 Sidney Wade Sers Sentencing Press Release
Sers pled guilty in September 2001 to contempt of court, obstruction of justice and money laundering charges related to his illegal transfer of nearly $1million, in violation of 1997 and 1998 court orders issued by U. District Judge Terry Means of Fort Worth.
Ser's guilty plea stemmed from Judge Means' contempt referral to the U.S. Attorney's Office which developed during the course of an enforcement action filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in December 1997.
Sers admitted laundering these proceeds through a number of transactions which involved the transfer of monies to Colombia, where he was hiding.

For instance, the mobility of silver atoms and thus the formation of island films as well as the adhesion of nanoparticles are likely to be different on freshly cleaved fused silica surface and on glass surfaces obtained in glass melt processing.
The capability of SERS to detect minor amounts of substance and the possibility of accumulating them at the surface from low concentration phases make SERS well suited for applications where both properties are needed, such as the detection of gas traces or biochemical analyses.
Another approach to fibre-optic SERS was to place the laser and the measurement fibres near both sides of a semitransparent, rough metal film on a glass slide [14].

Based on current theories and the results of certain landmark experiments, the astounding intensity of SERS spectra is believed to arise from a combination of two mechanisms, which are illustrated in the sequence of Figures 1-3.
Furthermore, it is the nature of SERS to utilize small areas of substrate at any one time, so it should be feasible to build a field instrument capable of simultaneously scanning some number of substrates having different SERS activity with respect to the pertinent ensemble of taggants and background compounds.
Vapor adsorption and detection of PNBT on a SERS substrate was demonstrated by placing a few milligrams of PNBT powder on one end of a glass microscope slide and a SERS substrate on the other end of the slide, and then covering the slide with an inverted beaker.

 SERS Thinking About Working After Retirement?
As a SERS service retiree, you also have the option to enter membership, pay contributions and accumulate service credit in either the Public Employees’ Retirement System or the Teachers’ Retirement System (PERS and TRS) at anytime.
If you retire from active SERS employment or you are eligible for retirement when you separate from service, your accrual date is the first day of the month following termination of employment with your SERS employer.
As a SERS retiree, if you return to work in a TRS-eligible position, PERS-eligible position and, in most cases, a LEOFF-eligible position, (Law Enforcement Officers' and Fire Fighters' Retirement System), the SERS return to work rules apply, not the TRS or LEOFF rules.
