42 year old man | Glencoe, IL, USA | Seeking women 32-47 within 50 miles
Not your average Joe
Good looking guy looking for a woman who is looking for an exciting relationship that may lead to something more. I would like to find someone who will pretend to be impressed with my self-inflated over exaggerated stories of greatness. I will try my best to be cool and appear to be more then what I really am for about 4 months. After that I will slowly ease you into who I really am. After smoothing over the lies I would expect some commitment in marriage and at least two kids. After marriage I will want kids as soon as possible. Of course I will take no part in raising them and will provide my expert opinion on how the job is being done on a daily basis. I will also set up an office that I can resort to when the kids get out of hand in order to not interfere with the mother child bonding process. If you need a night out with your friends I be sure to call you every 10 minutes with crying children and complain that they are out of control and that I need you back right away. I will also expect the house to be clean while I am out boozing it up with my friends. I will complain about how my wife spends too much and has the nerve to get older as the years go by. I will also provide daily updates on your physical appearance in the form of "wow your ass is twice what it use to be" while I allow myself to grow a big sexy hair covered gut. At the end of each day I will need sex to help relax me from a stressful day of hearing the kids cry. If this type of relationship interests you then I am *NOT* they guy for you. If you would like to develop a new friendship that could lead to more with a guy that is not your average Joe, I would love to hear from you.

Six-figure salaries are the norm for Gynecologists in the United States, with median pay hovering around $192K per year. Although a strong majority have medical coverage and a majority have dental coverage, nearly one in five claim no health benefits at all. Most workers in this position report very high levels of job satisfaction. The majority of Gynecologists (64 percent) who took the survey are female. The data for this snapshot was collected from individuals who took PayScale's salary survey.
Add this chart to your site:
Copy and paste this HTML:
A physician specializing in gynecology specializes in medical treatment for women, focusing primarily on the reproductive system; this position is typically found in private practice, but also in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Gynecologists generally work traditional office hours, though some who work in hospitals will have additional extended hours.Read More...
An aspiring gynecologist must obtain a pre-medical degree from a university, followed by four years of medical school and a four-year residency program. Three additional years of residency and additional licensing exams may be required for those who are specializing in a particular area.
Gynecologists provide medical care for women, particularly related to pregnancy and the reproductive system. They may have a wide range of responsibilities, including: performing tests and annual exams; diagnosing infections and illnesses; providing prenatal care throughout pregnancy; providing postnatal care after childbirth; maintaining up-to-date knowledge of medical and technological advances; maintaining confidential patient records; prescribing and advising patients about contraception; explaining procedures and test results; addressing information regarding patients' fertility; monitoring patients' conditions; administering medication; referring patients to specialists when necessary; conducting research; and coordinating the activities of nurses and other medical staff.
Those in this position must have excellent communication skills and truly care about women's' healthcare. Subjects are often sensitive in nature, so professionalism and the ability to keep patients comfortable throughout their visits are very important.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Individuals who have worked for fewer than five years report earning $184K on average, a generous six-figure sum for those just starting out. Gynecologists who work for 10 to 20 years in their occupation tend to earn about $203K. More than 20 years of experience seem related to solid financial gains; veterans in this group report earning a median of $235K.

In this two year project, 40-50 people in southeastern PA will have the opportunity to direct their own services with the assistance of a Supports Broker/Recovery Coach.
The project will recruit people interested in directing their own services. This may include people already directing some of their own services and using agencies for some of their support or people in traditional service models who want to move to a person-directed model but have hesitated in the past because of lack of support. Project participants must be eligible for and receiving home and community-based services through the Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) or the Office of Long-Term Living (OLTL). The project will also specifically recruit people who have dual diagnosis and meet the above criteria (have a mental health diagnosis and are eligible to receive Recovery Coaching/Certified Peer Specialist through Medical Assistance).
The Institute on Disabilities at Temple University, Values into Action-PA, the Mental Health Association of Southeastern PA and Philadelphia Coordinated Health Care are collaborating to create a "Supports Brokerage." This Supports Brokerage will recruit, hire and train Supports Brokers. Recovery Coaches (Certified Peer Specialists) who are trained in person-driven models will also be recruited and connected to the Supports Brokerage.
Project participants will select a Support Broker/Recovery Coach to assist them with planning, budgeting and arranging formal and informal services and supports. Project participants can either choose from the Supports Brokers/Recovery Coaches that have been recruited by the project staff or can refer someone to be trained and supported through the Supports Brokerage.
This demonstration is a project of the Institute on Disabilities at Temple University and is supported by a grant from the Pennsylvania Developmental Disabilities Council.
Eligibility for Participation:
1. Person is interested in directing his/her own services
2. Eligible for and receiving home and community-based services through the Office of Developmental Programs or the Office of Long-Term Living
3. Live in SE Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, Delaware, Chester, Montgomery, Bucks)
Participant Requirements:
1. Participate in an interview/survey at both the beginning and end of the project
2. Use the services of a Supports Broker/Recovery Coach
3. Attend an orientation for project participants
4. Be willing to share Individual Support Plan and service expenditure information with the project
Questions: Contact Kristin Ahrens at firstname.lastname@example.com
or 215-204-9543
Please fill out the below questions as completely as possible. Some of the questions ask very personal information. The project is committed to supporting a diverse group of participants so we need to collect this information as part of the application process. The information on the applications will only be shared with Kristin Ahrens, the Project Director, and 2-3 advisory board members who will help review the applications.

I'm looking at a setup very similar to yours (I'll checkout that specific model before buying in fact).
A few questions:
1. are you able to run compiz/unity relativly smoothly on the intel chip?
2. if you run compiz/unity on the intel chip, does it produce a lot of heat?/fan noise?
I'm hoping for a setup where my normal desktop enviroment will live with the nvidia card off, and I'll turn that on when I need it
Yes, compiz/unity runs just nice and smoothly, my i7-2630QM's GPU is more than capable of handling most things. It happily runs games like Alien Arena, although the nvidia card is noticeably faster at running the same games.
The fan usually is off or running quietly. It's much quieter than my old XPS 15 with the nvidia 8600, but to be fair that was one of the the shonky cards that tended to blow up if it got too hot, so Dell made the fan run more aggressively.
On the bumblebee project it says that one of the future aims is to look at automatically turning the nvidia card off when it's not being used, which will be great for battery power.

It's not the customer's responsibility if an error occurred between the customer walking out of the store and the bank turning over the money for the purchase. From that point, it's time for the store and the bank to work together to find out what happened and how to fix it. Contacting the card owner should have be done, but the
(yes buyer is the right term) did not shoplift anything, nor should they be accused of it.
I bought the game, steam said it was paid for, steam let me download the game, steam sent me the receipt I paid and it cleared. There is no need for me to check if the funds were removed. It was like every other of the purchases made for steam. But somewhere after steam getting the it's paid for from the bank to them actually receiving the money, steam's payment processor ran into an error that caused the bank to deny payment. The card was never declined, when that happens transactions don't go through, you don't get the game, you receive a message and a email receipt that states the card was denied.
As far as the bank goes they had to look pretty hard to find the transaction that was in question, it took 3 CS calls just to get someone who could find it. The 2 other times, they basically said there was never even an attempt made. Steam on the other hand, instead of just getting in contact with me to sort it out, suspended the account and denied access to all games previously bought and not in question, so yes the analogy I gave was more accurate because in the analogy a procedural error occurred after payment was approved and in this actual steam purchase case, a payment processor made an error after the transaction was approved.
No I understand there was no NEED to check your bank account, however it is always a good idea to do so after some transactions, just to make sure everything is ship shape. Maybe if you looked, you would notice the error and have contacted them earlier... Given that they can legally lock people out of hundreds of games, I assume the reason why they lock you out is to get your attention. Being the big bad dog in the neighborhood that they are, rather than contacting you, they force you to contact them. Maybe it is unethical but from their point of view, they probably get people running back, paying whatever was owed to get their games back. If they just send polite emails saying "you owe us some money, but there will not be any consequences if you don't pay", I am sure people will not be paying as fast
The other thing is, what if you had exploited the system flaw on purpose, bought the game as a gift, and gifted to another account? Do they suspend both accounts? Do they only suspend one but leave the game?

3' coiled cord connecting one of the hot shoe adapters (attached to the camera ) directly with the AF-500FTZ flash
Reviewed by 3 customers
With my flash on a Stroboframe, the cord stays out of the way in both landscape and portrait mode and stretches easily enough to mount the flash off to the side for tabletop work. Excellent product.
When used with P-TTL flashguns on Pentax cameras it makes so much difference to get the flash off the camera. At 9ft long and without the tension of the shorter coiled version tugging the flash back towards the camera, this lead is extremely liberating!Even with import duty and [...], this lead was less than half the price asked by UK retailers including [...] ([...] refusing to sell to a UK address) and it arrived in a staggering 2 or 3 days which was quicker than I could have expected from a UK mail order company!
I use these Pentax flash connecting accessories when shooting outdoors in bright light and many other applications. I love the versatility of the system and the fact that the on camera flash can be used in conjunction with off camera flash, and still retain full auto capabilities. It's especially useful when the camera is in manual exposure, and then the flash is used on P-TTL (or TTL on older models) to provide fill in high contrast situations.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) - The San Francisco 49ers have signed undrafted fullback Jason Schepler to a three-year contract.
The team announced the move Tuesday.
An accomplished run blocker, Schepler played in 49 games with 26 starts and was a team captain for Northern Illinois. He finished with 14 receptions for 177 yards and two touchdowns, including three catches for 65 yards and one TD as a senior on the way to an Orange Bowl berth.
He helped the Huskies to a No. 12 NCAA ranking for yards rushing in 2012 at 238.2 yards per game. The 23-year-old Schepler used a medical redshirt year in 2011 after catching a career-high eight passes for 93 yards the previous season.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes rose in March to the highest level in three years, pointing to higher sales this spring.
The National Association of Realtors said Monday that its seasonally adjusted index for pending home sales rose 1.5 percent to 105.7. That's the highest since April 2010, when a homebuyer's tax credit boosted sales. It's also above February's reading of 104.1.
There is generally a one- to two-month lag between a signed contract and a completed sale. Contract signings rose in the South, West and Midwest, and were unchanged in the Northeast.
Steady job gains and near-record low mortgage rates have helped drive home sales up over the past year. Signed contracts are 7 percent higher than the same month a year earlier.
But completed sales have slowed in recent months — and dipped in March — because of a limited supply of available homes on the market. The number of homes for sale has fallen nearly 17 percent in the past year to 1.93 million, the Realtors' group said last week. Buyer traffic is 25 percent higher than it was a year ago. Rising demand and low supply is fueling more home construction.

Key Takeaways from IHI's 2012 Annual CEO and Leadership Summit
This year's IHI Forum provided an opportunity to think deeply about the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in healthcare. Key themes included implications of the Affordable Care Act, including the need to meet capacity and deliver quality care for an ever-growing patient population as well as the need to cut through all the noise in healthcare and focus on the right areas that will facilitate positive changes to our inundated healthcare system.
The forum was filled with industry gurus sharing their perspectives on the challenges and opportunities in healthcare. I found several of the discussions to be meaningful and wanted to share a few of my key takeaways:
1.       Derek Feeley, Director General, Health & Social Care in the Scottish Government shared his experience leading his government through healthcare change. He noted every organization has the same five challenges as it relates to transformation and explained how fixing one issue alone is never enough. To make changes at a fundamental level, economic, demographic, epidemiological, population health and managing expectations all must be taken into consideration.
2.       Dan Health, author, spoke about decision making. According to Health, decision making is not inherently easy for most senior executives, including healthcare professionals. With so many changes required in today's environment, good decision making is critical. Health noted we need to provide senior leaders with the tools and techniques necessary to make informed, thoughtful and fact-based decisions in a timely manner. This resonated with me because Health's level of reasoning can be related to the principles of Lean transformation. Health's methodology is very similar to A3 thinking, mistake proofing and 3P. Health's four stages of decision making includes:
·       Options
·       Evaluation
·       Decision
·       Aftermath
3.       Susan DeVore, President & CEO of Premier Healthcare Alliance, spoke on a number of macro topics, but one in particular stuck with me: the evolution of healthcare. DeVore spoke about two trends that will continue indefinitely: vertical integration and horizontal integration. On the vertical front we will continue to see mergers, acquisitions and partnerships. On the horizontal front we will see more mature managed care models and new services that round out the continuum of care for each respective patient population.
4.       The best takeaway for me was during the panel discussion with former administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Don Berwick, M.D. Several people shared insights into how to best utilize various value equations to justify healthcare spending. They talked about the numerator as quality or value and the denominator as level of effort or cost, but Dr. Berwick challenged the group to dismiss that theory. His message is that cutting costs is essential to not only the healthcare economy, but the economy as a whole. Because there is no formula that will justify the value healthcare can provide, conversations about "bending the cost curve" are futile. Rather, the focus needs to be on cost cutting, and if we don't drastically reduce cost immediately, the problem will be solved by more draconian means. I could not agree with Dr. Berwick more.
Mike Chamberlain is president of Simpler North America, and a key player in the formation of Simpler's healthcare practice, which has led more than 150 healthcare systems across the world in the application of Lean concepts and management.

Not worth it at all. firstly you pay $10 for this game which is barely in alpha at the current playability, it is optimized like a potato. they have promised so much more than they can deliver at this point, once you get into the game the graphics are disgusting and gameplay is horrid. you can pretty much just mine craft and build but even then, very, very limited.
I regret my purchase of this game, it has proven to be a waste of money to me, it looked great on kickstarter and desura but once you play it, it is truly crap. although it is still in alpha but i see no future for this game.

Presenter: Ingrid Just
Antarctic penguins
News from Jeremy Smith in Antartica.
Each week Ingrid Just catches up with Jeremy Smith who is Station Manager at Casey station in Antartica.Here is his latest letter detailing life in Antarctica : "I enjoyed a short holiday over the weekend, just overnight. Went only 8 km away as the skua flies, to one of our field huts called Jack's Donga. The original donga was an old tractor cab erected at the site by a chef at Wilkes station in the 1960s (when you didn't need detailed approval for such things). He wanted a place to get away from the social crush of the station, and picked a site on a moraine line (line of ice-eroded boulders) overlooking a group of small islands, accessible (except in summer) across the sea-ice although we approached from inland over the ice sheet. His donga is now used as the toilet, with a slightly bigger hut erected nearby, originally made from an old refrigerated shipping container.It was a holiday for the four of us, but we did some radar training on the way, and our communications technician also brought portable equipment that allowed him to confirm the possibility of establishing a microwave link back to Casey, line of sight over an 8 km distance. Through it we could make telephone calls, including to Australia. It was all a bit surreal, including to those we called there from our remote little box on the ice. But it will all have application for science data transfer from field camps in future.Next day in bitterly cold weather we decided not to go for the walk we had planned. Temperatures dropped to below -30 and there was a sharp wind making the chill dramatically worse. But 'extreme carpet bowls' had to be played by two of the party, one of whom collects odd photographs, so the green carpet was rolled out on to the hard snow, and the bowls sent bouncing down the uneven surface.We got back in good time for a shower (Bliss) and dinner, before the Sunday movie was screened. In another jolt between the sublime and the ridiculous, it was a 1941 Ronald Reagan film (almost certainly from the old US station Wilkes) called Kings Row, which explored some dark themes of medical mutilation,murder and suicide. The last five minutes of the film were missing so an internet search was made to find out what happened: as well as a triumphant conclusion, we learned that Hollywood had filtered out even darker themes of child nymphomania and incest.What an odd weekend, I expect you are thinking. I just thought it might give you a bit of flavour and background to our next chat, if you would like to explore some of the themes touched on. Although there are other things not yet covered as well, of course. I'll follow your lead.By the way, I'm getting fan mail! From one man, who was a diesel mechanic here a few years ago, who is awake at 0500 on Mondays as he has an early start at work. Listening fills him with happy nostalgia for his Casey days. "

Rain causes havoc at The Ojai
Rain wipes out most matches
The Ojai Valley Tennis Club purchased two powerful leaf blowers last year hoping they would never be used for the purpose of drying courts.
But the investment proved extremely valuable on Thursday afternoon.
The engines of the STIHL BR 380 blowers were revved up several times at Libbey Park as the 112th annual Ojai Valley Tennis Tournament was plagued by major rain delays.
The backlog of matches on the first full day of the event caused a scheduling nightmare as college and junior players throughout Ojai waited and waited to take the court.
Some never did.
Nearly an entire junior draw was washed out, and only one-third of the 256 junior matches scheduled for Thursday were actually played. The remainder had to be rescheduled for Friday.
Potentially five junior finals could be moved from Saturday to Sunday as a result.
The quarterfinals of the Pacific-12 Conference Men's Team Championship had to be played under the lights at Libbey Park.
The second quarterfinal match between third-seeded Stanford and No. 7 Utah was scheduled to begin at 2 p.m, but didn't start until 7:49.
The match was still going when the paper went to press, making it the latest match ever played in the history of Ojai. Stanford had a 2-0 lead.
In the first quarterfinal, fourth-seeded Cal beat No. 5 Washington 4-2.
Cal plays top-seeded UCLA in the semifinals today at noon at Libbey Park while No. 2 USC awaits the Stanford-Utah winner at 3 p.m.
"This has been the worst weather day we've had in recent memory," said tournament Executive Director Mike Borders. "It's extremely frustrating for everyone. It's frustrating for the tournament officials, for the umpires, the players and the spectators."
The Cal-Washington match started an hour late and was soon interrupted by rain during the doubles matches.
After the players returned to the court and Cal clinched the doubles point, the match was delayed again for more than three hours before singles play started.
The Cal players stuck around Libbey during the extended break while Washington's players returned to their housing and passed the time by eating, watching TV and playing games on their iPhones.
Meanwhile, Stanford and Utah waited to see if they would ever begin their match.
Stanford head coach John Whitlinger was busy trying to find a local restaurant open late enough to feed his team.
"You definitely have to make sure they have food," Whitlinger said. "That is probably the trickiest part, figuring out their eating schedules. But you just have to deal with it. Tennis players are used to rain delays. It happens. There is nothing you can do about Mother Nature."
In the Pac-12 Women's Individual Championships at the Ojai Valley Athletic Club, only the first round of singles was played on Thursday.
The second round of singles was rescheduled today at 10 a.m. The first round of doubles will be played at 8 a.m.
As dark clouds hovered overhead throughout the day, tournament organizers huddled in a room to begin devising a new schedule.
The word "canceled" was shouted multiple times when court monitors called to report their courts slicked status.
The dreary weather was at least a boon for the tea tent at Libbey Park with fans and players drinking ample amounts from china cups to keep warm.
Although they are happy with their purchase, tournament organizers are praying the blowers won't be used to dry rain from the courts for the rest of the tournament.
The weather forecast for the remaining three days calls for sunshine and 70-day degree temperatures.
"The blowers are pretty handy and have a lot of power," said Bruce Purvine, the venue setup chairman. "But we would much rather use them just to clear leaves."

The taller gearing might be okay with clubman bars, or even a Triumph Euro bend, but the aerodynamic profile of this bike is all wrong for tall gearing.
Jud, you realize that the stock setup is 15/43 (2.87), right?
Your gearing of 16/45 is 2.81, whereas 16/43 is 2.69. I'm not sure why you were aiming for 16/46 (2.88) because that is basically equivalent to stock. But, if you're like me and swap in the 14T for dirt duty, then I agree it's probably a good choice.
One thing I've found with doing this with a 14,16/48 combo is that I can't remove/install the 16T counter sprocket without taking out the rear axle. Complicates things and adds time. I even have a 110 link (IIRC) chain. Can you do this swap with stock chain (106 links) and without removing the axle?
And I agree with your aerodynamic statement.
Check out PBI for numerous options for KLR sprockets. They are aluminum, but I've had good results with them. Hard to find those odd sizes in steel.

From: Martin & Paul's Surf 'n' Turf

From: Catherine's Family Kitchen
Catherine's weekend dinner recipe, use with the best of Irish ingredients.
From: The Afternoon Show
A delicious Irish dish made with typical ingredients from the abundance of local produce at our fingertips.
From: Four Live
This recipe is made from all Irish ingredients including Green Saffron Spices and Glenilen Farm butter
From: Four Live
The Happy Pear's version of this traditional classic, using all Irish ingredients!
My mom has been making this recipe for as long as I can remember. First, you bake the appley, cinnamony sponge, then you pour the steaming, rich caramel sauce over and allow it to sink in. Heaven with cream or custard. There are 140 varieties of apples that are native to Ireland with wonderful names like 'Cavan Rose' and 'Irish Molly'. Any eating or cooking apple will work, so have fun experimenting with different types, not the same old same old!
Ireland is very fortunate to have such an abundance of fresh seafood - so important as part of a varied and healthy diet. I love to experiment with new recipes, but I still come back to old favourites like fish chowder. I fell in love with seafood chowder on a wet October weekend in Doolin when I moved to Ireland many years ago. I use this basic mixture in several different ways - delish over a baked potato too!
Nothing is more Irish than a beef and Guinness casserole, but in the spirit of ish I had to change it up a bit. Guinness is quite bitter, so to balance that I took a cue from Moroccan cuisine and added dried prunes to the recipe. They break down and add to the rich, darkly delicious sauce. Every tagine needs a bit of spice, so I chose the allspice berry for another layer of warm flavour. You can add more root vegetables like parsnips and turnips for extra veggie power.

Billing and insurance can be confusing.
Common billing terms
If your date of service is prior to April 20 2012, please click here to view instructions on reading your invoice.
If your date of service is after April 20 2012, please click here to view instructions on reading your invoice.
Make sure your bill is actually a bill. Check carefully. What appears to be a bill may actually say: $0 balance due, your commercial carrier has been billed, this is a statement, or this is not a bill. If so, no payment is required at this point.
Carefully read every bill or statement from your doctor, insurance company or hospital. Do not assume that your insurance plan will take care of it for you. Call the telephone number on the document with any questions.
Always get the name and phone number of any insurance/hospital/physician office billing person you talk to. Note the date and time of the conversation. If you don't get the information you need, ask to speak with their supervisor. If you still are not satisfied, go up another level. Your next step would be to ask for a face-to-face meeting or an appeal of the payment matter. As a last resort, write a letter. Insurance companies and HMOs must respond to formal written appeals.
Sometimes employers fail to notify their health insurance plan about new employees eligible for coverage. Check with your benefits manager to make sure you are covered. This is particularly important if you have recently been hired or changed plans.
Keep all invoices, receipts, billing statements, bills, copies of checks and records of interactions with billing personnel. File them in chronological order in case you need to refer back.
Always call immediately if you notice a billing problem or if you do not understand the bill. The sooner you bring it to someone's attention, the fresher your experience will be with your doctors and hospital, and the easier it will be to track and resolve.
Full payment of your bill is expected within 30 days. If you are unable to pay, please call the hospital at (203) 863-3025 between the hours of 9am to 4pm Monday through Friday, or stop into the hospital cashier's office to discuss your situation with a financial counselor. Our staff will be happy to assist you. Patients may be eligible for state, federal or local funds that cover hospital bills. Greenwich Hospital also has free care funds available.
Contact the Connecticut Managed Care Ombudsman if you are still dissatisfied after repeated attempts to resolve your problems. That number is 1-866-HMO-4446.

Customer Reviews
Very good; should be gender neutral
First of all, this is a very good app for such an ironic mission: to get kids reading books on screens. The layout is great, options seem vast, and once the interface is a little more polished, it should be a real winner. However, as a parent of two girls, I was disappointed to see the host is a--surprise: white male! Also, it seems out of place in this day and age to make a child select their gender to experience reading. I understand the app wants to tailor the experience, but I think that can be done on age and interests alone.
Almost perfect
Children have the choice between reading the story themselves or having it read to them which makes it great for older children as well as the younger ones. The only reason I gave this app 4 stars instead of 5 is because the text is not hightlighted as it is read. I think from an educational stand point highlighting the text would draw more attention to the text so children could see and hear the words simultaneously.
Beyond disappointed!
I'm beyond disappointed. I paid the $50 for this app largely because I believed I'd be able to access it from my desktop as well as my ipad. It doesn't work at all. Customer service, thought, quick to respond, was not helpful in fixing the problem. Instead, admitted that it was a "known issue" when the app is first purchased from the ipad. What?? I want my money back. Such a waste of money. If an app is going to cost that much money, it sure seems like the developers would do a better job at making sure it works as advertised. Seriously, how can I get a refund??

I don't own any, but those expensive holders from Sinar called "Precision Sheet Film Holders" would probably be ideal for holding direct positive paper because they have a pressure plate similar to the Linhof holders to keep the paper precisely in the film plane with a stated tolerance of +/- 0.03mm. The Sinar design opens like a clamshell making it easier to load than the Linhof, which requires you to slide the sheet in from the narrow end.

The Department of Mathematics offers a rigorous core curriculum that challenges students to think abstractly, recognize and generalize patterns, communicate ideas, and define and solve problems. In addition, mathematics students can explore exciting developments in this rapidly changing field through special topics courses and independent research in areas such as game theory, chaos, and cryptography.
Mathematics students begin with a solid foundation in calculus, linear algebra and mathematical structures before proceeding to a variety of advanced courses and independent work. All mathematics majors are also required to finish an independent research project leading to a public presentation before they graduate. Some opt for a year-long honors project in the department instead. Recent research and honors projects have dealt with a wide array of topics such as measure theory and financial mathematics, analytic and numerical solutions to partial differential equations, and factorization algorithms and their application to computer security.
Faculty research encompasses a range of both pure and applied areas of mathematics, and advanced projects are often driven by both student and faculty interests. Recent student projects have dealt with projective geometry, computer security and distributed computing, and modeling everything from epidemics to stock prices. In addition, students have assisted with curriculum development projects centered around Mathematica, a computing environment for doing mathematics that is used extensively in introductory as well as advanced mathematics courses.
The department also offers a major in the area of Financial Mathematics. This field of study focuses on the properties of investment objects, investor's and firm's attitudes toward risk, and the consequences to individual investor behavior as well as that of the whole market. It is a subject of much current interest, both theoretical and practical, which combines mathematical reasoning with economic insights. Coursework in Financial Mathematics provides a solid stepping stone to careers in the actuarial field.
Mathematics majors have completed distinguished graduate programs in mathematics, computer science, statistics, economics, biomathematics, engineering and operations research. Other graduates have become respected teachers, or have been sought out by computer and consulting firms, insurance companies, actuaries, banks and government agencies.
The departmental curriculum contributes to the College's Key Competency Requirements as follows:

With a better understanding of how fullerenes and nanotubes form, scientists and material engineers would be in a better position to provide conditions more favorable for the formation of a particular fullerene or a particular chirality and length nanotube. Researchers have used a number of computational and theoretical tools to explain the experimental observations and develop a picture of the dynamics for fullerene growth, yet no universally agreed model exists for the fullerene growth. To understand the phenomenon of fullerene growth during its synthesis, researchers modeled a minimum energy growth route using a semi-empirical quantum mechanics code. C2 addition leading to C60 was modeled and three main routes, i.e. cyclic ring growth, pentagon and fullerene road, were studied.Posted: Sep 19th, 2006
New research coming out of France opens the route for the processing of numerous multifunctional materials with specific properties. So far, the design of new multifunctional devices based on the combination of different materials has been a real challenge in materials science. One way to develop multifunctional materials is the design of a surface at the nanometer scale. However, modifying the surface of materials by organizing nanoparticles of controlled size, morphology and amount of coverage into a uniform shell has proven to be a considerable hurdle. Numerous approaches are being developed for the synthesis of these materials using organic or inorganic coatings. French researchers used a coating process called supercritical fluid chemical deposition for nanomaterial surface design.Posted: Sep 15th, 2006
The use of design concepts adapted from nature is a promising new route to the development of advanced materials, with biominerals providing an ample source of examples. For instance, Nature's ability to manipulate poor engineering materials such as calcium carbonate to produce skeletal materials with considerable fracture resistance is an ideal inspiration for this approach. Researchers in the UK now report a simple and general approach to single crystal growth, employing structured films of generic polymers to direct the growth of single crystals. By using straightforward patterning techniques they are able to access a large variety of patterns with a continuous range of length scales from the macroscopic to the nanometer level.Posted: Sep 12th, 2006
Colloidal crystals constructed by monodispersed microspheres packed in ordered arrays represent a new class of advanced materials that are useful in many areas. For example, due to their novel light diffraction and photonic bandgap properties, colloidal crystals are promising elements in the fabrication of devices such as optical filters and switches, chemical and biochemical sensors, and photonic chips. Various self-assembly techniques have been developed to form colloidal crystals on different substrates, including the flow-cell methods, vertical deposition, micromolding in capillaries and so on. Although existing methods can provide colloidal crystals of different structures and quality, efficient approaches to high stability and large scale colloidal crystals are increasingly attracting attention. Generating ordered microstructures in the colloidal crystal films and colloidal crystals with different structures and configurations are particularly important in the fabrication of optical devices.Posted: Sep 8th, 2006
While growth processes of nanostructures are well understood, the stability of artificial nanostructures has not been thoroughly investigated. Fully understanding the fluctuations of nanostructures and their interactions with their surroundings is essential in order to achieve complete shape control of nanostructures. In recent work, French scientists address the morphogenesis, instability and catastrophic collapse of nanostructures.Posted: Sep 7th, 2006
Nanocrystal engineering learned from biominerals holds promises for the development in biology, chemistry, and materials science. Biominerals have inspired novel bottom-up approaches to the development of functional materials for some time now. The morphology, crystallographic orientation, incorporated organic molecules, and emergent properties of carbonate-based biominerals already have been demonstrated. Typical examples of these biominerals are certain layers of seashells, corals, and eggshells. New research now clarifies that biominerals are oriented architectures of calcium carbonate nanocrystals 20?100 nm in size with incorporation of biopolymers.Posted: Sep 6th, 2006
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered the most promising material for field emitters and a practical example are CNTs as electron emitters for field emission displays (FED). CNT emitters are generally fabricated by indirect growth methods such as screen-printing and electrophoresis. These methods show advantages in lowering the coating temperature and scale-up of the substrate size, but the direction of CNTs cannot be well controlled and a post-treatment process is generally necessary to enhance the performance of CNT emitters. In contrast to the indirect method, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a common technique for growing nanotubes directly on the substrate with the assistance of metallic catalysts. With the CVD method, CNTs can be grown at desired locations with a specified direction. However,most synthesis technologies such as conventional thermal CVD or plasma enhanced CVD are performed at temperatures over 500 C, which may restrict the application of CNTs on plastic substrates. Therefore, lowering the growth temperature for CNTs is one of the important directions for facilitating CNT applications.Posted: Sep 1st, 2006
Recent developments in DNA-based nanotechnology have shown the suitability of this novel assembly method for constructing useful nanostructures. DNA molecules can serve as precisely controllable and programmable scaffolds for organizing functional nanomaterials in the design, fabrication, and characterization of nanometer scale electronic devices and sensors. DNA-templated metallic nanowires are such an example and over the past few years DNA scaffolds have been metallized with silver, gold, palladium, platinum and copper. DNA-based fabrication methods could ultimately lead to naturally bio-compatible nanodevices.Posted: Aug 31st, 2006

Sheriff Logan Brewer was just a deputy when Rory Matson was abducted and left for dead on Reaper's Point. Before they could say goodbye, she'd run off and hadn't looked back--until the mystery surrounding her father's death brought her home. And reawakened a madman out to finish what he'd started.
Pushing aside the guilt he still harbored for not saving Rory once before, Logan had to capture this elusive killer if he was to lay old demons to rest. After all, the beauty may have survived, but her body and spirit were permanently scarred. This time, he'd right past wrongs and protect her at all costs.
Failure was not an option.
