La Salle College (LSC; Chinese: 喇沙書院, Cantonese jyutping: laa3 sa1 syu1 jyun2) is a highly selective boys' secondary school in Hong Kong. It was established by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, a Roman Catholic religious teaching order founded by St. John Baptist de La Salle.
The school curriculum uses English as the medium of instruction in all subjects with the exception of Chinese-related subjects and French. La Salle College has always been revered as one of the best schools in Hong Kong.

In 1917 the Brothers of the Christian Schools,[5] who had founded St. Joseph's College in 1875, opened a junior school on Chatham Road near the Rosary Church.[6] At this time Kowloon was expanding rapidly. The demand for schools was rising and Brother Aimar Sauron, the Director of St. Joseph's, realized that a new school building was necessary. He acquired a large plot near Prince Edward Road as a site for the new La Salle College in 1928. The site was immediately north of the city boundary, and thus was technically in New Kowloon. That section of Boundary Street was not yet a formal road when the school site was bought, and was only gazetted in 1929.
On 5 November 1930, Sir William Peel, the Governor of Hong Kong, laid the foundation stone of the new building. By 3 December 1931, the work on the building and the playgrounds was sufficiently advanced to allow the opening of eight classes for 303 pupils, under the management of five brothers from St. Joseph's College and four assistant masters from the Chatham Road School.[7]
The formal inauguration took place on 6 January 1932. Seven brothers, headed by Reverend Brother Aimar as Director, took over. A few days later 40 boarders occupied the quarters to the west of the building. There were then 540 students in 14 classes. About one-third of the students had a European (mostly Portuguese) connection.
World War II[edit]
La Salle College School Song
Verse I:
- Boys of courage, boys of daring,
- Full of manliness and will;
- Spirit nought for danger caring,
- Hearts to conquer every ill.
- We are sons of La Salle everyone,
- And no matter where we go,
- High aloft her flag we will hold,
- And strive that her fame may grow.
Verse II:
- There are famous schools in plenty,
- With their heroes by the score,
- And they flourish high and mighty,
- But La Salle is something more.
- (chorus)
Verse III:
- From her lofty station pointing,
- To the sky's majestic dome,
- She would have us ever minding,
- That above is our true home.
- (chorus)
Verse IV:
- Come whatever kind of weather.
- Come the stormy days along,
- When the Old Boys get together,
- They will always sing this song.
- (chorus)
Brother Aimar was the principal of the school for its first seven years. The students were offered matriculation examinations, the laboratories were constructed, four tennis courts and a full-sized football pitch were built, and the statue of St. John Baptist de La Salle that now stands in front of the College was erected. The number of students increased to 805 in 1935 and 1,060 in 1939.
In 1939, La Salle College was affected when World War II commenced in Europe. On 3 September 1939, Britain declared war on Germany, and the British War Department in Hong Kong designated the campus as an internment camp for German nationals arrested in Hong Kong that same day. Those interned included the German engineer Gerhard Neumann. The camp was run for approximately eight months, during which time the brothers organised classes in morning and afternoon sessions in the College Annex across the road (the building which was to become La Salle Primary School in 1957).
On 8 December 1941, the Japanese attacked Hong Kong, and the school building was again taken over by the British Military, this time as a relief hospital. After the surrender of Hong Kong on Christmas Day 1941, the Japanese took over the building. In February 1942, the brothers were expelled from the college and the school's operations was terminated until the September 1946. During the Japanese occupation, the college was believed to have been used as a military hospital until August 1945.
After the war[edit]
School recommenced in September 1946. By the end of 1949, the Chinese Civil War was coming to an end. Most of China was controlled by the Communist government of Mao Zedong and the People's Liberation Army was rapidly advancing southwards towards the Hong Kong border. Owing to that threat, the British Army reinforced their garrisons in Hong Kong. In need of a hospital, the British Army expropriated the use of the college grounds, originally for 12 to 18 months. Meanwhile, the Hong Kong government erected wood hutments on a plot at Perth Street, Ho Man Tin. The temporary occupation dragged on for some 10 years, taking the concerted efforts of the local government, the British Parliament, and the Vatican to finally dislodge the Army in August 1959.
A new beginning[edit]
Post-war development[edit]
Brother Felix was appointed director of the school in 1956 and re-acquired the college buildings from the military authorities on 1 August 1959. Student numbers grew steadily and this led to a separation of primary and secondary divisions. La Salle Primary School was founded in 1957 and Brother Henry Pang was appointed headmaster.[8]
In 1964 the La Salle College Evening School was commenced within the main campus building; in 1969 the Evening School was separated and became the Chan Sui Ki (La Salle) College in Ho Man Tin. The decision was taken in the mid-1970s to undertake the replacement of the ageing building. While classes were continuing, a portion of the school grounds were used to erect a new superstructure with modern facilities. The project was funded via the sale of part of the school grounds to Cheung Kong Holdings, owned by Li Ka Shing. The Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Murray MacLehose, officially opened the new school on 19 February 1982, in its Golden Jubilee year.
The current college building stands seven floors high from the "field level" (five floors above are ground level, two floors are below ground level, and the track and field are at the bottom). It has an enrolment of almost 1,800 students. Its four blocks surround two quadrangles, the lower dotted with benches and greenery and the upper containing a basketball court. The blocks are named the North, East, South and West Wings after their position on the two quadrangles. There is an extensive range of facilities for academic use and for extracurricular activities, including sporting facilities. The campus incorporates a standard-size football field with artificial turf, a 400 metres (1,300 ft) all-weather track with six lanes, a 50 metres (160 ft) outdoor swimming pool with electronic timing, and an air-conditioned gymnasium encompassing 6 badminton courts and a basketball court. There are two outdoor basketball courts, a tennis court, a volleyball court, and a squash court.[9]
Recent years[edit]
A Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) was established in January 1995. In September 1996, the track and field were in urgent need of resurfacing. The La Salle Foundation, with the help of the PTA, raised over five million Hong Kong dollars and the Hong Kong Jockey Club contributed the same amount. The project was completed in October 1998 and the facilities were renamed the La Salle College-Jockey Club Track and Field.
In December 1998 La Salle College hosted the third gathering of the Asia-Pacific Lasallian Educators' Congress; about 130 delegates from the Asia-Pacific region took part. As a direct result, the Hong Kong Lasallian Family Office was established in April 1999, with Brother Thomas Lavin as coordinator. This office aims to draw together the various members of the Lasallian family in Hong Kong.
In December 2004 more than 150 brothers and young Lasallians joined together in Hong Kong for the seventh Asia-Pacific Lasallian Youth Congress, chaired by Brother Thomas Lavin, under the theme "Together in Faith-Full Service".
During the summer of 2005 construction work of the School Improvement Program (SIP) ended with the completion of two new wings, the Aimar Wing and the Cassian Wing, named after the first two principals of the school. The SIP provides an additional 32 rooms, with new facilities such as computer rooms and a multi-media learning centre.[10]
In 2009 the refurbishment of the track and field was completed at a cost of $8 million. Fourth-generation turf was laid as the surface of the football pitch. There is a new discus throwing circle and safety cage and a javelin practice area. The tennis court was also resurfaced.
75% of La Salle College's total Form 1 intake is from its feeder school, La Salle Primary School, with 25% from other primary schools. Applicants attend interviews in English, which are conducted by the supervisor and the principal. Other criteria include applicants' performance in extracurricular activities, awards and certificates, and academic excellence. La Salle College applicants may apply for French[11] as an alternative to Chinese.
School associations[edit]
The Old Boys' Association (LSCOBA) is an organisation that intends to unify old boys around the world, as well as contributing to the college by sponsoring scholarships, organising career talks, and supporting other events. Its membership as of 7 June 2006 reached 5,367.
The Student Association (LSCSA)[12] represents current students. Its executive committee is chosen through democratic elections open to students of Form 2 and higher every year. It consists of six boards - the Secretariat (SEC), the Clubs Coordinating Board (CCB), the Discipline Board (DB), the Class Representatives' Board (CRB) and the Publications Board (PB) - in addition to the financial committee.
The Catholic Society is an organisation that promotes the Catholic Faith in La Salle College. Every month they organise a mass in the school hall.The Catholic Society also facilitate events like the "Founders Week" and the "Caritas Bazaar'.
Other student-based associations include the La Salle College Campus TV (LSCCTV), which helps producing broadcasts, and the Editorial Board which produces the year-book "The Lasallite".
Since the majority of the school buildings are above their standards, the Government is not responsible for the school's maintenance. Replacements of plant and machinery as well as the upkeeping of existing facilities require substantial sums of money. The Brothers, Principal Brother Francis, and some old boys initiated the idea of a foundation whose sole aim was to provide sufficient funds to do this. In early 1992, the La Salle Foundation[13] was established with Michael Sze as the first chairman.
Layman principals[edit]
As Hong Kong education law requires school principals to retire at 60 years of age, Brother Thomas Lavin relinquished the position in 2004, and flew to Bethlehem for ministerial works in 2005. Dr. Paul Lau (劉煒堅) then became the first secular principal of La Salle College. Lau had completed his primary and secondary education at La Salle Primary School and La Salle College.
Lau resigned in 2006 with effect from 31 August 2006, citing personal reasons, and was succeeded by Wong Yen-Kit (王仁傑) as acting principal. Shortly after, Brother Thomas Lavin, the school supervisor, announced that Wong Yen-Kit would take up the position of principal.[14]
Wong Yen-Kit retired as principal on 31 August 2010. He was succeeded by brother Steve Hogan, a former principal of De La Salle College, New Zealand. Brother Steve would end his duty of principal on 31 August 2016.[15]
As required by Hong Kong law, schools must have two examinations every year: mid-year and final examination. In between the two examinations, students are provided feedback on their performance through continuous assessment,[16] which accounts for 20% of the total subject mark.
The school consistently produces scholars who excel in public examinations. In 1993, the school produced the first student achieving ten distinctions in Arts subjects in the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE). In 2001, four students from the school attained the top score of 10 A's, a feat repeated in 2008. The class of 2003 scored a total of 501 A's, the most distinctions a single school had ever achieved in a single sitting in the history of the HKCEE.
LSC counts five winners of the Hong Kong Outstanding Students Awards,[17] ranking 16th (tied with Wah Yan College, Hong Kong, Madam Lau Kam Lung Secondary School of MFBM, and Queen Elizabeth School) among all secondary schools in Hong Kong.
La Salle College has over 50 clubs and societies. Clubs are divided into academic, cultural, sports, interest and service. Joining clubs is mandatory.[18]
The College's students are active in academic, cultural, and sports competitions. They have a champion record of the Joint School Chinese Debating Competition and the Hong Kong Mathematics Olympiad, and a School Grand Prize Winner record of the Hong Kong Olympiad in Informatics.
In sports, La Salle College has won badminton championships in all grades in 1993–1994, 2003–2004, and 2004–2005 in the Kowloon area. La Salle has won championships in archery, athletics, badminton, basketball, cross country, fencing (Grand slam in 2010–2011), football, hockey, softball, squash (18 consecutive years,1994–2012), swimming, table tennis, tennis, tenpin bowling and volleyball. The table tennis team was named the overall champions 7 years in a row, from 2000 to 2007.
The Omega Rose Bowl, and its successor the Bauhinia Bowl,[19] is awarded to the secondary school with the best all-round sporting performance in the Hong Kong Island and Kowloon region. La Salle College has been the Boys School Champions 26 times, by far the most-awarded secondary school in the Boys' Schools section. La Salle College holds the record of receiving the Rose Bowl, predecessor of the Bauhinia Bowl, for the longest period—17 years—between 1974 and 1991.
Every year, during the Interschool Athletics Meet, Form 1 students and members of the Student Assosiation will be excused from lessons and will be allowed to cheer for their Atheletes for the whole day. Students of other Forms are also dismissed early to be allowed to go and cheer. Th activities are both voluntearybut almost all students will participate. Many Old Boys will also participate. La Salle College is always considered as the one of the most united schools in Hong Kong.
La Salle College has achieved tremendous results in terms of music as well. In the Hong Kong Youth Music Interflows, organized by the Music Office, the Wind Orchestra achieved four gold prizes (2010, 2012, 2013, 2014) in the "Symphonic Band Contest - Secondary School Senior Class", and were awarded Overall Champion for all four of the Winner's Finals. The Chinese Orchestra achieved a tremendous eight consecutive gold prizes (2008-2015) in the "Chinese Orchestra Contest - Secondary School Class C (46-90 members)". The String Orchestra has won four gold prizes (2010, 2013, 2014, 2015). The Symphony Orchestra has won five gold prizes (2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015) in "Secondary School - Class A or B" as well. Moreover, La Salle College has thrice achieved "grand slam" achievement (Symphony Orchestra, Chinese Orchestra, Wind Orchestra, String Orchestra won the gold prizes + Wind Orchestra awarded winner in the Symphonic Band Winner's Finals) in the Hong Kong Youth Music Interflows (2010, 2013, 2014).
In the Hong Kong Schools Music Festival, La Salle College has one of the strongest music teams in Hong Kong. The Wind Orchestra was awarded champion in the "Concert Band - Secondary School - Senior Class" on four occasions (2010, 2012, 2013, 2014). The Chinese Orchestra was awarded champion in the "Chinese Orchestra - Secondary School - Senior Class" four times as well (2009, 2013, 2015, 2016). The Symphony Orchestra achieved 2nd runners-up in 2011 and 2015, and a 1st runner-up in 2014 in the "Symphony Orchestra - Secondary School - Senior Class". The choirs of the school, the Treble Choir and the Senior choir had achieved excellent results these years. The Treble Choir had captured the first place in the competition group 'Secondary School Choir - Foreign Language - Boys - First Division - Junior Age 14 or under, treble voice only' in 2013 and 2016. The String Orchestra achieved 2nd place and Champion in 67th Music Festival and 68th Music Festival respectively in 'String Orchestra-Intermediate' category.

Classes maintain the tradition of praying after the assembly. The prayers are usually led by students on duty, Catholic boys, or sometimes the teacher, and commonly include a Hail Mary, Glory Be to the Father or The Lord's Prayer, and the prayer is closed with the unique Lasallian lines: "St. John Baptist de La Salle – pray for us; live Jesus in our hearts – forever".

Enedina Arellano Felix: Meet Mexico's First Female Drug Lord (Hot)
Mexico's Proceso magazine is calling Enedina Arellano Felix the world's first female drug lord today, based on information from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.
While we're not buying that lofty title -- "Cocaine Cowboys" star Griselda Blanco was the godmother of blow's glory days, even if her gang wasn't called a "cartel" back then -- we'll concede that Arellano Felix may be the first Mexicana drug lord, which is obviously no small feat, given the country's state of bloody, cartel-controlled chaos.
Also, she's way hotter.
Arellano Felix worked behind the scenes as the Tijuana Cartel's money manager until last weekend, when her brother, Benjamin Arellano Felix, was extradited to the U.S. (Congrats, DEA!) Now, because all her brothers are either serving prison sentences or hiding out, Enedina is believed to have taken the throne, according to Prensa Latina.

TicketsMon., Aug. 15, 7:05pm
Proceso describes the new darling of drug trafficking as discrete, stern and firm in her decisions, having schooled her brothers in the business side of the trade for at least the last decade.
Enedina reportedly combined a Guadalajara education with inherited street smarts to keep what is now one of the world's most powerful cartels from going bankrupt back in 2000, after a series of raids.
In other words: She's a freaking badass. Even if she's now responsible for hundreds of deaths and costly U.S. counter-operations, we can't help but admire the woman for her she-cajones.
The DEA thought, with Benjamin behind bars in San Diego, the worst was over:
"Using violence, intimidation, kidnapping and murder, the Arellano Felix Organization, also known as the Tijuana Cartel, has been one of the world's most brutal drug trafficking networks," said DEA Administrator Leonhart. "The extradition of Benjamin Arellano-Felix is one of many great victories against this criminal enterprise, which has seen five of the seven Arellano-Felix brothers either arrested or killed. Together with our Mexican partners, we will continue sustained attacks on cartels that threaten our way of life."
But, Proceso reports, the crimes continue, and Enedina -- code name "La Jefa", "La Madrina" or "La Narcomami" -- is the No. 1 suspect. (Though in the past, her son Fernando Sanchez Arellano, or "El Ingeniero," has also been eyed as the cartel's top dog.)

How does the Database work?
It uses computers.
How accurate is the Database?
Massively accurate! Information is constantly updated by our Web spiders, corporate spies, and secret automated computer infiltration techniques.
Why isn't the information on an experience the same every time I read its page?
Because it changes whenever the Database system detects new facts. Any time an official Disney site adjusts its description, a guest tweets about a wait time, or some random person edits Wikipedia, the Database incorporates that data into its dynamically generated attraction report. Even these FAQs are rewritten automatically!
How does the Automated Schedule Planner figure out exactly, precisely when I should visit an attraction?
With computers.
Why isn't there anything about Disney's California Adventure?
Because it's the Massive Disneyland Attraction Database.
What should I do if I discover a mistake?
That's the beauty of it -- you won't! This is the most accurate, up-to-date Disneyland Database in existence. If for some reason you would still like to write (to send us kudos, for example), you can use the DisneyLies.com feedback form.
Why does the picture for an attraction seem to be messed up?
We have had a couple of problems with the image portion of the server. These will be fixed eventually.
How many visitors does this site get?
Plenty! For example, yesterday the Database was visited by precisely 912,477,760 unique individuals. Of today's 376,068, you are #16,827.
Can I claim my lamp?
Most likely.
Is this whole thing a joke?
No. Well -- maybe.

Cat's Claw, Uncaria tomentosa, is an herb that grows in the rain forests of the Peruvian Amazon where it has been used for centuries by the Native Peruvians. Recent research has discovered that its inner bark contains unique active, alkaloid constituents that help support the body's immune system. Now used worldwide as a nutritional supplement, cat's claw is obtained without needless destruction of the plant, thereby protecting the delicate Amazon ecosystem.

Minimizing the maximum travel time in a combined model of facility location and network design
This paper presents a combined Facility Location/Network Design Problem which simultaneously considers the location of facilities and the design of its underlying network so as to minimize the maximum customer-facility travel time. The model generalizes the classical p-center problem and has various applications in regional planning, distribution, telecommunications, emergency systems, and other areas. Two mixed integer programming formulations are presented and compared. Several valid inequalities are derived for the most promising of these formulations to strengthen its LP relaxation bound and to reduce the enumeration tree. Numerical results of a series of computational experiments for instances with up to 100 nodes and 500 candidate links are reported.

The United States' financial system is broken for all but a few at the top -- that much is plain. But given the complexity and size of Big Finance, it's hard to pin down why.

Speakout is Truthout's treasure chest for bloggy, quirky, personally reflective, or especially activism-focused pieces. Speakout articles represent the perspectives of their authors, and not those of Truthout.
Climate change and world peace will each be highlighted on Sunday September 21, the International Day of Peace. In our nuclear-armed, temperature-rising, resource-depleting world these issues are intricately related and represent the greatest threats to our planet. It is not coincidence that they be highlighted together. We must make the connection between peace on the planet and peace with the environment. Sunday's Peoples Climate March will empower citizens the world over to demonstrate the will of the people and demand action as global leaders convene in New York on Tuesday for the U.N. Climate Summit.
As our planet warms, causing severe droughts and weather conditions that in turn cause crop losses at home and around the world, conflict ensues as competition for finite resources develops. Entire populations, huge cities, and countries are at risk with rising sea levels. Climate change is a catalyst for conflict. This is occurring the world over where two-thirds of global populations live on less than two dollars a day.
"Borderline sweatshop conditions." That's how a group of Chipotle Mexican Grill employees, including several managers, described their working conditions before walking off the job last week at a Penn State restaurant location, causing it to close for several hours. The story, and images of the note the employees posted on the door explaining why "[a]lmost the entire management and crew...resigned," has since gone viral. Good. When I heard about the walkout, I could relate: I also worked at Chipotle, and my working conditions were equally dreadful. People should know.
Between 2012 and 2013, I worked at a Chipotle restaurant in Torrance, CA. I had hoped to be hired as a cashier, but there was only one person fast enough to work the register during the busy lunch shift, so the position was not to be mine. This speed - what Chipotle calls "throughput" - is well-known: show up at lunchtime, and even in a line snaking all the way to the door, you'll be out, burrito in hand, in just a few minutes. But the demand to work fast puts enormous pressure on workers, creating the kinds of conditions that can compel someone to walk out on the job.
Are you scared? How will we pay for that? This is the context that was missing from the discussion of a bill from Utah Senator Orin Hatch which would encourage state and local governments to replace traditional defined benefit pension plans with cash balance type plans tied to an annuity which would be run by the insurance industry.
The piece told readers:
"For local governments and states, the unfunded liabilities are huge, ranging anywhere from $1.4 trillion to more than $4 trillion, depending on the assumptions plugged in by actuaries."
While President Reagan's report on education in America is famous for the words "a rising tide of mediocrity," the lesser-known words from A Nation at Risk were those describing the solution to America's education woes - to create a "Learning Society."
Unfortunately, Reagan did not speak in public about a "Learning Society" - a concept that has now been redefined by a variety of organizations further muddying our political "education reform" waters.
A few months ago, not many Americans, in fact Europeans as well, knew that a Yazidi sect in fact existed in northwest Iraq. Even in the Middle East itself, the Yazidis and their way of life have been an enigma, shrouded by mystery and mostly grasped through stereotypes and fictitious evidence. Yet in no time, the fate of the Yazidis became a rally cry for another US-led Iraq military campaign.
It was not a surprise that the small Iraqi minority found itself a target for fanatical Islamic State (IS) militants, who had reportedly carried out unspeakable crimes against Yazidis, driving them to Dohuk, Irbil and other northern Iraqi regions. According to UN and other groups, 40,000 Yazidi had been stranded on Mount Sinjar, awaiting imminent "genocide" if the US and other powers didn't take action to save them.
Washington, DC - The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) released a major proposal for curbing corporate tax avoidance. The OECD recommends international cooperation to prevent large corporations from avoiding taxes in the countries where they do business. The OECD plan comes amidst increased calls to crack down on corporate tax avoidance.
"I am very encouraged by the OECD's strong stance," said Eric LeCompte, Executive Director of the anti-poverty organization Jubilee USA, which advocates corporations paying their taxes in developing economies. "Developing countries are losing more money to corporate tax avoidance than they are receiving in official aid. For every 10 dollars developing countries receive in aid, 100 dollars is flowing out due to tax avoidance and illicit flows."
Washington Post on Public Pensions: People Should Refuse to Pay for Their Washington Post Ads
The Washington Post thinks its fantastic that Rhode Island broke its contract with its workers. It applauded State Treasurer and now Democratic gubernatorial nominee Gina Raimondo for not only cutting pension benefits for new hires and younger workers, but also:
"suspending annual cost-of-living increases for retirees and shifting workers to a hybrid system combining traditional pensions with 401(k)-style accounts."
In the lead-up to the historic Climate March in NYC on September 22nd,, some activists have expressed doubt regarding the efficacy of mass demonstrations, and some have criticized the march as a toothless gesture, perhaps even a co-optation of a more militant environmentalism.
But history proves otherwise. There hasn't been a movement in the history of the US that has succeeded without putting massive numbers in the streets.
After a string of what the Secretary of the Air Force called "systemic" violations of nuclear weapons procedures, the service has moved to address what one internal email called "rot" in the nuclear missile corps.
Air Force higher-ups plan to fix problems involving low morale, poor discipline, alcohol and drug use, security lapses, leadership failures and widespread cheating, by offering bonus pay (like Navy nuclear war teams get), a "nuclear service" medal and additional modernization of the Minuteman III missiles. The Air Force maintains 450 Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), which are spread across North Dakota, Montana and parts of Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska. They are kept on "alert" status, ready to launch on a moment's notice, by the crews suspected of the wrongdoing.
"The educational foundations of our society are presently being eroded by a rising tide of mediocrity that threatens our very future as a Nation and a people." - Like or loathe them, those words from A Nation at Risk live on in education reform infamy.
30 years later, many in this nation are demanding we do exactly what President Reagan's education commission offered; we just don't know it.

Experimental determination of the Boltzmann constant: An undergraduate laboratory exercise for molecular physics or physical chemistry80(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4764490View Description Hide Description
This article describes an undergraduate laboratory exercise that uses optical spectroscopy to determine the magnitude and the uncertainty of the Boltzmann constant kb . The more accurate approach uses photoacoustic spectroscopy to measure the Doppler-broadened line profile of individual spectral lines of N2O to extract kb . Measurements and estimates of the uncertainties in the quantities needed to calculate kb from the line profiles are then used to estimate the uncertainty in kb . This experiment is unusual in that it uses advanced laser-based spectroscopy techniques to emphasize standard practices of uncertaintyanalysis. The core instrumentation is modular and relatively affordable; it requires a tunable single-mode laser, photoreceiver, optical cell, and vacuum pump. If this instrumentation is not available, an alternate approach can be performed which uses the intensity of each rotational transition of an infrared band to measure kb . Although there is more uncertainty using the alternate approach, low concentrations of CO2, DCl, or N2O give reasonable results for the magnitude of kb . Student assessment results indicate retention and mastery of the concept of combined measurement uncertainty.
Modeling a falling slinky80(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4750489View Description Hide Description
A slinky is an example of a tension spring: in an unstretched state a slinky is collapsed, with turns touching, and a finite tension is required to separate the turns from this state. If a slinky is suspended from its top and stretched under gravity and then released, the bottom of the slinky does not begin to fall until the top section of the slinky, which collapses turn by turn from the top, collides with the bottom. The total collapse time (typically for real slinkies) corresponds to the time required for a wave front to propagate down the slinky to communicate the release of the top end. We present a modification to an existing model for a falling tension spring [Calkin, Am. J. Phys. 61, 261–264 (1993)] and apply it to data from filmed drops of two real slinkies. The modification of the model is the inclusion of a finite time for collapse of the turns of the slinky behind the collapse front propagating down the slinky during the fall. The new finite-collapse time model achieves a good qualitative fit to the observed positions of the top of the real slinkies during the measured drops. The spring constant k for each slinky is taken to be a free parameter in the model. The best-fit model values for k for each slinky are approximately consistent with values obtained from measured periods of oscillation of the slinkies.
Ways to resolve Selleri's paradox80(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4755950View Description Hide Description
Selleri's paradox, based on an analysis of rotating frames, appears to show that the speed of light in an inertial system is not normally isotropic. This in turn seems at odds with the second postulate of special relativity requiring a universal light speed in inertial systems. First, it is demonstrated how to circumvent Selleri's argument using Einstein synchronization in rotating frames. Then the nature of Selleri's result is exposed: it simply corresponds to the adoption of a synchronization procedure different from Einstein's. In this scheme, anisotropicone-wayspeeds of light by no means contradict special relativity.
Klein's theorem and the proof of E0 = mc 280(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4748812View Description Hide Description
Despite repeated attempts, Einstein failed to give us a general and rigorous proof of his relation. A completely general proof emerged in 1918 from a theorem on the four-vector character of energy-momentum of extended systems by the mathematician Felix Klein, but this proof is not well known, rarely seen in textbooks, and sometimes misunderstood. A simple version of this proof is presented here, with discussion of the crucial role of the energy-momentum tensor.
Five ways of deriving the equation of motion for rolling bodies80(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4750051View Description Hide Description
The equation of motion for rolling bodies can be derived in several different ways. This paper shows that the equation of motion can be derived in five and only five ways without needing to know the normal and frictional forces acting at the point of contact. After enumerating these five ways, we examine two illustrative examples: an asymmetric disk rolling on a cylinder and a symmetric ball rolling on a turntable. We also discuss the educational benefits of including this topic when teaching mechanics.
A unique pure mechanical system revealing dipole repulsion80(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4756036View Description Hide Description
We study multiple elastic collisions of a block and a ball against a rigid wall in one dimension. The complete trajectory of the block is solved as an analytic function of time. Near the turning point of the block the force carried by the ball is proportional to , where x is the distance between the wall and the block, in the limit that the block is sufficiently heavier than the ball. This is a unique pure mechanical system that reveals dipole-like repulsion.
Confined modes in two-dimensional tubes80(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4751875View Description Hide Description
We survey various numerical methods for finding solutions of quantum confined states. We especially consider states in two-dimensional (2D) tubes, or 2D surfaces that are confined in the transverse direction but are unconfined in the longitudinal direction. We first review existence proofs for bound states in long 2-D tubes. We then review various methods for finding such states and we discuss the significance of these eigenstates.
Engaging the community through an undergraduate biomedical physics course80(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4753933View Description Hide Description
We report on the development of an undergraduate biomedical physics course at Portland State University, motivated by both student interest and the desire of the university's Physics Department to provide an interdisciplinary intermediate-level physics course. The course was developed through the community engagement of physicians, clinical researchers, and basic science researchers. Class meetings were a combination of regular and guest lectures, hands-on exercises, web-based activities, class discussions, and a student poster information session for patrons at a local science museum. The course inspired students to engage in research projects in biomedical physics that enhance their understanding of science and education as well as benefit the learning of future students. Furthermore, this course offers an opportunity for traditionally underrepresented groups in physics courses, such as women, to gain additional exposure to physics.

Beyond the Van Der Waals loop: What can be learned from simulating Lennard-Jones fluids inside the region of phase coexistence80(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4754020View Description Hide Description
As a rule, mean-fieldtheories applied to a fluid that can undergo a transition from saturated vapor at density to a liquid at density yield a van der Waals loop. For example, isotherms of the chemical potential as a function of the density at a fixed temperature T less than the critical temperature exhibit a maximum and a minimum. Metastable and unstable parts of the van der Waals loop can be eliminated by the Maxwell construction. Van der Waals loops and the corresponding double minimum potentials are mean-field artifacts. Simulations at fixed for yield a loop, but for sufficiently large systems this loop does not resemble the van der Waals loop and reflects interfacial effects on phase coexistence due to finite size effects. In contrast to the van der Waals loop, all parts of the loop found in simulations are thermodynamically stable. The successive umbrella sampling algorithm is described as a convenient tool for seeing these effects. It is shown that the maximum of the loop is not the stability limit of a metastable vapor but signifies the droplet evaporation-condensation transition. The descending part of the loop contains information on Tolman-like corrections to the surface tension, rather than describing unstable states.

New Ph.D. candidate looking for room mates, Fall 2013 (self.OregonStateUniv)
submitted 3 years ago by mtgfish
I just graduated from Syracuse University, and will be attending Oregon State in the fall to pursue a Ph.D. in pharmacology. I'm from the east coast and don't know anyone from Oregon, but I'd prefer not to live alone. Listing traits is silly to me, so I'll just say I'm a cool guy to get to know. I'm a socialite, and I love to entertain and have people over. If anyone is interested in being a potential room mate don't hesitate to shoot me a PM. Thanks!

My brothers and I own a house with a bus stop adjacent to our side-yard and is only 10 min walk from campus--bus is free for all in corvallis and stops three places on campus. Quiet neighborhood, yard that goes clean around the house and is good for parties. We will be looking for a roommate as we graduate starting Fall 2013.
PM for details. We're hella laid back, kitchen has a bar, and theres a small grill in the back yard.
I am a CS major and researcher in Machine Learning and AI. What do you do?

Privacy Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Opaque products to maintain privacy
- Routeless slats avoid light seepage
- Add a liner for increased opaqueness
- Layer coverings for light versatility
- Good for bed, bath & streetside rooms
Privacy blinds and shades are opaque, or non-transparent, enough to prevent view-through, even when backlit. Perfect for rooms facing the street or a neighbor, privacy shades or routeless blinds are perfect for keeping the inside of your home hidden. Some blind styles, such as woven woods, will require an added privacy liner to provide the extra opacity needed. We also recommend choosing a top down/bottom up lift option or layering your treatments, like a faux wood combined with drapery, to best balance your light control and privacy needs. While these products will block view-through, they will not necessarily block all light like our blackout shades.

Is there anyway to transfer data from MSN 6 to Google Chrome? As far as I can tell, MSN 6 will only save data like favorites as an XML file and Chrome will only import this kind of data as HTML? Any ideas? Thanks
xml can be changed or 'transformed' to html using a 'xslt stylesheet' which is like a small bit of code or a script that reformats the text. i just went through a whole process of trying to figure it out, it is easy if you only need to make formatting differences, but can get pretty complex with altering the output to varying degrees. on mac osx 10.5, i used the program 'XSLTPalette' . maybe post the file, or a piece of it and i will try to help, if i can.

This might sound odd...
I think working in the wp-admin area of my WordPress sites in Firefox activates my computer fan. Sometimes Firefox will seize after I click to upgrade a plugin or after I click on a tab and other admin actions. The spinning browser activity indicator will freeze in motion, the computer starts to sound like a helicopter, and I have to sit (for two minutes typically) until Firefox become unstuck.
My workflow includes opening a couple tabs for different sites I maintain for clients and reviewing latest stats, posts, and comments each morning. I'll click something in one tab then switch to another tab while the previous one is thinking or loading a page. Sometimes I'll have four or five tabs going - each loading different wp-admin areas of different sites.
The performance degradation also happens when viewing just one site as well. After logging out or closing the wp-admin tab for a site the computer fan will become less and less noisy like it's calming down.
Is the wp-admin area a cpu resource hog? Can the slow performance be caused by the amount of Javascript in the wp-admin area?
I've recently upgraded my hosting service to a private server so I have dedicated mysql and cpu resources so that shouldn't be an issue. My internet connection is over high speed Comcast cable and I've had the cable guy come do speed tests to verify my service is okay and the cable wires aren't noisy. I've also installed Google Gears and using Turbo. But my G4 PowerBook still sounds like a helicopter at times when working in wp-admin.
Anyone else have similar experiences?

Communicating Policy Seminars
The Writing Center offers seminars in Communicating Policy exclusively for currently enrolled LBJ School of Public Affairs graduate students. Communicating Policy seminars address different types of public affairs writing, including policy memos, op-eds, and grants.
Spring 2016 Seminar Schedule
The following seminars are subject to change. Keep an eye on the LBJ student listserv for notifications and sign ups.
Learn to Revise Your Own Writing
Friday, January 22 12:15-1:30 pm — SRH 3.314/3.355
The single best tool to improve your writing is intentional revision and, chances are, you're not using it effectively. In this seminar, you'll learn a systematic approach to revision and practice identifying and revising common writing problems. You will leave with a better understanding of your personal writing challenges and the most effective strategies for addressing them.
** You'll need to bring a draft of a written assignment – either a full draft for an upcoming assignment, or one you completed last semester that could have been better.
PRP Template Training
Friday, January 29: 12:15-1:45 pm — SRH 3.314/3.355
If you're currently enrolled in a PRP and plan to publish your report in the LBJ Policy Research Project Series, or simply want to ensure your report has a consistent and professional look throughout, come learn how to access and use the LBJ Word-based PRP template.
Public Speaking for Wonks
Date February 12: 12:15-1:45 pm — SRH 3.314/3.355
Whether giving testimony for your organization or presenting findings at a meeting or conference, you'll likely be called on to speak about complex matters to non-specialist audiences. In this seminar you'll learn best practices for public speaking, including preparation and delivery and you'll practice translating complex ideas into clear talking points.
Writing and Pitching Op-Eds
Friday, February 19: 12:15-1:45 pm — SRH 3.314/3.355
Op-eds can be a vital piece of the policy-making puzzle, garnering public support around complex policy concerns – but translating complicated issues into a style and tone appropriate for popular media outlets can be tricky. Come learn to connect your policy issue to specific public concerns and then convey those connections to a general audience, all in about 750 words. You'll learn about publication venues for your op-eds and how to pitch to local and national media venues.
Special guest: Jenny LaCoste-Caputo, Executive Director of Public Affairs, UT System
Professional Report Basics (for August and December Graduates)
Friday, March 4: 12:15-1:45 pm — SRH 3.314/3.355
If you plan to graduate in summer or fall and are writing a Professional Report, this seminar is required, whether you are registered for PR hours through LBJ or through another department as part of a dual degree. You'll meet other PR writers and learn basic information for successfully completing the project, using the PR template, and meeting required deadlines.
Difficult Communications
