...Capstone Rehearsal Guidelines (Revised 9-27-14) Overview The Capstone Rehearsal is an individual simulation that enables students to compete against computer competitors as a means to sharpen their decision making skills and knowledge of the Capstone simulation. It should be noted that the Rehearsal simulation does not include the optional TQM module that is being used in this course. This is because instructors are not given the option to include TQM functions in the rehearsal simulation. Due to some recent updating of the user interface in the Capstone rehearsal the revised guidelines presented below are being made available. Please note, the way the user screens for the tutorial and rehearsal may appear slightly differently depending on whether you are using the legacy view or the Beta view of Capstone. You should be able to switch from one to the other by clicking a control at the very top of your screen. If you have any questions about switching from legacy to beta view or vice versa, please call Capsim Technical Support directly at 877-477-8787. User Operating Guidelines 1.

...Capstone Most media in today’s society show acts of sexuality that is common and it is expected. Depending on what type of media it is. Some show girls that are flirtatious at a young age and it shows some that may be having sex at a young age as well. A lot of girls in today’s time think that its ok to be that way to try to get older guys attention with the way they dress or how much makeup that they may wear. Media portray some young men that may be pressuring a girl to have sex or it may portray them as sexual predators. The media has also represented gays and lesbians more so than they would years ago. And that is probably because it is accepted more not than it used to be. I think this is a good thing because people who are gay or lesbian don’t have to be ashamed of how they are especially if they are younger. I think some negative effects of the media’s portrayal of sexuality is the message that it’s sending to the younger generation and our future generation. That it’s ok to have sex young, it’s like the media is putting peer pressure on the younger kids along with what they deal with every day in school or at home. It is a greater risk for kids to start having babies early or be at risk of STD’s. They make it seem like sex is everything and being a virgin is like a disease that’s not a good view to have. I can say that the positive side is people meaning gays and lesbian do not have to hide who they are. They may not be accepted everywhere, but they can be comfortable...

...Title Antonio Valentin CJS/210 October 18, 2012 Diane Boleware Capstone Discussion What is your opinion of probation? What should happen with probation programs in the future? Do you think it would be appropriate to increase restrictions imposed on probation? Explain your rationale My opinion of probation is that I feel probation is driven and controlled by politics. I feel probation is given to certain inmates that fall under a category to lessen the burden of overcrowding prisons or when the courts do not have enough evidence so they have to offer something to make it seem they did something for society. I believe probation programs in future should be changed. Probation programs should be only offered to first time offenders and low crime juveniles. If an individual returns to the courts for committing another crime then the right to probation should be revoked and the individual should serve their complete conviction time. This may deter some individuals from turning into a life of crime. I think it is appropriate to increase restrictions imposed on probation. I believe the probation program is abused by inmates and politics. I believe offenders have learned what offences have the possibility of getting probation and that is why they commit the crime because there is no fear of incarceration. I believe politics play a role on probation depending who is running for some sort of political office. For example one runner might want...

...Capstone Checkpoint After doing quite a bit of research I learned that Tallahassee (where I live), we have an art park called Railroad Square Art Park. They host more than “50 studios, galleries, and small shops” (http://railroadsquare.us/). They support many Tallahassee artists as well as small businesses. Most of the month Railroad Square has its own pace and then on the First Friday of every month, puts on an exciting “Gallery Hop”. Railroad Square has 10 acres in downtown Tallahassee, which has been there for about 30 years. Railroad Square continues to bring artists and art-lovers together. I have been unable to find out who supports the Art Park, as well as who contributes. I personally do not contribute to the Art Park seeing as how I was unaware that we even had one. Now that I know I would like to go to the Railroad Square and see the many things that it has to offer. Including the “Gallery Hop “which is supposed to be fun and enjoyable by many different ages as well as cultures. I did however learn that they have some type of Buddhism art styles here and after taking this class am interested in learning more about different kinds of art. Hence the reason that I am intrigued enough to go and visit the Railroad Square Art Park. If it wasn’t for this class I would still think art were just a waste of time and space. Thank you for opening my eyes to the unique forms and artists. you should definitely get up with the art that’s ongoing at Railroad Square. You can...

The company, xyzLiqour.com, was the basis for the network. It is a small organization of 20 users with 4 departments. My portion of the project was the website, Windows domain and user groups, file and folder organization and security. In this paper, I will explain my responsibilities in the project as well as how I configured each task. Figure 1 Figure 1 A user account is an object stored in Active Directory that represents the information that defines a user with access to the network. With this user account a user can access the domain they belong to, or the local computer. All 20 users in the company have a user is and password. In an effort to keep things simple, everyone’s last name was their department. This made it easier for me to keep track of everyone and where they belonged. (See figure 1) There are 4 departments within this company; HR, Tech, Engineering and Sales. Every department has its own folders and sub folders. Creating folders gives each department their own location to store data needed for everyday operations. Attached to every folder are NTFS permissions. NTFS permissions are used to secure resources...

...Creative Image Group Infrastructure Upgrade Information Systems Capstone Dr. Richard Borroughs April 21, 2013 History of Creative Image Group The concept of Creative Image Group began in 1992 while two friends were attending college. One was majoring in business with a focus on marketing and advertising; the other sought a degree in graphic design technology. The graphic designer was learning how to take an art form that was originally done with paper, pens, acetate, tape and glue and apply those same skills using computerized graphics, layers, vectors and pixels. Business work such as accounting, proposals, estimates, invoices and contracts was performed on an IBM compatible machine while all the graphic and design work was performed on a Mac LC II. Internal communications were executed using a 9600 baud modem system. External communications were performed through U.S. mail, telephone calls and a relatively new technology called facsimile transmissions (fax). Primary project output consisted of creating marketing and advertising materials such as logos, corporate branding materials, advertisements and other promotional print driven materials. Like many partnerships, Creative Image owners eventually dissolved the working relationship to pursue other ventures; however the business license was retained for 20 years in order to continue to allow freelance work by the artist. In 2011, the designer re-entered college to support 20 years of freelance...

...CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE INTRODUCTION Rationale of the Study Acquiring information is quasi difficult. Specifically, information that was secluded from general views. To puzzle out this problem, technology becomes an absolute must. In fact it can be used effectively in daily lives. The most essential contribution of technology to society is making the lives of people much easier and helping them achieve more what was previously impossible. The discovery of computers was the great function of modernity to make work easier, faster, and more precise for the humanity. Though technology may differ in various ways, but its uses are likely more advantageous. With technology, people find fast acquisition and availability of information. To have lived in this world for so many years without the use of computers just seem unthinkable or even unbelievable! (Stair and Reynolds, 2007). In today’s generation of rapid development, technology facilitates peoples’ lives and creates more comfort. It has remarkably improved the quality of life. Due to this transitory advancement, youngsters resort on finding information the easiest and most convenient way. It is in this era also that technology has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways. In many societies, technology has helped develop more advanced economies.

Strengths Strengths are the qualities that enable us to accomplish the organization’s mission. These are the basis on which continued success can be made and continued/sustained. Strengths can be either tangible or intangible.

...Introduction A. Social Problem Education plays an important role in the way a particular country progresses. The US has always strived for high education standards; however, recent statistics point out that the country has competitively fallen behind when compared to other developed countries. For this reason, education has played an important role in the US agenda for many years. In January 8th, 2002, the US Congress passed a law called “No Child Left Behind Act” (NCLB), which expanded the role of federal government in education. This law strongly emphasizes the implementation of standardized tests in public schools to measure the progress of students as well as to hold teachers and schools accountable for students’ progress. A social problem that the NCLB is trying to fix is the fact that the quality of education in US’ public schools has decreased during the last years. Alarming statistics have shown that the country’s education system is not as internationally competitive as it used to be. For example, according to a report issued by the Council on Foreign Relations, the United States has slipped ten spots in high school and college graduation rates in the past three decades (CFR). Poor education affects the entire country because of the close relation that progress has with having a skillful workforce. Furthermore, other social problems, such as poverty and crime, are indirectly related to inferior education. An extensive body of research has found that people with...
