In order to maintain small classes and plentiful opportunities, we accept a limited number of theatre arts majors and graduate students through an audition/interview process. Please note that students who desire a focus in nonperformance areas (design, stage management, etc.) should bring a portfolio of their work to the interview.
For detailed instructions, please click on the following links:
Undergraduate Program applicants
For more information on our program please e-mail Lisa Denman at:
Be sure to include your name, address, phone number, and current high school year.
Compared to other schools, our department is medium-sized (approximately 125 majors). This means that you will have enough competition among other students to "keep you on your toes" while still receiving the individual attention you will need to hone your craft. We maintain a professional yet nurturing environment, with mentored opportunities as an undergraduate to practice your expertise in performance and design for a mainstage audience in exceptional, state-of-the-art theatre facilities.
Whether a student wishes to pursue a career as a professional actor, director or designer, the administrator of a non-profit regional theatre, a drama teacher at the secondary level, or even the leader of a drama ministry, the Department of Theatre Arts at Baylor will help you develop the professional and life skills to succeed.
Baylor Theatre alumni are placed in prominent positions throughout the theatre community in the US. Some of our students have gone on to prestigious graduate programs such as Harvard, CalArts, and Stony Brook University. Some alumni have received scholarships to enter acting conservatories such as the Neighborhood Playhouse School of Theatre in New York, the Old Globe in San Diego, or the Royal Academy of Drama Arts in London. Other graduates decide to strike out immediately, seeking careers in New York, L.A. or the regional theatre circuit. Still other graduates choose to use their theatrical training in the worlds of ministry, business or law.
If you would like to visit Baylor during the school year, let us know and we will arrange a tour of our facilities and time with a faculty member. If you visit during the run of one of our shows, we will be happy for you and your parents to be our guests. There are several other opportunities to get a more in-depth feel for our department. These events include university-scheduled recruitment events such as "Premiere" weekends and departmentally-sponsored audition dates for our Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees.

Skip the box, add chicken, and get ready for this spot on homemade recipe for that famous San Francisco treat. More
Chicken breasts are an extremely popular cut of meat, and that's because they're easy to work with. But I've lately taken to buying boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead. They're just as easy (no prep whatsoever), but they lay flat and cook more evenly, especially on a grill or grill pan. They also taste better—and a coating of "garlicky crumbs," as in this Mario Batali recipe, doesn't hurt at all. More
When making this Braised Chicken with Sweet Onions and Parmigiano from Mario Batali's latest cookbook, Molto Batali, the house filled up with a very familiar and very French aroma. Coq au vin. It's sort of Mario's Italian accented take on coq au vin. More
When taking the stew out of the oven, you'll find that the apricots and onion have melted away almost entirely, leaving the sauce with a slightly sweet, warm richness. The briny olives, carrots, and celery, along with the chunky chicken thighs are just waiting to be scooped over an orange juice steamed couscous flecked with scallions, mint, and cilantro. More

By Spc. Mike Pryor, USASpecial to American Forces Press Service
MIANASHIN, Afghanistan, Oct. 21, 2005 The airdrop of supplies in the morning had fallen far from the mark, leaving water bottles and boxes of food strewn for hundreds of yards across the mountain. The paratroopers had spent the afternoon carrying box after box down from the ridgeline, but several large loads still needed to be transported. With daylight rapidly disappearing, the company seemed to have run out of options.
Luckily, that is when "donkey man" showed up.
Army Spc. Daniel Boyle spotted the old man leading a team of donkeys up a hill in the distance. With a flash of inspiration, Boyle realized the donkeys might be the solution to the unit's transportation problem, on this mission earlier in October.
He beckoned the man over and began to negotiate. They quickly reached an agreement, and before long, each donkey was loaded up with an enormous bundle of supplies and ready to move out.
Army Staff Sgt. Matthew Sheppard mounted the lead donkey. He slung his weapon on his back and gave a gentle jab with his heels to spur the animal forward. As the donkey started trotting off, a sudden thought occurred to Sheppard. "Hey, how do I make it stop?" he hollered. But by that time the unlikely convoy was already on the move.
As the incident with the donkeys shows, "adapt and overcome" was the strategy on display when paratroopers from Company A, 1st Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment, and counterparts from the Afghan National Army conducted a five-day operation in Afghanistan's Mianashin region, north of Kandahar, in early October. The operation resulted in the detention of three Taliban leaders and the destruction of two enemy safe houses.
"On a mission like that, you never know what situation you're going to find yourself in. That's why we just try to stay flexible and make the most out of whatever breaks we get," said Capt. Michael Shaw, Company A commander.
The operation began with a pre-dawn air assault into the town of Lwar Kowndalan Oct. 1. Two Chinook helicopters, with an Apache gunship for support, delivered the paratroopers in a clearing just outside the village. The paratroopers flung themselves out of the Chinooks into a wall of dirt and dust kicked up by the propeller blades. The helicopters took off seconds later. As the dust settled, the paratroopers could see they had landed in a graveyard.
They moved out quickly and encircled the town by squads. Their objective was to capture several high-ranking Taliban operatives known to live in the village. With the Afghan soldiers leading the way, the troops searched several houses and in no time had taken three enemy fighters captive.
The soldiers were also on the lookout for a safe house used by Taliban forces in the area. After several hours, Shaw decided to set up a patrol base from which to continue the search. He chose a high-walled, fortress-like compound surrounded by orchards. Ironically, soon after occupying the building, the paratroopers realized it was actually the safe house they were looking for.
The next day, after loading the three detained enemy fighters onto a Chinook for transport to a secure location, the company moved out on a punishing hike through the mountains to the town of Gardeneh. The sun beat down mercilessly as they trudged along, sliding on the shale-covered hillsides and getting snagged in tangled thorn thickets. It was only a two-mile hike, but with the heat and the altitude, it felt more like 20.
The village lay on top of a hill and at the foot of a cluster of immense boulders. A search of the homes failed to turn up any evidence of Taliban presence, but one old man informed the paratroopers that approximately 50 Taliban fighters had recently moved through the area. Shaw had his men set up an observation point at the old man's house in hopes that the enemy might pass by again that night.
While they waited for night to fall, another problem presented itself: The paratroopers were almost entirely out of food and water. They would have to live off the land. They paid the old man to butcher one of his goats and drank water from his well after purifying it with iodine tablets.
Late that night they sat around the fire eating broiled goat meat with their hands and drinking sweet Chai tea. "What part is this?" asked one paratrooper warily as he fished a hunk of goat meat out of the pot. "Don't ask. Just eat," someone answered.
Later, when most of his men were in their sleeping bags or on guard, Shaw went to sit by the old man's side to thank him for the hospitality. Knowing the Taliban would harm the old man if they knew he had helped U.S. forces, Shaw asked the man for a strange favor. "I want you to lie to them. Don't tell them you helped us," he said.
In the morning the company hiked several miles farther out to search another compound, then circled back and made the journey all the way back to their base in Lwar Kowndalan to await resupply.
From the roof of their compound, the paratroopers saw the C-130 fly over, and crates of food and water attached to green parachutes came tumbling out of the plane's hold. Sheppard's squad was dispatched to retrieve the supplies. Hours later, he rode back into the compound on the back of a donkey, leading the rest of his improvised convoy behind him. "Cool! War donkeys!" exclaimed Pvt. Adam Richter.
The re-supply had also included humanitarian aid supplies for the local people. All afternoon and into the evening the villagers filed into the compound one by one to receive rice, beans, sugar, tools, radios, and other supplies. The paratroopers did their best to distribute the material according to need, but everyone seemed to be equally needy.
"Ask him how many people are in his family," 1st Lt. Sean McDonough, the company's executive officer, told his interpreter as one boy approached to receive his portion of the supplies. "He says he has five brothers and five sisters," the interpreter said. "Oh brother," sighed McDonough.
Operations continued the next day as the platoon discovered another abandoned safe house and several caves that had been used as shelters or staging points for ambushes. Using mortar fire, M-136 anti-tank missiles, and hand grenades, the paratroopers destroyed them all.
Company A was due to be "exfiltrated" by Chinook helicopters just after sunrise Oct. 5. But before they could leave, there was one last piece of unfinished business -- the compound they had been living in. Rather than leave it intact for the Taliban to use, Shaw gave the order to destroy the building and the remaining supplies in it with claymore mines.
Staff Sgt. Richard Eldridge emplaced the mines, setting one inside a room in which someone had scrawled some fitting graffiti: "Up Yours Taliban," it read.
When everything was set, Eldridge crouched down just outside the gates of the compound and detonated the mines. There was a tremendous blast and then a cloud of smoke, and dust came drifting out of the gates. Poking his head inside, Eldridge saw that the explosion had split the main building straight down the middle. The compound's days as a safe haven for Taliban fighters were over.
The paratroopers moved out to the pickup zone. Soon they heard the "WHUPWHUPWHUP" of the incoming Chinook helicopters, and less than 45 minutes later they were back at Kandahar Airfield, looking forward to a well-earned day of hot chow, hot showers, and sleep on comfortable mattresses. And no more donkeys.
(Army Spc. Mike Pryor is assigned to the 1st Battalion, 325th Infantry.)

Stoops, Wildcats Begin Prep for No. 12 South Carolina
Sept. 30, 2013
Game Time for UK-Alabama on Oct. 12 Set: The University of Kentucky football game with No. 1 Alabama on Saturday, Oct. 12 has been set for a 7 p.m. ET kickoff on ESPN2 at Commonwealth Stadium in Lexington, Ky.
Kentucky Head Coach Mark Stoops
COACH STOOPS: Just wrapping up the Florida game, after watching the film, I really did think we did some good things. I thought our players played extremely hard on both sides of the ball. The thing about that game is it went so quick, our offense only had seven possessions, and that goes to both sides; offense not getting first downs and defense letting them drive it too much, so limited possessions there. But I thought we did keep them off balance, moved the ball pretty good. Defensively, I thought we did some good things as well. I felt like we were a little more stout in the run game. I was worried about that going into the game. Their primary play is the power and the counter and I thought our players played fairly well. There were some things obviously we need to do better. They hit us on a long run, but outside of that long run we made them work for their yards and did some pretty good things, like I said, the overall fight was pretty good. We know there are a lot of things we need to get corrected. With the quarterback situation we need to continue to evaluate that, both guys struggled at times Saturday, that had to do with a great Florida defense and us not executing but we will continue to look at that situation as we go forward. Looking ahead to South Carolina. It's going to be another great challenge, really looking forward to going down there, playing at South Carolina, we know it's a real challenge. I have a lot of respect for Coach (Steve) Spurrier. I've known him for a long time, his son, Steve, Jr., so it will be a big challenge but we're looking forward to it.

I loved it when I saw it online at a friends house. I ordered one and put it out. It is a covered area and not exposed to the elements. If it lasted one week, that's a lot. The paint kept coming off and it tore. There is no picture on it now. Very, very disappointed , considering we have Dalmatians ! I paid full price also !

Chuck Norris' latest column for the Worldnetdaily is entitled "Would Jefferson approve today's public education?" But in fact, there isn't a word in the column about that subject. All he does is offer a bunch of quotes from Thomas Jefferson about the importance of an educated citizenry in a democracy.
But is today's public education what he and other founders were imagining it could be back then?
The answer is: Yes and no.
Yes, Jefferson foresaw that public education would teach a broad range of basics. But, no, he didn't imagine academia would be run by the federal government or that it would turn into limited indoctrination camps for political correctness and secular progressivism.
There was nothing more important for Thomas Jefferson than the education of the public. For him, the preservation of our very republic was dependent upon it.
As far back as 1787, he wrote to James Madison: "Above all things I hope the education of the common people will be attended to; convinced that on their good sense we may rely with the most security for the preservation of a due degree of liberty."
And nearly 25 years later in 1810, after two terms as president, he penned, "No one more sincerely wishes the spread of information among mankind than I do, and none has greater confidence in its effect towards supporting free and good government."
And it goes on and on like that, with quotes from Jefferson about how important education is and not a single sentence that actually addresses the question in the headline. He promises more in his next column, but I wonder if he will mention that when Jefferson created the University of Virginia he quite intentionally did not include a theology department. I'm guessing not.

City Council approves grants for police
Henderson will seek nearly $100,000 in grant help for police to fund equipment purchases and officers' overtime following a unanimous approval Monday for applications to a state crime commission fund authority.
The Henderson City Council also approved updating their water reclamation facility loan to fit the slightly higher construction bill, adding about $500,000 to the $16.6 million loan.
Henderson Police Chief Keith Sidwell said to council members that the $99,092 would be leveraged by $33,030.80 in match funding that draws from federal asset forfeiture funds.
The total program at $132,122.80 would in part purchase eight Mobile Data Terminal in-car camera systems Sidwell said are part of an ongoing upgrade effort to keep police cruisers at state-of-the-art capacity.
"We have video cameras in every marked car," Sidwell said in response to questions from council members. "Some of the equipment is outdated and bare. We are slowly upgrading our equipment."
City Manager Ray Griffin said the city's federal asset forfeiture fund has been drawn down from nearly $780,000 to a current level of about $525,000.
The approved program would potentially draw those fund savings below the $500,000 mark. Yet to be assessed are forfeiture funds to be added in from criminal forfeiture actions through the fiscal year gained primarily by police drug interdiction efforts.
Some of the funds would go toward equipment and materials needed to expand partnerships with citizen groups government agencies and businesses focused on reducing crime, particularly aggravated assaults and crimes involving weapons and gangs.
Ratified were completed grant applications that now advance to the N.C. Governor's Crime Commission. The applications were due Jan. 31, and Mayor Pete O'Geary signed off on them for electronic submission for that date.
The City Council approved the state's revolving fund loan now standing at $17,115,000 for work to overhaul the Henderson Water Reclamation Facility.
The amended Clean Water Management Trust Fund offer remains a zero-percent interest loan over 20 years, and includes an additional $100,000 in loan forgiveness to the $1 million included before.
The funding of a construction contract awarded to Devere Construction on Jan. 14 had already been approved by the council. The state updated its loan documents to fit the fund budget, and the council on Monday approved the updated paperwork.

Chia seeds are typically small ovals, with a diameter of approx 1 mm. and are mottle-colored with brown, gray, black and white. Chia seeds typically contain 20% protein, 34% oil, and 25% dietary fiber. The oil from chia seeds contain a very high concentration of Omega 3 fatty acid - approx. 64% in the oil. Chia seeds contain no gluten.
Currently, chia seed is traditionally consumed in Mexico, the southwestern United States, and South America, but is not widely known in Europe. Jesuit chroniclers referred to chia as the third most important crop to the Aztecs, behind only corn and beans, and ahead of amaranth. Tribute and taxes to the Aztec priesthood and nobility were often paid in chia seed.
Food Preparation
Grinding chia produces a meal called pinole, which can be made into porridge or cakes. Chia seeds soaked in water or fruit juice is also often consumed and is known in Mexico as chia fresca. The soaked seeds are gelatinous in texture and are used in gruels, porridges and puddings. Ground chia is used in baked goods including breads, cakes and biscuits. Chia sprouts are sometimes grown on porous clay figurines which has led to the popular (U.S.) cultural icon of the chia pet.

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on December 11, 2011.
We're now IN PRODUCTION, with trailers up and Episode Zero nearly done! Now we just need to get ourselves into Episode One!
About this project
A web series planned for late 2011, THE ADVENTURES OF JACK UZI (title tentative) follows Jack Fitch, master spy, as he gets involved with a new spy academy in Michigan. Tossed into the deep end, he is forced to draft his misfit students to help him solve a bizarre case. What do cellphones, pink lightning, and an army of Ren-faire rejects have in common?
The answer will surprise you.
The reason will confuse you.
The story will amuse you.
See for yourself!
With series creator Michael Andaluz busy running the cast and crew ragged, I've been asked to run this campaign--after all, I'm taking care of his website, parts of his script, wearing the fish-hat (don't ask!), and I-don't-know-how-much-else... but I have to hand it to him, this story is *amazingly* tight, and we're getting fantastic people to work with us. The filming schedule is already pretty intense, and it's just going to get more exciting from here. Episode Zero has all but a couple of shots to go, and Episode One is filling up nicely. We've got some stuff that's sensitive to the time of year, so we're rushing ahead to film that while we can... and when you get to see some of the *beautiful* stuff in Episode Five, you will be glad that you backed this series.

Pregnant? Here's Another Reason to Avoid Exposure to Common Household Chemicals
Thursday, September 4th, 2014
Some common household items could put pregnant women's unborn children at risk, new research from the the journal Epidemiology shows.
The study found that a woman's exposure to a group of chemicals called phenols, especially triclosan and parabens, which are found in many soaps and cosmetics, were linked to baby boys' increased birth weights at birth and also at age 3. Higher birth weights are dangerous as they can indicate future problems, like obesity.
Chemicals in the phenol family are endocrine interrupters, and Science Daily reports that they include:
- Parabens: used as a preservative in cosmetics and healthcare products
- Triclosan: some toothpastes and soaps carry this antibacterial agent and pesticide
- Benzophenone-3: a UV filter found in sun protection products
- Dichlorophenols: used in the manufacture of indoor deodorisers
- Bisphenol A (BPA): used in making polycarbonate-based plastics, like plastic bottles, CD cases, etc.
- Epoxy resins: found in lining of food cans, dental amalgams
While previous studies of this variety have focused more exclusively on BPA exposure, this was the first of its kind to test other chemicals. And, in testing more chemicals, researchers found that 95 percent of the more than 500 women in involved in the study had been exposed to them. Yikes!
And though many of these chemicals may seem unavoidable, there is some good news—BPA in food packaging for infants and young children was banned in 2013 and will be banned for all food packaging starting Jan. 1, 2015.

There appears to be some movement on a fiscal cliff deal.
President Barack Obama met with Congressional leaders Friday to talk about a deal.
The president spoke to reporters after the meeting.
Obama said the Senate majority and minority leaders are currently involved in deal discussions, but the president stressed if that deal does not pass, Congress should vote on a basic package to preserve tax cuts for middle class Americans.
Senate leaders say they hope to reach a compromise that could be presented to lawmakers by Sunday. That would be just a little more than 24 hours before the deadline.

Meltwater pulse 1A
Meltwater pulse 1A was a considerable post-glacial sea level rise of about 20 m in less than 500 years,[1] perhaps just 200 years.[2]
The meltwater event occurred in a period of rapid climate change when the Holocene glacial retreat was going on during the end of the last ice age. Several researchers have narrowed the period of the pulse to between 13,000 and 14,600 years ago.[3]
The pulse is framed historically between the Bølling-Allerød (B-A) interstadial and the Antarctic Cold Reversal/Older Dryas events.[4]
Computer modelling, published in 2012, suggests that the collapse of the ice-sheet saddle between Canada and Greenland can explain the meltwater pulse.[5] A 2014 study that examined dust released from melting icebergs onto the seabed of the Southern Ocean suggests a significant meltwater contribution from a collapse of Antarctic ice sheets.[6]
Whether the pulse originated in the North or South, the event probably relates to the North Atlantic Deep Water thermohaline circulation which transports heat between the North Atlantic and the South Pacific.[4] At different times research supported the pulse originating in the north or south but it is certain there was some component from both,[4] and perhaps the majority coming from the north.[7]
Sea level[edit]
The sea level is estimated to have risen at a rate of 37 to 65mm/yr - the pulse was much larger than current sea level rise, which has been judged to be in the region of 2[8] to 3mm/yr.[9]

Step 1: Dissasemble speakers.
Step 2: Speaker design
Step 3: Build the speaker boxes
Step 4: Speaker box sides and horn.
Step 6: Install speakers
Just some thought's from a speaker/sound geek
If you buy one try to find one seperate from the power supply and get a good one, about 4 amp 12 volt in case your want to play with bigger speakers.
You can also find lower power and more basic amps based on this chip's design. Any how the amp and power supply run about 25 30 dollars and put most bigger amps to shame as far as sound quality and efficency. Really you did a nice job and I get a kick out of doing the same thing. hacking the good stuff out of cheaply executed designs.

In our latest starlet in profile interview, we speak to Stephen Sama ahead of this afternoon's Barclays Premier Reserve League North clash at home to Bolton.
The Germany youth international has continued to make great strides since arriving from Borussia Dortmund back in 2009 and enjoyed a brief cameo for the first-team during a 3-3 draw with Valerenga in pre-season.
Here he tells us who he hates facing in training, why he looks up to Jamie Carragher and who has creative licence with his iPod.
Who would win at 'skill skool'?
Raheem Sterling. I'd put him up against Craig Roddan but I think Raheem would win comfortably. He's so difficult to mark in training and when we play four on four he's just too tricky to stop.
If you could holiday anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I don't have much time for going on holiday! If I was going to pick a break I would go to somewhere like China or America. It'd need to be somewhere I've never been.
Last album downloaded?
I don't download music. I just give my iPod to Matty McGiveron and get him to update it for me! He is our dressing room DJ and the man who has all of the latest tunes. If you really want to know what my latest album is you'd have to ask him!
Last film watched?
I watched The Town with Ben Affleck. It was worth seeing.
Favourite TV show?
To be honest I just watch Sky Sports. Any football show and I'm happy.
Worst dresser?
He's one of my best friends but I'll still have to say Toni Silva. He has some strange combinations.
Worst taste in music?
That's hard to say. I don't get involved in the choice of music. I'll say Toni Silva but only because he'll laugh at it!
Best moment in football so far?
Being with the first-team for the pre-season match in Norway. That was a great experience for me and having that brief taste has made me even more determined.
Worst or most embarrassing moment relating to football...
It would be when I've seen a player die on the football pitch. I've only seen it on TV but it has a massive impact on you. It is so sad and takes months for you to forget about it. I remember when Marc Vivien Foe passed away, it was so upsetting. This should never happen on a football pitch.
Which three teammates would be the most useful to get trapped on a desert island with - and why?
Michael Ngoo, Toni Silva and Andre Wisdom. They are all so funny and I have become really good friends with them. We would have a laugh even if we were stuck out there for a long time!
If you could take one of the lads to have their haircut, who would it be?
I would like to shave all of Toni Silva's hair off. He would you look better with a skinhead!
Teammate who spends longest in the mirror?
Hmm (long pause). Maybe Suso.
Best ever player in your position?
I have always liked William Gallas but since coming here I've looked up to Jamie Carragher. He has given me some great advice and been a real inspiration to me. He's a fantastic defender.
Best thing about playing for Liverpool FC?
Just being here is incredible. Liverpool are one of the biggest teams in the world and I feel so proud to be here.
And just finally, the reserves play Bolton today - it's important to build upon the win over Chelsea, isn't it?
We played really well against Chelsea and got our first league win which was important. Now we need to build on that and get a positive result today. We having been working really hard in training and I think the lads are starting to get their reward in matches.

Corrections Services, which oversees the custody and care of adult offenders and includes individuals under Probation and Parole supervision; Public Safety Services, which encompasses Louisiana State Police, the Office of Motor Vehicles, the State Fire Marshal's Office and Highway Safety Commission; and the Office of Juvenile Justice, which oversees the juvenile justice system in Louisiana.
The Secretary, who is appointed by the Governor, serves as the Department's chief executive officer. The Corrections Services Deputy Secretary, Undersecretary, Assistant Secretary and Chief of Operations all report directly to the Secretary.
Office of the Secretary
The Secretary is responsible for the functioning and control of all programs within the Department. He formulates rules and regulations and determines policy regarding management, personnel, and total operations. He leads and supports central office and field unit staffs, which are charged with carrying out the work of the agency.
As part of the Secretary's Office, the Deputy Secretary is responsible for special duties and functions as assigned by the Secretary. Primary among them are the coordination and management of the Department's Critical Incident Stress Management response, support and facilitation of the Risk Review Panel process and oversight of the Legal Services division.
Other executive staff carry out long and short-term projects. Under the direction of the General Counsel, The Legal Office provides a variety of services in representing the legal interests of the Department. The attorneys working within the Legal Office advise the Secretary, executive staff, and other employees of their legal rights and responsibilities in the development and implementation of agency policy and procedure.

Office of Offender Reentry
Under the authority of the Assistant Secretary, the Office of Offender Reentry is responsible for the development and management of reentry programming. The program uses innovative approaches such as resource building, sound policy and collaborative efforts among agencies to support an offender's successful reintegration into society so that he/she can be productive citizens upon release from prison.
Office of the Undersecretary/Chief of Staff
Under the authority of the Undersecretary, the Office of Management and Finance provides management support to all units in activities involving fiscal management, grant administration, information services, food services, maintenance and construction, performance audit, procurement and contractual review, human resources, and the Prison Enterprises Division. The Undersecretary serves as Chief of Staff for Headquarters operations and, as such, coordinates policies and addresses organizational issues that impact the Department.
Office of Adult Services
Under the direction of the Chief of Operations, the Office of Adult Services (OAS) provides administrative oversight of and support for the operational programs of the adult institutions and provides technical assistance to local jail facilities. The Chief of Operations leads and directs the Department's operational audit teams, which conduct audits of all adult institutions, non-secure contract facilities, and community work release centers and assist all units with matters relative to the maintenance of American Correctional Association (ACA) accreditation. OAS staff support the Administrative Remedy Procedure and disciplinary appeal processes, screen and recommend offenders for participation in work release, and maintain central office ACA accreditation. There are thirteen adult institutions under the broad authority of Chief of Operations, including two operated under contractual agreements with private management corporations (Allen Correctional Center and Winn Correctional Center).

Today, there are nearly 20,000 offenders incarcerated in state correctional facilities. The mission of Prison Enterprises is to lower the costs of incarceration by providing productive job opportunities to offenders that instill occupational and skills training, while producing quality products and services for sale to state and local governments, non-profit organizations, political subdivisions and others. Operation of Prison Enterprises' programs serves to further the Department of Corrections Reentry Initiative by enabling offenders to increase the potential for successful rehabilitation and reintegration into society.
Prison Enterprises employs approximately 72 full-time employees in its operations statewide.
Pardon Board
The five members of the Board of Pardons are appointed by the Governor. The Board meets on regularly scheduled, publicly announced dates to consider applications for pardon, sentence commutation and restoration of rights and privileges of citizenship. All of the Board's recommendations for clemency are forwarded to the Governor for final action.
Parole Board
The seven members of the Board of Parole are appointed by the Governor. Board members function in three-person panels to grant or deny parole to eligible offenders.

Many cruise itineraries will take you down the iconic Inside Passage. But 2013 might be the year to ride the Alaska Marine Highway, celebrating 50 years of service. This 3,500-mile route connects Bellingham, Washington to Dutch Harbor, Alaska, and is a veritable lifeline to some 30 communities, many of which are not connected by roads. The views are stunning, and with a unique promotion this year -- visitors can win travel through a monthly Golden Ticket giveaway -- they can also be free.
Take a Seat at the Chef's Table, Skip the Jerky
Alaskan cuisine at its best just got easier to savor. The popular Alaska Fish House in Ketchikan launched its Chef's Table for 2013. The nightly four-course menu will change with each catch of the day. If wild salmon, halibut, black cod and Dungeness crab make your mouth water, pull up a seat.
Stay on a Luxury Cruise Liner, Skip the Igloo
Fulfill the fantasy of floating past majestic icebergs, orcas and humpback whales while having the luxurious amenities aboard an Alaskan cruise. Major cruise lines such as Celebrity and Princess are adding more ships and departures to Alaska in 2013 and, with more cabins to fill, we're expecting extra deals, especially for May and September travel.

Make sure to click on under the video, which will bring up the Closed Caption Settings, then choose "On". After you've made your changes, click Save.

Birthday Books
Another more positive way of keeping dates of people we love is to maintain a birthday book. I started mine fifteen years ago and have also added death dates of close relatives and a few friends who have died since 1991. We do not keep a Bible with family dates, but this book is important to me. People always enjoy being remembered on their special day! The book also includes some wedding anniversaries.
Over the past fifty-two years of marriage I have also kept address books, and they are fun to look back through. My mother's address books are also in a file, because one never knows when that information may be important to a genealogist!

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Is Kim Zolciak Still Married to Kroy Biermann?
These days, it seems like our Atlanta Housewives are having some trouble with their men. New girl Kenya Moore can barely get a straight answer out of her quasi-boo, and NeNe Leakes is busy backsliding into dangerous territory with ex-husband, Gregg.
But one housewife who seems to have no problems on that front is Kim Zolciak!
Though Kim has stumbled in the past (Big Poppa anyone?), it seems as though she's truly found happiness with husband, Atlanta Falcons defensive end, Kroy Biermann.
Not only are the two as strong as ever, they recently just celebrated their first wedding anniversary!
And if there's still any doubt that these two are in for the long haul, their two kids (both born within the last two years!) should put those questions to rest. It's obvious these two lovebirds can't keep their hands off each other!
Are you surprised Kim and Kroy are still together?

text: Hi, I have been asked to build a video capture system for a friend. He'd like a FreeBSD system with svideo input. I'm to grab a video stream from the svideo input and write an mpeg. My stream will vary from 30 minutes to two hours in length. I believe the source will run at 30 frames per second. He would like to input a filename for output and the number of minutes to capture data. Can anyone recommend a video card and the software required for data capture? Thanks, Bill

Financial Statements - Accounting for Equities
Preferred Stock Characteristics
Preferred stock (preferred shares) is a hybrid between common stock and bonds. It provides a specific dividend that is paid before any dividend is paid to common stockholders.
- Preferred stocks pay to stockholders a predefined dividend that is based on a specific amount, or is a percentage of the preferred stock's par value.
- Like common stock, preferred stocks represent partial ownership in a company.
- Preferred stockholders do not usually enjoy any of the voting rights of common stockholders or any additional net income distributions beyond the stated dividend payout, unless they are participating preferred stockholders.
Superiority in the Event of Liquidation
- Preferred stockholders have precedence over common stockholders in the event of liquidation.
- Bondholders always have precedence over preferred stockholders from a dividend and liquidation point of view.
- Unlike bondholders, preferred stockholders cannot force a company into bankruptcy.
- From an accounting point of view, preferred stock is classified as equity, and the dividend payments are classified in a similar fashion as common stock dividends.
- Unlike interest paid on bonds, the fixed dividend paid out to preferred stockholders is not deductible from earnings before taxes (EBT) and is not tax deductible.
In general, preferred stock can have several attributes; they can be:
- Cumulative - This is preferred stock on which dividends accrue in the event that the issuer does not make timely dividend payments. Unpaid preferred dividends are called "dividends in arrears". Most preferred stocks are cumulative.
- Non-cumulative - This is preferred stock on which dividends do not accrue in the event that the issuer does not make timely dividend payments.
- Participating - This is preferred stock that, in addition to a regular dividend, pays a dividend when common stock dividends exceed a specified amount.
- Convertible - This is preferred stock that can be converted into a specified amount of common stock at the holder's option.
- Retractable - This is preferred stock that grants the stockholder the right to redeem the stock at specified future date(s) and price(s).
- Perpetual - These are preferred shares that have no maturity date.
- Callable (Non-perpetual) - These are preferred shares that have a predetermined maturity date. At the maturity date, the company will buy back the preferred shares at their par value.
Voting Rights
Most preferred stock is non-voting. However, most of these securities also include a clause that would give holders a predetermined voting right if dividends are not paid for a certain period of time (in most cases, three years).
Stock Issuance
The issuing company will normally receive cash in exchange for shares (stock). The shares may or may not have a stipulated par value. If they do have a par value, the excess paid to the par value will be recorded in additional paid-in capital (paid-in capital) account. If the stock sold has no par value, the full amount will be recorded in the stock account.
XYZ Company has issued 800,000 common shares at a price of $5 per share.
With par value of $3 per share:
Without par value:
Stock Repurchase
A program by which a company buys back its own shares from the marketplace, reducing the number of outstanding shares. This is usually an indication that the company's management thinks the shares are undervalued.
Because a share repurchase reduces the number of shares outstanding (i.e. supply), it increases earnings per share and tends to elevate the market value of the remaining shares.
With par value of $3 per share:
