It supports a number of simultaneously composited video tracks (limited mainly by video format and hardware capability); up to 99 audio tracks; multi-camera editing for combining video from multiple camera sources; as well as standard ripple, roll, slip, slide, scrub, razor blade and time remapping edit functions.

GUADALAJARA, Mexico -- Inbee Park moved into position for her third victory of the year, shooting a 6-under 66 on Saturday to take a two-stroke lead into the final round of the Lorena Ochoa Invitational.
The South Korean player had a 15-under 201 total at Guadalajara Country Club. She won the Evian Masters in France in July and the LPGA Malaysia last month and leads the LPGA Tour money list.
Park also is trying to catch Stacy Lewis in the player of the year points race, but has to win Sunday and next week in the season-ending Titleholders to have any chance to pass Lewis.
Cristie Kerr was second after a 67.
So Yeon Ryu was third at 12 under after a 67. Second-round leader Angela Stanford was another stroke back after a 72, and Karine Icher had a 69 to reach 9 under.
The second-ranked Lewis, coming off her tour-leading fourth victory of the year last week in Japan, was tied for sixth at 8 under with Michelle Wie, Candie Kung and Hee Kyung Seo. Trying to become the first U.S. player of the year since Beth Daniel in 1994, Lewis shot a 71. Wie followed her second-round 75 with a 67, Kung had a 71, and Seo shot 69.
Suzann Pettersen, coming off consecutive victories in South Korea and Taiwan, was 4 under after a 68.
Ochoa was 3 under after a 70. The Mexican star won 27 LPGA Tour titles before retiring at age 28 in 2010. She missed the event last year before the birth of son Pedro in December.
Top-ranked Yani Tseng was 1 over after a 76.

If the -2 seems too little to make them hard to kill, how about also giving them an armor rating? Even if the armor is the standard 4, it means that half the pistols shots the zombie receive will leave him unarmed.

Keeping Arkansas beautiful
On June 13, 1989, Governor Bill Clinton signed an executive order creating the Keep Arkansas Beautiful program. It began as a statewide litter-prevention and recycling initiative. Since then, the nonprofit organization has grown significantly while working with communities statewide, helping them become stewards of their local environments.
Arkansas has a history of protecting and nurturing our natural resources upon which much of our economy and culture are based. The Natural State's pristine forests, lakes and streams have helped make tourism our third largest industry. And the often picturesque surroundings help to make this a great place to live and raise our families. Our voters recognized this when they passed Amendment 75 to the Arkansas Constitution, creating a conservation tax to maintain and protect our natural resources.
Keep Arkansas Beautiful is the state affiliate for Keep America Beautiful, the nation's largest community-improvement organization. The work of both organizations depends on committed volunteers demonstrating their concern and their pride for the communities they call home. Without their efforts, Arkansas would have to spend much more taxpayer money to clean up littered roadways, parks and other areas. Thanks to the help of volunteers and partnerships, Keep Arkansas Beautiful returns an estimated annual value of more than $3.5 million to the state and its communities.
Even though volunteering at a local cleanup may seem minor, in the great scheme of things, those individual efforts combine to produce a great impact. The organization sponsors two statewide cleanups each year. More than 80,000 volunteers log time while taking part in these beautification efforts.
In celebrating its 25th anniversary, Keep Arkansas Beautiful has launched a website, www.greeniversary.org. Arkansans are encouraged to post pictures and videos of The Natural State on social media, along with sharing ideas and tips for recycling and sustainability. The group's main website, www. keeparkansasbeautiful.com, remains a rich resource for individuals, groups and communities looking to get more involved in being stewards of our State.
The more that citizens of a community show their dedication to the natural beauty that surrounds them, the less likely their neighbors will be to damage that environment. And while our goals our big, the actions to achieve it can often be much simpler. Plant trees and flowers in your hometown or clean out your truck bed to avoid litter flying out along our roadways.
I'm proud of Arkansas's achievements to maintain our State's natural aesthetic over the past 25 years, but we must remain equally vigilant during the next 25 years and beyond. Keeping Arkansas a beautiful place improves our quality of life and makes us an attractive destination for tourists, businesses and families. When we all take responsibility for the land we call home, it will remain a wonder we can marvel at for generations to come.

This recipe is adapted from Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian. I refer to this cookbook often, especially when I'm looking for new ideas as the book features over 650 recipes for various beans, vegetables, grains, and dairy. Madhur Jaffery is a renowned specialist in Indian cuisine, and accordingly her book contains an ample number of Asian recipes, though a wide range of regions and foods are represented. The ingredients used are readily available, the instructions easy to follow, and the majority of the recipes are quite simple to prepare, although there are plenty of ideas for special occasions.
Ordinarily I prefer cookbooks with lots of pictures, but the small insert of photos in the center of the book is more than compensated by the descriptions preceding each section and recipe, which includes serving and preparation hints, along with information concerning the origins and traditions of the dishes.

A woman whose Salvation Army officer husband went to police to turn himself in for sexually assaulting an eight-year-old girl says she cannot recall details of the event and denies trying to intimidate an officer.
Kerry Haggar, a lieutenant colonel in the Salvation Army whose husband Colin has been subject of an inquiry into the army's handling of abuse complaints said on Monday she could only recall that her husband had gone to police to report "he had inappropriately touched a child".
The royal commission into child sex abuse hearing started two weeks ago and has heard that Colin Haggar admitted abusing the girl in a central western NSW town in 1989.
James Condon, who is now the man in charge of the army's eastern region, gave evidence last week that he accompanied Mr Haggar when he went to police in 1990 to report the offence.
Mr Condon, who was a captain at the time, could also not recall details but said police had told Mr Haggar no action could be taken without the victim making a complaint.
John Agius SC counsel for the state asked Mrs Haggar on Monday if she could recall to which police station her husband and Mr Condon had gone.
Mrs Haggar said she could not recall.
Mr Agius: "How often does your husband tell you he is going to a police station to report a sexual assault on a child?"
Mrs Haggar: "He only ever told me once."
She said it was an extremely distressing time in their lives.
The couple had been dismissed from the army after Mr Haggar's confession but were re-admitted in 1993.
They rose through the ranks, both becoming lieutenant colonels. Colin Haggar was recently demoted and forced to retire.
Mrs Haggar has been stood down from her post on the army executive.
On Monday Mrs Haggar denied she intended to intimidate Captain Michelle White who had blown the whistle on her husband by reporting to child protection authorities he was still in active service.
Mrs Haggar sent a personal Facebook email to Ms White accusing her of causing "devastation and incredible pain to many innocent people" through her actions.
"In attempting to protect families you have caused irreparable damage to mine," the email said.
On Monday Ms Haggar said she now realises sending the email was wrong and apologised to Ms White.
"I did not intend to intimidate," she said.
"I had spent a sleepless night. My husband had been splashed all over the media. I was frustrated and incredibly distressed."
John Greville, a former NSW detective who has been contracted by the Salvation Army's Professional Standards Office to investigate historical allegations of abuse, said on Monday he had doubts as to whether the matter was ever reported to police.
Mr Greville has not yet concluded an internal investigation but said he could find no evidence that a proper investigation had ever been conducted within the Salvation Army.
"I found no evidence of any questions being asked of officer Haggar, or the victim or the victim's family."
He had recently interviewed JI the girl who had been abused and her mother JH.
Mr Greville told the commission JI had not disclosed the full nature of the allegations until he spoke to her - that is that she had been abused three times by Colin Haggar.

The Hammer Direct Drive Trainer redefines indoor training to create the ultimate riding experience. One that's versatile enough to handle the most intense interval sessions as it is the easiest of recovery rides. Simply put, the Hammer is the perfect addition to any athlete's toolbox.
This direct drive style smart trainer eliminates the tire-to-roller contact, and is capable of replicating any outdoor ride from conversational group rides to rolling hills to pain face inducing 20% grades. All of this is done with a smooth, road-like-feel thanks to a massive 20 lb. precision-balanced flywheel that replicates real world inertia better than anyone else. Paired with our innovative, rapid response electromagnetic resistance system and you've got a bike trainer that can cover large resistance changes in a blink of an eye at a whisper quiet 64 decibels. Plus, the Hammer's revolutionary axle compatibility gives you the freedom to choose any thru-axle or quick release bike now and for years to come. Simply add a cassette, pop off your rear wheel, connect to your favorite virtual training software and prepare to Hammer away.
- Noise level at 20 mph is 64 decibels, quiet enough to ride in a library.
- PowerTuned using PowerTap technology for accurate power readings.
- Thru-axle compatible for bike frames with fork widths of 142 or 148.
- Quick-release compatible for bike frames with fork widths of 130mm and 135 mm.
- Integrated dual ANT+ FE-C and Bluetooth 4.0 technologies.
- Compatible with a wide variety of devices and virtual training application, including CycleOps VirtualTraining, Zwift, TrainerRoad and many more. Contact us with questions about compatibility with other software.
- 20 lb precision balanced flywheel provides quiet, vibration free and true-to-the-road riding experience.
- Fast response electromagnetic resistance ensure most responsive resistance and maximum power available.
- Robust design is capable of handling up to 2000 watts at 20 mph and can simulate up to a 20% climbing grade.
- Direct drive design directly connects the bicycle to the resistance unit, eliminating tire wear.
- Integrated front wheel tray adds stability to ride without taking up any extra storage space.
- Internally cooling technology ensures accurate ride data even during the hardest of workouts.
- Integrated front wheel tray adds stability to ride and nests within the trainer when not in use.
- Folding legs provide widest footprint of direct drive indoor bicycle trainers on the market for added stability and easy storage.
- Includes a Shimano splined freehub for compatibility with Shimano 8-11 speed cassettes.
- Accessible and balanced handle allows for smooth, anyone-can-carry transit of the trainer.
- Over the air (OTA) firmware updates via Bluetooth 4.0 devices ensures the Hammer is up to date.

Changing from a simple fluid trainer to the Hammer has revolutionized indoor cycling for me. Riding on the trainer is a necessary component of training year round where I live. While necessary, I wouldn't say I generally enjoyed it for years. With the Hammer I've found myself defaulting to riding indoors, pairing it with online virtual riding software is far more entertaining and engaging than watching Sports Center or Netflix. My wife commented about how much quieter it is compared to my old wheel-on fluid trainer, she has to poke her head into the basement to hear if I'm training rather than everyone in the house knowing from the noise and squeaking. Additionally, not having to worry about tire wear is amazing!
Best Uses
This is my first smart trainer and I love the way it enhances my training. For really short hard intervals I can set it to resistance and go as hard as I can. Then for longer intervals (especially long Ironman prep rides) I can set it to ERG and let the trainer take care of the resistance for me.
Best Uses
The hammer has offered so much for my training. It pairs very nicely with Zwift and I can select different ride options depending on what my focus is. I can also coordinate my rides with friends or other groups who are on Zwift. This is the closest any indoor trainer has come to feeling like I'm on the road and has truly helped me become stronger. I no longer have any legit excuses to not train!
Best Uses
I thought that I was going to use it during winter or weather days only, but the resistance feedback from my CycleOps Hammer is so realistic than I use it more than I ride outside. With zwift for example there are so many group rides, races and workout that makes indoor trainer so much fun, no stop lights, no crazy drivers, no cold or hot days, I can control how and when do my workout without worry about anything, and you will be also watching all yours TV show at the same time.
Best Uses
Great to use it indoor, avoid the hazzle of outside bike transportation and weather issues.
Best Uses
I've been absolutely thrilled with the incorporation of the hammer smart trainer into my current training regiment. I would recommend this system for anyone serious about their cycling.

Amazing Trainer. When I set out to get a trainer, I was hesitant if I needed a smart trainer or direct drive trainer. Sure, non-direct drive trainers are cheaper and just as effective, right? The answer is no. A direct drive trainer in my opinion, is far superior to a "tire on" trainer. The greatest benefits of direct drive include realistic road feel, enhanced zwift experience, and a better training session. A common complaint of wheel on trainers are that they don't feel great. The resistance feels choppy and your power actually reads high indoors than on the road due to the lack of a freewheel when you are in your dead-spot. The Hammer feels just like the road and performs flawlessly. When paired with Zwift, you get an amazing experience due to the automatic change in resistance to simulate gradients. Intervals on the Hammer also become more interactive. When your interval starts, the trainer adjusts to that power and you have to maintain said effort until it is finished. Otherwise the gear will creep up on you and you will have to work harder. Overall, the Hammer trainer makes winter training that much more enjoyable and beneficial.

The 9th annual production of the Easter Passion Play at Andrews University attracted between 7,500–8,500 attendees. Using the talents of more than 900 volunteers from both the campus and community, the production was designed to give guests the sense of being a witness in the drama of the Easter story.
Visitors embarked upon an indoor-outdoor walking experience through the last week of Jesus' life before His crucifixion. For many, it was an unforgettable experience.
"I really enjoyed volunteering as an animal handler," says Shelley McLarty, a senior biology major who participated in the marketplace scene. "I got to meet lots of people and I especially enjoyed watching people's faces as they experienced what an open market could be like. That interactive aspect is my favorite part of the play."
People traveled from as far away as New York and other surrounding states to see the production. "Many volunteers had invited guests who were from a different faith afflation or those who didn't claim any faith at all," says Jose Bourget, associate chaplain at Andrews University. "Our volunteers believe, as we do, that this is primarily a gospel sharing event. Something that people curious about the gospel want to understand."
To keep the play fresh and powerful, a few changes were made in this year's production. A prayer tent was added and the resurrection scene gained 30 angel choreographers who represented a small selection of the heavenly hosts who waited to praise and greet the risen Savior. Students raised funds and sewed their own costumes on short notice for the scene.
Most significant, however, was the decision to further tap into the resources of Andrews' student body. "Andrews University is full of many people with different gifts. As a University event we wanted to increase opportunities for these gospel gifts to be shared in relevant ways," says Bourget.
The Andrews Gymnics were among those newly involved, as four aerial silk choreographers performed with the angels during the resurrection scene. Additionally, music majors and members of the Andrews University Symphony Orchestra recorded the music for the scene. Entitled "Revelation Song," it was sung by Emily Ferguson and arranged and conducted by Joshua Goines, both students at Andrews University.
Many people were touched by the play. Claire, a young girl struggling with a life-threatening condition, attended the production with her grandmother again this year. Last year she came and expressed a desire to meet Jesus, but unfortunately it could only be arranged for her to meet Gabriel. This year Claire was able to meet both Jesus and Gabriel along with the rest of the angels. With the help of one of the angels, Claire was even able to participate in the angels' choreography, which was a beautiful moment for all who witnessed it.
"I believe there is tremendous need for people to know our risen Savior walked among us. They should wonder, what did His world smell like, look like, sound like?" says Bourget. "They should get a picture of His joys and struggles, friends and foes, and ultimately the Majesty of Emmanuel that will soon return."
Next year's Easter Passion Play is scheduled for Saturday, March 30, 2013. Learn more at http://passionplay.andrews.edu.

Kline Statement: Consideration of H.R. 5851, the Offshore Oil and Gas Worker Whistleblower Protection Act of 2010
WASHINGTON, D.C. | July 30, 2010
Whistleblower protections are a longstanding part of our federal safety and health laws. Simply put, they protect workers' ability to speak freely about dangers in the workplace. They allow working men and women to protect themselves and their coworkers.
The ultimate goal of our worker safety laws should be that no worker ever needs to blow the whistle. We need a culture of safety in our workplaces – a system in which employers have the information and resources they need to comply with the law and avoid unnecessary risk to workers' health and safety.
But in those rare instances where employers are not following the law and workers' safety is at risk, we offer protections to those individuals who speak up.
These protections are widely available to workers and enforced by the Whistleblower Protection Program at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. However, we recently became aware that a gap may exist in those protections.
Safety on offshore oil rigs is overseen by the Coast Guard and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, unlike most workplaces, where safety is overseen by OSHA. As a result, it is not clear whether these workers are covered by the OSH Act's whistleblower protections or any of the 17 other statutes enforced by OSHA's Whistleblower Protection Program. Some might argue oil rig workers are covered by the Maritime Transportation and Security Act, while others point to a 1983 agreement in which OSHA retained whistleblower authority for these workers.
In the few days since this legislation was introduced, we have found confusion and conflicting information. This confusion was illustrated in recent news accounts detailing the experiences of workers on the Deepwater Horizon who were concerned about safety practices on the rig, but were afraid to voice those concerns.
If workers themselves believe they can be fired or otherwise retaliated against for identifying safety concerns, we must create or restate those protections. It is as simple as that.
Yet the bill before us is not so simple.
H.R. 5851 creates a brand new whistleblower framework for any individual directly or indirectly involved with a company that drills on the Outer Continental Shelf. We all agree on the need to clarify protections for workers on the rigs. But what about other workers – those who are clearly already covered by current law.
H.R. 5851 adds a new layer of legal processes, deadlines, and remedies for workers who are already covered. It creates legal confusion, particularly for those workers who would now be covered by parallel and possibly conflicting statutes.
I am also troubled by the differences between these new whistleblower protections and those existing under current law. This bill seems to prioritize resolution by the federal courts, adding costs and delaying results for workers who simply want to remain on the job.
These are the types of questions normally addressed through hearings and committee votes. Members weigh the opinions of federal regulatory officials, legal experts, industry personnel, and workers themselves.
We evaluate which agency would be best suited to enforce protections and remedies under the law. And we prevent duplication and confusion by clearly defining which workers are covered.
Unfortunately, we did not use that process for H.R. 5851. It was never given a committee hearing. It was never given a committee vote.
Last month, the committee held a hearing to examine broad jurisdictional questions about which federal agency is ultimately responsible for worker safety on offshore oil rigs. We heard from the Coast Guard, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, OSHA, and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.
Those agencies told us they did not know which federal whistleblower laws, if any, applied to workers on oil rigs on the Outer Continental Shelf. There was confusion. Since that time, the committee has heard no further testimony, received no further information, and considered no legislation.
Yet on Monday of this week, the majority introduced H.R. 5851 and promptly announced members of the full House would be asked to cast a vote on whether these are the best protections for workers on oil rigs. And as has become all too common, we are here under a closed rule, with no amendments being considered.
Mr. Speaker, this is a serious issue and it deserves a serious process – one it has not been given. I reserve the balance of my time.

A Jackson man accused of murdering a woman at her Woodstock Township home in November made his third court appearance Friday.
ADRIAN — A Jackson County man accused of murdering a woman at her Woodstock Township home in November made his third court appearance Friday. But details of the crime remain shrouded in secrecy.
A hearing where evidence against Steven Daniel Storm was to be presented was skipped. He was bound over to Lenawee County Circuit Court for an arraignment on Jan. 23.
Storm, 42, is accused of suffocating 63-year-old Sandra Johnson at her rural home in Woodstock Township on Nov. 16. Her body was found the next day, dumped at a public boat launch a few miles away at Crispell Lake in Jackson County.
An investigation by sheriff's detectives from Lenawee and Jackson counties led to Storm's arrest the day before Thanksgiving on an open murder charge.
A death certificate stated Johnson died of asphyxia. No details of how she was suffocated or why Storm would want to murder her have been released by police or prosecutors involved in the case.
Some of those details were expected to be revealed during a preliminary examination Friday where the prosecution would have to present evidence to justify sending the case on to trial.
"My client, at this point, is going to waive his preliminary examination," public defender John Glaser announced when Storm was brought into court. Glaser said Storm reserved his right to the hearing in the future if the case is not resolved in circuit court.
Storm was returned to jail, where he is being held without bond.
Family members of both Johnson and Storm left the courtroom separately.
No plea bargains have been offered or discussed, said Assistant Lenawee County Prosecutor Scott Baker.
He said details of the investigation are not being made public at this time, and have not been shared with the victim's family.
"I can't jeopardize the prosecution by going into motive and other issues," Baker said.
"I think we have an extremely strong case," he said. "I think when we have an opportunity to present the case to a jury they will agree with us."
Glaser has said his client seems an unlikely perpetrator of such a crime. He was living quietly with his wife and children in Vandercook Lake and has no criminal history, he said.
Baker said the investigation has established Storm and Johnson were acquainted with each other. It was not a friendship or romantic relationship, he said.
Storm became a suspect when Johnson's financial records were examined by detectives.
A preliminary examination first scheduled for Dec. 3 was adjourned when Glaser asked for more time to prepare. Police reports on the investigation had not all been turned over to him at that time, he said.
Glaser said Friday he now has all the police reports from the investigation.

What's Up???
It. Was. Incredible! Like walking onto the set of one of the movies.
Maybe even better because there were rides. And food.
Okay, the rides I could've done without. Or at least The Forbidden Journey. It's one of those virtual reality rides, where they strap you in and the screen plays this amazing special effects "journey" while the ride moves. Let's just say I may have gotten a little motion sick on it.
Fine. A LOT motion sick.
Oh, and don't ask me anything about the ride because my eyes were shut the entire time. Not because I was scared, I just didn't want to puke on anyone. YAY.
One of the nights my husband surprised my daughter (and me) with reservations at the Medieval Times Dinner, which I totally thought would be cheesy. But Abby loved it so much it was hard not to fall under its charms. Her knight even bestowed his favor upon her (you know, gave her the little sash from the tip of his lance). She was positively glowing with her new knightly crush! Way cooler than I expected!
Also, this past weekend, we added a new kitten to the family line-up.
*cue the awwws*
I know. Adorable, isn't she? So you totally understand why there was no way I could say no when we were at my nephew's birthday party and they had kittens and my daughter asked if we could take her home, right???
The conversation went something like this:
Abby: "Please, mommy! She'll be the last pet I ever get."
Me: "Absolutely not."
Abby: "Just look at her little face."
Me (looking for a very long time, and then under my breath): "Fine."
Abby: "Pleeeeaasseee…I…. Wait. What? Did you just say yes?"
My husband was pretty cool about it, especially considering we just showed up with her. No phone calls…no warning at all. I figured I was either getting a new cat or a lease on an apartment (for him, not me, since I need the space for all our cats!).
And now we have an adorable little kitten!
But my big news is that I went to the university this week and picked up our oldest daughter's cap and gown for commencement. I can't believe my baby is graduating college next week! When did she stop being this...???
I may be feeling a tad nostalgic.
What's up with you???

I'm a huge fan of Southern fried chicken. Luscious bits of buttermilk brined chicken with a thick crunchy crust that looks like the forehead of an aging pug. When the urge hits, I'll even tuck into a bucket of the Colonel's Original Recipe to get my fix. I'm a fried chicken whore though and my loyalties don't just lie with Southern fried chicken. I love Japanese fried chicken, Korean fried chicken, and even the winged "bison" variety that originated in upstate New York.
When the Superbowl rolled around a few weeks ago I wanted to do healthier takes on traditional classics. I set out to make buffalo wings with less breading and less oil without loosing anything in the texture and flavour department. The initial goal was to make these entirely in the oven without using oil, but after several failed attempts at a getting crispy skin I gave up. You can achieve slightly crispy skin by spraying non-stick cooking spray on top of the chicken, but it just doesn't compare to the crackling crisp skin of the deep frying.
So you make the choice, crispy deep fried or healthier oven baked. Either way, you'll get a wing that's brimming with South East Asian flavours and a thin caramelized crust.
for marinade
for dusting
for serving
- Put all the marinade ingredients in a food processor and and blitz until pureed. Put in a gallon sized Ziploc bag.
- Wash the chicken wings and dry thoroughly with paper towels. Add to them to the marinade and seal the bag, trying to get as much air out as you can. Marinate for at least 24 hours.
- If you are baking them, move the oven rack to the middle position and pre-heat to 400 degrees F. If you are deep frying, heat a cast iron pot with 1.5" of oil to 365 degrees F.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and dry the chicken as best you can using paper towels. This is important to achieve a thin crisp skin. Put the flour in a bowl and lightly dust each piece of chicken, tapping off any extra flour.
- baking method
- Place on a wire rack over a baking sheet making sure to leave space between each piece. Spray the chicken with non-stick cooking spray, or brush lightly with oil. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked and the skin is golden brown.
- frying method
- Once the oil reaches 365 degrees F, carefully lower the chicken wings into the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel lined wire rack to drain.
- Serve with Thai sweet chili sauce, which you can dress up with lime juice and cilantro if you like.

Campus Security Accreditation: Process
The CALEA Accreditation Process is a proven modern management model. Once implemented, it presents an agency's Chief Executive Officer (CEO), on a continuing basis, with a blueprint that promotes the efficient use of resources and improves service delivery—regardless of the size, geographic location, or functional responsibilities of the agency.
There are five phases in the accreditation process:
On-site Assessment,
Commission Review and Decision, and
Maintaining Compliance and Reaccreditation.
Enrollment - Getting Started
The primary resource to explore accreditation and gather information is the CALEA website. It provides the opportunity to obtain a vast amount of information about CALEA's history, organization, and credentialing programs; search the client database for other agencies enrolled; or view/print fee schedules and other required enrollment documents. The website also contains an archive of CALEA periodicals, newsletters and a compilation of AccreditationWorks! articles, which describe the impact of accreditation from CALEA clients' perspective, plus links to other articles, research studies, and resources.
Those interested in CALEA Accreditation may purchase the CALEA publications in electronic format. These publications are bundled for seamless access to each of the standards manuals for all programs, and also includes the CALEA Process and Programs Guide. Collectively, these documents provide the foundation for agencies participating in any of the CALEA Accreditation Programs. Access to the electronic publications requires an annual subscription and the associated rates can be found on the CALEA website within the "Store" Section. Short-term temporary access may be granted to agencies interested in reviewing the publications by contacting CALEA at 703-352-4225.
For agencies interested in finding out more about the CALEA Campus SecurityAccreditation Program, here are some suggestions:
- Review the standards found in the publication, CALEA Standards for Campus Security Agencies, and the information in the instructional manual, the CALEA Process and Programs Guide; carefully review and compare the CALEA Standards to your existing written directives.
- Attend a CALEA Conference. There you will receive the training needed to begin the process and to successfully complete your accreditation goals; network with other public safety personnel and gain insight into the program; and consult with other CALEA accredited agencies.
- Attend and/or join the local Accreditation Coalition, if available. This is another resource for information and accreditation process training. Check on a PAC in your area.
- Contact CALEA with any questions.
When the agency is ready to enroll in the Campus Security Accreditation Program, it completes the online Enrollment Package, downloads the following three documents, and submits them to CALEA:
- Enrollment Form.
- Accreditation Agreement.
- Publications Subscription and Access Agreement.
The agency begins the phase called self-assessment with the return of the signed Agreement and the completed APQ. The APQ is an informal document permitting answers to be provided as conveniently as possible and the best estimate may be appropriate in some areas. The completed APQ contains agency-specific and general community information that permits the assigned CALEA Regional Program Manager to facilitate interaction with the agency's accreditation manager and provide program related assistance.
Agencies in the Campus Security Accreditation Program have 24 months from the date a CALEA representative signs the Accreditation Agreement to complete self-assessment and schedule an on-site assessment. The Agreements provide for extensions and related fees in the event an agency requires additional time beyond the Agreement limit.
The agency proceeds with self-assessment by complying with applicable standards, developing proofs of compliance, and preparing for the on-site assessment. During this time, the CALEA Regional Program Manager is available to provide guidance on the applicability of standards and attaining compliance.
Near the end of the self-assessment phase, the agency, in conjunction with the CALEA Assessment Manager, develops plans for accomplishing on-site assessment activities.
On-site Assessment
Once the agency has notified CALEA of its completion of the self-assessment phase and its desire to schedule an on-site assessment, the CALEA Assessment Manager schedules a date that is mutually agreeable and in compliance with the Agreement between the agency and CALEA. Trained assessors with professionally relevant experience conduct the assessment and report their findings to the Commission for review and decision.
Commission Review and Decision
The Commission's Agency Review Committees conduct hearings, which are open for public attendance, regarding the agency's compliance to applicable standards. Designated agency representatives are invited to participate in this review. If an agency is unable to participate, the CALEA Regional Program Manager presents the agency's on-site report and other necessary information to the Review Committee.
At the CALEA Conference, the agency receives a letter conferring accredited status for three years. Later, one framed Certificate of Accreditation for display is sent, at no cost to the agency. The agency also receives certificates of appreciation for the CEO and accreditation manager. Additional certificates can be ordered, for a fee, from CALEA.
Maintaining Compliance and Reaccreditation
The agency must maintain compliance with applicable standards, keep its proofs of compliance up-to-date, and live by the letter and spirit of those standards. To retain its accreditation status, the agency is required to annually submit to CALEA the appropriate accreditation continuation fees and an Agency Status Report. The status report, due by its anniversary date each year, includes a summary of the agency's accreditation maintenance experience for the preceding year and a declaration of continued compliance with applicable standards.
Once an agency has achieved two previous consecutive accreditation awards, it may apply for and be awarded CALEA Accreditation with Excellence by the Commission as an indication of superlative performance. See the Awards tab for a complete description of the Accreditation with Excellence award.

Dhani Jones on Jimmy Kimmel tonight
Subject pretty much says it all, Dhani on the book tour getting some TV pub. Searches for "Dhani Jones Jimmy Kimmel" come up with far more links to live web streams than actual episode descriptions, but if the Internet AND Comcast agree, they can't be wrong, can they?
If you're not around, or find out late, you can watch the episode in it's totality, with full permission, at Kimmel's website, (after the fact, I'm guessing)-

Anne Beiler Attributes Success to Giving
Written by Matthew D'Ippolito
Anne Beiler, the founder of Auntie Anne's Pretzels, says she's still a little Amish girl at heart.
While speaking at Ursinus College's Lenfest Theater Wednesday night, Beiler attributed her success in business and triumph over personal struggles to the values instilled in her while growing up in a Lancaster County Amish community, coupled with a drive to achieve her purpose.
"This little Amish girl travelled the world selling pretzels. That's funny to me!" she said, prompting some laughter from the audience. "And I didn't go there in my horse and buggy; I actually flew there!"
Beiler, who sold her business in 2005, was invited to speak as part of the college's U-Imagine! The Center for Integrative and Entrepreneurial Studies speaker series, U-Inspire!
After thanking everyone for braving the frigid temperatures, Beiler began her presentation with a question.
"How many of you – and you must be honest – how many of you have never had an Auntie Anne's pretzel?" Beiler asked. Of the roughly 200 present, four hands hesitantly went up.
She feigned offense, receiving some laughter from the audience, before promising those four individuals coupons for free pretzels after the presentation. It was a fitting way to begin the talk, which was titled "Give to Get to Give Again," focusing on the importance of giving back and finding purpose.
"We don't truly begin to live until we learn to give," she said. "I believe that giving is a condition and a matter of the heart."
She stressed that giving doesn't guarantee financial success, but does guarantee satisfaction in life. She also elaborated on the old adage "you can't take it with you when you die."
"I've been to many funerals, and I've never seen a casket with cash or bonds or stocks in it," she said. "It's true – you can't take it with you. So why do we as entrepreneurs amass this wealth? I believe it is so we can make this world a better place."
Not everything in her talk was cheerful, however. Beiler also talked about the low points in her life, beginning with the death of her 19-month-old daughter in a farming accident in 1975. She also addressed the struggle to keep her marriage together shortly after the accident and her struggles to make her business work early on.
What kept her from giving up, she said, was her purpose. As the couple worked through marriage counseling together, her husband Jonas realized he wanted to become a marriage counselor himself.
"That's when I decided I had to get to work and make the dough. That's right – the pretzel dough," she said. And so she took her Amish values and baking experience and began building her business, without capital, a business plan or a formal education beyond the eighth grade.
She said she cried a lot and prayed a lot in the early days of Auntie Anne's. She had to learn everything about business as she went along.
"We had purpose before we had a business," she said.
Her message and story seemed to resonate with many in the audience. Kailey Tuhacek, a senior at Methacton High School, and her friend Helena Mancini, a senior at Perkiomen Valley High School, both found Beiler's story inspirational.
"I thought it was really cool to hear how far she's come," Tuhacek said. "I didn't know she started out Amish, making all of those pies in her basement. […] She went from housewife to CEO of her own company."
Marie Mancini, a Schwenksville resident and Helena's mom, said Beiler's story also carries a powerful message for young girls.
"There are very few women with businesses that are international," she said. "She took something as simple as pretzels and made it grow. It shows that it doesn't have to be complicated."
Beiler herself said that "purpose doesn't have to be grand and it doesn't have to be huge." And because of the drive she had to fulfill her goals, she refused to quit when things got tough after opening her first stand in Downingtown.
"If I stopped there, if I stopped in Downingtown, could you imagine a world without Auntie Anne's pretzels?" she asked, before stopping and chuckling. "Well, four of you can."

Q: Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire. After saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be?
A: That's easy: my Indian passport. If there's anything worse than watching your house on fire, it's spending a day at the Indian embassy. A friend of mine walked in with a full head of hair and walked out with a bald spot. I really felt bad for her.

Inno3D Geforce GT 220 Review
After attending Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference I left with a new appreciation of what the GPU was capable of. Gaming is not the only game in town anymore. For the majority of people the computer is for more than just 'getting your frag on'. It's about watching HD content, converting and encoding media, fixing your pictures since we all are not professional photographers and of course, finding a way to clean up our poorly shot home videos. For most people that's what the computer is used for - it's used as a tool. But of course gaming is something that at least one of the family is interested in and you have to have some gaming ability to be attractive for an all around economical solution.
The inno3D GT 220 is one such card that is meant to fill the price point previously occupied by the 9500 GT. The GT 220 is built upon the 40nm GT 216 core and comes equipped with 48 Cuda cores, 16 Texture units and 8 ROP's and carries 1GB of GDDR3 memory. The use of the 40nm build process results in a low power card that uses a total of 7 watts at idle. The GT 220 is capable of sending the high definition sound and picture out through the HDMI connection, so getting the full HD experience is possible without any additional connections. The inno3D GT 220 is DirectX 10.1 and Shader model 4.1 ready and supports Physx, HDCP, and OpenGL 3.2. After testing Palit's rendition I am curious as to how the extra 512MB of memory will help this card out.
Closer Look:
The front panel of the inno3D GT 220 package features a warrior carrying two swords to grab your attention, before you notice the attributes of the card that are posted, including HDMI and Windows 7 compatibility. Along the bottom of the front panel you have a Graphics Plus panel that lists the things this card will prove useful for. These include Physx, Video and Image processing as well as 3D Stereo. The rear panel goes into greater detail on the attributes in multiple languages. Along the bottom-right there are a few icons that include the RoHS symbol that means the card is built taking into consideration environmental factors in the EU. The card is certified for Windows Vista and compatible with Windows 7.
As you can imagine, the contents of the package are pretty sparse since the card has added connectivity and no need for adapters or additional power cables. The GT 220 comes with an install kit that contains the driver disk and a quick start guide that covers the hardware installation.
Minimal packaging does not necessarily mean a minimal product. Let's take a look at what the inno3D GT 220 has to offer.
