NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – Four Yuba College students – Bob King, Jason Kane, Joe Bray and Jeremy Fabiano – won second place at the 2013 Fall National Cyber League (NCL), Western Conference Silver Bracket competition.
All four students are preparing for the Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC).
The first day of the competition is a virtual qualifier; they will be competing on Saturday, March 1.
Students are given a virtual scenario where they must defend an e-commerce server network from attack, if the “‘49’er Hackers” are successful and place in the top eight, they will move on.
The mission of the Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC) system is to provide institutions with computer security curriculum in a controlled, competitive environment to assess their students' depth of understanding and operational competency in managing the challenges inherent in protecting a network infrastructure.
Not only do students get a chance to test their knowledge in an operational environment, they also will get a chance to network with industry professionals.
CCDC provides a unique opportunity for students and industry professionals to interact and discuss many of the security and operational challenges the students will soon face as they enter the job market.
Yuba College has three satellite campuses, Clear Lake Campus, Beale Air Force Base and the Sutter County Center.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Team DUI is proud to announce its inaugural Kellie Thein Scholarship competition.
The competition is named in loving memory of Kellie Thein – the daughter of Team DUI founder Judy Thein – who was killed as a result of a drunken driving tragedy.
There are two scholarships of $750 each available to graduating high school seniors.
The only eligibility requirement is that the applicants attended a Team DUI presentation at some point in their academic career.
Students should contact their high school counselor for the essay prompt and further information.
All applications are due to Robert Young at the Lake County Office of Education by Feb. 28.
Team DUI was formed as a countywide volunteer educational outreach program designed to raise awareness of the consequences and dangers of DUI through prevention with the focus on the youth of our communities in order to help prevent one more senseless death or injury.
Team DUI's goal is to make Lake County students aware of the consequences of driving under the influence, of ways to insure safety for themselves as passengers in cars and to encourage them to make wise choices in all aspects of their lives.
Concerned community members, school administrators, California Highway Patrol, Lake County Sheriff's Office, Clearlake Police, Lakeport Police, Lake County Behavioral Health Department, Victim Witness, Lake Family Resource Center, Lake County Probation Department, MADD, and Lake County Office of Education's Safe Schools, Friday Night Live, Healthy Start, and AmeriCorps programs are just a few of the partner agencies that help coordinate Team DUI.

Here at Carlé High School, we are trying to raise funds for a prom this year.
Students Roy Kirk and Sabrina Farnan are designing key chains to give out for donations. They are printing 100 key chains that they are planning to sell for at least $7 each or buyers have the choice to pay more for a bigger donation. All proceeds from the key chains will go towards funding prom. If any Carlé Chronicle readers want to buy any, call the school to order a key chain, 707-994-1033.
Student council recently chose three representatives from each advisory. The time of the student council meetings have also changed to Tuesdays at sixth period instead of at lunch. Student council will be getting more active in designing and promoting their activities.
Student Alvin Wilder has come on the morning TV bulletin representing student council and students Deandre Morris and Kelly Alvarez came to a staff meeting to report about student council activities.
On February 3 and 4 Alan Siegel will attend the 2014 State Teacher of the Year celebration in Sacramento. Siegel was a member of the committee that selected this year’s five state teachers of the year. In addition, he will be on hand to run the audio/visual for the whole celebration night.
Student Daniel Salvante has been making some fun short videos around campus lately that are definitely worth mentioning. He has showed some on the morning bulletin so far including one with a giant spider, one with an avalanche, one with a giant boulder falling on him, a shape ship shooting lasers from space and many more yet to be premiered.
Lukas Carlson is currently making some thank you items for Willie Sapeta and Mark Hill for letting the hazmat students visit the fire house for a day, learn more about gadgets used in the field, and get suited up in personal protective equipment.
Charles Warren has volunteered to take over writing the Carlé Chronicle after Kasandra Colwell graduates, which will be very soon.
There were two students of the week, those students being Nathan Oakley and Kevin Fisher. Both of them got a front-of-the-lunch-line pass, a free pizza from DJ’s pizza in Lower Lake and a free item from the business. Enjoy!
The CHILY winner was Alvin Wilder, who chose the stuffed animal puppy that resembled a yellow Labrador.
The Scandia gold level trip was on Jan. 31. The students were able to use anything there without limits.
This gold level trip was a reward for those who earned gold level during second and/or third grading period.
The people who attended, earning gold both grading periods, were Kelly Alvarez, Kasandra Colwell, Jacob Davis, Kevin Fisher, Jeremy Hunter, Jasmine McGee, Kobi Minard, DeAndre Morris, Daniel Salvante and Blake Von Rekowski. Those who earned it once were Jade Beatty, Savanna Golden, Troy Lamburth, Dane Pearson, Isaiah Piazza, Chelsea Scholesser, Chenoa Schmidt, Amaree Whiley and Alvin Wilder.
In order to be able to go on a gold level trip, one must earn it. To earn gold level the student must earn at least 15 credits in one grading period with at least 1.5 credits earned in each class.
To earn gold level the student must also have a minimum of 90 percent attendance. If a student earns gold level, they are earning credit at a faster pace than they would at another high school.
The reward for earning gold level is the silver level movie and the gold level trip along with a gold level card which allows the student freedom to leave campus at lunch.
Silver level is the equivalent to earning a normal amount of credit at another high school. The student must earn 12 credits with at least one credit in each class with at least 85 percent attendance to be awarded silver level. The award is the silver level movie.
If a student is as bronze level or lower, they are going slower than the regular high school pace. It is highly recommended for those students to come to school more often and get more work done.
Make sure you are on your way to your goals so you can accomplish them!
