Sinclair Community College is committed in its mission to the idea of cultural diversity to increase opportunity and enlarge the learning environment for students, faculty, and staff as well as the entire community. Over the last few years numerous initiatives have been undertaken to accomplish this objective. A testament to this institutional commitment is firmly rooted in Sinclair's vision for diversity.
Sinclair strives to create an open, supportive and responsive environment in which differences are valued, encouraged, and celebrated. The goal of all learning opportunities within this environment is to prepare people to live, learn, and work in a pluralistic world.
The purpose of this report is to provide a sense of what the College has achieved in the area of diversity. From this document, the future focus and direction can be determined to best meet the needs of the College. Hence, establishment and implementation of the Diversity Task Force. The next steps to be accomplished are:
- First, wider distribution of this document to the campus community to ensure that it is inclusive.
- Second, recommendations will be developed consistent with the Diversity Task Force.
- Third, a benchmarking strategy will be designed that provides for measurement and continuous improvement.
These strategies will ensure congruence between the College mission and related College initiatives.
- Minority Student Demographics
Numerous recruitment and retention strategies were developed over the last five years to address the needs of minority students at the College. These initiatives are outlined in Section II of this report.Most importantly, there is an Admissions Officer for Cultural Diversity in the Office of Admissions providing leadership to this program.
The results of these efforts are reflected in the enrollment data.
1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 African-American Enrollment 3183 3171 3168 3437 3657 Percent of Total College Enrollment 15.9% 16.0% 16.4% 17.3% 17.7% Total Minority Student Enrollment 3904 3853 3857 4125 4504 Percent of Total College Enrollment 19.4% 19.4% 19.9% 20.8% 21.8% - Faculty Demographics
Prior to 1991, Sinclair Community College had maintained a level of 11-12 percent African-American faculty over a five-year period. This figure was well above the national average for colleges, but unacceptable for Sinclair. Various initiatives were put in place, but the results were always in the 11-12 percent range. New recruitment strategies and a "Grow Our Own" program were adopted in 1990-91.
The results of these strategies are reflected below:
1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 African-American Faculty 41 38 39 40 37 Percent of Total College Faculty 13.6% 12.6% 13.0% 13.1% 12.5% Total Minority College Faculty 55 52 53 56 52 Percent of Total College Faculty 18.3% 17.2% 17.7% 18.3% 17.8% - Support Staff/Administrators/Professionals Demographics
1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 African-American Support Staff 41 39 37 34 45 Percent of Total Support Staff 18.89% 21.20% 16.74% 15.67% 16.5% Total Minority Support Staff 43 42 39 36 48 Percent of Total Support Staff 19.82% 22.83% 17.65% 16.59% 17.6% African-American Faculty 41 38 39 40 37 Percent of Total College Faculty 13.6% 12.6% 13.0% 13.1% 12.5% Total Minority College Faculty 55 52 53 56 52 Percent of Total College Faculty 18.3% 17.2% 17.7% 18.3% 17.8%

The Exterior
A fresh coat of paint and a new chimney lend this house real country appeal.
Paint and trim: Randy gave the home's clapboard exterior a much-needed update by painting it a deep charcoal, Benjamin Moore's Templeton Gray. Crisp white trim makes the color pop and draws attention to the main entry.
Front porch: Originally, the porch had wrought-iron railings that looked "dark and unimpressive," says Randy, who replaced them with wood posts he found at a lumber yard, then painted. He bought the door for $20 at a garage sale.
Landscaping: To save money and time, the landscaping was kept the same. The bushes around the house were trimmed to let more light in through the front windows. The result is simple and rustic, like the house itself.
Chimney addition: At a cost of $5,000 to $6,000, this was one of the pricier changes, but it also adds the most to the property's worth. Built-in log storage at the chimney's base is a practical and attractive foil to its boxy shape.

One house in the Adirondacks may not look like much from the outside, but inside, it will bring you to a whole different world. It's a silohome with a Cold War missile base control center attached. Our Cara Thomas says after years of work and about $1.5 million, two cousins have made the silohome livable again.
SARANAC, N.Y. -- It was the middle of the cold war and the possibility of a nuclear attack brought fear to all in the United States. Missile bases were built all over the country, usually far from civilization, making the Adirondacks the perfect location. In 1958, one missile base was created in the town of Saranac and is still there today. Bruce Francisco, co-owner and builder, said, "My cousin said to me, 'Hey, we can buy these missile bases' and I had no idea what he was talking about. A missile base? What's a missile base?" It was a government hideout. A place underground that went 185 feet deep, with multiple 2,000 pound blast doors and could protect a crew from a nuclear attack or earthquake. The base also held a missile, which if instructed, was meant to be directed toward Russia. "The skyscraper that's in place has these four 60 foot long shock systems, so ideally, if a bomb hit, the missile would just ride on the shocks and wouldn't be destroyed, same thing with the launch control center," said Francisco. But the missile base was decommissioned only a few years after it was built and spent 30 years underwater, until Bruce Francisco and his cousin bought, drained and fixed up the property. Francisco built a small home on top to conceal the entrance and renovated what used to be the crew's living quarters into a living area and two luxury master bedrooms. But that's not all. All seven floors of the control center are still completely intact, including the spiral staircase and elevator shaft, which is rare. Francisco said, "A lot of them were imploded into themselves, filled, are still filled with water, or they, all the steel was mined out of them." He says what's unique about this silo home is the hundred or so acres surrounding it, which he says makes it a developer's dream. "So my goal is to sell it out right or bring in an investor to buy my partner out and venture with me to bring it to the higher purpose," said Francisco. He says there are many possibilities for the silohome, one being an Adirondack luxury resort. For more information about the silo home, visit www.silohome.com.

It's more Doctor Who than Marvel.
Here we are.
We have our home, our summer cottage and now we have our little cabin tucked away in the snowy mountains. We are so rich with money, our property is just everywhere. So god...yes we're doing this? I am hungry, turns out my dad took the pizza I wanted even though he said he didn't need it for lunch the next day. What a liar. Anyway I do have a shit ton of Nine/Rose plots and we need to make something mega epic for Coulson who can't deny his secret double life any longer and asks Maria to come with him before Fury loses his mind again. (Fury is an alien)
To make this as less-crack themed as possible...we need to think.
Obviously we'll need two dimensions for this, Nine/Rose and Coulson/Maria/Everything and then crossing over would be easy down the line.
...let's hope my lack of food and your lack of sleep aren't screwing us over but when has that ever not led to something awesome?
- - - - -
& & &Boo. I love Barrowman but...I've just heard so many mixed things about Torchwood.
Okay an general post by post idea of what we may do, subject to change:
Nine & Rose:
- Night time, they just encountered three angry Slitheen, Rose killed one. One fled and the other chased them around the school.
- The next day, Rose confronts the Doctor about last night, his response will depend on if you want him to outright spill or not
- That night Rose follows the Doctor to the TARDIS and may or may not gain entry, she shows him around the school and talks about the aliens
- The next night, they confront the Slitheens who are a large population of the school's staff and students.
Coulson & Maria:
This may help...
- Night time, Maria just got thrown into the TARDIS to see the Ood.
- They now blend in and get with the tour to look around the place.
- They then distance themselves and find the Ood are going insane, thus prompting the whole planet to break out in chaos
- They then end up defending the Ood and wondering who or what is behind this epidemic.
- They then find the Ood brain and shut it down? (River is watching and trying to contain her fangirl screams)
I'm leaving out basic explanations, meet/greets as I figure they'll depend on pacing and choices. And of course we may need one or two posts for some momentary fluff cuteness. What do you think? I tried to be general about it because I know it's not set in stone.
Nine & Rose:
- Slitheen
- End of the World
- Father's Day
- The Unquiet Dead
- The Empty Child
- The Doctor Dances = finale finishes
I'd say we don't need the finale to be a build up if we can't find something to tie "everything" or "most" together from the mini-episodes. I think we could push Father's Day in and then end with TEC/TDD and maybe just integrate maybe a call from Jack Harkness (S.O.S into space) in the Unquiet Dead or mention it in EotW (as Boe?). And then they'd meet Jack (who doesn't tag along with them as I see him as someone who comes and goes) and save the day? These are some srs episodes for poor Rose...
Coulson & Maria:
- Planet of the Ood w/ River
- Van Gogh w/ River
- Beast Below w/ River
- The Impossible Planet
- Satan's Pit
- Daleks Take Manhattan with River revealing herself?
Does that work for you?
Updated from least to most recent:
Headcanon: In the third grade, Maria wasn't going to get any Valentines in school so Coulson went back in time and gave her a ton to make her fell special cause he didn't want to see her cry and make her give up on love, even if they were from a secret admirer.
Headcanon within that headcanon: He dropped back to see her going to the dance with some dorky kid because she thought he had sent her the nice letters. Coulson was a little jealous but ended up making sure she had a fun night and that the dorky kid didn't do anything rude or stupid, as kids do.
Headcanon: (canon verse) Meeting Rose in the shop wasn't the first time he had met her, even before New Years Eve, he had gone back in time after they had fought after Father's Day. So in order to ensure that she somehow didn't end up never meeting him, he went further back in time and made sure she was hired to work in the shops so that one day, they would meet and he could save her. determined to protect her always.
Headcanon for C&C: (our verse) Coulson had debated telling Maria sooner but something always came up, be it a call from the TARDIS or from work and he chalked it up to the universe telling him that it wasn't meant to be, which really saddened him because he thought she'd make a great companion for his real life's adventures.
Headcanon: Whenever she thinks the Doctor isn't looking, she tries to do some reading up on Science and Junk because she's determined to make herself a better companion for him. She wants to know a little about what he rambles on about. One day she tries to surprise him with a comment about quantum physics and it turns out it was outdated information in the year 4029 which embarrasses Rose and she swats his arm for not taking her seriously and he apologizes because he finds her too cute and he tells her she shouldn't need to waste time reading when he could just read it to her before bed. They develop a new tradition where he reads her boring things and she falls asleep in his arms. Her plan was a total success.
Headcanon within your above headcanon: Coulson started the rumors himself because he knew he was a stud but wanted Maria to think that maybe someone else thought he was, thus giving her subliminal messages about him and her and how great they would be together. It hurts when she tries to correct the aliens when they travel but when she gives up, he feels like he's gotten a personal victory and he ends up taking Maria out to dinner...just cause. He puts the reservation under Mr and Mrs. Hotpants McStudmuffin and they laugh so hard, they can't enter the restaurant.
Headcanon within your headcanon: Rose was always really annoyed at the Doctor. It seemed whenever her birthday neared, he would swing over to some planet and they'd land themselves in trouble again. All she wanted was a normal birthday but she knew the Doctor wasn't normal. He gave her odd things from odd planets, sometimes saying her present was at the bottom of some volcano. She is tempted to push him in but is more happy to be running with him, than stuck at some lame party back home.
Headcanon: Coulson doesn't like Maria calling him Coulson when they're in the TARDIS because it's not who he is. But after some contemplation, he realizes he doesn't know who he is anymore and for the longest time he would sit around brooding. He would then realize that he was both the Doctor and Coulson because both parts of him got to spend time with an amazing woman and he didn't care what she called him, just as long as she did.
Headcanon: When she fell into Jack's arms, her heart fluttered a little. It wasn't the same though. Not like when she was with the Doctor. But there she was, in his arm, having a drink and dancin' a little and she didn't feel a thing, just a need to find her grumpy Doctor with the big ears. When she saw him again, she wanted to hug him but refrained because they had mattered to attend to. Rose was glad to be alone with the Doctor again, determined to pull him away from that wall so she could have him all to herself. But then he got distracted and she got a little upset. It wasn't until they got close and started to dance, that words and actions became meaningless as they just had each other where they belonged.
Headcanon: Coulson loves his shades, they make him look cool. Or so he says. Many have tried to prank him or steal them as a joke but they always on him at all times. He loves them. He wouldn't lend them to someone if they were forced to stare in the sunlight. Nope. They're his. He even had a name for them but he wouldn't tell anyone that. Once day when he see Maria crying at the office about some bad breakup, he decides to lend her his sunglasses so no one can see she was crying. He never got them back until a month later. They were set on his desk, polished and cleaned with a simple 'thank you' note attached. He had felt so naked without them for so long and never knew why she held onto them for an entire month.
Headcanon (our RP): From the moment she walked into class the day they got a new sub, her world had shifted somehow. She could feel something was just...different. She caught one look at the snazzy teacher and found herself even more perplexed. She took her seat and listened to ever dull word, her mind somehow wandered to her flyin' off, his voice like a lullaby. When class ended and people talked about the cute new teacher, something inside of her stirred and she knew she had to get to the bottom of this sensation, this new desire.
Headcanon: He's lived almost 1000 years yet he doesn't feel old. He may look old in human years but he doesn't feel old. He tells himself he's not. He knows when he does get past the 1000 mark, he will be very old and very tired. He considered checking in on his old companions but couldn't bring himself to make them suffer a dull 1000 birthday. He figure he'll stop by Maria's and see what she's up to, hoping that his timing will be slightly better than the last time he dropped in on her unexpectedly.
Headcanon: He once told her about regeneration and she didn't think much of it because he said it didn't happen a lot. But the more they spent time together and bonded over chips and tea, she began to worry that he could regenerate from the slightest of things. So she ended up becoming overbearing and it bothered him. They ended up fighting about who was looking after who and she stormed off. He ran after her and said that even if he did change, his heart wouldn't. She looked at him, then smacked him for being a totally cheesy idiot and they laughed it off.
Headcanon within a headcanon: He really hated hates. Some of his past rengerations like them, but why, he'd never know. Coulson did his best to avoid them when he walked around New York City. He liked dogs, they were man's best friend. When he once saw the cat people who serves as nurses, he couldn't help but cry out a little and run back to the TARDIS. He had no idea why he hated cats but he did. He didn't enjoy Maria's at all and tried to get her come over his place whenever they wanted to be alone. Of course she wouldn't budge so he had to endure a lot of crap from a fatass cat if he wanted to have some nice alone with with Maria. Sometimes he just wished he went home and took a shower, his suits were never the same.
Headcanon: After the event where the Dalek almost killed her, and him, she started to have nightmares. She would toss and turn and finally give up on getting any sleep. On the third night of no sleep she finally decided to find the Doctor's room. It took her the whole night in which she ended up getting even more scared and wound up crying in a hallway. The Doctor found her and went with her back to her room and sat with her while she slept in his arms. He stroked her hair and told her fairytales from distant planets until she fell into a deep sleep.
Headcanon: He once tried to tell Maria about who he really was. He did it over coffee when they were outside near Central Park. The two of them were joking around, talking about time travel and what ifs. He said he could travel through time AND space to which she laughed. His grin faltered slightly and he dropped the topic, not too keen on mentioning it again as it seemed just to be a source of hilarity to her, rather than wonder. Coulson never knew that she was actually interested but she laughed at something behind them.
Headcanon: Her mother died. Her mother died while she was away with the Doctor doing some crazy thing, this or that. Her mother died and she never got to say goodbye. She had asked too but the Doctor said she couldn't go back into the timeline. Rose stepped in front of her mother's grave and gave her own late goodbye and the Doctor came up behind her and reached for her hand. She folded her arms and simply headed off to the pub where she knew Mickey would be waiting with a pint.
Headcanon: Maria's bad habits were likely to get her killed one day, hell, so was his. The two had stepped out of the TARDIS and made their way into a cold planet, void of any life energy. They walked around for what felt like hours. As Coulson was scanning the area, that's when the ground opened up and swallowed them whole. They fought and fought but knew the end was coming. They said their goodbye and in his final bout of strength, he handed her the sonic screwdriver and yelled for her to push it. It sent her right back to the TARDIS, while he was swallowed whole.
Headcanon: It was hard to think when they were always running and running. It was even more hard to remember the Doctor prided himself on well, being a doctor. So after a bit of a nasty tumble during while on the planet Cheem, the Doctor scooped up his companion and brought her back to the infirmary of the TARDIS and patched up her banged up knee. Rose was a bit caught off guard by his tenderness as he was doting on her like an overprotective father. She thought it was cute though and it took three days before she managed to wave him away, insisting she was fine again.
Headcanon: They spent hours looking for the sunglasses, they checked all the planets they had just visited. But they were nowhere to be found! This sent Coulson into a spiral of manic depression which just amused Maria to no end. At one point they didn't travel at all and just stayed on Earth doing work. While the Doctor refused to fly without his favorite accessory, Maria decided to fly the TARDIS herself and find the damn things, she ended up getting stuck on the Moon and it was the first time she got Coulson to laugh ever since he misplaced his shades. He found them a week later in the refrigerator of the TARDIS. How did they even get there?
Headcanon: Maria and Rose grew up in the same apartment complex together, Maria taking Rose under her wing as an older sister figure may do. Rose always wanted siblings but her mother was against anymore mouths to feed. When Maria suddenly vanished one day, Rose grew worried, not knowing a man in a blue blox had carried her off into space. A few weeks passed and another blue box came down and invited Rose to come along. Both friends ended up getting whisked away by two different Doctors. They reunited when they were both taken hostage by the annoying Daleks. Needless to say, they had a lot more to gossip about.
Headcanon: Coulson could always get his favorite cup of coffee on a far away planet but sometimes he couldn't get to it because he had meeting so instead his second favorite would have to do. Maria made a pot of coffee every morning and everyone loved it so he always parked his TARDIS just on time to make it to when she was done making it for the other agents. He'd pour himself some and would hope to someday show her his favorite place, light years away. It wasn't until she leaned in and said she put a little exta love in his cup, that hers became his favorite of all.
Headcanon: The Doctor stumbled upon a large bang in the kitchen area of the TARDIS. He rushed to find Rose covered in half baked cake, flour and frosting. She said she tried to make him a cake for saving her from the stupid Cybermen again. They spent an hour cleaning up the mess all while Rose felt like an idiot. After she showed, she found the Doctor in her room, holding out a cup of tea for the poor girl. He brought up the fiasco a few times after that and Rose was determined to make a successful cake someday.

Yes that's right, Sig of the Week is back but with a few tweaks, due to the fact that the economy is broken, a loaf of bread costs a fiver and we all work 3 jobs and send our children to work in cotton mills up North its obvious that there isn't quite the time on everyone's hands to get something, (anything) done and dusted in under a week so now its... *drum roll please* SIG OF THE MONTH!!!
Basically this will be the main thread for discussion and news, the 1st of each month (or there about) will see the opening of a new thread for that months entries/competition - the comp will end on the 25th and these entries will then be voted upon and winner chosen which will be announced on the last day of the month.
Said winner will receive a banner/thinegy-ma-bob (to be decided)which they can place under there own sig as a boast of sorts.
Competition will then restart within a whole new thread on the first of the next month and so on and so on and so on....
So.... due to Lithium (this board) annoyingly I can't stick a poll in a thread, so instead there will be 3 separate threads!
Thread 1 = this thread
Thread 2 = The particular months comp/theme/your entries etc.
Thread 3 = a thread in which I repost your entries, each entry has one post, you place your vote by using your kudos.
Does that all make sense?
The rules for submission are as follows:
1: Sig should be no larger than 500 x 200, but it may be smaller.
2: The sig must be of your creation. Please do not enter someone else's work.
3: Sig should contain a username, not necessarily yours, and some mention of the PlayStation Forums/PlayStation.
4: Two submissions per person per month max although only 1 is needed to participate.
5: Sig must be within the specified theme if there is one. If there is no theme then feel free to be imaginative.
6: Do NOT submit entries in to THIS thread, all entries must go in that months submission thread - link will be posted in this thread.
Submissions will be accepted up until 25th, then there will be 4 to 6 days of voting. You can vote for yourself too!
Any questions just ask... though you may never ever receive an answer which is in anyway serious or helpful.
PS - You do not need mad Photoshop skills to enter, anyone who submits something made in MS Paint will probably get my kudos
PPS - All links etc to the other threads and any other info will be posted in this thread, do not be surprised to see them bumped/quoted if they fall back among the pages as conversation grows the page count
PPPS - All winning entries will be listed/posted below all this text for ever and ever with the honour they deserve!
I really do hope that all makes sense

What Craft and Fine Artists Do
Craft and fine artists use a variety of materials and techniques to create art for sale and exhibition. Craft artists create handmade objects, such as pottery, glassware, textiles, or other objects that are designed to be functional. Fine artists, including painters, sculptors, and illustrators, create original works of art for their aesthetic value, rather than a functional one.
Work Environment
Most craft and fine artists are self-employed. Part-time and variable work schedules are common for artists. Many also hold another job in addition to their work as an artist.
How to Become a Craft or Fine Artist
Formal education is rarely required for craft and fine artists. However, many artists take classes or earn a bachelor's or master's degree in fine arts, which can improve their skills and job prospects.
The median hourly wage of craft and fine artists was $20.90 in May 2010.
Job Outlook
Employment of craft and fine artists is projected to grow by 5 percent from 2010 to 2020, slower than the average for all occupations. Employment growth of artists depends, in large part, on the overall state of the economy, because purchases of art are usually optional. Craft and fine artists may find it difficult to make a living solely by selling their artwork.

Fraud case has security lessonResident's sentencing looms; commission offers tips on investment efforts.It took about five years for Iowa resident Kris Magnani to see criminal charges filed against the Hutchinson man who swindled more than $18,000 from him in a phony computer investment scheme.
Now, Magnani is looking forward to March 22 - the day 56-year-old Billy E. Compton Jr. will stand before a Reno County judge and be sentenced for securities fraud. Magnani and his wife, Denise, traveled to Hutchinson from Des Moines, Iowa, on Jan. 31 to see Compton plead guilty to the crime. And Magnani plans to return March 22 for Compton's sentencing, which is the only time Magnani gets to speak in court about how the crime affected his life. But after years of pursuing Compton in civil court, and finally, in criminal court, Magnani acknowledges - attorneys do, too - that there are still many obstacles ahead before he can get his money back. "I haven't given up, and I'm not going to go away," Magnani said after watching a jail jumpsuit-clad Compton plead guilty. To finally see Compton answering in court for his crime is "a moral victory, if anything," Magnani said. *** Magnani knew Compton for about 11 years before Compton approached him in August 2007 about investing in computer equipment. Compton told Magnani he would buy and resell laptops, and split the profits with him. Over the next three months, Magnani sent checks to Compton in Hutchinson, totaling $18,407. But Magnani never saw any money from the deal, and Compton eventually stopped communicating with Magnani after receiving the checks. Magnani said he reported the theft to law enforcement in Hutchinson and where he lived in Iowa. He said he even contacted the Kansas Attorney General's Office. "I tried to go through the police to get them to do something, but they wouldn't," he said. "They said it was a bad business deal." Authorities advised it was a civil fraud matter, Magnani said. With assistance from Hutchinson attorney Stan Juhnke, Magnani won an uncontested civil lawsuit against Compton in November 2008 that awarded him $36,971 for the return of his original investment plus the amount promised to be his share of the deal. But getting restitution has been a scavenger hunt for Magnani, who has used online searches to try to learn where Compton obtained employment so his wages could be garnished. In June 2010, one of Magnani's online searches turned up a Hutchinson News article reporting that Compton pleaded guilty to 20 criminal counts for stealing thousands of dollars from his employer, IdeaTek Systems Inc. in Buhler. According to Magnani, another story in The News in July 2010 detailing his civil case against Compton was read by a Kansas Securities Commission employee, who suggested he file a complaint with the commission. Magnani did, and in August 2012, the commission filed five counts of securities fraud and five counts of theft against Compton. In pleading guilty last month to a single count of securities fraud, Compton admitted he used Magnani's money to pay a jewelry debt, and the remaining money "was not used for the purposes claimed," said Nathan Soendker, a securities commission attorney. Compton admitted the crime to the commission in 2010, according to Soendker. He now faces nearly three years in prison for the crime. *** Magnani knows it could take years before Compton pays him back, if he ever does. He's worried Compton will file for bankruptcy again, like he attempted to in the past year, and any civil judgment or restitution order won't be considered a priority claim - such as money owed to the government or for child support. "It would not be a priority claim, but you can object on the basis of fraud," Juhnke said. "You would have to go back and fight it in bankruptcy court with a lawyer." Juhnke did not think the criminal conviction would ensure Magnani would get his money back any more than the civil judgment. He also said attempts must be made to garnish Compton's wages, or the civil judgment will eventually expire - something that's been a source of frustration for Magnani. "Why should I have to do Internet searches and find out where's he's working?" Magnani said, referring to attempts to garnish Compton's wages. "He was working a year before I found him, and he had never paid. "He had no intention of giving me any money." Though frustrated, Magnani says he won't give up. He got some satisfaction that Compton was finally getting his day in court. "That's good to see, but when it comes down to it, he promised to repay me the money," Magnani said. "I'll dog him till his grave." Jeff Kruske, general counsel for the Kansas Securities Commission, said the advice he has for people thinking about making an investment - whether with a professional or with someone they know - is to do their homework on the person they're doing business with. "The biggest suggestion we have for consumers is to use our office as a resource before you invest your money," he said "Contact us and check to see if the person you want to do business with is registered with us. "If they're providing investment advice or selling securities, they have to be registered. (Consumers) can contact us, and we'll walk you through the process." The Kansas Securities Commission investigates any and all complaints, he said. The commission has seen people swindled by strangers in deals "too good to be true," while others have been taken advantage of by people they know through community activities, even church, "so they're not thinking of doing their own research on that individual," Kruske said. *** Protect your investment Go to the Kansas Securities Commission website at http://www.ksc.ks.gov/ to learn more about best practices for investing, how to do research on the person you're investing with, and details on the Kansas Securities Act and Kansas Securities Regulations. The Kansas Securities Commission corporate finance team also is available for consultation by calling (785) 296-3307. Contact the Kansas Securities Commission if you think you have grounds for a complaint, and you can also get a copy of the complaint form on the commission's website. blog comments powered by Disqus Inappropriate comments include those which: are libelous or defamatory are obscene, pornographic or sexually explicit; substituting characters for letters is not acceptable degrade others on basis of race, gender, class, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability or other classification are predatory, hateful or intended to attack, intimidate or harass writers or other commenters. contain advertising or solicitation misrepresent your identity or affiliation Also: Please don't hijack comment threads to controversial topics; keep comments relevant to the topic.

I am trying to focus light from a flashing light lamp (a bulb and then covered by a glass of 7.5 x 7cm), throught two lens (Fresnel Lens 310 x 310mm, Thickness: 2mm, Focal length: 220mm) into a optical fiber cable which is around 0.8cm in diameter. I tried to use a piece of white paper to focus the image, however, my teacher said that the focal point might have more intense light. But focal point is not somewhere i can see. Is his theory right about focal point have more intense light than the image point? and i wonder if i could use more convex lens to focus the spot of light into a smaller diameter? Thanks a lot guys! If i didn't explain clearly please ask. I have been looking for answer online for ages!
Ok, first of all, if you are dealing with fiber optics things are little bit more difficult than just shine with bulb on fiber frontface. Talking about standard single mode telecommunication fiber, core diameter (e.g. this part of fiber, where is the light guided) is around 9 micrometers. If you have multimode, core will be like 50 micrometers, so this is the diameter you need to have in focus. Structure of single multimode fiber optical cable is concentric like this: core (50 um) - cladding (250um) - primary protection (1 mm) - secondary protection (rest of diameter). If you have fiber with larger diameter of core and cladding, it is not called "fiber" but "light guide", used for example in endoscopy. Because fibers are guiding light due to total internal reflection effect, crucial characteristic is numerical aperture of fiber (NA), which defines the broadness of acceptance "cone" where you can achieve total internal reflection. Obviously, to confine maximum light into fiber you need to match the cone of focusing element with acceptance cone of the fiber. Common approach is to use microscope objective with similar NA as fiber and micrometric mount to launch the light. If you need to confine broad spectra, you can use GRIN objective with abberation compensation, but ussually you need just to pick objective for the strongest wavelength and you are fine. | |||
When you try to focus light into a fiber, you have to match the fiber mode to the spatial mode of the light beam for best coupling. For example, with a microscope objective lens, a single mode fiber and a good TEM00 (Gaussian mode) laser, you can expect a maximum coupling efficiency of about 60% if you are tuning with a 3-stage X-Y-Z translation micrometer stage. It can be very very very painful to do (speaking from experience). With multi-mode fibers, things get a bit easier and you can achieve higher coupling efficiency. I have not worked with incoherent light, but I'd imagine that the efficiency cannot be higher that with coherent light. Can you give us a few more details about your experimental arrangement? Pictures would help quite a bit. A useful read. Also check this wiki-article that talks about NA and acceptance angle. | |||
"focal point", "image point" - careful with the terms. All you need to worry about is where the light is focused in the smallest space. Yes, that should be pretty bright. Yes, you could use a business card to detect it - just figure out where the image is smallest. Now, how to capture more light. Look at this image: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/71/Lens3.svg As the object moves further away from the lens and to the left, the image also moves to the left, closer to the lens. When S1 = infinity, then S2 = f, and that's the closest the image will get to the lens, and the image is smallest at that point. However, because the source is so far away, the image may be small, but it's pretty faint. So yes, the answer is: use a more convergent lens (a stronger lens) because then the source could be closer to it. Also, a bigger lens might help. There's a trade-off how far to place the source; if it's too close, you capture a lot of light, but the image is large; if it's too far, the image is small, but you don't capture much light. At S1 = 2f, the image is about the same size as the source. It might help to enclose the source in some sort of box, the inside should be either bright white (good), or reflective (better), or reflective with a shape that focuses light back into the source (best). The size of the lens becomes somewhat less important in this setup. This is a hard problem, don't be surprised if there are no clearly defined answers to it. Unless the source is equal to or smaller than the fiber entrance, then it's somewhat easier - put a reflective sphere around the source, poke a hole, put a ball lens on the hole and couple the sphere with the entrance of the fiber. http://www.edmundoptics.com/technical-support/optics/understanding-ball-lenses/ A tiny LED chip is easy to couple with a fiber aperture. A large fuzzy lamp is much harder. | |||||||||||||||||||||
I don't know what's wrong with using a white card to find the focus. The focus is where you see the image of the lamp filament. You cannot focus the filament to a smaller image size than the actual filament itself without running up against the laws of thermodynamics. EDIT: OK, this answer is really wrong (see comments below). Leaving it up because I don't believe in covering my tracks. EDIT 2: I'm going to try this one more time. What is probably true is that no system of lenses is going to cram more light into the fibre than you would get just by butting up the end of the fibre directly against the lamp. Any takers? EDIT 3: Second answer also wrong. Let's try this: Express the capture area of the lens as a fraction of the total emission angle of the source. That is the same fraction which gives you the minimum (optimum) image size as compared to the size of the source. (Also, re-reading the original question, I think I now understand the point about image point versus focal point: the focal point is what you get with parallel rays, i.e. a source at infinity. If the source is close, so you don't have parallel rays, the focus moves correspondingly. The focus is literally where you see the image on a white paper, and the calculated focal length of 220 mm is irrelevant.) EDIT 4: My third edit assumes that your source and target are in fixed locations, and you have an infinite number of lenses with different focal lengths to play with. I will now, finally I hope, try to address the actual optimization of the system which you actually have: the big Fresnel lens with the 220-mm focal length. First let's imagine the "symmetric" case, where the source and the target are 880 mm apart, and the lens is right in the middle. When you put your white piece of paper at the target location, you should see an image size exactly the size of the actual filament. You can see this should be so because of the symmetry of the ray tracing patterns. Let us examine what happens if you try longer or shorter combinations. First imagine what happens if you put your eyeball directly at the image point and look at the lens. (Imagine your eyeball to be the size of a geometric point.) If your eyeball is placed within the actual filament image, then when you look at the lens you will see the entire surace illumainated with the fiery color of a hot filament; if your eyeball moves outside the image zone, you see merely ambient light, or darkness as it may be. Now let us move our target backwards, away from the lens. Which way do we have to move the lens to adjust the image to be on target? Answer: if we move the lens in the opposite direction, towards the target, we will find a new focus. It is easy to see this because if we move our target all the way back to infinity, the lens must be 220-mm away from the source. (Remember we said we were starting at optimum conditions with the lens 440-mm from the source.) If we put our eyeball exactly right on target, we still see the lens filled with that fiery color; but we are so far away that the lens looks very small, and therefore the total amount of light it delivers is small. The image is actually quite large, but very faint. But wait: if instead of moving the lens towards the source, if we had instead followed the target, we would also find a solution at infinity where the lens is 220 mm from the image point and the light bulb is at infinity! If we put our eyeball right at the image point, we once again see the bright fiery color of the hot filament; but this time, it does not fill the whole size of the lens, which is close to us and looks quite large. The image is now quite bright, (like when you focus sunlight) but it is absolutely tiny, so if we move our eyeball off target in the slightest, we see merely ambient light, or darkness. Again, the total amount of light collected is small. To summarize: the closest proximity of target to source at which the lens focuses an image is 4x the focal length; at this position, the image size is the same as the actual size of the source. There are no closer solutions. For every longer case of source-to-target distance, there are two solutions for lens position; in one case, the image is larger and fainter, and in the other case, the image is smaller and brighter. Where is your maximum light collection? As you bring the lens closer to the source, you are intercepting a bigger solid angle, so you are collecting more light; but the image size at the focus is also getting bigger (and fainter), so eventually your are not able to concentrate all the availble light into your target. I'm guessing the maximum light collection occurs when your image size is the same diameter as your optical fiber, because that's the closest lens-to-source proximity and hence the largest solid-angle interception without "spillage" at the point of collection. | |||||||||||||||||||||

I was just thinking about this today. So much stuff to go off
I was just thinking about this today. So much stuff to go off
because lm also created the most influential philosophical apparatus of the 20th century
i dont know anything about freudian psychology. where should i start.
well freud's psychology depends on the existence of the bourgeois nuclear family and suppose that the genitalia is concealed and something unknown. for example, children in new guinea wander around with no clothes on so things like penis envy can't possibly apply. however, a lot of it has never been disproven and it remains a pretty cool discourse, although totally irrelevant to modern psychology. but modern psychology can't explain the plot of hamlet, and until then we'll have to listen to freud!!!
read "fetishism" and "the uncanny" by freud and you'll know pretty much enough about freud, although freud is actually a really complex thinker and his writing towards the end of his life becomes massively different and his style of formulating arguments becomes completely different. i think he has an essay towards the end of his life and he says "imagine, even though I know it's not really true, that the city is a body".
- one of the first pokemon you catch is called 'weedle'. it looks like a shrivelled up penis which is slowly gaining identity as a recognisable, emotional sexual organ.
- ash is an adolescent who battles external projections of interiorised conflicts about manhood using inferior notions of manhood. if you think about it, most of the pokemon that ash acquires are frail and feminine. i seem to remember his charizard is unmanly. yet he has to use them to fight very extreme notions of masculinity (such as machoke?)
- ash has an absent father, and thus his 'pokemon' represent possible father figures.
- 'pokemon' are 'pocket monsters'. they are intentionally protected by being kept close to the possessor's sexual organs.
Most of Frued's theories are no longer held to be correct in modern psychology so doing an analysis based on it seems rather... pointless? Freud was pretty damn important yeah as far as history goes.
And Hamlet is a much more interesting story without using the Oedipus Complex as an analytical lens. A lot of Freud's theories aren't based on any scientific basis whatsoever. The Oedipus Complex was pretty much: "Hey, I wanted to fuck my mum. I think everyone else does too!"
Penis envy also has no scientific evidence. Freud was very confused by women and thought they were morally inferior and just generally a waste of time.
But hey, if you want to go through Pokemon and listing every time something resembles a penis or vagina, by all means.
that's not what a freudian analysis would consist of
or at least that would be the most simplistic and negligent freudian analysis possible.
Freud's theories aren't supposed to have any scientific basis. Often he uses pseudoscientific language to make himself seem more legitimate with the precise knowledge that it is infact pseudoscientific
I know this is about Pokemon, but can we all seriously stop taking Freudian analyses seriously? They lead to bullshit like this.

Crohn's disease causes chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, most commonly, the small intestine (ileitis). Periodic flare-ups lead to bouts of stomach (abdominal) pain, severe diarrhea, weight loss and low energy. There is no cure, but treatment can reduce inflammation and ease your symptoms, sometimes for long periods of remission. Crohn's disease is one type of inflammatory bowel disease.

Entries for the Tag:Private Jet Vacation
Travelling with Kids?
With February school vacation and spring break rapidly approaching, now is the time to start thinking about the family vacation. As you and your adult companions enjoy cruising to your destination without the hassles of the commercial airports, take time to remember what it was like to travel as a child. Hours of limited personal space with little to do conspire to turn even the most well behaved child into a whining, discontent, fidgeter.
[caption id="attachment_162" align="aligncenter" width="206" caption="Some Travel Essentials"][/caption]
So for this travel season be sure to think of the little ones. Most private aircraft are now equipped with lavish entertainment systems ranging from private in-seat monitors found aboard light jets such as the Beechjet 400 or Hawker 400XP to massive flat panel displays on the larger jets such as the Gulfstream 400/500 and Global Express. Many aircraft even allow you to connect your child's own gaming system to the on-board monitors.
Additionally, while you may enjoy a nice grilled Parmesan Encrusted Portobello Mushroom with White Truffle Oil, the kids will most likely just want some PB&J. Fresh baked cookies and some sandwiches will do wonders to keep the blood-sugar up and the tempers down.
[caption id="attachment_170" align="aligncenter" width="131" caption="Emergency Tantrum Control"][/caption]
But, whether jetting off to Spring Training in Florida or winging your way to the ski slopes of Colorado be sure to give the kids headphones so you can enjoy a blissful beginning and end to your vacation.

Eden Express"Most diseases can be separated from one�s self ... schizophrenia is something we are." So begins Mark Vonnegut�s depiction of his descent into, and eventual emergence from, mental illness. As a recent college graduate, self-avowed hippie, and son of a counterculture hero, Vonnegut begins to experience increasingly delusional thinking, suicidal thoughts, and physical incapacity. In February 1971 he is committed to a psychiatric hospital. The Eden Express, an ALA Notable Book first published over 25 years ago, is his honest, thoughtful, and moving account of the illness of schizophrenia. |

User Review - Jenean Gilmer - GoodreadsGot a little bogged down in the middle with all the rants, but a worthy read. Entertaining and intelligent, but above all, honest - refreshingly so, free of the self-importance that so often accompanies memoirs.

My new book, REAL HOPE, came out last week. It is my fifth, and consists of twenty-five meditations on Romans 8. I gave the substance of the messages to Amelia Plantation Chapel in 2009. My prayer is that it will minister to many of the hope that is in Christ. One person asked me why I spent time on writing books for publication – surely I had more important things to do? I replied that since I am called to communicate the Gospel I try to do it in many different forms: preaching, teaching, blogging, writing articles and books. The role of the pastor-teacher is to teach the Word of God and apply it to the present generation. I see books as a means of extending the ministry of the Chapel. They are portable and can be given as gifts to friends and neighbors. You can reach more people through the printed word than you can through the spoken word.
St. Paul wrote: "When I preach the Gospel I cannot boast, for I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me." (1 Cor.9:16,17) The Message paraphrases it this way: "Still, I want it made clear that I've never gotten anything out of this for myself, and that I'm not writing now to get something. I'd rather die than give anyone ammunition to discredit me or to impugn my motives. If I proclaim the Message, it's not to get something out of it for myself. I'm compelled to do it, and doomed if I don't!"
The New Testament is with us because some people took the time to write it out for posterity. In every generation there is the need for Christian writers to speak to the needs of their contemporaries. Every generation needs new writers to speak to them. I have been the beneficiary of Christian writers who spoke to my condition and the challenges of my day. My mentor, John Stott, reached so many more people through his writing than he ever could through his speaking and preaching. The pulpit is not the only way to communicate the Gospel. When I graduated from college I taught high school for a while before going to seminary. I also wrote the editorials for the local daily newspaper. I would come home from teaching and have to sit down and write something of interest to the people of my home town. Imagine that pressure! Yet it helped me to express myself and learn to communicate at the level of my contemporaries. I still have those editorials. Since they were printed they can still be accessed. Perhaps my small offerings about the grandest and most sublime subject of all – Jesus Christ and his Gospel – will also last and prove to have some benefit if God so allows.
I like the way St. Luke explains the reason why he is writing his Gospel: "Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught." (Luke 1:3,4)
May this also be so for you, my dear reader.

Schwarzenegger, Arnold
The latest news on Schwarzenegger, Arnold
