't Vote in the Dark". The Vote 18 project and other voter education work has created energy and buzz in the community for the League which has helped increased its membership numbers and grow its leadership ranks. Find additional information on their website.
The League of Women Voters of Texas' project "Promote Texas Voting" works to increase voter participation in the state of Texas; which had the lowest voter turnout of all the states in 2010. The League held seminars in 2011 entitled "Engaging Youth Voters" which included a contest at area High Schools to create a nonpartisan PSA. They also created a comic book that explained Texas voting in English and Spanish for distribution this summer (2012). Leagues in Texas are partnering with organizations such as NAACP, MALDEF, LULAC, youth groups and Texans with Disabilities to increase voting in underrepresented communities. They are providing voter education information through Vote411 and the distribution of Voter Guides in both English and Spanish.
The League has been very active in advocating to protect voter rights through efforts to oppose a photo ID requirements and unfair redistricting maps. They have actively opposed Photo ID requirements at the state legislative levels and experienced an initial victory when the federal Department of Justice refused to pre-clear this requirement. They have also been involved in redistricting litigation and have seen court ordered interim maps including some positive changes. Find additional information on their website.
The LWV of South Carolina's "Save All Votes" voter campaign was kicked off in the spring of 2009 and continues successfully serve South Carolinians whose voting rights are at risk from legislative attempts to enact barriers to voting. The League is focusing on those who are elderly, low-income, disabled, minorities, immigrants and students. LWV of South Carolina has created and organized a partnership of non-profit organizations and community groups whose constituencies include these populations. The partnership's diverse make-up has enabled a greater outreach effort. They have a very high participation level among SC local Leagues, coalition partners and community groups.
The League is partnering with other organizations to reach a high level of attention to the issues. They have been conducting Statehouse press conferences, writing op-eds and letters to the editor in addition to interviews on radio and TV talk shows. The groups are distributing informational documents and using social media like Facebook to inform and mobilize the public. The League has been averaging one invitation a week from diverse civic groups to attend their meetings and speak on voting rights. Find additional information on their website.
Mary Wilson is a member of the LWV of Central New Mexico.

How many international airports are close enough for you to fly out of? Vote in our poll!
How many international airports are close enough for you to fly out of? Vote in our poll!
Sarah Schlichter
Senior Editor
Independent Traveler
Lots, really, although some just cover certain countries, and others do the long treks. If I want to fly to the US, I'd use Manchester or Glasgow, but certain US routes are from London only, so I'd have to decide whether to spend 5 hours going there, or make the change required from a Manchester flight.
The nearest airport is Newcastle, (we're a bit remote these days!), but that's mainly for Europe or Egypt, places like that with short-ish flights; there's other smaller ones which just do local flights, or to Amsterdam, which is one of the hubs, ditto Zurich, Munich etc.
When we flew to Hawaii, it was a choice whether to go by train and spend a night in London, before a morning flight to San Fran; or morning flight from the local Leeds/Bradford, where we lived, to Amsterdam, then change to San Fran. We should have done the latter, as both aeroplanes landed within 5 mins of each other, and we'd have saved an expensive night in a Heathrow Airport hotel....
Technically I have three or more, though realistically I have one that I strongly prefer (Philly). I just tried Newark for the first time and it went okay, but it was expensive and not as convenient to get there.

Happy New Year! Welcome to CTE Connections! This will be a bi-monthly update from the CTE Center. We want to keep you posted on legislative news, current events, valuable research studies, resource materials, and, of course, alert you to our own products, resources, and services as they become available. For past postings, please see our archives page.
Leeward Community College graduated its first class of the Process Technology Program. The 18 month program, offered through Leeward CC's Office of Continuing Education and Workforce Development, offers specialized classes in Process Technology. Process Technology is a career for students seeking a high-tech job in fields such , pulp and paper manufacturing, and water treatment. Hawai'i's process technology industries are having a difficult time finding qualified applicants, while the numbers of available jobs are expected to increase as current aging workforce begins to retire.
The Star Bulletin (1/5, Thompson) reported that Pahoa High and Intermediate school food service and nutrition teacher Suzanne Nozaki was one of 30 first-prize winners nationwide in the Samsung Hope for Education Contest! Thanks to Nozaki's essay on how many old gadgets "have a second life", the schools will receive $60,000 in technology devices. Kudos to Ms. Suzanne Nozaki for her outstanding work!

National Conversation on CTE
Tough Choices or Tough Times, the report of the new commission on the skills of the American Workforce is an eye-opening report that educators, policymakers, businesspeople, job seekers and citizens who want America to be prosperous and competitive in the 21st century should read. Excerpts from the Executive Summary:
"The first Commission never dreamed that we would end up competing with countries that could offer large numbers of highly educated workers willing to work for low wages. But China and India are doing exactly that. Indeed, it turns out that China and India are only the tip of the iceberg. Whereas for most of the 20th century in the United States could take pride in having the best-educated workforce in the world, that is no longer true. Over the past 30 years, one country after another has surpassed us in the proportion of their entering workforce with the equivalent of a high school diploma, and many are on the verge of doing so. Thirty years ago, the United States could lay claim to having 30 percent of the world's college students. Today that proportion has fallen to 14 percent and is continuing to fall."
The Senate confirmed former Chicago schools chief Arne Duncan as U.S. Secretary of Education yesterday. The confirmation isn't a surprise, given the warm reception Duncan got from the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee. But, now that Duncan is officially in place, we may start hearing about some of the other positions in the Department of Education. Mr. Duncan is the former chief executive officer of Chicago's public school system. During his seven years as the leader of the 408,000-student school system Mr. Duncan has aggressively pushed for more charter schools and new ways to recruit and prepare teachers. Mr. Duncan will confront a host of challenges at the Department of Education including reauthorizing NCLB as well as keeping student loans flowing.
The Dallas Morning News (1/5, Unmuth) reported, "Thousands of teachers are sharing videos on a website called Teacher Tube, started in March 2007 by Jason Smith, 39, the superintendent of Melissa ISD in rural Collin County, and his brother Adam, 29, an engineer." The website "now has about 220,000 regular users, more than 54,000 videos and is averaging about 800,000 visitors to the site every month." Adam Smith noted that "videos that incorporate songs, visual aids, and math and science tend to be popular on the site." According to the Morning News, "teachers from across the country are sharing instructional videos for kids, raps and jokes on the website often shown at teacher training sessions," and "many teachers use the videos in class." The article noted the mechanics of the site, and added that "teacher Tube is just one example of how technology, and particularly social networking websites, are changing education. Other sites include School Tube, which is aimed more at kids producing videos, and Curriki, where teachers share lesson plans."
