[The Day After] [The Day Before]2[The World Ends]
19 December 2012: We had a great time evening at yet another BV mixer. A crowd of about forty turning out for ‘The Day Before The Day Before The World Ends’ mixer. All our local BV groups were there and we had a whole lot of networking going on!
Colin Hanson (SensorTech President) and Tom Campbell (MTTS Chair) get down to business.

Join us 6-9pm Wednesday evening, 19 December at Los Robles Greens clubhouse/banquet room for The Day Before The Day Before The World Ends mixer.
Doomsayers claim that the Mayan Calendar predicts the world’s end when the northern hemisphere’s winter solstice occurs, or 21 December on the Western calendar. Consequently the event has no agenda.
Please stop by after work; come meet and mingle with your fellow IEEE members to chat and enjoy.
This event is the last event of the year — perhaps ever — so we hope to see you there.
Where:
- 6-9pm Wednesday 19 December 2012
Where:

Change Your ieee.org Password
IEEE headquarters reports a data breech exposing 100,000 IEEE member accounts with their passwords.
The data breech is particularly harmful because last Spring the IEEE began using member’s email addresses as their log-ins to IEEE sites and services. Accounts at any other site or service, e.g. GMail, that uses this email address and password to log-on are also at risk.
IEEE will contact compromised individuals. As a precaution, however, we recommend all members change IEEE web account passwords today.
Many thanks to IEEE member and security expert Don Johnson for bringing this to the Section’s attention.
Google Mail Users Tip: if you haven’t already done so, now is a good time to enable Google’s two-step authentication service.
