I don't know who the Redskins want to draft at #2, and don't care. All I know is that I think Tannehill projects better to the NFL than Griffin does... no matter where they're drafted.
I pay close attention to footwork, that's where a quarterback is made. It is the source of accuracy.
Your footwork dominates everything that you do in any sport at any position... none moreso than the quarterback position. I like to see a QB's footwork tied in to what his eyes are seeing. If you understand the concepts of READ, PURE, and KEY progressions within the structure of a particular offense, focusing on the footwork alone will tell you whether the decision (throw) was correct or not based on the coverage, leverage, and the defender the quarterback was keying.
This becomes much more clouded when you're evaluating a QB who operates strictly from the shotgun, as footwork doesn't apply as much. It's not required in non-sophisticated passing offenses. College coaches are limited in the amount of practice time available to them (20 hours a week). They only coach what's essential to making their particular system work.
Baylor's offense under Art Briles is a very non-sophisticated system. It's a simple MOFO/MOFC "Read" key off the 4-verticals Run-&-Shoot concept. Switch and Choice might occassionally be the sight adjustments by the WR and QB. That right there tells you that there are no pure progressions in the offense. I could go further, but the point is that Griffin is going to have to learn progressions, and the proper footwork. After he learns these two, he then has to marry them together.
Everyone sees the highlights and thinks he's a franchise quarterback, but they don't understand what a project he is on a down-to-down basis. There's no question he's talented, and a supremely gifted athlete. But he gets sacked once every 14 dropbacks, which is by far the worst ratio of any of the top 10-15 QB's in this draft. It's because he runs himself into sacks trying to get outside the pocket. I don't like that.
Tannehill has better pocket presence and footwork, combined with understanding how to tie his footwork in to what his eyes are seeing. It's a result of playing under center in a pro-style, West Coast Offense. He was required to make more "NFL throws" on a down to down basis than any QB in this class other than Andrew Luck. "NFL throws" meaning, progression followed by the result of the throw having to be traced back to his footwork. It has nothing to do with arm strength, which is what most people think that means.
The bottom line for me is this... other than Andrew Luck, I don't see any "franchise" quarterbacks in this draft. People have become far too liberal with the terms "franchise" and "quarterback". It basically applies to any and every Big-12 quarterback that the media hypes up nowdays.
Beyond Luck, I see a bunch of quarterbacks that can be lumped into a couple of different tiers together for various reasons. But I don't see any franchise changers. There's nobody that I'm absolutely sold on, or would put my job on the line for.
I think a couple of these kids have a chance to end up decent starting quarterbacks if they're developed properly and are able to overcome their flaws through being students of the game and working at their craft.

|Stowe VT's von Trapps and the Sound of Music
Johannes von Trapp is handing over management of the famous Stowe VT lodge to his son Sam.
Fortunately, finding Vermont travel topics is easy. Unfortunately, there are so many of them that I can't get to them all.
I have a stack of Vermont information so large, I think I could write several hours a day and never exhaust the ever-growing list. As a result, items linger and I have to weed them out as they become less timely. This blog entry is about just one of those items.
A few weeks ago on Christmas eve, the New York Times ran an article about the real von Trapp family of Stowe. Nearly everyone in this country has heard of them and probably seen the movie. And judging by the number of guests at our inn, many people are big fans of the movie even though it is now about 40 years old.
But, as the article explains, there is quite a difference between the fictional family of the movie and the real von Trapps. The story is based on real people and real events but it takes quite a few liberties with the story.
The Trapp family lodge in Stowe is a very large facility now and does not have the quaintness that some visitors are expecting. However, it is a beautiful place in a magnificent setting with great views. There is an excellent cross country facility there (the only one around here that makes it own snow), they have sleigh rides in the winter, and in the summer the meadows are used for outdoor concerts. It is worth a visit if you are in the area.
Sam von Trapp, grandson of the famous Maria, is now taking over from his father Johannes. Even though he is far removed from the original story, the article makes it clear that he understands the family's appeal to many fans.
If you have not visited Stowe yet, you may be surprised to see that there are a number of lodging facilities and homes there that have Austrian architecture. Even our inn, the Grunberg Haus is built in Tyrolean style and we are about ten miles from Stowe. The von Trapps were not the only Austrians attracted to the mountains here. And people from other mountainous countries such as Sweden and Switzerland found their way here as well.

I've unzipped zip files for custom kernels and noticed that the majority of the files that are being applied are in a /kernel folder. However that folder is unlisted when listing the root directories using both Root Explorer and ES File Explorer. Where is this /kernel folder?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Android Enthusiasts Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for enthusiasts and power users of the Android operating system. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The kernel is part of the "boot image", which is stored in a separate partition in the flash memory, not in a normal file. See http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images
May be you can explain a little bit more on what you are trying to do.. Also, if you can list those custom kernel files, we can help better.

Look Before You Lock: Prevent Child Heatstroke in Cars
By Katherine Beckmann, Ph.D., M.P.H., Senior Policy Analyst for Early Childhood Health and Development
As temperatures across the country continue to escalate above average highs, it is more important than ever to understand the health effects for children. Infants and young children are particularly sensitive to the effects of extreme heat and must rely on others to keep them safe. In fact, when left in a hot vehicle, a young child's body temperature may increase three to five times as quickly as an adult.
On average, every 10 days a child dies from heatstroke in a vehicle (http://www.safekids.org/heatstroke). These deaths are preventable, and everyone in the community – especially parents and Head Start and child care providers – have roles to play in protecting our children.

|Intercoms and Door Phones - Systems, Stations & Accessories
Intercom systems are an excellent way to communicate with your family, eliminating the need to raise your voice whenever you need to speak with someone.

|Vermont Balloon Rally at Shelburne Museum Sept 4 - 7
Here's another reason to visit the Shelburne Museum, a magnificent facility that I consider a must-see in Vermont.
This Labor Day weekend, the Vermont Balloon Rally will be held on the grounds of the museum from September 4 through 7. About 30 balloons are expected to attend.
Spectators will be allowed to walk among the balloons and watch the flights each day early mornings and late afternoons. Children are no only allowed, they're encouraged to come see this colorful event. There will also be face painting, bounce house, free rides on the museum's antique carousel, nighttime balloon glow and a balloon walkabout where kids and adults can actually walk through a partially inflated balloon lying on the ground.
Rides will be offered including tethered rides and full flight rides. If you would like to do a full flight, it's best to make reservations in advance which you can do on the website.
Thanks to some generous corporate sponsorship, prices for the event are very low: children 12 and younger are free; children 13 and older (yes, that includes adults) are $7 for a four day pass. Or, just pay $20 for a carload up to a maximum of 6 people. The value of the museum and this event far exceeds those prices.
The Shelburne Museum is located Route 7 a few miles south of Burlington on the shore of Lake Champlain. This Google map has it on the wrong (east) side of the road but it will get you close enough.

|Vermont Travel Videos on MSN
MSN has an online video series hosted by Andrew Zimmern in which he travels around the country recording interesting places to visit, usually focused on food. Zimmern was host of the Travel Channel show, "Bizarre Foods" and now hosts Travel Channel's "Bizarre World" in addition to being a chef, writer, and teacher.
Zimmern was recently in my area of Vermont to visit Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, Little River Hotglass Studio, and Cold Hollow Cider Mill. He doesn't just visit though - he gets right into production, creating his own Ben & Jerry's flavor in the test room, blowing a glass jar at Little River Hotglass, and making cider doughnuts at Cold Hollow.
These Appetite for Life. episodes are a good way to get some behind-the-scenes views of popular attractions in Vermont and elsewhere.

Here is the tour schedule: Wednesday, August 26, 7:30 p.m., Big Picture Theater & Cafe, Waitsfield. $5 cover charge.
Thursday, August 27, 9:00 p.m., Positive Pie restaurant, Montpelier, VT. $5 cover charge.

Saturday, August 29, 8:30 p.m., On the Rise Bakery, Richmond, VT. $5 cover charge.
Wednesday, September 2, 7:30 p.m., One Half Lounge, Burlington, VT. $5 cover
At all these events except the September 2 performance, the Ford Fiesta will be on display.
The Fiestavus Vermont Comedy Tour was created by native Vermonters Nathan Hartswick and Ford Fiesta "agent" Seth Beck.
For a preview of what to expect from the comedians (some R rated material by the way), you can take a look at the Vimeo or YouTube videos.

|Alchemist Brewpub Update
The Alchemist Brewery and Pub is one of the most popular spots in this area for tourists and residents alike. Anyone who is a beer lover should put The Alchemist on your must-do list (bucket list?). It's located on South Main Street in Waterbury VT.
To keep up with what brewer John Kimmich is preparing, you can subscribe to the blog RSS feed. A recent entry talks about the gluten free offerings as well as other Summer Time Beers. John started preparing gluten free beer and food offerings after his wife and co-owner Jennifer discovered she needs to consume gluten-free products.
The food there is excellent so be sure to give it a try too. Executive Chef Jeff Lang uses a lot of locally grown fresh produce in his imaginative menu which you can look over on the website before you arrive.

|Vermont Moose
Mad River Glen moose population has grown by two this year.
One of the most frequent questions we get here at the inn is "where can we go to see a moose?" There are several areas nearby where the possibility is greater but sighting a moose is a rare occurrence even for people who live and work in the forests.
The moose photo at the top of this Vermont Travel Notes blog is a good example. It was taken by a guest in early November several years ago while he was driving on Route 100 between Warren and Granville VT, a popular place to spot moose because of the swampy areas alongside the road. It's not a particularly good photo because he quickly took the shot through the car windshield. He got some better quality photos after he stopped the car and got out but by then the moose was into the woods and walking away so the angle of the photo does not work well. But he was lucky to see it at all. If he had left here a minute earlier or a minute later he would have missed the moose entirely. That's moose spotting for you (or seeing any unusual wildlife for that matter).
I have seen two moose this year but that is very unusual. Most years I don't see any. We have one walking through our property about once a month but we never see it. He or she comes through late at night and all we see are the footprints the next day.
Last winter, we had a few skier guests tell us of seeing a moose near the trails at Mad River Glen. One of them even hit the moose after coming around a corner and seeing it standing right in front of him. He reacted fast enough to squat down so he only bumped the moose a little bit. It must not have bothered the moose too much because it merely looked at the skier for a moment and then walked slowly into the woods.
The moose above may be the same one and, as you can see, it's a female with two calves it had this year. This moose photo and other Mad River Glen photos can be seen on the Gallery page at the Mad River Glen web site.
So, if you want to go moose spotting, the best area is the most remote part of Vermont, the Northeast Kingdom as it's known. Just try the roads around the town of Island Pond. Even if you don't see a moose, it's a beautiful area to do some sight seeing. Stop in some of the local country stores and ask around about where people have seen moose lately.

|Burlington Sunset Over Lake Champlain
Photo by John Hughes
We often recommend Burlington to our guests and, if they decide to go, we suggest they stay up there to watch the sunset over Lake Champlain. This photo is a good example of why. It's from my favorite photoblog, Megapickles, which has a new photo every day by St Michael's College professor John Hughes. I highly recommend bookmarking the site and checking it frequently. I've been following it for years and it consistently has great work.

WorkCoach is a program that helps you keep track of how you spend your time on the pc, and coaches you in doing what you plan to do.
The program keeps track of the application you are using, and of the text in the window title of that application (the text displayed in the title bar). You can define projects and tie those to certain programs and window titles. For example, you can define a project "Work on my report" and tell WorkCoach you are working on that project if the application is "winword" (Microsoft Word) and the title bar contains "My report.doc". The program will display the time spent on each project in its status window.
What's new in this version?
WorkCoach - v0.8.0 - January 24, 2007
- Fixed: If the window title is not set for a rule, that rule does NOT match everything for the given application, but everything that is not defined elsewhere.
- You can now set a daily time budget for each project. If a time budget is set, the time left is shown in the status window. Projects that have a time budget set are shown in bold.
- Added option "count idle time towards project". If this option is set for a project and the user becomes idle while the project is active, time will be counted towards that project instead of towards the "Idle" project. This is useful when for example watching a movie on the computer. (Suggested by Seriema.)
- You can now define the time at which WorkCoach rolls over to the next day. For example, if this time is set to 3:00 (a.m.), everything you do between 0:00 and 2:59 is counted towards the previous day. Rolling over to the next day didn't work at all in the previous version; it should now. :-)
- The time in seconds after which idle time is counted can now be configured by the user.
- The hotkey that shows/hides the WorkCoach window can now be configured by the user.
- There is now an option in the program to make WorkCoach start on Windows startup or not.
- The project log is now saved to a file (projectlog-YYYYMMDD.xml, where YYYYMMDD is the date) so it can be used for reports.
- If you click on the tray icon, the window is shown/hidden.
- Total time spent and percentage of time spent on planned projects is now shown in the status bar.
- You can now properly edit projects notes from the status window by selecting a project. If the status window does not have focus, the notes for the active project are shown.
- The tray icon tooltip now shows the active project, time spent and the name of the active application. The latter is useful if you want to define a rule but don't know the name of the application.
Note: Also see this message for an overview of the new features!
For a complete change log, see the end of this message.
Installing the program
If you had already installed a previous version of WorkCoach, you do not have to uninstall it first.
If you were using version 0.7.5 or earlier and want to keep using your data, you have to copy it to <user>\Application Data\WorkCoach. See the instructions presented after installation for more information.
Simply run the installer (workcoach-x.x.x-install.exe) to install the program. The program requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 to run. If it's not installed, the installer will tell you and ask you if you want to be directed to the download page.
Using the program
After you've started the program, the status window will be displayed. In this window you can see how much time you've spent on each project on that day. There are two "special projects": the projects "Unknown" and "Idle".
If an application and/or window title is active that hasn't been assigned to a project, WorkCoach will count the time towards the "Unknown" project. If you haven't been active (used the keyboard or mouse) for 1 minute, time will be added to the "Idle" project.
Defining projects and rules
The program comes with a few sample projects and rules to get you started. You can adjust them or delete them to your own wishes. Look at the rules of the sample projects and read their notes to see how the rules work. The sample project file can also be found in the WorkCoach installation folder, so it can always be restored later.
You can edit projects and rules as well as program options by right clicking on the WorkCoach icon in the Window tray and choosing "Settings". There are three tabs:
In the tab "Projects" you can define your projects and edit notes for each project.
In the tab "Rules" you can define the rules that define which applications and window titles belong to which project. Every rule can contain one ore more application names (without extension) and one or more terms that the window title should contain.
Example: the rule in the screenshot above means: I'm working on the project "Surfing donationcoder.com" if the application name is "firefox" or "iexplore" and the title of the window contains "Donationcoder" or "Recent topics".
Note that the application names have to be exact matches, and that the window title are partial matches, i.e. the program checks if any of the terms are contained in the window title. If no window title matches are defined, the project is active anytime the given application(s) is/are active.
All matches are case insensitive.

When i started at the job im at now my shop foreman gave me a box and told me to bring it to the shop manager unbeknown to me the contents of the box was a thing of nozzle dip, some knee pads, and a paper towel... so the manager had me open the box for him while i was in his office... he told me either get busu or get back to work...
We hired a new guy recently not a green horn but new to the shop. We wired in a car horn to the radio.. we told him to go plug in the radio and turn it on... poor guy in his early 50's or so just about had a heart attack.
We got together in the shop to prank our manager has not happened yet.... i just bought the stuff to pull off the prank. Bossman likes to sit on his lazy ass in his air conditioned office all day and play games on his phone... so we figured a pretty good way to get him out of the office would be to spray some doe piss in his a/c....ill let yall know the results of how that works out for us on Monday
We got a temp one day and my boss brought him over to me and said dont let him touch a thing, hes gone tommorrow. Well he wanted to help so i hand him a 4inch grinder and tild him to grind these welds flush. He takes the grinder and starts pushing it like a file on the weld going back and foward. Hes moving the cord out of his way and everything. He looks up at me and says this takes a while huh. I was in disbelief just starring at him. I was pry a jerk though because instead of helping him i had to go get someone else to check this out. Mind you that the grinder was not plugged in the whole time. I dont know about u guys but even if ive never used somthing before and it has a cord id kinda figure it needed to be plugged in.

The old stick flux down the shirt is a good one! My old foreman used to do this one to me... after welding on a fitting or Hard line to a hydraulic cylinder he would take out the oil can and out a drop and let it start to run before he called me over as he was testing it.
We had a new guy who was more confident in his abilities than he should have been so almost anytime he ran out of wire/gas, the machinists and i would either turn off his gas, turn his voltage all the way down, turn off the feeder disconnect the remote leads/remote wire. Good kid for putting up with it so much, and he did level out but was sent packing for missing too many days

SSAE 16 Resource Guide Blog
Texas HB 300 training requirements include employee and workforce member training for all Texas covered entities. It's without question a comprehensive piece of legislation that's fundamentally even more strict than the federally mandated HIPAA requirements. The solution recommended is texashb300training.org. SSAE 16 reporting requirements are also now becoming an essential compliance mandate for many Texas covered entities, so learn more about SSAE 16 from the Official SSAE 16 Resource Guide, developed by NDB Accountants & Consultants.
Need a quick SSAE 16 summary or primer on the new standard put forth by the Auditing Standards Board (ASB) of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)? If so, take note of the following SSAE 16 summary areas: 1. SSAE 16 has effectively replaced SAS 70. SAS 70, which was put forth in April of 1992 is no longer an auditing standard in use. This is critically important as it represents one of the most significant changes in reporting on controls for service organizations. For the first time in almost twenty years, we have a new "attest" standard for reporting. 2. SSAE 16 is part of a much bigger, broader change. That's right, not only did SSAE 16 replace SAS 70, but an entirely new reporting platform for service organizations has been introduced. Known as Service Organization Control (SOC) reports, organizations can now opt for SOC 1, SOC 2, and/or SOC 3 reporting. 3. Learn about the new SOC reporting options. The new AICPA alphabet of reporting on controls at service organizations can seem a little confusing, but for an ounce of clarity, try and remember the following for your SSAE 16 summary primer:
- SOC 1 reports are to use the SSAE 16 standard and should generally be issued when there is a true and credible link or "nexus" to the internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) concept.
- SOC 2 and SOC 3 reports are a great choice for the growing number of cloud computing and Software as a Service (SaaS) based entities.
4. Learn about the written statement of assertion and the description of the service organization's "system". In short, the written statement of assertion requires management to effectively "assert" to a number of clauses regarding the actual assessment performed by a practitioner (i.e., CPA). Additionally, the description of the "system" requires management of the service organization to comprehensively document their "system". That's a brief SSAE 16 summary for you, thus if you want to learn more about Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16, visit the official SSAE 16 Resource Guide, developed by NDB Accountants & Consultants, a nationally recognized PCAOB CPA firm. Lastly, if you are in need of SSAE 16 services at a competitive, fixed-fee, contact NDB directly at 1-800-277-5415, ext. 706.
SSAE 16 Certification is a phrase I keep hearing over and over again. It's not really a huge issue, but for an ounce of technical clarity, there is no such thing as SSAE 16 certification, just as there was no such thing as SAS 70 certification. Both of these phrases were born out of a true misunderstanding of the historical SAS 70 auditing standard and the current SSAE 16 attest standard. Technically speaking, SSAE 16 is an attestation standard put forth by the Auditing Standards Board (ASB) of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), for which a practitioner (i.e., service auditor) uses the standard to perform an attest engagement for a service organization, resulting in the issuance of a service auditor's report on controls. There is no designation, certification, award, confirmation, or any other type of validation for an actual SSAE 16 assessment. It's best to summarize that a service organization simply undertakes an assessment in accordance with the SSAE 16 standard, resulting in the issuance of report with a stated opinion, generally unqualified, by a CPA firm as part of the report. So, if you hear the term SSAE 16 certification, you can politely remind your colleagues or other interested parties that this technically incorrect. With that said, if your organization is seeking a well-qualified, cost-effective provider for SSAE 16 assessment services, then contact NDB Accountants & Consultants, a nationally recognized PCAOB CPA firm, at 1-800-277-5415, ext. 706. Additionally, if you want to learn more about SSAE 16, visit the official SSAE 16 Resource Guide, developed by NDB, where you can learn more about the following essential information:
Sure, this site is all about SSAE 16 and the new SOC standards, but I wanted to take this time and give you a link to a really neat site.

This is a wonderful site with a wealth of information on one of the world's most admired dog breeds. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks!
Service Organization Control (SOC) Reports, more commonly known as SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3, as you may or may not be well aware of by now, represent the new framework put forth by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) for reporting on controls at service organizations. SOC 1, is essentially tied to service organizations for which reporting is ICFR based, that is, internal controls related to financial reporting. SOC 2 and SOC 3, however, represent a sincere and genuine attempt by the AICPA to meet the growing demands and complexities of reporting on controls for service organizations OUTSIDE that of ICFR. In essence, it's a move to correct the misguided efforts by many who used the SAS 70 standard in an incorrect manner. Will it work? Well, the early signs are not that encouraging as I've seen recent press releases for data centers and managed services entities becoming SSAE 16 "certified" or "compliant". And by the way, the terms "certified" and "compliant" are grossly incorrect, for which you can learn more about how this has really irked the AICPA. Did they simply forget about SOC 2 and SOC 3? Are their clients simply sold on the merits of out with one standard (SAS 70), in with the new (SSAE 16), without being educated on the SOC framework? Have we as CPA's along with the AICPA not done enough to educate service organizations? Well, I think it's a little of everything. I'm still hopeful that this "problem" will correct itself. I can already see the technical arguments, or rather, excuses, for issuing a SSAE 16 Type 1 or Type 2 report for a data center, managed services entity, or some other cloud type infrastructure....and here they are: "Well, that's what our clients wanted, so we used the SSAE 16 standard". Or how about this one, for which I"m hearing alot of: "Hey, if the controls are "likely relevant" to ICFR, then we can issue an SSAE 16 Type 1 or Type 2". Or, the one that takes the cake is this one: Nobody is taking SOC 2 and AT Section 101 seriously yet, so for now, I'll just fall in line and do what most other firms are doing and going right from SAS 70 to SSAE 16".
SOC 3 Reports also address Reporting on Controls relevant to Security, Availability, Processing integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy in accordance with general predefined criteria within theTrust Service Principles. Please note that these reports are to be prepared using the AICPA and the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Trust Services Principles, Criteria, and Illustrations for Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.
The framework for the Trust Services Principles has been around for quite some time, yet curiously, never really caught on as many would of imagined. Lastly it is considered a general use report and comes with a public seal. And much like SOC 2 reports, SOC 3 reports also use AT Section 101 as the professional standard for service auditor guidance. It will be interesting in the coming years how notable SOC 3 reports become in comparison to SOC 1 and SOC 2 reports.
To learn more about SOC 3 reporting standards and all other regulatory compliance services provided, please contact Chris Nickell, CPA, at 1-800-277-5415, ext. 706.
SOC 2 reports, which will come to be known as Reporting on Controls Relevant to Security, Availability, Processing integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy, are to be conducted in accordance with AT Section 101. Thus, SOC 2 will effectively insert itself as the primary reporting option to be used for service organizations reporting on controls outside the scope of financial reporting. In simpler terms, Software as a Service (SaaS) companies, software development entities, cloud computing organizations, data centers, managed services, and many more, will be using the SOC 2 framework for reporting on controls. And much like SOC 1 reporting, a service organization can either be issued two (2) type of SOC 2 reports, a Type 1 and a Type 2.
If you stop and think about it, this is quite significant for a number of reasons. First and foremost, the SOC 2 framework is specifically geared towards the exponential growth of technology and security related service organizations, of which many provide outsourcing services to user entities. Second, it hopefully will correct a huge misunderstanding within the business community at large; the myth that SAS 70 was an all-in-one reporting standard for any type of service organization. As you now know, this is simply untrue and we now have an acceptable and viable reporting option for controls outside the scope of financial reporting.
Lastly, SOC 2 reports are designed to address generally the following key system attributes and traits:
- Availability: That the system is available for operation and use as committed or agreed.
- Security: That the system is protected against unauthorized access, both physically and logically.
- Processing Integrity: That System processing is complete, accurate, timely, and authorized.
- Confidentiality: That the information held by an organization is securely protected.
- Privacy: That personal information is protected.
As a service organization, you will need to evaluate your current compliance requirements and commitments to your customers and start to ask yourself what reporting option do "we" fall under, SOC 1, SOC, or even SOC 3? If you have been receiving SAS 70 audit reports from your CPA firm in the past, what do your customers expect in the future? More importantly, what is the correct SOC reporting framework that "we" should adhere to? NDB Accountants and Consultants can help answer these pressing questions regarding the new compliance requirements with the SOC framework.
When you add it all up, phrases like SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, SSAE 16, and AT Section 101 can become quite confusing. Get the facts and speak to an expert. Call Chris Nickell, CPA, directly at 1-800-277-5415, ext. 706 to get the answers you need. Furthermore, you can email Chris at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Tereson Dupuy invented FuzziBunz ® in 1999 after her son, Eden, suffered from chronic diaper rash. Chemicals from disposable diapers irritated his skin. She faced the challenge of inventing a product that would keep her baby dry, be easy to clean and care for, prevent leaks as good as or better than disposables, and still be more economical than disposables and other cloth diaper options. She was looking for a real diapering option to fit her modern lifestyle. She developed her own diapering system by handstitching diapers at home.

What About Assertive Community Treatment?
An Interview with PACT's William H. Knoedler, M.D.
Note: In a landmark five-year study by the Schizophrenia Patient Outcomes Research Team, 15 scientists from three major research centers reviewed current scientific evidence documenting the most effective treatments for schizophrenia. Along with appropriate and careful use of antipsychotic medication, the study endorses the comprehensive approach of assertive community treatment as a treatment model of proven benefit to people with schizophrenia.
For this article, the Advocate interviewed William Knoedler, M.D., who directed and worked as the psychiatrist for the Program of Assertive Community Treatment (PACT) in Madison, Wisconsin, from 1972-1997. He provides consultation on and training for the PACT model nationally and internationally. Currently, Dr. Knoedler is the staff psychiatrist on two PACT teams, the original team in Madison, and a rural team in Green County, Wisconsin.
NAMI: Dr. Knoedler, who benefits from the PACT model?
W.K.: It is suited for people from their late teens to their elderly years who have a severe and persistent mental illness such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or schizoaffective disorder. Some people with obsessive-compulsive disorder and some who are not helped by traditional outpatient models benefit, too. Assertive community treatment can reach people who dont keep office appointments, for example. The traditional case management frameworkdirecting people to various services that they then seek out on their ownfails people who need services adapted to meet their unique needs. People who may be turned off by bad past experiences with treatment or have limited understanding of their need for help are often helped by PACT.
NAMI: What brought PACT into being? Do the problems that resulted in PACT still exist?
W.K.: In the late 60s, early 70s, simple observation showed that hospitals were being depopulated. People with severe mental illnesses were being discharged into communities with much less than adequate services. Some hospitals closed; others reduced the number of patients they treated. But time was not taken to ensure that there was an adequate transfer of money and services to community programs. This is the story of deinstitutionalization: people were living poor lives in the community and cycling back to the hospital, a phenomenon often referred to as "the revolving door."
he community mental health services that were set up often were not appropriate for people with severe mental illnesses. Even though serving people discharged from state hospitals was an original goal, community mental health centers actually became therapy centers for more healthy people. This distressing situation led people to ask, "What happened? Why isnt community treatment working?"
Since the 1960s Ive seen more people with severe mental illnesses live with their families, become homeless, abuse drugs and alcohol, and go to jail. People got some help when they were in crisis and possibly some case management, but comprehensive care did not exist. This was the scenario that led several courageous peopleArnold Marx M.D., Leonard Stein, M.D., and Mary Ann Test, Ph.D.at the Mendota Mental Health Institute in Madison (one of the two Wisconsin state hospitals) to attempt to treat people who were trapped in the revolving door more effectively.
Now, 26 years later, with increasingly effective mediations for severe mental illnesses, many people dont need the comprehensive level of services provided by assertive community treatment teams. But, unfortunately, my observations about treatment inadequacies in the late 60s and early 70s are still valid today. The public continues to ask "Why are people with severe illnesses not getting help for their problems with mental illnesses?" Mental health systems still are not tailoring services to meet the needs of people least able to function in the community, those who are the most costly in financial and human terms.
NAMI: Weve talked about who PACT is for. Can you now briefly describe assertive community treatment?
W.K.: This may sound like a very obvious approach, but the founders of PACT tailored the way services are delivered to meet the needs of people with severe mental illnesses. With an assertive, persistent, practical approach, they saw to it that consumers actually received services in a continuous fashion over a number of years. The team doesnt wait until a person comes to the office. The majority of services are delivered where consumers live, work, and spend their leisure time, not in the program office. The team helps consumers manage symptoms of the illness; they provide practical on-site support in coping with lifes day-to-day demands. With the team approach, even with staff turnover, support can be consistently provided over time. The consumer is a client of the team, not of an individual staff member.
Treatment, rehabilitation, and community support services are each tailored to the individuals needs. PACT provides up-to-date medication, and staff help people manage their medications, gain employment, and learn how to socialize and carry out a variety of tasks to live in regular housing alone or with a roommate. When a consumer cant do something on his or her own, the team steps in to help. Staff members help consumers get financial entitlements, housing, and non-psychiatric medical care. They oversee all medical care, including primary care and family planning. The team is consistently there for the consumer and family members, and the "one stop shopping" provided covers all aspects of community living.
NAMI: Who staffs a PACT team?
W.K.: The majority of staff are mental health professionals. A psychiatrist and psychiatric nurses make up the medical "team within the team." Masters level social workers, a vocational specialist, an alcohol and drug treatment specialist, plus paraprofessionals make up the rest of the team. Team members serve both as specialists and as interchangeable generalists. We want people on the staff who are practical and who can think. Consumers or ex-patients sometimes fill professional or paraprofessional positions on assertive community treatment teams, and some teams have peer-counselor positions.
NAMI: What is the role of the psychiatrist on the team?
W.K.: The role of the psychiatrist is a critical aspect of the assertive community treatment approach. Unlike in traditional community mental health structure, the PACT psychiatrist is a full team participant, not a consultant to the team. The psychiatrist doesnt just sign off on treatment plans; he participates in treatment planning, staff meetings, and teaching staff how to carry out treatment. In addition to the traditional prescribing and monitoring of medications and conducting therapy and crisis intervention and coordinating inpatient care, the psychiatrist acts as a kind of general practitioner as he or she provides and monitors both psychiatric and non-psychiatric medical care for the consumer.
I spend a quarter to a third of my time in Madison meeting with consumers in the community and more than 50 percent of my time out of the office in my rural program. I can get a better sense of a persons strengths and his or her real environment when I am outside of my office.
Usually the assertive community treatment team leader is a masters level social worker who works closely with a psychiatrist who provides clinical supervision, but sometimes the psychiatrist is the team leader. A psychiatrist as the team leader may be desirable in a complex urban environment where homelessness and alcohol and drug abuse are very common.
NAMI: Can you say more about the "one stop shopping" approach?
W.K.: I would like NAMI members to understand that much of the strength and greater effectiveness of assertive community treatment comes from this approach. The teams direct, integrated provision of services brings medical/psychiatric treatment, rehabilitation, and community support services to severely ill consumers who otherwise would receive little or no care unless they were in a crisis that the community could not disregard. The team also deals with legal issues. When a consumer is arrested for minor offenses, the team intervenes. When a consumer is in jail, the team continues to see him or her, which often facilitates an earlier release.
The one-stop approach is especially effective in three areas: vocational services, alcohol and drug treatment, and helping consumersusually womendevelop skills as parents.
NAMI: How does PACT work with family members?
W.K.: We involve families directly and early on. We seek family suggestions about how to help the consumer. The psychiatrist and other team members meet with the family to teach them about their loved ones mental illness and its treatment, and we offer practical suggestions for interacting with the ill family member.
We encourage and try to help consumers live in their own housing, if possible. This level of independence may take some time to accomplish, but having housing separate from parents (while remaining well supported by the PACT team) can make it easier for the consumer to relate to his or her family as an adult. Whatever happens, the team will be there supporting the consumer and family.
NAMI: How can NAMI members get assertive community treatment started in their communities?
W.K.: I think families and consumers are the most effective advocates for this approach to treatment. They must educate themselves about the model and then meet with those who decide what psychiatric services are provided in their communitiesthe county mental health services board, state department of mental health, local community mental health center, and local and state political leaders. Advocates can point to the recommendations in the Schizophrenia Patient Outcomes Research Team (PORT) study, for example; and they must be prepared to anticipate and answer frequently asked questions. The NAMI national office and the NAMI state offices that have succeeded in getting assertive community treatment are resources. Invite reporters to meetings with decision-makers to focus media attention on the fact that there is well-tested, effective community treatment for people who are perceived by the community as the most difficult to serve.
Policy makers may be concerned about cost for an assertive community treatment program. Balanced against hospital and jail costs, assertive community treatment is no more costlyand usually less expensivethan the usual community care for people with severe and persistent mental illnesses. It certainly is more effective and more humane.
