Editorial Note: Although every effort has been made to insure the accuracy of the material in this presentation, the scope of the material covered and the discussions undertaken lends itself to the possibility of minor transcription misinterpretations.
Chairman Philibosian introduced Ms. McCormack and welcomed her to the Commission.
Record Breaking Numbers
Ms. McCormack reported to the Commission the record breaking numbers of voters in the most recent election which resulted in a 79% voter turn-out, whereas the statewide turnout was 75%. This is particularly noteworthy since the county usually has a 4% lower turnout than the state. Over 3,085,000 people in the county voted in the election which created a dynamic the Registrars Office had not been seen before. In this election 701,000 people voted early, 635,000 through mail, and 65,000 by touch screen. This left 2.3 million people that had to all vote on the same day. In a normal election the Registrars Office usually receives about 300 complaint letters, but this year they only received 25 letters. This demonstrates that problems were minimal.
Some other record numbers included the activity volume on the website, which on election-day had 191,000 people visit with 5,999,000 overall hits. These numbers beat the amount of hits on the sex offender site. On election-day the office received 90, 675 phone calls of which 90% were answered by individuals combined with automated response. Ms. McCormack commented that she had implemented a 15 second rule because calls were averaging approximately 2 minutes. This policy helped the call center volume and the average fell to 30 seconds a call. In addition, 4,118 County employees spent 13 hours working the polls, where normally no more than 2,500 employees were involved. The norm for college students working is 300, this year there were 3,120. For high school students working the polls the norm is 2000, this year 4,333. All in all, 30,000 people worked the polls as opposed to 25,000 workers in previous years.
Provisional Ballot
Since the gubernatorial recall, people got used to the vote anywhere rule, not voting in their precinct. If individuals go to other than their precinct they vote by provisional ballot. The Registrars Office must then check to see if they are registered, what precinct, and if they have already voted. This causes long lines and problems at several polls. The Recorders Office contributed 350 people working nights and weekends, including overtime. Tasks included examining 204,000 provisional ballots, recording 446,000 new voter registrations in the month before the election, and duplicating 37,000 provisional ballots. An average provisional ballot takes about 30 minutes to process which is equivalent to approximately 100,000 man hours.
Ink A Vote
As the first change in voting in 35 years 1.7 million voters were introduced to Ink A Vote during this years election. To aid in the transition an advertising campaign was launched introducing Got Dots, the Dalmatian mascot for Ink A Vote. Got Dots ran in all the papers as full page ads, on the radio and in television commercials. This was a $1.3 million advertising campaign, that didnt cost the county since the funds came from the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). Although the grant wasnt offered until August of this year the office was abler to present a proposal, received the grant, administer the grant and put the program on in time for the election.
Residual Vote
Another campaign called 3 Choices No Excuses, which also used HAVA monies, gave voters 3 ways to vote. The options were to vote early by touch screen (65,000 people voted), by mail (635,000 people voted) or at the polls (2.3 million). Since the year 2000, academics created a measurement in an effort to assist in the voting process. They created artificial criteria for judging the voting system by reasoning that if someone did not vote, it must have been because of a hanging chad or because they didnt know how to use Ink A Vote, not that they just didnt vote. This can result in a residual vote if the voter doesnt vote for a candidate at the top of the ticket. Under this circumstance the academic may say that it looks like system error and the vote was stolen. The Registrars Office knew they would be measured on the Ink A Vote system. The academics decided that a residual of over 3% was bad (during the November 2000 election the residual vote was 2.7% with use of the punch card). Thanks to the available information and the ad campaign, the Ink a Vote System produced a residual vote below 2%.
All in all, the Registrars Office was relieved that they managed to certify the election on time. The Recorders Office is bringing in money to the County through fees from property documents. This year the number of real estate docs recorded was 3 million similar to last 2 busy years. Additionally, new birth, death and marriage systems will be implemented next year.
Commissioner Questions
Commissioner Barcelona asked how the Office responded to critics who complain about the lack of a paper trail in electronic voting? Ms. McCormack explained that issue has been discussed for about 18 months and will continue to be a concern. The California Secretary of State has mandated the use of paper trails for electronic voting. In 2002 when the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) voting passed, it looked optimistic to expect to have new voting systems in place by 2006, but now with the insertion of the major dynamic that is going on in electronic voting will cause timing problems in California. Thirty percent of the country voted using electronic systems this year without paper trails and it went very well. California has yet to certify systems that meet existing criteria since there are only prototypes; therefore, no systems are available to be implemented before the January 1, 2006 deadlines. Standards are to be issued in July by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Ms. McCormack commented that she welcomes their participation because they are not political, but rather technically based. The standards should help, but the voting system needs to be in place by January 1, 2006 and this doesnt include procurement, installation, or training time. Ms. McCormack suggested that the LA Times publish an article explaining that the artificial deadline should be moved 2 years to enable the use of onetime HAVA funds. Also, a recent Field Poll identified that 35% of voters reporting that they dont trust electronic voting. Ms. McCormack informed the Commission that she hopes to retain Ink a Vote for the next 2 years and wait for the technology to evolve before the county spends $110 million on a new electronic system.
Chairman Philibosian asked if the Registrars Association is trying to do something statewide using the print media? Ms. McCormack replied that they are. She explained that statewide association will be in Sacramento next week to discuss the issue of dilemmas facing the counties. Chairman Philibosian asked what can be done concerning provisional ballots, from a legislative stand point, to reduce the number of people voting out of their precinct? Ms. McCormack explained that the California Legislature wanted to help voters, but this effort resulted in the unintended consequences of people voting outside of their precinct and even their county. Ms. McCormack doesnt think it will change and agrees that maybe it shouldnt, but thinks policies and procedures should be in place to document what happens when the Registrars Office has to count these resulting provisional ballots.
Commissioner Tortorice asked how the Registrars Office is addressing issues of identity theft, considering the new public access to government records? Ms. McCormack explained that the voter file is an open document available to the public (e.g. political campaigns) and to the media. For example, California was one of the few states that someone could walk in and ask for a birth certificate and get one. When SB-247 passed it stated that a family member or the individual can apply for a birth certificate with proper identification. This is important considering that birth certificates are in high demand across the border. The Recorders Office now has to undertake research to validate the individual prior to issuing any documents, which causes problems. There are processes set in place, but people are torn between wanting access to information and also wanting privacy.
Commissioner Padilla asked about the status of Prop 72? Ms. McCormack replied that the passage of Proposition 72, mandatory health insurance, was a story resulting from erroneous information derived from the Secretary of States website. The Registrars Office certified the results and Proposition 72 did not pass. Commissioner Padilla asked about the process that voting equipment must go through to gain approval? Ms. McCormack replied that voting equipment go though two levels of approval - the federal process and state certification process. This process will be improved with the involvement of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Commissioner Padilla asked about the criteria of demanding a recount and what is the situation in Ohio? Ms. McCormack explained that once the election is certified anyone can request a recount of an election if they are willing to pay the cost. Two parties in Ohio asked for a recount but it shouldnt change the outcome.
Commissioner Hill asked how many elections are conducted in the county in one year? Ms. McCormack replied by stating that 220 elections are held. Commissioner Hill informed the Commission that Ms. McCormack was presented with the Chairs Leadership award at the Quality and Productivity Commission luncheon in October 2004. Ms. McCormack thanked Commissioner Hill and said that the award came at a good time and was appreciated.
Chairman Philibosian asked Ms. McCormack if there was anything that the Economy & Efficiency Commission could do to assist her? Ms. McCormack replied positively. The EEC can help the Registrars Office with change management, e.g. succession planning. Ms. McCormack said that she would be glad to put together a bulleted list of items that are posing problems and suggested that the Commission could help. Chairman Philibosian asked the Organization and Accountability Task Force to investigate what can be done to assist the Registrars Office.
Chairman Philibosian thanked Ms. McCormack for taking time out of her busy schedule to make an informative and valuable presentation to the Commission.

Dr. Scott Morris: Tigers coach Pastner responds to crunch time with love
My father once heard legendary football coach Bear Bryant say, "At the end of the year, the only thing people remember is how many games you won and how many you lost."
I'm not sure I agree, because I have already cemented in my mind what I will remember most about this year's University of Memphis basketball season. It happened in last month's game against the University of Louisville.
By the middle of the second half, the game was on the line. In a tense moment, coach Josh Pastner was talking to his struggling star freshman player, Adonis Thomas. Pastner had agreed to wear a microphone so a national audience could listen in to what he said. He looked his young player in the eye and said, "I love you."
Pastner did not curse out Thomas for missing a vital rebound. He did not threaten to sit his rear end on the bench. He did not tell him what a thousand other coaches have said to players in the same situation. He said, "I love you." On that day, Thomas did not go on to play a terrific game. In fact, the team lost focus at the end and lost by eight points. But Pastner's words remained remarkable.
All too often, we deal with the stress of life in ways that are not helpful. We become angry. We blame others. We look for excuses. Rarely do we turn to the person we are coaching, mentoring or working with and say, "I love you."
But this is the nature of how Pastner interacts with his players, and everyone else. His first response to stress is to be kind and compassionate and then to offer constructive instruction. I know many of you think the Tigers' woes would be resolved if he were more harsh and tough on his players, but to what end? Do we really want victory if the cost is having the coach cursing and humiliating players?
I am no more a basketball critic than the average fan, so I am not offering advice on how to win more games. But I do believe that Pastner's approach to stressful situations is worth adopting for the New Year. If we could decide to greet the stress of the moment with a positive attitude -- yes, even with love -- then I think good things would be more likely to happen. Offering kindness is always a healthier way to deal with others. Living a healthy life has as much to do with how you handle stress as it does dealing with a specific disease.
My New Year's wish is that you condition yourself to deal with the stress of life the way Pastner does in a game. Responding with kindness can help hold at bay the health consequences that come from anger and despair. And, no, it doesn't mean you will win in every situation. But you will be more likely to end the day understanding what truly matters and making healthier choices.
Whether or not the Tigers turn their season around and make a deep run in the NCAA tournament, what I will remember most is what Pastner said that day in Louisville.

One of the two men arrested following a four-hour standoff with sheriff's deputies Tuesday was released from jail a few hours after tactical unit officers pulled him from a hiding place in the attic of a mixed-use building in a normally-quiet Watsonville neighborhood.
Andrew Rodriguez Casillas, 27, of Watsonville was a suspect in a home burglary earlier in the month where a gun was stolen, sheriff's deputies have said.
Casillas, who deputies also had listed a last name of "Castillas" for, was booked into County Jail on suspicion of receiving stolen property and resisting arrest. His bail was set at $2,000 and he was released after being booked around 7:30 p.m., according to jail records.
The other man found hiding in the building at 200 Prospect St., Dominic Jerome Mower, 37, of Aptos, remained behind bars Wednesday, jail records showed. He was wanted on warrants for petty theft and driving on a suspended license, and also was on probation. Jail records show his probation was revoked when he was arrested Tuesday.
The police standoff shut down the neighborhood for much of Tuesday afternoon, as members of the Sheriff's Office SWAT team surrounded the house after Casillas and Mower refused them entry into the building. Nearby homes were evacuated and snipers took up positions on the roof of a nearby church because deputies believed the men holed up inside the building could be armed.
No weapons were found at the property, according to sheriff's deputy April Skalland.
"They did not find the gun there, but they're continuing the investigation," Skalland said.
Skalland said the massive police response was, in part, because the first deputies at the scene saw motion-activated surveillance cameras tracking their movements outside the building and were concerned about the possibility of firearms inside.
At one point, the tactical unit officers cut power to the building to eliminate the cameras before raiding the building, Skalland explained.

(January 14, 1841 - June 18, 1897)
Juliet Corson worked as a librarian and later wrote for the New York Leader and the National Quarterly Review.
In 1873, she started working as secretary for a Women's school, and soon started cooking classes with a trained chef to demonstrate techniques. This led her to start the New York Cooking School in 1876, and to write a 'Cooking Manual' in 1877 and 'Twenty-five Cent Dinners for Families of Six' (1878).
During the coming years lectured, and wrote many pamphlets, articles and additional books on cooking, including 'Miss Corson's Practical American Cookery' (1886). She ran the New York State Cooking School exhibit at the 1893 'World Columbian Exposition' in Chicago.

My passing offense metric, updated with last week's results. See below an explanation of the statistical details: It's the same text I've posted in previous weeks. The only difference is the minimum cutoff for making the list is 90 pass attempts.
The list continues to pack in tighter towards the historical mean value of 0.35, although the cream is clearly rising to the top. Romo's game vaulted him past not only McNabb, but also Favre into fifth place. Good call by Terry on that one. I was genuinely concerned, based on the history and recent trends, that the Eagles defense would give Romo problems, but I am happy to admit I was wrong. The offensive line gave Romo time, and when blitzes came, Romo was able to ad lib for big gains (the two screen passes in the flat to Barber, the quick pass to Owens for the TD). When an offense can hold up against stunts and blitzes, and when the QB can recognize, react and get the ball to skill players while in stride, blitzes start to become a major liability, and we saw Jim Johnson's defense get embarrassed as a result. And contrary to the historical predictions, Romo continues to improve over last year's performance. I don't doubt in a few years that people will say Jerry Jones was able to sign him at a bargain price.
After week four, Drew Brees was an atrocious 0.12. After last week's rout against Jacksonville, he's moved above the league average. Not to pat myself on the back too much, but I predicted that several weeks ago.
Also, Delhomme dropped out of the top ten from last week, as he no longer has enough attempts to qualify.
I can't wait for this week's game against the Giants. Anybody else noticed how mediocre Eli Manning's number is? And the fact that we'll have a much healthier defense more familiar with the system this time around? That, coupled with the fact the Giants have gone 0-3 during week nine under Coughlin, is why I'm feeling so good about this game. His teams have always gotten off to fast starts, then faded down the stretch. It's happened like clockwork the last three years, and the fade usually starts in week nine. The Cowboys have had trouble in the Meadowlands in the past, but can the Giants beat the Cowboys to win their seventh straight game, the way Dallas is playing right now? If we avoid turnovers, it's pretty clear to me the answer is 'no'.
Is it Sunday yet?
Here's the intro I've posted on previous weeks:
I've been using a passing offense metric for many years now to gauge how well a QB is doing. Inspired by baseball SABRmetrician Bill James, I performed linear regressions of NFL statistics and concluded from a big picture point of view, only two statistics mattered: Yards gained from scrimmage, and turnovers. The best fit to matching points scored came when assuming the following coefficients:
Ten yards gained from scrimmage = +1.0 points; and
One turnover lost = -6.0 points.
Simply put, teams that score points rack up yardage and don't commit turnovers. Note how powerful turnovers are: A team can, for example, gain 55 yards of offense, but if they turn it over the next play, they actually ended up hurting their team.
With that in mind, I created the points per pass metric, which calculates the effectiveness of quarterbacks. The above two coefficients are used to determine, on average, how many points a quarterback (and his offensive teammates, since everyone else contributes to his success or failure) creates with each passing attempt. It takes the simple yards per attempt metric we're all familiar with, adjusts it for sacks, and further adjusts it for turnovers. One interception equates to minus six points; one fumble equates to minus three points. I treat fumbles as half a turnover, since there's essentially a 50/50 chance of recovering or losing a fumble. The results will probably be unsurprising for the most part, but sometimes they can appear odd. One of the things that may cause these oddities are fumbles. Most people, when looking over a QB's stat line, don't think about fumbles; they just look at yardage, attempts, touchdowns, interceptions, and maybe sacks. But fumbles are very important, since they are essentially half a turnover.

Posted on September 23rd, 2010 | Filed under Episode 109 « Sara's Weeknight Meals Season 1
Makes 4 servings
Canned salmon has come a long way in terms of quality, and when combined with chiles, crushed tortilla chips, and cumin, moistened with mayonnaise, and topped with corn salsa you almost wouldn't know that it was canned. I have long been a fan of frozen corn, at least when fresh was out of season. As soon as you pick corn, its sugar begins to turn to starch and it is not as tasty. (The same goes for peas.) Frozen corn (and peas) is picked when ripe and then immediately blanched and frozen at the height of its tastiness, which is why it is a good idea to keep a stash in the freezer for the off season. One could argue that you should never eat vegetables out of season, but when you have a son who eats only about five vegetables, you can't be all that seasonal.
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium skillet over high heat until hot. Reduce the heat to medium; add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer the onion to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon; set the skillet aside.
Add the salmon, chiles, tortilla chips, mayonnaise, and cumin to the onion in the bowl and stir until combined. Form the mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick cakes. Coat the cakes lightly in flour on all sides. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet and heat over high heat until hot; reduce the heat to medium and add the salmon cakes. Saut� until well browned on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, cook the corn in water following package directions. Drain well and return to the saucepan. Add the salsa and heat just until hot. Serve the salmon cakes topped with corn salsa.

Yes that was a blatant rip-off. I do not participate in the predictions with wins/losses and scores as I do not want to jinx the team. I do like to try to predict the path that the front office will take from time to time and this seems like a good time to try to sort out the next move of Jedi Master Morey.
Unless you live under a rock you are aware that our starting center from last year is not happy with the bench duty he is currently called upon to do. After a brief tantrum which brought the situation national attention, he has returned to the fold and is performing quite well in his relief capacity.
Despite Asik's return to the fold, it is painfully obvious that he believes he can and should start for someone. Who is the problem. One part of that equation has become a lot less difficult since T Jones has been starting. Per twitter
If Jones keeps it up, Morey can make best Asik deal he can find, regardless of position. Prob would've anyway, but can feel better about it.— Jonathan Feigen (@Jonathan_Feigen) November 24, 2013
If this holds true, Morey will most likely take the best deal he can get for Asik. My thoughts on what qualifiers will be in play are, in no set order. Morey does try to find good situations for players that have helped the team. I think Omer fits that bill nicely so a stint with the Siberian National Team is not likely in his future. We are in "win now mode", so upside and potential will not get a lot of traction here. Smith, DMO, and others have shown some ability at the 5 and Camby may return to serviceable status and as he is doing his rehab at our facility we will be the first to know.
Keeping all this in mind, here is the challenge. Predict what we will get for Omer. Players and or picks and be specific. Don't include picks that teams do not have. Also please check to see if a trade will work. No need to post the trade machine result as that often does not work, but at least plug in the players to see if it will fly. No reward apart from bragging rights which will be pretty substantial considering I can't remember many folks around here guessing a Morey deal before. At least this time you should have the first part of the puzzle.

The widow of Jose Trejo sued a Depot District business late Monday afternoon.
Jennifer Trejo claims that The Library, 1701 Texas Avenue, served her husband alcohol even after he was intoxicated back in July. The lawsuit claims that the Trejo's were then involved in a motorcycle crash that led to Mr. Trejo's death.
"The collision was caused by Jose's highly intoxicated state that rendered him unable to control his rate of speed or properly maneuver his vehicle."
Jennifer Trejo was also injured in the crash but she recovered.
The lawsuit says The Library is guilty of "gross negligence, malice, and callous disregard" for serving alcohol to Jose Trejo even after he was obviously intoxicated.
The lawsuit seeks an unspecified amount of money. A manager for the business was not available for comment early Tuesday evening.

Kick in the pantsPosted by: | Comments
Sometimes people just need a kick in the pants. My friend Lauren's husband started his own successful law firm 5 years ago. How long was he wanting to pursue that dream? 7 years. It took his law firm dissolving in order to get him to step out on his own. Now I'm not saying he never would've ventured out….he probably would have. But some people never would, and some of us just need a push to pursue our dream, because let's be honest, it can be scary!
I needed that push years ago to start my coaching practice, I'll admit it. I was comfy in a part-time job that paid my bills, coaching on the side and I was enjoying the dual income. I got comfortable and it took one of my career coaching friends reminding me I'd given myself a 2 year timeline to go out on my own. It was getting close to that time and I hadn't yet made a move. She poked me, and I did, I gave my notice several weeks later. So do you just need a kick in the pants??? Here it is… Check out this video about how you should stop thinking about or planning your career change, and start talking to people about it to make it happen.
Quit planning-Start talkingPosted by: | Comments
I received this email from a prospective client, Joe, last week. I was thrilled to get it and see how he's working towards his dream job. It sounds like he is very close to landing it!
I hope this e-mail finds you well and enjoying 2011. I just happened to be reading an article to which you contributed and wanted to say hello.
I can't imagine you remember our conversations very well (this goes back about 3 or 4 years) but since talking with you I pursued a career in management consulting and ended up back at school. I'll graduate from Notre Dame in May with an MBA, and recently accepted a job – starting this summer – at restructuring firm Alvarez and Marsal. I do believe our conversations helped me realize that the sky really is the limit on my career and that talking with people is the best way to realize all the options.
Anyway, I've enjoyed your e-mails over the last few years and am happy to see you living your dreams. You've inspired many people through your work, myself included, and I hope you continue to!
Warm regards,
Joe Rollin
The funny thing is, we never actually coached together. We did a consultation in 2008 and both decided he knew what he needed to do to make his transition. He just needed to get out there and make it happen! This is a good lesson for a lot of us - just get started! I encouraged Joe to just go for it. It looks like he did….
The lesson here, which I re-iterated to my coaching group this week, is:
Talking to people is critical to your success in making your career change. Talk to people to learn more about your chosen industry (informational interviews). Or if you haven't chosen an industry, talk to them about industries you're considering, but haven't decided on yet! I did a ton of informational interviews with coaches when I was considering being a coach. Informational interviews can help you learn how you get into that industry
Brainstorm with friends and family about possible careers for you. Create what I call a dream team of support for your career transition. Choose people who will support you during your journey.
These are all critical ways to make your transition successful!

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater!Posted by: | Comments
I was thrilled to be featured in this article on CNN last week, Trading a six-figure salary to become a teacher. Jon Fitch's story is inspirational, but as we all know, it's not applicable to everyone. Not everyone can afford to make a dramatic career change like he did, but that doesn't have to stop you from finding your dream job.
Two important points to keep in mind:
1) Remember doing what he did and having enough savings to live off of is only one of MANY ways to realize your dream career. Read further in the article and you'll see that I made my dream a reality by having a bridge job – a job that paid my bills while I was working towards becoming a career coach.
2) Jon's career change is dramatic. He's taking a much lower paying job, in a different industry, in a time when the economy is tough. What I find, fortunately, is that most career changes don't have to be this dramatic. What happens to us is we become so frustrated by our current jobs, and sometimes we are so unhappy, that it feels like we need to throw the baby out with the bathwater. This is not the case. With my clients, 7 times out of 10, they don't make a change into a career that is completely different from their current career.
I was talking to a group coaching client, Jenny, about it this week. She desperately wants to make a change, but it's primarily because of her boss and the culture of her company, not because of her industry. Jenny's right career fit we're thinking, is actually something she's done in the past, and similar to what she's doing now but in a much smaller organization. It's a slight course correction, not a dramatic change.
Your transition may seem bigger than it actually is, just because you're so frustrated. Take a step back, a deep breath, and re-assess how dramatic your change really needs to be to make you happy!

Are you the obstacle to a career you love?Posted by: | Comments
I was speaking with a coaching group client this week and he was saying how his confidence has always affected his job search. It's been his biggest obstacle to finding his dream job. He doesn't feel like he had anything to offer an employer, much less try to make a move into a different industry.
This is very common and I see it all the time with career coaching clients. They allow their fears, negative self-image, and lack of confidence to get in their way of making a career change.
These obstacles can stand in your way of taking a step towards the career AND life that you want. The first step is awareness. You have to know what you're dealing with in order to face it!
Take some time in the next few days to sit down and identify your obstacles. What obstacles get in the way of you making a career change?
"Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them." ~Orison Swett Marden

Set boundaries in your career transitionPosted by: | Comments
Life can get a little crazy when change is happening all around us. If you've still got one foot in your former professional role and the other foot has stepped into the future, you may feel unsure of whether you're coming or going!
This is natural, especially in times of career transition. The trick is to set boundaries for yourself as a way to curb the feelings of overwhelm. One boundary could be, turning off some of the channels of information overflow. For example, if you've signed up for new career membership associations or email newsletters, you could create a special email address for this purpose alone. This way, personal pursuits can be kept separate from your daily responsibilities, helping you to feel less distracted and stressed.
Time can be another boundary that keeps anxiety at bay. For instance, you can make a commitment to not to think about anything career-related after 8 p.m., instead reserving another time slot for this purpose. Your commitment could be, "I will work on my career transition from 5:30-7:30 at least twice a week."
By setting and maintaining boundaries between your career goals, everyday responsibilities, and leisure pursuits, you will feel more in-control of your life, balanced and at peace with yourself and the process.

Career Transition Tips for SuccessPosted by: | Comments
Not happy in your current job? Thinking about making a career change? Dynamic lifestyles and an uncertain economy are just two of many reasons to consider a new occupation, or even an entirely different field than the one you're in now.
Maybe you've seen some layoffs at your company and "the fear factor" has you searching for alternate options and wanting more satisfaction out of your work. Perhaps you crave a more flexible work situation, one that allows you to balance home and career more effectively. Whatever your circumstance, one thing's for sure: you're unhappy or unsettled in your current job and you want to do something about it.
When you start to get the itch, it's time to make an assessment and begin to set early goals. You may wonder, am I really ready for a career transition? How can I best prepare myself for a change? But even before you delve into the components of a satisfying career, it helps immensely to cultivate a healthy and positive mental outlook. People who are successful at making a change are the ones who are willing to overcome their fears, doubts and insecurities in order to make it happen. You, too, can be one of these people…
Keep these preliminary tips in mind before forging ahead on your path to a more fulfilling and rewarding career!
1. Commit yourself to making a change. Something that is incredibly important to any change you make in your life is your level of commitment. You have to be committed. How committed are you to finding a career that fits, on a scale from 1-10? If it's not at a 10, what do you need to do to move it up the scale? The time to ask yourself key questions is now. Do your research, so you know what questions to keep in mind. Explore career websites. Take personality tests.
2. Learn to overcome obstacles. To be successful in changing career paths, you need to learn to overcome obstacles you will encounter along the way. The obstacles I see time and time again for people wanting to make a career change are: not knowing what to look for in a job (so they take one that is "good enough" that they don't truly enjoy) and negative beliefs–not believing they can successfully make the change.
3. Get support. I was able to very successfully make my career transition into coaching in large part because of my own coach. She helped me create my plan, remain positive, move forward, identify what I wanted to do and learn to overcome obstacles.
4. Claim your life. My last thought for you… is to claim your life. There never is a perfect time to make a drastic career change, and you can always come up with excuses/reasons not to. You do need to take some kind of risk and perhaps step out of your comfort zone. The key is to minimize the risk and be smart about it.

A recurring theme this spring, Howard County's girls tennis squads have, for the most part, been in a holding pattern, waiting for the weather to turn so they can get outside and shake off the rust that comes with winter time in Indiana.
With snow up until the end of March, followed by spring break and then a forecast chock full of rain, the first matches of the season will double as preseason practice in many respects.
Four of the five county schools return the bulk of their varsity rosters from a season ago, a season which saw Eastern claim a sectional title.
The following are season outlooks for each school in order of season record from last season.
The Comets boasted a 16-7 record a season ago, claiming their second sectional crown in a row and third in the last four seasons.
With five of his seven varsity players returning, coach Pat Rice is cautiously optimistic his squad can continue its winning ways.
"The weather hasn't been great, but we know we're not alone," Rice said. "Everyone is dealing with the same thing. The nice thing for us is that more girls worked all winter in the tennis center than we've had in the past. The toughest thing right now is getting challenge matches in. We're still trying to figure out lineups."
In singles play, all three return with varsity experience, led by sophomore Courtney Clark, who will hold down the No. 1 spot. Junior Riley Kanable will do battle at No. 2 singles and classmate Claire Holkenbrink is in the No. 3 singles slot.
Senior MaKayla Sargent and junior Marie Holkenbrink are penciled in right now at No. 1 doubles, while varsity newcomers, junior Rachel Manfred and sophomore Marissa Evenson, are preliminarily penciled in at No. 2 doubles.
Czech exchange student Nela Koziskova and sophomore Megan Dean also have a chance to crack the varsity lineup at some point.
"I definitely think our girls are hungry to win the sectional again, and that's been evident in their work ethic," Rice said. "They've worked really hard. We didn't start off great in our first match [a 3-2 loss to Cass Tuesday], but we'll get better as the season goes. We don't want to peak in April, we want to peak in May like last year."
After a 9-9 campaign in 2012, Purple Tigers coach Kristine Miller will have the task of replacing five seniors who all played varsity tennis at some point last season. Miller does return four athletes with varsity experience, however.
"From a coaching standpoint I think that we've handled it as well as we could've," Miller said of the preseason weather. "It's been difficult in terms of playing outside only a handful of times before our first match. With eight freshmen learning the ropes of the game, bad weather has made that more difficult. But, our attitudes have been good, and we've done as much indoors as we could. We're just ready to get started."
Junior Emily Harshman played No. 2 singles last season and will step into the No. 1 role this time around. Sophomore Alexis Hungate spent time at No. 3 singles and No. 2 doubles as a freshman and will hold down the No. 2 singles spot to start the season.
Freshman Georgia Williamson spent time at the indoor tennis center in Greentown fine-tuning her game and appears ready for the rigors of the varsity game. She'll begin the season at No. 3 singles.
Junior Madison Wells and sophomore sister Sydney Wells will make up the No. 1 doubles team. Both saw some varsity action a season ago.
At No. 2 doubles, junior Erica Plutat and sophomore Gabriella Matly will take to the court. Sophomores Megan Floyd and Kady Whitehead also have a chance to see varsity court time in the early going.
"My team has shown nothing but hard work and good attitudes, but I don't know what that will [mean heading] into this season," Miller said. "We're a young team focused on improving and being technically sound and competing to the best of our ability. If we go out and surprise anybody it'd be icing on the cake."
The Panthers went 7-8 last season but have already given new coach Amy Messer the first win of her career with a 3-2 victory over Frankfort on Tuesday.
Messer, who played collegiately at Grace College, will have the task of replacing an outgoing class that included No. 1 singles player Nicole Rogers, who now plays basketball at IUPUI.
"It definitely has its challenges, but I have a really good group of girls this year and a nice base to start things off with," Messer said. "The weather has affected us a lot. We were only able to practice outside four times before our first match, and when we were able to go outside it was very windy and very hard conditions to play in."
Senior Allison Lindley, a University of Iowa golf recruit, is back out for tennis for the first time since her freshman year. She has shown little rust, so much so that she will take over the No. 1 singles position.
Senior Natalie Warrum is a varsity returner and will take the No. 2 singles spot, and sophomore varsity new comer Bailey Harbaugh is slated to start the season in the No. 3 singles slot.
Junior Molly Shoffner and sophomore Cora Jackson appear to have the upper hand on making up the No. 1 doubles team, while senior Victoria White and sophomores Jessica Hopkins and Allie Ault are all in the running to claim a spot on the No. 2 doubles team.
"I think we have a lot of potential, especially with Allison back as strong as she is. She is a good solid No. 1 spot to have," Messer said. "Our doubles will be a challenge and we're looking for a lot of development there, but we'll be very strong in singles play. I think we have a good future ahead of us."
Fresh off an 8-10 campaign and a sectional runner-up finish, the Wildkats will welcome in their third new coach in four years in Natalie Raney.
Raney is a 2001 KHS grad with a decorated tennis career. She made a trip to the individual state finals as a sophomore member of the No. 1 doubles team. The Kats won the North Central Conference in her junior season, then made a deep tournament run to the semistate her senior year.
Raney returns five players with varsity experience.
"It's exciting. I have a great group of girls," Raney said of coaching the program she used to play in. "They're very coachable, but unfortunately, they're on their third coach in four years, so there's been an adjustment period, especially for the seniors. They are on their third coach since they were freshmen. I'm excited for this group of girls, and we're hoping to improve upon where we were last year."
Senior Morgan Mohr returns for her third season at No. 1 singles.
Sophomore Amanda Tran saw time at No. 3 singles a season ago, and after a steep offseason improvement, will step into the No. 2 position.
Freshman Rachel Stout appears to have the upper hand at the No. 3 singles spot, a "real surprise and added bonus to the team," according to Raney.
Doubles tandems are still up in the air due to lack of practice time, but senior Brooke Grider and junior Stephanie Kailey will likely begin the season at No. 1 doubles, while senior Riley Vyain and AnneMarie Balsbaugh appear to be the front runners for the No. 2 duo.
"I think the season will tell, but anything can happen," Raney said. "It's going to be a rebuilding and learning season. I'm learning from them as much as they're learning from me. Our main goal is to improve on last year's end result. We all have an eye on the sectional title. We lost it last year to Eastern and getting it back is our main goal. The girls have a lot of potential and just have to work every day and keep improving. I hope the weather gets better so we're able to do that."
Coach Dave Wise has 13 players out for the spring, 10 of which have little to no experience on the court.
Wise's singles lineup will feature three varsity veterans, however, as the Titans look to improve upon last season's 3-11 campaign.
"As inexperienced as we are, the weather really hasn't helped," Wise said. "I feel like I've had two practices. We're either in the gym hitting on the wall or we've had short practices outside where it's been cold and windy. If you have a lot of experience it doesn't make much difference, but when six of your 13 have never played before — we need a lot of court time."
Senior Logan Kimbler returns at No. 1 singles for the Titans. Wise is hoping for a successful season out of her.
"Playing No. 1 singles is tough, especially if you only get to do it for one year," Wise said. "She gets another chance at it so we're looking forward to this year. In her 17 matches last year, Logan faced 13 seniors, and that'll be a good thing for her now that she's the senior with experience coming back."
Juniors Maria Owens and Jessica Fox made up the No. 1 doubles team last year, and will move to No. 2 and No. 3 singles, respectively.
Sophomore Heather Street played some doubles last season and returns to the No. 2 tandem, where she could be joined by a number of people, including sophomore twins Aly and Lexis Davis, sophomore Heidi Bonus or junior Lauren Shively, who is back out for the team for the first time she her freshman year.
"If someone has athletic ability, they can make the jump to the varsity level fairly quickly," Wise said. "But with so little practice time it's hard to tell who will be able to do that. It's hard to judge until you start playing. ... Doubles may be tough for us in the early going, but I think our singles players can be competitive with a lot of schools."

Energy firm looks set to appeal rejected Bullington Cross wind turbine plans
Updated 8:58am Wednesday 18th June 2014 in News By Lauren Howard, Reporter
AN ENERGY company looks set to appeal after its application to build a 14 turbine wind farm in Hampshire was refused.
The Bullington Cross wind farm, which will include turbines across the three districts of Winchester City Council, Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council and Test Valley Borough Council, was refused by councillors amid concerns the site would affect local aviation, ecology and the landscape.
A spokesperson for EDF Energy Renewables said: "We are naturally disappointed at the decisions taken by the councils involved.
"We firmly believe the Bullington Cross site is an excellent location for a wind farm and one that has potential to generate significant benefits to both the local community and economy.
"The scheme has attracted high levels of support and encouragement from the local community and in particular, from the Hampshire Renewable Energy Cooperative. Thousands of letters of local support have been registered with the councils that recognised the importance and merits of the proposal.
"As a country we continue to face a significant challenge to maintain energy supply' tackle climate change and maintain affordable energy prices; the proposed scheme would make a positive contribution to all of these issues. We will now carefully review the grounds for this decision and consider our options going forward."
But members of some local parish councils and pro-green groups said they were relieved with the decision.
Douglas Paterson, chairman of Keep Hampshire Green, said: "Obviously we are hugely relived. There are mixed emotions to be honest. I find myself very angry that we've all been put through this but I'm very grateful that the councils can see through that which they have been fed. I have huge thanks to the officers who kept a clear site. They gave no indication which way they were going to go until the very end.
"Now is the time to recognise what out planners do. We have a beautiful countryside and they have arbitrated through this and got it right. It says something for the democratic system that we won the day. We have the worry of appeal but we think that the reasons for refusal are so strong that we should win again."
Lucy Dowson, South Wonston Parish Councillor for planning, said: "We're absolutely delighted. We're delighted that there are three planning authorities who listened to the recommendations of the planning officers and listened to local residents."
A survey was carried out by the parish council earlier in the year which saw 25 per cent of the village respond. Of the responses, 80 per cent voted against the wind farm, 15 per cent voted in favour and the remaining five per cent had no opinion.
"We have done a survey and we have got evidence about what people really thought about it and it was clear people were very much against it," Cllr Dowson added. "We're slightly tempered because they might appeal but the fact that it's backed by three authorities gives us hope for the future."

I hope the energy do appeal and they are successful in that appeal. Renewable energy is the only way forward to deal with our increasing demands for electricity and wind turbines have to be part of that.

• • According to the wind industry (may 2014), UK has 1,278 Windfarms comprising –
9,912 Large Industrial Turbines, + approx 18,000 small units,
Total Capacity = 23 GW
See - http://www.renewable
• • At the moment wind is only contributing 0.8 GW; (we are importing 7 x that from France & Holland), a mere 2% to our grid demand !! Look here - http://www.gridwatch
.templar.co.uk/ ;
• • And this is the French Grid live figs - http://www.gridwatch
Weather systems can be huge, Europe has had high pressure dominating for weeks, so sod all wind from Ireland to Poland, Italy to Scotland for the last few mths. See -
• • Live production from your local windfarm – RWEs interactive Euro map- http://www.rwe.com/w
Notes; 1. Capacity is in MW but output in kW so ÷ 1,000 to compare.
2. A minus fig indicates drawing power from grid to rotate blades.
• • And this is how much EXTRA we pay per mth for low density intermittent 'green' energy - http://www.variablep
itch.co.uk/finance/ & yes the figs are £millions/mth.
• • Lots more info from-
Department of Energy & Climate Change ( DECC ) & Grid figs
( Digest of United Kingdom Energy Statistics ( DUKES)

These are the Billions ££ we give for intermittent 'green' energy -

& yes the monthly totals ARE £££ millions.
To see how little we get for that all that cash, look here - http://www.ukpowerge
It is a very dangerous world, when money & politics trump science & engineering facts.

Our leadership has to change in favour of people who can recognise the long term priorities towards a human race that respect one another and the environment and can prosper generation after generation.
I hope there is an appeal it is heard by a sympathetic inspector although i seriously doubt this will be upheld.

Guided busway bosses have splashed out £75,000 on a machine to grit the guided busway bridleway.
The "Multihog" machine combines brine spraying equipment and a snow plough and will be used to keep the route ice and snow free during the winter.
The four-wheel drive, which has a top speed of 25mph, was needed because the maintenance track's length, width and limited access meant it was unsuitable for existing gritting gadgetry.
The vehicle could also be used to treat other hard-to-reach areas across Cambridgeshire such as town centres.
Cllr Steve Criswell, the county council's community infrastructure chief, said the Multihog's flexibility would mean it would not sit in a garage for half of the year.
He said: "Since it opened, the guided busway has proved very popular with passengers and the smooth-surfaced track alongside is proving to be equally well used by a host of cyclists, walkers, horse riders, pedestrians and local people looking for a new place to take their dog for a walk.
"One of the major advantages of this specialist piece of equipment is that it will be used not only on the maintenance track and elsewhere in harder to reach areas, but it can also be brought into service throughout the year by adding other attachments such as a planer or the sweeper which can be used during highway repair work which goes on over all 52 weeks of the year."
The council said the Multihog would help to save money by replacing machinery which is currently leased, and it is hoped it will prevent slips and trips, and the subsequent expensive treatment.
Health chief Cllr Tony Orgee said: "This piece of equipment will boost the range of areas we are able to grit and therefore help to cut the number of people who potentially need medical treatment because of winter-weather related injuries."
The Multihog is manufactured in Ireland and has a 1,200 litre brine tank and a 90hp diesel engine.
It has a towing capacity of three tons and a quick release mechanism which allows attachments to be swapped in a couple of minutes.

The Carolina Hurricanes (7-4-1) will host the Toronto Maple Leafs (8-5-0) at PNC Arena on Thursday night.
It will mark the second of three meetings between the teams this season.
Carolina managed to earn a 4-1 win when the teams last met at the start of February. The Hurricanes managed to produce two power-play goals on the four-man advantages they were afforded, while holding the Maple Leafs scoreless on five power-play chances.
Matt Frattin scored the lone Toronto goal, while Eric Staal, Jordan Staal, Justin Faulk and Patrick Dwyer combined for the four Carolina scores. Hurricanes forward Jeff Skinner registered a game-high three assists.
James Reimer was pegged with the loss and allowed four goals on 39 shots, while Cam Ward managed to stop 41 of 42 shots faced.
Heading into Thursday night, the Leafs are riding a four-game winning streak, which began immediately following the loss to the Hurricanes.
After allowing four goals to Carolina, Toronto has held its opponents to two goals or fewer over the course of the extended winning streak. In addition, the club has scored three goals or more in each game and has outscored opponents by a margin of 17-6.
Carolina enters the night on a two-game winning streak and has managed to register points in five consecutive games.
Since the start of February, the Hurricanes have scored three goals or more in six of the seven games they have played in the season's second month. With the exception of a regulation loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, the club has registered points in every game this month.
Over the course of their five-game point streak, the club has outscored opponents by a margin of 24-18.
Thursday night's game is scheduled to start at 7 p.m., ET and will be televised on FS-CR and Leafs TV.

"The very first time I saw Jon Jones fight, I remember coming home and talking to my business partner at American Fighter and saying, 'This guy is going to be a stud. I knew it right away. He's got an 84-inch reach, and he's 6-foot-4. It's just crazy. You see guys like that, and you're like, 'They're bigger than me, and they're stronger than me,' but I'm a fighter, and there's a part of me that still wants to fight them and see how I'd do."
Former UFC Middleweight Champion Rich Franklin, who was kicked out of the 185-pound division by the seemingly invincible Anderson Silva, talks to the Springfield News-Sun about the meteoric rise of new Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones, who just so happens to rule the weight class Franklin now calls home. "Ace" is just as enamored with the rise of "Bones" as the rest of the mixed martial arts community but his competitive spirit also wonders how he might fare in a 205-pound throwdown. Could the ex-math teacher be the one to solve the Jones equation? Or would Franklin's fantasy fight be a zero sum game?

Oily seabirds found on Sussex coast - latest
Hundreds of seabirds have died after being covered in a "refined mineral-based oil mixture", with many of them found along the Sussex coast, the Environment Agency has said.
Almost 200 birds - mostly guillemots - are being treated at RSPCA centres along the southern coast after they were washed ashore covered in the white, sticky substance.
There was earlier speculation the mystery substance may have been palm oil, but scientists working to identify it have since reported that it is a refined mineral oil.
Staff took samples from the affected water in an effort to establish the cause of the pollution.
A spokesman for the Environment Agency said: "The results show that it is a refined mineral-based oil mixture, but not from an animal or vegetable-based oil, which rules out palm oil."
RSPCA deputy chief inspector John Pollock, who has been leading the rescue mission in Dorset, earlier described the substance as "white, odourless and globular".
He added: "It is like a silicone sealer. The best way I can think to describe it is 'sticky Vaseline'."
Staff at the RSPCA West Hatch centre near Taunton, Somerset, have been treating the birds using margarine and washing up liquid to clean the substance from their feathers.
Peter Venn, manager at West Hatch, said: "What we are hearing are reports of birds showing up on the Sussex coast, so that may mean that the weather is pushing them more easterly.
"This certainly adds up from the basis that we were getting birds earlier in the week from Cornwall, Devon, then up through Dorset and have had birds from Hampshire today, so everything is certainly not over by any means."

Orioles have rooting interest in Classic
Teammates Guthrie, Mora, Izturis facing off tonight in Toronto
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- It may not be an elimination game in the World Baseball Classic, but the Orioles will have more than a passing interest in the results of Wednesday night's contest between Team USA and Venezuela. Baltimore will have players on both sides, making the game must-see TV for the Orioles.
And in the right circumstances, Baltimore's entrants may even have a chance to face each other. Staff ace Jeremy Guthrie is expected to pitch in relief for the USA, while third baseman Melvin Mora and shortstop Cesar Izturis play for Venezuela. Mora has started out red hot, but Izturis hasn't played much so far.
At any rate, Baltimore manager Dave Trembley expects to watch the game -- and Guthrie -- very carefully.
"I e-mailed him the other night and I finally got a response back," said Trembley. "I'm looking forward to it. I told him if he had a few minutes and they were still in the area [to drop by] ... and he said he'd stop by."
With that last comment, Trembley was referring to the next round of the World Baseball Classic, which will take place in nearby Miami. The current round is going on in Toronto, Canada, and Team USA will look to repeat its win over Venezuela, which came by a 15-6 margin and cemented their place in the next round.
Guthrie didn't pitch in either of his team's first two games, and pitching coach Rick Kranitz said he'll be monitoring his status closely on Wednesday to make sure that he's been used correctly. Guthrie is just about the only sure thing on a muddled starting staff, and Kranitz needs to know he'll be ready for Opening Day.
"I know he's going to piggyback that game, so I'm hoping he gets the proper amount of pitches," he said. "For me, that's crucial right now. And I want it in a game. He needs to continue to increase his pitches. I know the limit is 70, but even if he throws 60, that's perfect for me. As long as he doesn't do it in two innings."
For George Sherrill, the situation is a bit more complicated. Baltimore's relief ace was at first turned down for a spot on Team USA, and then he was re-offered a position and had to turn it down because he wasn't ready to compete. Now, he finds himself drawn to the television but without the usual regrets or what-if scenarios.
"I definitely would love to be there, but they're doing pretty good and that's good to see," he said. "It's not like they didn't call or anything like that. The thing is, for me to be on the team, it's going to take something bad to happen. You never want to root for that. I know a few of the guys on the team, so it's good to see them do well."
Guillermo Quiroz, a Venezuela native, knows what Sherrill's going through. The former Little League World Series champion said he'd love to represent his country again if the timing and circumstances ever work out.
"I sent in my paperwork, but Venezuela has a lot of good catchers," said Quiroz of the Classic. "It would be nice to have been a part of it, even though I have no idea about my situation here. I think if I would've gotten an invitation, I probably wasn't going to go anyway. But I've got a lot of friends over there. Ramon Hernandez texted me the other night and I talked to him for a little bit. He just told me about Italy beating Canada, and that's about it."
For others, the drama doesn't have much appeal beyond the normal competitive aspects. Catcher Gregg Zaun, for instance, said that he likes following his teammates and learning about players he wouldn't normally see. But he also said that the Classic doesn't appeal to him for reasons that largely boil down to timing.
"It's not that exciting," he said. "You see a pitcher go out and have a 70-pitch limit. They've got clickers in the dugout watching him. It's like a glorified exhibition game -- Spring Training that counts. I have a hard time getting excited for a game where the starter's going to go 70 pitches, be dominant and then have to come out.
"I'm sure the fans are enjoying it because it's national pride, but in my opinion, the guys that are playing it should be a little closer to in-game shape if they want to make it mean something to guys like me."
Zaun jokingly admitted that he's likely not the target audience for the tournament, and Kranitz said his comfort level was maximized by knowing that Guthrie would be working with pitching coach Marcel Lachemann.
"He's really good," he said, grading out his peer. "I dealt with him with Dontrelle [Willis], and he does a great job of keeping us up on what's going on. His first care is obviously for the pitchers, making sure that these guys are being used the right way. I feel very fortunate that we're going to get a guy like that to take care of him."

I hear plenty of complaints about congested streets and difficulties getting around town, be it by car, walking or riding a bicycle. There is a local group working hard at addressing our transportation issues and they'd like your help.
The Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization is trying to identify our future transportation needs and priorities. Those folks will take that information and make recommendations on the projects necessary to address existing and future regional transportation needs.
Its Citizen Advisory Council is conducting a 16 question survey about transportation issues in the Wilmington area. This isn't just limited to roads and vehicles. It includes gathering data on different modes of transportation, including mass transportation and aviation.
So instead of complaining to me or your friends about being stuck in traffic, go to our website, wect.com, and look for this logo on our homepage and complete the survey.
The time you invest in helping plan our future transportation improvements may come back to you ten-fold someday when you are moving about the city at a much nicer pace.
That's my turn. Now it's your turn. To comment on this segment, or anything else, email me at email@example.com.
