Q: Accessing signing/encryption in a browser's Keystore using JavaScript - sample code? (WebCryptoAPI) I have a web server that allows access only using X509 authentication. Works like a charm. Now I want to extend the use of the X509 certificates (which are stored in the user's browser keystore) to

*

*Sign data before it is sent to the server (using JavaScript and HTTPPost)

*Decrypt data read from the server (where it gets encrypted using the user's public key stored there)

I found this example doing RSA Signature which is pretty close.... only it does take the key from a HTML textarea. I want to read it from the key store. Now crypto is quite in flux:

*

*Mozilla

*w3C

*Internet Explorer 11++

*Chome and Chromium
I'm looking for some working examples for signature and encryption (I have some in Java, but not browser based JavaScript).
Help is very much appreciated

A: It is not possible to access the "local keystore" within the browser. Browsers slowly removing access to things that break the Same Origin Policy enforced by browsers. This includes things like plug-ins, the keygen tag, etc.
PKIjs was built with Same Origin Policy PKI in mind, here is a post I did on that topic - https://unmitigatedrisk.com/?p=503

A: By the moment the W3C's WebCrypto standard is specifying a javascript object crypto inside window to perform encryption, digital-signatures, generate keys and so on with javascript. However a standard way to access the local keystore to perform operations like signatures with client keys is not defined. So nowadays there isn't a common way to do so in javascript, each browsers has it's own way; In IE you can do it with ActiveXObject("CAPICOM.Store");, with firefox using window.crypto.signText("textToSign", "ask"); (seems that now its deprecated, take a look here, actual api seems that doesn't support  it: more info here), for chrome I'm not sure however using NativeSDK Client could be a possible way.
Other possibility is also using java applets with all problems this technology has these days.
There is also a project on github which encapsulates in javascript the behavior to sign (only with IE and firefox) using a common object which has the both implementations, I try it months before and work correctly with IE/Firefox, now with firefox doesn't work because the api options are deprecated, if you're curious take a look at: Glamdring/js-signer
You can also check my question where I asked similar question: js signature on chrome with OS keystore
Hope this helps,

A: GlobalSign/PKI.js has support for X.509 certificates.

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is the basis of how identity and key
  management is performed on the web today. PKIjs is a pure JavaScript
  library implementing the formats that are used in PKI applications. It
  is built on WebCrypto (Web Cryptography API) and aspires to make it
  possible to build native web applications that utilize X.509 and the
  related formats on the web without plug-ins.

Paios performs a large variety of electrical and optical characterizations on organic, perovskite and quantum-dot LEDs and solar cells with one click. Get consistent and precise measurement data, directly compare your results in the measurement software and speed up your R&D.
Compare the results from different devices directly in the software. Get highly consistent data.
Reliable and low-noise signals. High reproducibility.
Build a reproducible and reliable device database and store it in the Paios managing software.
Think about physics - Let Paios handle the rest.
Paios performs a variety of different experiments on OLEDs and solar cells. Connect your device, lunch the routine and every measurement is performed automatically. An overview of all characterization techniques for solar cells can be found in our review publication "Opto-electronic characterization of third-generation solar cells".
Photo-CELIV is a powerful technique to extract charge carrier mobility, recombination and doping density.
Now OTRACE is included in Paios.
Impedance Spectroscopy is used to study charge carrier dynamics and charge trapping over a large range of time scales.
Capacitance-Voltage reveals information about the built-in field and the charge injection barriers. Doping density is extracted with Mott-Schottky analysis.
Transient Photovoltage (TPV) is frequently used to de- termine lifetimes of charge carriers in solar cells.
Dark Injection Transient (DIT) is used to study transport in mono-polar devices.
Intensity Modulated Photocurrent Spectroscopy (IMPS) probes charge transport by a sinusoidal light intensity variation at short-circuit.
Transient Electroluminescence (TEL) allows to extract mobilities and the phosphorescence lifetime in an OLED.
IV & IVL are the standard characteri- zation techniques for solar cells and OLEDs.
Intensity Modulated Photovoltage Spectroscopy (IMVS) probes charge recombination by a sinousoidal light intensity variation at open-circuit.
Transient Photocurrent (TPC) provides information on the charge carrier dynamics and charge trapping.
Charge Extraction estimates the charge carrier density of a solar cell at open-circuit voltage.
Modulated Electroluminescense Spectroscopy (MELS) probes charge transport in OLEDs at different frequencies.
Paios is suitable for the characterization of both solar cells and OLEDs. For solar cell research, the main hardware is equipped with a suitable LED illumination system, whereas a photodetector is included in the version for OLED research. The versatile Combined version is suitable for research and development on both LEDs and photovoltaic devices.
Our contacting probes are developed to create a reproducible contact with low parasitic resistance to your device. With the magnetic feet they are flexible for different sample layouts. The device can be easily aligned using our alignment-tool.
The measurement table comes with a black lid to ensure reproducibility of dark measurements.
We also deliver a customized sample-holder upon request. See Paios Modules for more details.
Physical processes are often too complex to understand by qualitative explanations. Numerical simulation enables quantitative understanding of experimental results and can be used to test hypotheses. The drift-diffusion simulation software Setfos is seamlessly integrated into the Paios control software, which allows comparison of measurement and simulation directly in Paios. Paios and Setfos represent, therefore, an unique powerful tool for the complete characterization of OLEDs and solar cells.
Many electrical parameters of organic, perovskite and hybrid devices cannot be determined easily. Comprehensive device modeling is required to extract these parameters. Paios does the job for you. The parameter fitting routine optimizes simulation parameters to meet defined targets and calculates the parameter correlation to check the quality of the fit.
Paios performs global parameter fits on a combination of all available experiments, e.g. capacitance-voltage, impedance, IV-curves, TPV, TPC, photo-CELIV. Our advanced algorithms make it possible to get fitting result within a few minutes. Parameter evolution and fit results can be monitored directly during optimization.
The fit quality can be analysed with the correlation matrix that is automatically calculated by Paios. The correlation matrix is important to judge how accurate the extracted parameters are.
The change of all parameters are displayed during the fitting.
Measurement and simulation are brought to agreement.
The correlation matrix shows the quality of the fit.


A permaculture design workshop taught by Jesse Watson of Midcoast Permaculture and hosted by MFT at the Joseph A. Fiore Art Center, Jefferson.
While many of us think of fields and forests as separate places, food forests are systems that combine the production goals of agriculture with the layered and dynamic patterns we see in the forest. Explore this concept and practice its applications with Maine Farmland Trust and Jesse Watson of Midcoast Permaculture Design during a weekend Food Forest Design Intensive, May 4-6, 2018 at the Joseph A. Fiore Art Center at Rolling Acres Farm in Jefferson.
The Fiore Art Center and Veggies For All, both programs of MFT, have been working together for the past two years to envision a collaboration which would bring back active farming to Rolling Acres Farm, while simultaneously allowing for possible diversification of Veggies For All.
The workshop will focus on design and implementation of a hypothetical "food bank food forest" at the art center, using permaculture as the basis for our design. Permaculture is a design method and set of techniques for creating resilient human habitats while increasing ecosystem health. It is a synthesis of wise human behavior taken from both modern and ancient sources of inspiration.
Students often come away from our workshops with new ways of seeing, thinking, and acting in the world. We strive to give participants in our workshops a positive vision for the future and practical tools to make it so.
This course is good for beginners and seasoned gardeners alike. Orchardists, nursery people, and farmers interested in perennial crops will take a special interest in this alternative way of designing a perennial-based system.
Arrival is scheduled for Friday evening: 4-5:30 pm.
The course ends Sunday afternoon at 4 pm.
The workshop fee of $335 per person includes tuition, lodging in shared rooms, as well as all meals (except for our Friday evening potluck). Expected number of course participants: 10-18.
MFT members receive a 10% discount off the Regular Fee.
The scholarship positions for this course have been filled. Please contact anna@mainefarmlandtrust.org to inquire about alternatives.
For more information, contact Anna Witholt Abaldo, co-director of the Fiore Art Center by e-mail at anna@mainefarmlandtrust.org or call 207-338-6575, ext. 112.
Join MFT, Veggies For All & Unity Barn Raisers for a FREE screening of the new film, Wasted!
Every year 1.3 billion tons of food is thrown away. Wasted! explores the reasons for this waste and ways to fix the problem.
Wednesday, Sept. 6, Jock Robie from Mainely Worm Bins will be coming to Unity to lead a workshop on worm bins! He is an amazing wealth of knowledge on the topic of Vermiculture and how to care for your voracious red wigglers. He will be bringing all of the materials for ten worm bins to give away for FREE! Nine of those bins will go to the first nine participants to arrive and one will be held for a name-draw at the end.
No need to bring anything more than yourself and possibly a notebook for taking notes. Snacks and juice will be available during the event. You can find more details below.
What: How to build and care for a home worm bin!
What is a worm bin?!
A home or office worm bin is a fantastic way to make use of kitchen scraps, old newspaper, leaves, and many other materials within a worm's diet. When properly cared for, the bins do not emit an odor and the worms stay put in their happy homes! After just a short time, typically 3-4 months, the nutrient rich worm castings can be harvested and added to your home garden or indoor plants.
Join us next Wednesday to learn more! Jock Robie has many useful answers and suggestions as well as a very clever and replicable worm bin design.
Unity Barn Raisers and Veggies For All present Empty Bowls 2017, a benefit for the Volunteer Regional Food Pantry and the Western Waldo County Gleaning Initiative. Due to inclement weather the date has been changed from Tuesday, March 14, to Wednesday March 15, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Maine Farmland Trust's Unity Food Hub, 69 School St.
The public is invited to enjoy a simple soup dinner, take home a beautiful bowl and support hunger relief in the Unity area. Soups feature local ingredients sourced through the Unity Food Hub and are appropriate for a variety of dietary needs. Suggested donation of $10.00.
This event is sponsored by UniTel and supported by potters from Unity Pond Pottery, Unity College art department and others around the state.
For more information or to make a donation, contact Mary Leaming of Unity Barn Raisers, at 948-9005 or programs@unitybarnraisers.org. The Volunteer Regional Food Pantry is a 501(c)(3) community-operated food pantry providing emergency and supplementary food and services to those at risk of hunger in the Unity, Maine area. The goal of the VRFP is to increase quality of life through a focus on food security.
Unity Barn Raisers works pro-actively to enhance small-town character and rural environment, while nurturing a thriving community-based economy. UBR believes that a community working together can shape its own future and, in so doing, significantly advance the quality of life of its people, both now and for generations to come.
Veggies For All, a project of Maine Farmland Trust, is a food bank farm that works to relieve hunger by growing vegetables for those in need, while collaborating with partners to distribute and increase access to quality and nutritious food.
FEEDING MAINE: growing access to good food.
FEEDING MAINE is a traveling photo exhibit documenting some of the many people working for change in our communities across the state, with the hope that these efforts will continue to grow into a resilient food system that serves all Mainers. Photography by Brendan Bullock. Captions by Annie Aviles.
Plus hear from community leaders, from farm to food pantry, about innovative projects that address hunger in our state using local resources: rich farmland, skilled farmers, and community support. Time for networking & snacks provided!
Exhibit produced by: Maine Farmland Trust and Good Shepherd Food Bank of Maine. With: Food And Medicine, Veggies for All and other local food access projects!
If you see the phrase "food insecurity," you might picture scenes from distant places hit by the global food crisis: barren fields marked by drought, families fleeing wars, or people waiting in long ration lines. You might not picture Maine.
Yet more than 200,000 Mainers are food insecure. The term means hunger and scarcity; it also means lack of access to food that's fresh and healthy.
Meeting that need for good food is where Maine's farmers, workers, and volunteers come in. Our state already has the elements required to feed everyone who lives here: farmland, farmers, and people who are invested in forging ties between farms and low-income Mainers. By making fresh ingredients accessible to those who need them most, the projects featured here are also creating new opportunities for local farms—by opening up markets, diverting waste through farm donations and gleaning, and creating new customers by helping people learn to keep home gardens and cook with fresh ingredients.
This series is part of a larger photo project that seeks to document some of the many people working for change in their communities, with the hope that these efforts will continue to grow into a resilient food system that serves all Mainers. A joint collaboration between Maine Farmland Trust and Good Shepard Food Bank, the photo project will be shown around the state beginning in September 2015.
Veggies For All volunteers join in the harvest. They come from all over: this group includes Unity College students, volunteers from local food pantries, and VFA staff. From left to right: John Hoeltzel, Tim Libby, Anna Mason, and Trevanna Grenfell.

This past spring, Jim gave CSA members a special deal on share prices if they donated $25 to VFA; during the harvest party, he and his farm crew helped kick-start the event by donating their time to work with volunteers. Also pictured in the background are: Kelsey Schrey, a member of Jim Buckle's crew, and Sara Trunzo, VFA director.
as part of job training through the Youth Powered Catering program (YPC) run by St. Mary's Nutrition Center. Abdullahi is a senior at Lewiston High School, and plans to attend college after graduation. At YPC, he enjoys learning to prepare dishes from all over the world. "Before, I didn't really know that healthy food could also be delicious," he says. "And learning how to cook is handy because everyone needs to eat." Abdullahi also participates in St. Mary's urbanfarming program, and works at the year-round farmers market in Lewiston, which St. Mary's helped create.
Earlier this year, we teamed up with Free Range Music Series to kick-off of Veggies for All's 9th year of hunger relief with a breathtaking performance by William Joseph Jiordan and Henry Finch. Seems only natural to celebrate the end of the season with a rip-roarin' party. Hymn for Her are on the road with their new album, Drive Til U Die, and are going to detour through Unity to help us do this up right!
About the Band: Hymn for Her is Lucy and Wayne Waxing. Their newest release Drive Til U Die is more than an album title, it's a manifesto. A mantra. But to call this Americana duo and their daughter road warriors would be a misnomer; to them, the road isn't a battleground to conquer, it's their beloved home. A nomadic tribe of three, they dwell in a '61-vintage Bambi Airstream towed by a Ford van whose odometer shows nearly half a million miles – which, they proudly note, equals a trip to the moon. And back.
Please join us in Unity to celebrate the harvest, welcome new faces and appreciate the old standbys, and mark the sweetness of the season.
TICKETS: $10.00 in advance, $12.00 at the door.
The warm late summer has meant that our onion crop is drying quickly, turning the hundreds of pounds of onions we pulled a couple weeks ago into high quality storage vegetables that will keep well into the winter. We've also been busy harvesting peppers, carrots, and beets. All in all, we've raised and distributed over 3,600 lbs. of food so far this season thanks to the help of dozens of volunteers, and we're really just getting started.
Help us keep the harvest rolling by joining us next Tuesday 9/27 from 9 a.m. to noon for trimming our storage onions.
Workday is presumed on, rain or shine. For onion trimming we'll be working in a greenhouse that's likely to be very warm. Please dress appropriately and bring whatever you need to be comfortable in that day's conditions. If you have any questions, please call 207-322-1366 or e-mail kflack@mainefarmlandtrust.org.
Directions: head south from Unity on Albion Rd. about five miles until you see Waning Rd. on your left. Turn onto Waning Rd. then make your first (immediate) right into Grady Place. Follow the driveway toward and through the apple trees. You'll see large greenhouses on your left. We'll be in the one in the center. If you're using a GPS, the address is 1059 Albion Rd.
Thanks so much for your support. Hope to see you soon!
Join us at our School St. field TUESDAY 9/6 to bring in one of our best looking onion crops in recent memory. We have about 10,000 of them to pull and set to cure, so however you do the math, we need LOTS of hands to help.
We'll be working from 9 a.m. to Noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Please do not arrive expecting to work between noon and 1, as our crew and other volunteers will all be taking a well deserved break/lunch during that time.
This event is ON rain or shine. Please bring whatever you need to be comfortable in that day's conditions.
Each Wednesday throughout the growing season Veggies For All is welcoming volunteers to lend a hand toward the harvest from 9 a.m. to Noon. Tasks vary week to week, and could include planting cabbage, potatoes, onions, and winter squash, maintaining our peppers and beets, and generally staying on top of all of our most important farm chores. This collective effort from the community comes full circle in just a couple months when we start harvesting tons of food (literally) that wouldn't taste as sweet if it hadn't been raised with the help of friends and neighbors. Anyone interested in helping us #squashhunger can come to MFT's Unity office at 38 School St. any Wednesday at 9 a.m. For more information, contact VFA's Assistant Project Manager Khristopher Flack at kflack@mainefarmlandtrust.org.

Bettie Spencer Anderson, 1867-1948
This biography was originally released on August 17, 2021 as a part of our on going series titled: Vibrant Lives. Vibrant Stories.
Written by the Staff of The Michigan Street African American Heritage Corridor Commission
Mrs. Anderson was born in Lynchburg, Virginia a few years after the Civil War ended. Little is known about her early life, but she attended and graduated from the Hampton Institute. With her degree, she became an elementary school teacher until her marriage in 1893 to Mack G. Anderson. The couple moved north to New York City shortly after and had four children.
In 1908, the family relocated to Buffalo where Mr. Anderson established the Manhattan Hotel—Buffalo's first black hotel. Mr. Anderson was the proprietor of the men's-only hotel, which consisted of 31 guest rooms, a café, a bar, and a billiards room. It was located at 466 Michigan Street, near William Street, the hotel was a staple of the African American community in the Michigan Street Corridor.

With her husband running a successful business, Mrs. Anderson became heavily involved in the nearby Michigan Street Baptist Church, which became a meeting place for prominent civil rights activists W.E.B. Dubois, Booker T. Washington, and Mary B. Talbert. The latter becoming a close friend of Mrs. Anderson.
Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Talbert had quite a bit in common to bond over. Both had been successful teachers who gave up their profession to marry and both were dedicated to the Civil Rights Movement. Together, Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Talbert sponsored youth programs and taught Sunday School. When Mrs. Talbert formed the Phyllis Wheatley Club of Buffalo, Mrs. Anderson was one of the early members to join her.
Mrs. Anderson was elected as the Michigan Street Baptist Church clerk and served in that office from 1922-1943. In the early thirties, she became a member of the Deaconess Board.
Over the years, Mrs. Anderson witnessed many of her loved ones become ill. This prompted her to become the first minority person to enroll in the American Red Cross Home Nursing course, for which she received certification. She was able to assist local patients in their homes until her health began to decline.
Mrs. Anderson died in 1948 at the age of 81.

Siemens to Carve Out Large Drives Applications Unit
Reuters and Dow Jones report that Siemens is preparing a separation of its Large Drive Applications (LDA) business.
The German industrial and technology company will spin off the activities of its LDA division, which makes heavy-duty drive systems for ships, mines, and mills, into separate legal entities, a Siemens spokesman told Dow Jones Newswires.
"LDA is one of the leading players in the market and in a strong position overall and has performed very well in recent months," the spokesman said. "We have now decided to carve out the LDA activities into separate legal entities. We want to give this business additional autonomy and entrepreneurial freedom so that it can focus more sharply on its markets and customers."
The separation of the unit is the first step to a divestiture, Handelsblatt, a German newspaper, reported on Monday.
More than 7000 Siemens employees around the world including around 2200 in Germany will be affected by the move, Handelsblatt reported, citing sources at the company.
The unit is part of Siemens' so-called portfolio businesses – operations which the company wants to either improve or sell off in the future.
The company declined to give financial details of the business. The spokesman also declined to comment on further options for the business, and whether the spin-off was a prelude to finding a partner for LDA or selling the business outright.
The move would be the latest part of the reshaping of Siemens under CEO Roland Busch, who has concentrated on digital and software-based acquisitions since taking charge at the Munich-based company in February.
Siemens has focused on factory automation, transportation, and building technology in recent years, and exited sectors such as medical devices and power generation with the flotation of Siemens Healthineers and Siemens Energy.
"Weak margins and returns are a valid concern, as these metrics typically correlate strongly to forward multiples, but Siemens' future cash flow generation looks better," Stephen Simpson writes in a bullish analysis posted on Seeking Alpha.

SRS Partners with Office of Science to Host Data Recovery in Oak Ridge
Source: EM Update | DOE EM Newsletter | January 17, 2017
In a first for EM, the Savannah River Site (SRS) has partnered with DOE's Office of Science to host emergency data recovery capabilities at the Oak Ridge Site.
SRS management and operations contractor Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS) is responsible for the SRS information technology mission, overseeing primary and backup data centers within the site. DOE and SRNS recently decided that off-site backup is preferred to a prior policy calling for no data to leave the site.
"There was a concern that with our primary and backup data centers located on site about eight miles apart, a natural disaster or other catastrophic event could in fact impact both data centers," SRNS Chief Information Officer Jeff Krohn said. "We worked with the Department to identify a couple of locations in Oak Ridge. It's an optimal location because it's far enough away from SRS to meet our needs but it's also drivable from the site."
The DOE Savannah River Operations Office signed a memorandum of understanding with the Office of Science to enable the partnership. The data center managed by the Office of Science and Technical Information (OSTI) in Oak Ridge hosts copies of the applications for disaster recovery at SRS.
"We were very impressed with the OSTI facility," Krohn said. "They were a good fit because they have had more experience with multiple tenants, could provide the physical separation we needed for our dedicated servers and were ready to go from a bandwidth perspective. It was a great match for our needs."
Employees moved the data to the OSTI center over eight months in 2016. SRNS then tested the system and reported a successful transition.
"We are proud of this partnership with the Office of Science to make our data more secure and provide further protection against unforeseen events," Krohn said.


Cannot answer questions because the answer box does not show. What to do about this; Are we the only one's that have this problem?
That is a forum glitch.
Okay, so I'm going to have to explain 1 current glitch before I can get to your question properly. Number 1: there's a glitch here where current questions posted under the "Answer" tab are disappearing after about 3-4 hours leaving week-old questions on the list. Also, the "Discover" (trending) tab has not had any new questions either. They're also a week or more old. Or if you just scroll down long enough in any category on this website, then you'll eventually get to the week-old questions.
Number 2: That leads me to my next point, where I can now answer your question properly. There's something going on here where questions that have been posted for a week or more are unable to be answered. The answer box does not appear under the last answer on the page. So it's likely that you're seeing these week-old questions and are attempting to answer them but they're locked off. Another reason why you may not be able to answer a question is that the user has you blocked. Again, you won't see an answer box. Hope this helped.
Why yahoo is not allowing me to post this question? Please see the question in detail and try to post you will get error?
Why am I losing points on Yahoo when I'm. A seeker of truth who asks honest questions and answers truthfully?
You know what, Fuhr mind your own business you worthless garbage?
When a user's profile is suspended for a long time why do all of their answers and questions become anonymous?
Isn't it funny to hear the libtards still yarbling on about impeachment? Completely deluded, still in shock over Nov 2016 LOL?
So do people actually come on yahoo answers to answer questions or does everyone just come here to ask them?
The governments don't tell the truth about climate change ?

Entries categorized "DC Digest"
This week in Washington was a quiet one for CTE-related items. While the House was in recess, lawmakers were focused on announcing their first few committee hearings, determining further committee assignments, and holding conversations about the debt limit and potential environmental and tax legislation. The Senate is also out of session, returning Monday, January 23. We expect its focus to be on assigning senators to committees and announcing the first few hearings of the 118th Congress when it returns. As Washington kicks into high gear during the next few weeks and months, it will be a busy time for CTE advocates, so stay tuned for more news and resources to come! Here are your key updates this week:
House Determines Committee Balances, Names Appropriations Subcommittee Chairs for the 118th Congress: On January 16, House Republican Steering Committee leaders named their picks to join several top House committees, informally known as "A-list" committees. A list of Members joining the A-list committees can be found here. House Appropriations subcommittee chairs, known as the "cardinals," were also named. Read more here.
Department of Education Awards Grants to Support Postsecondary Students: Secretary Cardona has announced 38 grant awards totaling over $30 million to colleges and universities from the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE), which aims to improve higher education opportunities and outcomes for students from underrepresented communities. The grants will support postsecondary institutions, including many community and technical colleges, in advancing innovative and evidence-based strategies to better support their students, address students' basic needs, launch open textbook programs, improve campus resources for veterans and create opportunities for violence-impacted youth. Read more about the awards here.
Department of Education Awards Grants to High-Need Communities: The Department of Education has announced awards totaling more than $35 million for the Promise Neighborhoods and Project Prevent grant programs. Promise Neighborhoods grants provide coordinated support services and programs to students from low-income backgrounds at every stage of their education from early childhood through their careers. For fiscal year 2022, four new grants totaling $23 million will focus on the implementation of services in neighborhoods that have not yet received support through the program. Read more about the grants here.
Department of Education Releases Candidates for 2023 Presidential Scholars: The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program honors some of the nation's most distinguished graduating high school seniors, including those chosen as candidates for Presidential Scholar in CTE. View the complete list here.

The first full week of the 118th Congress has wrapped up. With Members of Congress now sworn in, focus is shifting to organizing committees and beginning work on legislation. In particular, there is already a lot of conversation over fiscal year 2024 funding levels and the debt ceiling. The Senate remains out of session until January 23, and the House will return to Washington on Monday, January 16.
ACTE will soon publish a resource on engaging in advocacy with freshmen Members of Congress. As the 118th Congress is getting underway, it is an important time for CTE advocates to begin getting to know these new members and think about developing relationships with them!
Updated: Investing in CTE Yields Big Returns: ACTE has updated its fact sheet about the economic benefits that CTE programs have for learners and communities across the country. The Investing in CTE map shows just a sampling of CTE's financial impacts across different states and localities. View the graphic here.
House Republicans Advance Rules, Committee Chairs: After Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was finally elected Speaker of the House early last Saturday morning, the new Republican majority in the House turned to other organizing activities necessary for the 118th Congress. Read more here.
House Education and Workforce Committee Republicans Begin Oversight: New House Education and the Workforce Committee Chair Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) has begun several promised oversight activities. Read her letter to Department of Education Secretary Miguel Cardona here.
New Proposed Income-Driven Student Loan Repayment Plan: The Department of Education has released a proposal to reform the existing income-driven student loan repayment plan. The plan would amend the terms of the Revised Pay As You Earn (REPAYE) plan to offer $0 monthly payments for any individual borrower who makes less than roughly $30,600 annually and any borrower in a family of four who makes less than about $62,400. The regulations would also cut in half monthly payments on undergraduate loans for borrowers who do not otherwise have a $0 payment in this plan. The proposed regulations would also ensure that borrowers stop seeing their balances grow due to the accumulation of unpaid interest after making their monthly payments.
Statement from Senate Appropriations Leaders on Appropriations Bills: Senators Patty Murray (D-WA) and Susan Collins (R-ME), the Senate Appropriations Committee's new Chair and Ranking Member, issued a joint statement on their bipartisan commitment to funding the government and passing the Senate's appropriations bills through regular order. Read the full statement here.
Department of Labor Awards Grants to Support Justice-Involved Young People: The Department of Labor has announced the award of $33 million in Growth Opportunities grants to programs in 11 states. Administered by the department's Employment and Training Administration, the second round of grants will enable 13 organizations to help justice-involved young people develop leadership skills, offer mentorship and provide education, training and paid work experiences.
As we begin the new year, the bulk of the focus has been on the vote for Speaker of the House. The swearing-in progress for House Members and other proceedings of the 118th Congress in the House were temporarily halted until Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was finally elected speaker early Saturday morning.
The U.S. Senate did return to Washington on January 3 to swear in its new members, but Senate now remains out of session until January 23. As we await more news from Washington, here are some key updates:
Election Watch: Introducing the New Senators-elect: In the 118th Congress, seven new senators-elect will take office. While we will learn more about their education and workforce development priorities as the 118th Congress kicks off, several of the senators-elect have discussed CTE-related issues and priorities in their campaigns. To help CTE advocates prepare to meet these new senators, here is a preview of their public statements and/or plans for education as they begin their service.
Reflecting on the Accomplishments of Senator Portman and Representative Langevin: Former Congressional CTE Caucus co-chairs Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) and Rep. Jim Langevin (D-RI) have departed from their offices to begin their well-earned retirement. The two public servants have dedicated large parts of their career to advancing the needs of CTE learners, educators and systems, earning them each an ACTE Lifetime Achievement Award this year. Learn more about their accomplishments here.
2022 Year-in-Review Legislative Update: As the new 118th Congress organizes, ACTE's Public Policy team looks back at 2022 and the final year of the 117th Congress with a summary of CTE-related federal policy activities in 2022, and a preview of what to expect in 2023. Read the update here.
Military Spouse Licensing Relief Act Signed into Law: The Military Spouse Licensing Relief Act - endorsed by ACTE - was included in H.R. 7939, the Veterans Auto and Education Improvement Act of 2022. This bill passed both chambers and was signed into law in December 2022. This is a significant victory for CTE teachers and military families. Read ACTE's statement endorsing the bill here.
Committee Leadership Update: Sen. Bernie Sanders has been informally announced as the new Chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, and it is still expected that Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) will serve as Ranking Member of the HELP Committee.

DC Digest: December 11-18
Last week in Washington, the focus was still on negotiating a funding package in order to avert a government shutdown as Congress heads out of town for the holidays. In addition to appropriations work, Congress passed the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), and President Biden later signed the bill into law. Other focuses last week included statehood for Puerto Rico, immigration and tax provisions.
The 118th Congress will begin right after the new year, on January 3. In the meantime, here are some updates from Washington:
FY23 Appropriations Update: On December 15, Congress passed a one-week extension of government funding until December 23, which is the new deadline for completing an omnibus funding package for FY23. The next steps for lawmakers and appropriations staff members will be to introduce legislative text of the omnibus agreement, which is expected on December 19, followed by formal Senate and House approval of the package by the December 23 deadline.
Introducing Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici, New Co-Chair of House CTE Caucus: On December 16, Reps. Jim Langevin (D-RI) and Glenn "GT" Thompson (R-PA) announced that Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR) will become the new co-chair of the bipartisan House CTE Caucus! She will be taking the place of Rep. Langevin, who is retiring after 22 years in Congress, 11 of which he spent leading the caucus. Read press releases from ACTE and Rep. Langevin here. Learn more about the Congressional CTE Caucus here.
A Deep Dive into Perkins V Enrollment and Performance Data: In October, the U.S. Department of Education released data from states' Consolidated Annual Report (CAR) submissions for program year 2020-21 – the first year that states reported performance data under Perkins V. The dataset includes CTE participant numbers, CTE concentrator numbers and CTE concentrator performance on Perkins accountability indicators, including the secondary program quality indicators new under Perkins V. Read more here.
Election Watch: Teacher Shortage Legislation in the 118th Congress: This year, amid growing concern over teacher shortages across the country, Congress increased its focus on the educator pipeline through hearings and legislation. However, with personnel changes in the House and Senate and new education committee leaders, the 118th Congress will offer a different political dynamic that will impact how the federal government may respond to national teacher shortages.

Much of the attention in Washington this week was on the FY 23 appropriations process, which is yet to be resolved (see more below). In addition to appropriations work, the House passed the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which is now awaiting Senate approval. Congress also passed and President Biden later signed legislation codifying federal recognition of same-sex marriage.
The 118th Congress will begin right after the new year, on January 3. To prepare for the start of the new Congress, ACTE will be sharing more information on the impact of the election on CTE, including information on committee leadership, new Members of Congress and other resources relevant to CTE stakeholders. In the meantime, here are some updates from Washington:
Discussions Continue on FY 23 Appropriations Bills: Congress has yet to agree on non-defense spending levels for fiscal year 2023, meaning that lawmakers will need to pass a short-term extension of government funding before expiration of government funding on December 16. The short-term extension, known as a "continuing resolution," would temporarily fund the government at fiscal year 2022 levels until a larger framework for fiscal year 2023 is agreed upon. Timing on a final agreement is still unclear, and a resolution may not arrive until after the congressional holiday recess, or perhaps at the very beginning of the 118th Congress in January. There was some positive news over the weekend about the negotiations, and bipartisan, bicameral conversations continue.
Department of Education Hosts National STEM Coordinating Conference: The Department of Education hosted the YOU Belong in STEM National Coordinating Conference in Washington, DC, as a kickoff to the "Raise the Bar: STEM Excellence for All Students" initiative. ACTE's Public Policy Department was in attendance and participated in the conference. You can read more about the conference and initiative here.
Department of Labor Youth Systems Building Academy Announcement: The Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is inviting workforce communities to nominate themselves to be a part of the Youth Systems Building Academy (YSBA), which will provide local workforce systems and their community partners with training and technical assistance to explore, design, test, implement or scale system-level approaches to engage and support young people in the workforce. Applications are due before Friday, January 13, 2023, at 5:00PM (ET). You can find more information at the link here.
JOBS Act Letter to Capitol Hill: ACTE joined coalition partners to send a letter to appropriations leaders on Capitol Hill urging them to include language similar to the JOBS Act in any fiscal year 2023 omnibus funding package.
Department of Education Releases Updated ESSER and GEER FAQs: On December 7, the Department of Education released updated guidance in the form of new "frequently asked questions" related to spending under the COVID-relief focused Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief and Governor's Emergency Education Relief Programs.
DC Digest: November 21-December 4
Lawmakers return from the Thanksgiving recess with a packed agenda to complete before adjourning for the year. There are less than two weeks until government funding expires on December 16, but discussions on fiscal year 2023 appropriations bills are proceeding slowly.
In addition to appropriations, the House plans to vote on a version of the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) during the coming week, among other priorities such as immigration and green card reform. The House will also hold a vote to codify the federal government's recognition of same-sex marriage.
Student Loan Repayment Pause Extended: Following announcement of the Supreme Court's plans to consider the Biden Administration's federal student loan debt relief program, the Biden Administration extended the payment pause on all federal student loans until 60 days after the Department of Education is permitted to implement the program or the litigation is resolved. If the program has not been implemented and the litigation has not been resolved by June 30, 2023, payments will resume 60 days after that. Read more about the extension here.
Fiscal Year 2023 Appropriations Update: Government funding talks for fiscal year 2023 appear to be locked in a standstill, with appropriations leaders in both parties at odds over the total amount of non-defense spending to be included in the omnibus spending package, which will have a significant impact on the funding available for education and workforce development programs. ACTE continues to monitor the appropriations process and will urge Congress to support the maximum investment possible in the Perkins Basic State Grant. ACTE's coalition partner, the Committee for Education Funding, also sent a letter to Capitol Hill urging swift resolution of the funding impasse and the largest possible investment in education programs.
Department of Labor Announces Grant Opportunity to Support Pre-Apprenticeship: The Department of Labor has announced $90 million in YouthBuild Program grants to support pre-apprenticeships in high-demand industries including construction, health care, information technology and hospitality. Applications for funding will close on February 7, 2023. For more details and a complete list of eligible applicants, visit the link here.
Republicans Claim Narrow House Control: In late November, Republicans were declared winners in enough midterm races to reach 218 seats in the House of Representatives, the minimum number needed to flip the chamber to their control in the 118th Congress. Read more about this development here.
DC Digest: November 14-20
Congress returned to Washington last week for the first time since the mid-term elections. Lawmakers in both parties held several leadership elections, but formal announcements for party leadership are still forthcoming. Appropriations leaders also reportedly aim to have a fiscal year 2023 appropriations framework completed by Thanksgiving, but there has been no budget framework publicly released and we expect negotiations on the appropriations bills to continue into December. ACTE continues to urge Congress to support a $200 million increase to the Perkins Basic State Grant for fiscal year 2023. In addition to appropriations work, the Senate also advanced legislation to codify the right to same-sex marriage during the week, provide retirement benefits to first responders and support access to communication services for domestic violence survivors.

Famed aviator Amelia Earhart may have survived her round-the-world attempt only to be later captured by Japanese forces, according to a newly discovered photograph.
Investigators behind a new History channel documentary believe the trailblazing American pilot is pictured in a photo found in a National Archives file. The image purportedly shows Earhart alive after her plane fell low on fuel during her mission to become the first woman to circumnavigate the globe.
The photo depicts a woman, believed to be Earhart, and a man who closely resembles her navigator, Fred Noonan, on a dock. A Japanese ship can be seen in the background carrying what appears to be Earhart's plane.
Former FBI Executive Assistant Director Shawn Henry dives into the new possible clue in a two-hour History special called Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence, which premieres Sunday.
Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, achieving the feat in 1932. She vanished somewhere over the Pacific Ocean on July 2, 1937, after her plane ran low on fuel on her round-the-world trip. Her fate has been debated for decades and has sparked several conspiracy theories.
