Audio (or other) rating in Music section
in Site Mechanics, Design and Development
Although I thoroughly enjoy sifting through everybody's informative and highly intellectual comments on quality and not to mention, opinions on the band (ahem), I think it would be a good idea to have some kind of rating system for music. For example some people who upload do not state the bitrate. What do you, the wonderful public, think?

Well, I think that people that really loves and enjoys music always try to find the best sound quality and probably have got a good HIFI equipment at home, I don't care about downloading a massive vinyl FLAC if that brings me (with a DAC) to listen to a great audio performance, external discs are now much cheaper and ISP connections much faster, so size is not a hassle, I always choose the highest quality and bitrate in the music I upload, if people don't care about this they can download MP3, once I've heard how those FLAC 24 bits vinyl rips sounds ( big thanks to all the uploaders ) I won't ever download a MP3 again, the digital sound doesn't sound to me as good as the analogic one, the vinyls are coming back and they should never would have gone, maybe people should comment more what they download, not only thanking the uploader but the quality of the music, the recording and the rip, that's the easiest way to do it, when I give a thumbs up I don't know if it is because the download is complete and with no errors ( should I thumbs up a verified uploader? ) or what, giving more feedback is the proper way to solve this issue IMHO, and the uploaders deserve at least some appreciation for their job ...

I think we should have more attributes to the music uploaded in general. Like the genre, bitrate etc. Btw, I have created this App that is based on torrent technology and let's you stream music like spotify - http://bit[dot]ly/TorrentMusic do check it out guys and PM me on how you find it!

If you meant have a section for bitrate, then no, you'll have to post it. But if not, and just you just mean the rating system then done :)

I would hazard a guess that a significant number of KAT users are reading this and saying to themselves "this is all Greek to me" and then just moving on.
I would hope that if the idea does in fact gain the traction it needs to come to fruition that an explanation of sorts would be made available to those who are not as tech savvy as the ones who are at the discussion, myself being an exclusion, and that the explanation is in terms that can be easily understood by everyone.

Danica Patrick becomes first woman to win Daytona 500 pole
Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
Danica Patrick has won the Daytona 500 pole, becoming the first woman to secure the top spot for any Sprint Cup race.
It was the biggest achievement of her four-year NASCAR career.
Patrick went out eighth in the qualifying session Sunday and covered the 2 1/2-mile superspeedway in 45.817 seconds, averaging 196.434 mph.
"Hopefully, there are good things to come," Patrick said.
She waited about two hours as 37 fellow drivers tried to take her spot. Only four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon even came close to knocking her off.

OGDEN, Utah (AP) -- Authorities say a Utah man accused of groping a nurse who was helping a woman giving birth to his child has been charged with forcible sexual abuse.
Adam Jay Manning was charged with the second-degree felony Tuesday.
Police have said the 30-year-old brought a pregnant woman Friday to a hospital in Ogden, about 40 miles north of Salt Lake City. A nurse came to help the woman, and Manning allegedly made a comment about how cute she was.
Ogden Police Lt. Loring Draper has said Manning then told the nurse something looked wrong with her neck and attempted to massage it before grabbing her breast.
Manning was arrested and missed the birth of the child.
Thirty-year-old Adam Manning brought his laboring wife to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden. He told a nurse she was "cute" then reached for her breasts.
The police were called. Manning's wife said he was drunk, though it's unknown whether he drove to the hospital intoxicated.

This application claims the priority of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2007-0127883 filed on Dec. 10, 2007, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method and system for extracting an edge of a distal radius used to predict an adult height of a child from an X-ray image.
2. Description of the Related Art
Recently, as concerns about children's growth increase, the development of a clinical method of predicting an adult height of a child and a treatment of increasing the adult height becomes main interests of children growth researches.
Particularly, the prediction of child's adult height is performed on the basis of bone age measurement of the child. Here, a bone age means the degree of physiological maturation of a child's bones that is different from a physical age of the child. Therefore, the bone age is not equal to the physical age, and the bone ages of persons in a state where bone maturation is finished are equal.
Therefore, the bone age is used as the degree of a child's growth remaining time. When the bone age is advanced than the physical age, a growth remaining time is short, and it is determined that the remaining growth of a child is short. Therefore, for a child of whose adult height is predicted to be short by the bone age measurement, growth treatment is needed to increase the adult height before the bone maturation is finished.
As representative methods for measuring bone age, there are a Greulich-Pyle (GP) method based on atlas and a Tanner-Whitehouse (TW) method of describing the degree of bone maturation as a score. Particularly, the TW is more objective and so widely applied. The TW method is improved as a TW2 method, and in 2000, a TW3 method is introduced.
In the TW3 method, by adding maturation scores of bone growth sites displayed in an X-ray image, RUS (radius, ulna, short bones) scores and carpal scores are obtained. In general, bone growth sites maturation grades are classified into A-I, that is, nine grades, and a maturation score corresponding to each bone maturation grade is provided.
In general, a clinical doctor determines a bone maturation grade from an X-ray image of a hand, converts the bone maturation grade into a maturation score, calculates RUS scores or carpal scores by adding bone maturation scores, and measures a bone age of a child, on the basis of the TW3 method.
Since the existing bone age measurement methods are performed by a subjective determination of the clinical doctor, errors may occur between clinical doctors, and even one doctor may provide different results in different time.
Therefore, an apparatus for computing a bone maturation grade objectively through a computer algorithm is required, and bone maturation grade computing apparatuses using several computer algorithms have been developed and applied.
However, most of the apparatuses associated with bone age measurement that have been clinically applied serve as tools for helping doctors to perform the TW3 bone age measurement easily using the acquired X-ray image and cannot compute the bone maturation grade by themselves. In addition, although a function of computing the bone maturation grade is included, doctors have to involve in the determination. In addition, although operations for computing bone maturation grades are automated, in some cases, accuracy of the result of the computation may not be guaranteed.
More specifically, the determination of a bone maturation grade is performed by classifying and assessing changes in shapes of an epiphysis and a metaphysis that form a bone growth site and the amount of fusion between the two bones. Therefore, for more accurate determination of the bone maturation grades, edges between the epiphysis and the metaphysis forming the bone growth site have to be accurately extracted.
However, in the existing method, extraction of the edge between the epiphysis and the metaphysis from the X-ray image is performed by applying various edge detection masks and a method of setting a gray level threshold. However, when the aforementioned method using the X-ray image is used to detect the edge, signal noises are mixed, so that there is a problem in that reliability of a result of the detection is decreased.
In addition, in order to reduce the effects of the signal noises from the X-ray image, some methods such as an Active Shape Model (ASM) or Snake are used to detect a bone edge line. In this case, a number of sample images have to be acquired in advance to manually segment bone edges by clinical doctors. In addition, according to methods of providing a curvature characteristic to the Snake, the performances of bone edge detection are changed. In addition, there is a problem in that a snake appropriate for various bone edges cannot be easily generated.
As described above, conventional methods of extracting an edge of the distal radius metaphysis which is an important factor to measure a bone age from an X-ray image have a problem in that accuracy of the result of the extraction is decreased and reliability of the bone age measurement is decreased.
Therefore, an aspect of the present invention provides a method and an apparatus for extracting an edge of the distal radius metaphysis that has a high reliability from an X-ray image having signal noises by using a gradient of gray levels and a metropolis annealing technique to accurately and simply extract the edge of the metaphysis from the X-ray image of a distal radius.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of extracting an edge of a distal radius metaphysis including: setting a region of interest including a distal radius in an X-ray image; setting a potential energy distribution of the region of interest by using a gradient of gray levels; setting a temporary edge adjacent to both sides of a distal radius metaphysis and a side of an epiphysis in the region of interest; and extracting a detailed edge of the distal radius metaphysis having minimum energy by adjusting the set temporary edge using a metropolis annealing technique.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for extracting an edge of a distal radius metaphysis including: a region of interest setting unit setting a region of interest including a distal radius metaphysis in an X-ray image; a potential energy setting unit setting a potential energy distribution by using a gradient of gray levels in the region of interest; a pre-processing unit setting a temporary edge of the distal radius metaphysis in the region of interest; and an edge extracting unit extracting a detailed edge of the distal radius metaphysis by adjusting the set temporary edge by using a metropolis annealing technique.
The above and other aspects, features and other advantages of the present invention will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description, the detailed descriptions of well-known functions and structures may be omitted so as not to hinder the understanding of the present invention.
Like reference numerals designate like elements throughout the specification.
In addition, in the specification, it should be noted that when a portion "is connected to" the other portion, the portion can be directly connected thereto or indirectly connected thereto with intervening elements present. In addition, it should be noted that a phrase that a portion "includes" an element means that the other element is not excluded but it can be further included therein if a particularly contrary phase is not disclosed.

Here, the calculation of the gradient may use a 3×3 Sobel filter (referred to as S). In addition, in order to further reduce signal noise, a Sobel filter that has an enlarged size may be used. When the Sobel filter (S) is used, a gradient of each pixel is set to √{square root over (Sx2+Sy2)} that is a combination of an x-directional Sobel filter value (referred to as Sx) with a y-directional Sobel filter value (referred to as Sy), and a potential energy of the pixel is set to −√{square root over (Sx2+Sy2)}. Accordingly, a dynamical system in which a potential energy of a pixel is decreased as a gradient of the pixel (that is, at an edge between a distal radius and a soft tissue) is increased can be implemented.

In addition, in a step 142, an energy E of each of the landmark pixels is set. Here, various methods can be used to set energy of a landmark pixel. For example, the energy is set as a sum of a potential energy and a bending energy of the corresponding landmark pixel. The bending energy of the n-th landmark pixel may be set as −EB cos(θ) by using an angle θ formed by (n−1)-th, n-th, and (n+1)-th landmark pixels. The bending energy is a kind of penalty for preventing a bend without a potential energy decrease. A coefficient EB of the bending energy of the n-th landmark pixel may be a constant or set to be proportional to an average potential energy of the (n−1)-th, n-th, and (n+1)-th landmark pixels. In the embodiment illustrated in
The metropolis annealing is a technique for finding a structure at a low energy state of a corresponding physical system by simulating the most probable physical state at a given temperature while decreasing the temperature of the physical system. The technique prevents that the corresponding physical system falls into its local minimum and cannot be reached a practically minimum state, and generates the most probable physical state at any temperature. In order to change a state of a physical system at a temperature of T, in the metropolis annealing technique, when the energy variation is ΔE, a state change is set at a possibility of maximum of
and 1 to generate the most probable physical state.
Therefore, when the highest temperature TH is set as described above, in a step 144, in a state where a metropolis annealing temperature T is set to the temperature TH, a position of a landmark pixel selected at random or sequentially is moved to an adjacent position. In this case, the movement is accepted by calculating the energy variation of the system in the metropolis annealing technique. In addition, in a step 145, operations in the step 144 are repeated a predetermined number (a number of times the number N of the total landmark pixels) of times. After the movement is performed the predetermined number of times, in a step 146, the temperature T is decreased by a unit temperature ΔT set in advance, and in a step 147, a current metropolis annealing temperature T is checked. Thereafter, while decreasing the temperature T down to a predetermined minimum temperature TL, the step 144 is repeated.
In the step 144, when the position of the landmark is moved to an adjacent position, the position is moved in a direction (an arrow direction in
By repeating the step 144, each of the set landmark pixels is moved to a pixel having a minimum energy, so that the most probable edge of the distal radius metaphysis can be extracted.
As described above, when the edge of the distal radius metaphysis is extracted by using a conventional active shape model (ASM), a large number of databases for extraction of an edge of a distal radius metaphysis are needed. In addition, when the distal radius metaphysis is extracted by using the snake or the like, the performance of the metaphysis edge detection may be changed according to characteristics of the stake. However, in the method of extracting the edge of the distal radius metaphysis according to the present invention, without additional databases, the most physically natural edge can be obtained from the X-ray image, and a simple and good metaphysis edge extraction performance can be obtained.
Referring to
Operations of the aforementioned apparatus for extracting the edge of the distal radius metaphysis are performed according to the method of extracting an edge of a distal radius metaphysis, so that a detailed description of the operations is omitted to avoid redundancy.
Accordingly, when an edge of a distal radius metaphysis is to be extracted by using an X-ray image of a hand, the edge of the distal radius metaphysis can be simply and accurately extracted by using the gradient of the gray levels and the metropolis annealing technique.
The apparatus for extracting an edge of a distal radius metaphysis according to the present invention can also be embodied as computer readable codes on a computer readable recording medium. Specifically, the apparatus for extracting an edge of a distal radius metaphysis according to the present invention can be embodied as computer programs to relatively simply and accurately extract the edge of the distal radius metaphysis needed to measure a bone age from an X-ray image of a hand. The computer readable recording medium includes any data storage device that can store data which can be thereafter read by a computer system. Examples of the computer readable recording medium include read-only memory (ROM), random-access memory (RAM), CD-ROMS, magnetic tapes, floppy disks, optical data storage devices, and carrier waves (such as data transmission through the Internet). The computer readable recording medium can also be distributed over network coupled computer systems so that the computer readable code is stored and executed in a distributed fashion.
While the present invention has been shown and described in connection with the exemplary embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

With a population of around 30 000, this charming village is just a short drive from the beautiful beaches of the Sunshine Coast. The name Buderim comes from a local Aboriginal word, Badderam, for the hairpin honeysuckle which grows in the area. Buderim was settled by Europeans around 140 years ago, with the first permanent settlement established around 1860, with timber gathering being the original industry in the area. The rich soil of the area is perfect for growing many crops, including bananas, citrus fruit, coffee, sugar cane, and ginger, and Buderim Ginger is brand name recognised throughout the world.

Which clones have a shot at getting drafted or even making it this year?
Our senior class wasn't very strong, I don't see anyone heading to the draft.
I would have to say the only one with a shot is RJ.
"Profanity is the Crutch of Inarticulate Mother ****ers"
The Wall in the Bathroom at People's
Yeah probably just RJ... two years ago i would have said singleton but his game has dropped off a lot. Kurtis Taylor perhaps?

Singelton has a good chance
I think Taylor will get picked up by a team as a free agent. I really doubt that anybody will be drafted though.

Polaris Dance Theatre's repertoire embodies a vast range of dance styles and movement qualities. For this reason, Polaris dancers must be strong in multiple dance techniques, ranging from ballet to dynamic contemporary to Horton and contact improvisation.
Techniques that will be taught throughout the program:
- Vaganova/Cecchetti/Royal Academy of Dance
- Vaganova and Cecchetti ballet techniques, allowing students to approach learning movement from several angles as well as absorb the history of ballet. Classes often contain a lot of imagery and experimentation in addition to practical advice.
- Horton
- This class features the preludes and fortifications of Lester Horton's technique. The technique emphasizes a whole body, anatomical approach to dance that includes flexibility, strength, coordination of body and spatial awareness to enable unrestricted, dramatic freedom of expression. It is a technique that will correct physical faults and prepare a dancer for any type of dancing he or she may wish to follow.
- Release Technique
- Our approach to this class goes beyond the release technique. Besides release itself, we will emphasize deep, grounded movement as well as aiming for big range of movement and the connection throughout the entire body. There will be a very substantial focus on transitioning from various standing positions to the floor. Fluid, silent and strong floorwork technique will be applied to the principles of Release.
- Polaris artistic director's signature movement
- These classes will take an in-depth look at the rules, relationships and responsibilities required for partnering, as well as principles and techniques of partnering from different disciplines.
- Improvisational dance, its concept, its creation and execution is probably one of the most misunderstood aspect of a dancers artistry. In this class you will learn theory and application of improvisation as well as its construct, parameters and rules which make improvisation one of the most challenging aspects in today's dance.
- In this series of classes, we will not only cover basic rules and elements of creating movement, but we will approach it from the dancers perspectives. Dancers truly are the brushstrokes and hues of color on the choreographer's canvas. Whether you aspire to create new works of movement or not, it is important for all dancers to understand the creative process and their role in its execution, and/or as a participant in its creation.

Don't even joke about stuff like that. :( But yes, they do have a tendency to produce some pretty amazing art work for their covers, which somewhat beckons the question "What the hell were they thinking with

There's No Such Thing As A Jaggy Snake
is probably the best representation of their old work, but like I said it's a bit of an acquired taste so you may want to stick to their newer stuff haha. If you do watch that video I suggest letting it get a couple minutes through before exiting if you're not a fan of the initial style. I'm not sure which album was 'rather crap' though, I haven't heard that claim anywhere haha.
Honestly though if you want an album to listen to I can't recommend
Revolutions: Live at Wembley
highly enough. It's an album comprised of a leg of their UK tour,
, (I went to see them twice in that same tour sooo good) so it's made up of pieces from many different albums and in my opinion they're all performed incredibly well. They go right from their first albums all the way to their later stuff so there's bound to be something in there you like, but I personally find their live performances to sound much better then their already amazing studio recordings so I can't recommend this album highly enough. :D

Standard Marine Ins. Co. v. Assur. Co.
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Standard Marine Ins. Co. v. Assur. Co., 283 U.S. 284 (1931)
Standard Marine Insurance Company, Limited v.
Scottish Metropolitan Assurance Company, Limited
No. 261
Argued March 13, 16, 1931
Decided April 13, 1931
1. It has long been the accepted rule, in the law of maritime torts and of maritime insurance that the recoverable value of cargo lost or damaged at sea is the value at time and place of shipment, without allowance for increase of value or anticipated profits. P. 283 U. S. 288.
2. An insurer against loss of anticipated profits on cargo and an insurer of the cargo are not co-insurers of the same risk, and the former is not entitled to be subrogated with the latter to the cargo owner's right of recovery for destruction of the cargo by a maritime tort. P. 283 U. S. 287.
3. Insurance upon "increased value" of cargo is upon the same footing, in this regard, as insurance upon profits insofar as the former covers value in excess of the value of the cargo at time and place of shipment. P. 283 U. S. 288 et seq.
39 F.2d 436 affirmed.
Certiorari, 282 U.S. 822, to review a decree affirming a decree of the district court, 28 F.2d 540, in a limitation of liability proceeding, which apportioned the recovery between two intervening insurance companies.

question about table foods and serving size
L - 1/23/11 and G - 10/26/12
I've been wondering the same.....
Wifie to Jozef - 7*21*2007
Mommy to Jackson Alexander - 1*19*2011
and Livia Rose - 8*12*2013
Chelsea...Mama to Samantha, born peacefully at home on 1/15/2011.
Mom to 3 English Mastiff FurKids.
My ped told me to start with modified table foods at I think 10 months? We started sooner - and he does great on table foods! No more purees for him!
As for snacks - I'll give him yogurt, applesauce, those little cups of fruit (no sugar added, 100% fruit juice contained) - apples, pears, manderine oranges, peaches... puffs, cheese puff snacks, yogurt bites.
Meals - I just feed him until he doesn't eat anymore. I don't force anything on him - just feed him what he wants 3x a day.. Oh - I lied - I do give cereal still - but mostly because I sneak in some extra breastmilk into it!
Jen (38) * DH (38) * DS (4) * DD (11-11-14)
Michael Joseph - 1/14/11 * Macie Rose - 11/11/14
Lost my baby boy - 7/14/12 @ 22 week gestation
One tablespoon is roughly one serving.I just make sure he gets some from each group and don't really worry about it much.
I just toss him whatever we are having and let him eat until he stops.They will stop when they are full.
Jared has what he will eat, I let him stop when he is done, He has 3 meals and 2 snacks. This is because that is how his father and I eat. We have blood sugar issues so that is just what we need to do and Jared picked it up since he was always adamant that he eat when I eat. I just give him the same as we have and when he is done I let him out of his highchair to play while we finish. As for serving size honestly I bought a few of those Gerber lil toddler meals just so I would have the dishes for later and always put the veggies on the larger side, the meat and starchs in the smaller section. Snacks are usually fresh fruit, yogurt, a few crackers if I am having something he can't, or even those puree pouches that are 100% fruit or veg(he thinks they are the best snack) He is on Milk now but I add a scoop of formula powder to it to make sure he is getting the extra vitamins and calories.

I've been wondering about this too. There are foods he likes more than others and when it's a fav on the tray he eats a ton but if he doesn't care for something he'll take a few bites than turn his head just like he does when he's full. Now I offer several different things at each meal to try and get an idea of how much he needs. I made chicken, pasta and peas and he ate some. I made chili and he gobbled up a "huge" bowl LOL and ate a yogurt. I didn't think he'd eat the much. Whenever he turns away after a small amount of food I pull a favorite out, chicken, turkey, tuna fish, chili, any kind of fruit to see if he'll eat it and most of the time he will. I've been surprised several times by the amount he's eaten.
Does anyone how much of each food (dairy, grains, meat) they need? I've been mixing oatmeal with fruit every morning because I've noticed he doesn't get many grains

The long-awaited NCAA Football 2010 launches today and you can count Florida Gov. Charlie Crist (R) among the game's fans – and its players.
Orlando's WESH-2 reports that the Guv was on hand at EA's Tiburon Studios for an NCAA '10 launch event. Crist praised not only the game but the industry's positive economic impact on Florida's economy:
This is so cool that EA Sports, [that] Tiburon is right here in Florida…
The realism of [the game] is what just blows you away… This is the knowledge-based economy we want to continue to build throughout the state.
It's great for Florida. It's great for jobs. You know in this economy especially, looking for new and innovative ways for people to have gainful employment and the pride that goes along with that. It's so important to so many people.
Crist, who quarterbacked the 1976 Wake Forest team, even appeared in the game dressed in full uniform, courtesy of NCAA '10's Team Builder feature. In a demo of the game run by Tiburon developers, Crist scrambled and passed the Demon Deacons to a four-play touchdown drive.
In comments after the demo, Crist was a good sport about his NCAA '10 character's performance:
I love college football. I wasn't ever very good. The guy on the screen was good. You're very generous.
El Mundo Tech has several videos of the event.

So I've devoted like an hour to problem 9.2-3. Before looking up the solution online, considered doing the problem without a source transformation of the current source. Reason I'm asking for help is that my answer is so close to the textbook's. I'm off by signs and a single term. My work is outlined below. See if you can spot my error.
KCL About the bottom Node: ic=iL+iR2. I've assumed the current of the capacitor is traveling out of the bottom node because of its polarity, is this correct? If I set the bottom node as the ground, than I may find the current through iR2. iR2=I'm subtracting vc because of its polarity. Now I get the equation vs=R2ic-R2iL+vc
KVL around the leftmost loop: vL-vC+vR1=vs The voltage caused by R1 is iR1R1. Taking KCL of the top node gets me iR1=is+iL. Now my equation becomes vs=vL-vC+R1is+R1iL
From this, I get the two operator equations
1. vs=(R2Cs+1)vc-R2iL
2. vs-R1is=(Ls+R1)iL-vC
From Cramer's rule, I get the final second order Differential Equation:
What's my error?!

More about Tajikistan and IMON International
Tajikistan is known for its rich history, which includes a key post along the Silk Road and the end of Alexander the Great's rule. It has also produced great thinkers, philosophers, scientists and poets, including Rudaki, Avicenna, Ferdowsi, Omar Khayyam, Jomi, and Rumi. The country is home to epic mountain passes, communities that still speak the ancient Sogdian language, and a civilization that dates back to the fourth millennium BC. Even today, it is a complex mixture of the Islamic faith, Soviet culture, New West culture and Central Asian traditions.
But Tajikistan is also the poorest of the former Soviet republics. The civil war, which ignited soon after its independence from the U.S.S.R., further damaged the already weak economy. In addition, 93 percent of the country is mountainous and only 7 percent of the land is arable. These conditions have resulted in high levels of unemployment and have forced hundreds of thousands to seek work in other countries, mainly Russia. While the people of Tajikistan are working to improve its agricultural production and manufacturing sector, nearly two-thirds of the population still live in abject poverty.
IMON's History
Since December 2007, IMON International has worked closely with Kiva and Kiva lenders to ensure that poor and low-income clients represent a viable business proposition. Funds raised through Kiva have already been distributed to thousands of IMON International's clients and will continue to provide thousands more with permanent access to the varied financial services they need. To learn more about IMON International's work, please visit www.imon.tj.
Additional Information
About IMON InternationalIMON International (IMON) is a micro-deposit organization in Tajikistan that provides entrepreneurs with access to high quality financial products and services, including business loans, agriculture loans, consumer loans and micro-leases. Aiming to alleviate poverty, the organization helps unbanked individuals establish businesses in different sectors, including manufacturing, agriculture and service.

Annual Report: Fiscal Year 2001
President's Report
The ACTE Annual Report highlights a number of our association's achievements during the year that ended June 30, 2001. Last year's report indicated that many state associations had followed ACTE's name change by adopting "Career and Technical" in their organization names. I am pleased that a total of 37 state associations have now incorporated this terminology. This uniformity throughout our organization will significantly help our efforts to broaden public awareness and understanding of how vocational education has evolved.
ACTE's government relations activities continued to play a critical role in the growth of Perkins Act funding to more than $1.2 billion for FY 2001. The involvement of your association and our members in the legislative process provides essential advocacy for career and technical programs ... advocacy that might otherwise not exist. Active ACTE members are to be commended for your "strong voices" in the continuation of legislative funding support for career and technical education.
This report provides information on these and other activities that have taken place over the past year. In addition, there are other ongoing projects that merit mention:
Continued involvement as Congress considers reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, including such issues as vouchers and block grants
* Postsecondary issues advocacy as Congress begins consideration of a new Welfare Reform Act and Higher Education Act
* Continued development of an image campaign under the guidance of our Business-Education Partners
* Additional programs to enhance member recruitment efforts
Continued redesign and expansion of ACTE's Web site, including online advocacy capabilities
Commitment from McDonald's Corp. to become the annual sponsor of ACTE's teacher awards, including a new award for community service
ACTE is successful because of the involvement of its members and state associations. This annual report highlights our achievements. Read it and share it with members of your community so they will want to be involved in career and technical education. Our programs are the key to America's future success.
William "Bill" Snelson President 2000-2001
There was a good deal of activity in the recognition arena for members and state associations. Thirty-nine schools and institutions of higher learning were recognized for having 100 percent participation of eligible employees in the ACTE Achieve 100 program. Twenty-two state associations received the ACTE Quality Association Award for meeting and surpassing standards of service to their members.
Membership in ACTE remains strong with over 34,000 members. ACTS recruited 4,202 new members during the fiscal year and will continue to promote membership to those with an interest in career and technical education. The Member-Get-AMember campaign will continue to serve as a strong part of the ACTE membership marketing efforts.
The membership staff has seen some changes during the year. Dues and convention registration processing have been outsourced. A new Assistant Executive Director for Membership has been hired, and the department is focusing on improving the core member services activities.
Convention and Meetings
The December 2000 ACTE Annual Convention in San Diego had over 6,000 attendees and over 250 exhibiting companies at the Career Tech Expo. High-profile speakers included presentations by Les Brown, Jeremy Rifkin, Gregory Riker, and Beck Weathers. Attendees had numerous professional development opportunities planned by the divisions and regions with over 600 sessions from which to choose. Popular attractions included the ACTE Bookstore, E-mail Stations and the ACTE Newsstand. Attendees had the ability to share feedback about the convention via the electronic convention survey system.

Oklahoma weather: Crews work to clear storm damage in Oklahoma City as the state braces for severe weather Sunday.
Severe storms hit Oklahoma City on Saturday, trapping people in cars and knocking out power for thousands after pelting far southwest Oklahoma with hail the size of baseballs.
A tornado watch covering much of the state had expired by about 11 p.m., though a severe thunderstorm watch was expected to remain in place south and northeast of the metropolitan area, including Cleveland County, until 3 a.m.
More severe weather is possible Sunday afternoon in central and eastern Oklahoma, said John Pike, a spokesman for the National Weather Service, Norman.
Authorities in Enid said a cattle trough tossed by winds in excess of 70 mph could be behind an accident that injured a police officer as he drove in his cruiser.
"We're not sure exactly what hit his car – we think a cattle trough hit his car and shattered the side windows, causing him to lose control of the vehicle," said Mike Honigsberg, the emergency manager for Enid and Garfield County. "He was already driving in really high winds."
The officer was taken to a local hospital after the accident, which occurred about 9 p.m. near 66th Street and U.S. Highway 412.
Strong winds whipped into Bethany as storms moved into the Oklahoma City metropolitan area about 8:45 p.m.
An Oklahoma City police officer was trapped in a squad car after wind gusts toppled utility poles near NW 150 and N Pennsylvania Avenue. Members of the Oklahoma City Fire Department worked to free the officer and several others who were trapped on Pennsylvania in their vehicles. The road was shut down between NW 160 and the John Kilpatrick Turnpike/Memorial Road.
Baseball-sized hail
The storms dropped baseball-sized hail in southwest Oklahoma on Saturday evening as an unstable air mass hung over the state, said meteorologist Ken Gallant with the weather service.
People reported golf ball- to baseball-sized hail in an area from Altus in Jackson County, up through Hobart in the adjacent Kiowa County, Gallant said.
People posed with palms full of large hail, and posted pictures to the Norman-based forecast office's Facebook page as the storms moved through the area.
Tornado watch
Much of Oklahoma was under a tornado watch into the night Saturday.
The weather service reported a cluster of severe storms moving over Kiowa, Washita and Caddo counties about 7:45 p.m.
Storms with gusts between 45 and 50 mph had moved through Canadian County near El Reno about 8:15 p.m. Saturday.
Gallant warned that severe weather, including tornadoes, are a possibility with a large, unstable air mass over much of the state and advised that residents should monitor weather through the evening.
The weather service reported tornado outbreaks in Kansas and Nebraska as early as 6 p.m.

In addition, create an environment that develops a greater understanding of what Veterans Day is all about. This year is special, due to the 50th Anniversary of the start of the Vietnam War. (1965)
Our objective is to not only celebrate and salute our veteran's, but to use the Veteran's Day celebratory parade to draw attention to the many organizations available to help all veterans in need. The vehicle for this will be the informational kiosks manned by several Veterans organizations.
