Oh sorry, I suppose I wasn't aware that Vegedus, Rival, Ro Wong, Dorian, and Archrival were natives of Spam. My apologies.
I said it was an inside joke that Spam has, not that it was a club for Spam. If it was only for Spam, we'd only have Spammers in the group. If it was only for Spam, this thread wouldn't be global. If it was only for Spam, discussions about it wouldn't take place in nearly every subforum.
Get your head outta your ass.
So you can yell at him about that and how it doesn't matter since the majority of people are from spam since obviously people from spam are going to lead this forum to ruin and destruction, the motherfuckers!
Dorian wrote:
Here's the suggestion to improve things then: Get rid of the Gold club.
That would be an improvement.
It is unnecessary. We have so many active mods now that they should be able to handle the job of improving the forum or whatever.
When did you stop being a mod? I ask because I want you to know just how wrong you are. The Floodgates raised? Sure, easy. No problem. No forum growth, but no problem. Want me to turn them off for a day to see how many bots we ban in the next 24 hours?
If you want input from forumers about how to improve the forum, then perhaps make a thread like this one and leave it stickied where people can just go and suggest things and discuss said changes. Who gives a shit if they're a veteran or if they've been here a week. All that really matters is the quality of their ideas/suggestions.
I don't want people to come into this forum and abuse an "anybody with an idea post here" thread because those threads get overlooked. They have in the past, and the only reason this one isn't is because of decisions I've made to make it hard to avoid. So people who want to do things with the community should be able to have some way to voice concerns that matter to them, having demonstrated being a part of the community, in a place where they won't get bogged down by LOLOLOLOL.
No matter how many times you say 'it's not going to turn into an elitist club' it's always going to look that way to outsiders. What Bob said pretty much hit the nail on the head.
Does it? Let's see.
BobSagat wrote:If your intention was to create a club based around creating a better forum then having a club calling itself the Gold Card club is of course going to reek of elitism. It's a title that immediately elevates yourselves as betters.
In the CURRENT GLOBAL RULES. Veterans are unknowable to newbies but told to be given respect. The only way a Newbie can recognize a Veteran is by post count and join date. Newbies are to be assumed naive about the forums, and might not understand the importance of a Veteran through those concepts. Color of any sort would help reduce the amount of times a moderator would have to come to a thread because a newbie yelled FUCK OFF at a Veteran trying to help. And since we plan on having multiple colors, this issue becomes more complex than simply one grade of elitism. Hence caste system.
The gold color that clashes against the entire aesthetic of the website is part of that problem, it's really no better than just having a neon pink title. It's only purpose is to scream for everyone's attention. And for what purpose exactly do you need such an obnoxious color? To inform everyone that you're part of the exclusive club and everyone else isn't?
jesus christ i just picked that particular gold color at random. Valhallen is scientifically fucking measuring the clash on a redistribution of colors to less obtrusive under SHIFTING FORUM STYLE SHEETS.
and to be able to have veterans solve issues before mods need to is showing off?Moderators have their names colored so that people understand when a post is speaking with authority. Having ordinary forum members given colored names over others serves no purpose other than to show off.
You can still do all you guys intend to do with improving the forums, but having your names colored gold does nothing to serve that purpose.
And I disagree. Back to Dorian.
Dorian wrote:The colored name has no purpose. If you're that interested in helping the forum you should do so without the incentive of having a different colored name.
It's not incentive. It is indicative of that user having done something right, yes, but ultimately, none of this matters, which is why Gold Card people would be held to very strict standards to remain gold, so as to prevent the elitism of which you are so very fucking afraid.
I'm not really seeing the gold forum being used anyway. If changes are coming then shouldn't those people be involved if that's what the whole intent of the gold club is? I don't see much discussion in there about anything in particular. But that's not really a complaint. I'd prefer the mods to be the ones to have the discussions and make the decisions.
The mods do discuss things, but unless you want me to mod MORE people, the majority of which would still be from Spam, we need another way for users to make suggestions in a serious environment, for which the idea of a hidden senate would be ideal.
No matter how many times we tell you this is only a test version of something much more complicated, no matter how many times we explain that the only punitive measure we make in such a system is a stalled advancement by one or more criterion, you all want to shit on it because you don't believe, ultimately, that we're competent enough to handle it. I get it. So jump from the sinking ship, if you feel that this reorganization will ultimately fuck everything up.
Also I vote not to change the forum color scheme. This one is good.
I personally hate it, but because it's important that people are afraid of changes, I've compromised with the idea of giving individual forums their own look and feel via style-sheets, while keeping the main general discussion areas untouched.
And we'll change the fucking gold color that everyone hates that I picked at random.

Industrial bronchitis is swelling (inflammation) of the large airways of the lungs that occurs in some people who work around certain dusts, fumes, smoke, or other substances.
See also: Bronchitis
Occupational bronchitis
Exposure to dusts, fumes, strong acids, and other chemicals in the air causes this type of bronchitis . Smoking may also contribute. Employers are required to have copies of material safety data sheets available in the workplace.
You may be at risk if you are exposed to dusts that contain:
The health care provider will listen to your lungs using a stethoscope. Wheezing sounds or crackles may be heard.
Tests include:
The purpose of treatment is to reduce the irritation.
Getting more air into the workplace or wearing masks to filter out the offending dust particles may help. Some people may need to be taken out of the workplace.
Some cases of industrial bronchitis go away without treatment. Other times, a person may need inhaled anti-inflammatory medications. If you are at risk or have experienced this problem and you smoke, stop smoking.
Helpful measures include:
The outcome may be good as long as you can stop being exposed to the irritant. Chronic disability from industrial bronchitis is rare.
Continued exposure to irritating gases, fumes, or other substances can lead to permanent lung damage.
Call your health care provider if you are regularly exposed to dusts, fumes, strong acids, or other chemicals that can affect the lungs and you develop symptoms of bronchitis.
Control dust in industrial settings by wearing face masks and protective clothing, and treating textiles. Stop smoking if you are at risk.
Get early screening by a doctor if you are exposed to chemicals that can cause this condition.

4 I The College News VOL. XXII, No. 14 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1936 Copyright BRYN MAWR COLLEGE NEWS. 193* PRICE 10 CHNT�i Mr. Alwyne Presents Pianoforte Recital Brahms F Minor Sonata Played With Gracious Delicacy in Varied Program COMMENTS INTERESTING (Especially contributed by Elizabeth Jones, graduate student.) -. Goodhart, February 19.�The first three of the four groups included in Mr. Alwyne's pianoforte recital were prefaced by welcome explanatory com- ments from the interpreter. Before his first group, which began with the C Minor Variations of Beethoven, Mr. Alwyne recalled a few facts regard- ing the variation form. There are two large musical forms which may be styled "variations," the first com- monly called "theme and variations," the second of the "passacaglia" type. The Beethoven selection was of the first type, although a propos of the theme, it was a little surprising that this should be so, for this theme is a single sequence of ascending chords plus a cadence, whereas the usual theme is a small binary or tern- ary form, a songlike structure. Mr. Alwyne called attention to the fact that the ground figure of the great passacaglia of the Fourth Symphony of Brahms is nearly identical with this Beethoven theme, except that it is in a different key (E minor). The variation form has not the same sort of intrinsic unity as, for example, the sonata-allegro, but there was no lack of coherence of development in the selection of the evening. The short sections follow one another with very pleasing contrasting effects, carried out _ in the harmonic idiom known and loved as characteristic of all the large Beethoven pianoforte works. The Bagatelle, Op. S3, showed Beethoven in the mood of his most facile writing, and contained some very charming, and charmingly exe- cuted effects. The Ecossaisen proved, as Mr. Alwyne had said, to be a "slightly sophisticated" version of the supposedly Celtic original. Then followed the Sonata in F Minor, of Brahms, a work we do not hear often enough, partly because of the demands it makes on the skill of the performer. The difficulty of per- formance must be evident to all in the brilliant passages of rapid, wide leaps Continued on Page Four Poussin, Lorraine Lecturer Coming Dean States College Dr. Walter Friedlander will talk onI t � The Landscape Painting of Nicholas1, Scholarships Policy Poussin and Claude Lorraine, Their\ �______* Drawings and Pictures, in the Dean-! , __ . j m � \j �� ery, March 1 at 6 o'clock.

This is the second part of the article on college finances which was begun in the last issue of the News.) Spring time is budget time at Bryn Mawr. Computed on a basis of past income and expenditures with changes as the times indicate, an estimate of the expected income from endowment, tuition fees, rentals and halls of residence is carefully estimated by the Treasurer and Comptroller. This with a rough budget of expected ex- penses is worked over by Miss Park, who then sections off the budget to each of the committees of the Board of Directors (Executive, Buildings and Grounds, etc.), who are respon- sible for the many branches of the college. When these have been re- turned and any large changes care- fully investigated and checked, the entire budget is set before the Fi- nance Committee of the Board of Directors. In cases of conflicting demands on an overworked budget, it is they who must recommend which need takes precedence for final adoption by the Directors. In all cases the cautWus path is followed of drawing up the budget on the minimum expected income and the maximum expected expenditures, because once lost a deficit is irre- trievable. That this long and care- ful work is worth the trouble can be seen from a comparison of estimated inqeme and actual income. In one year the actual income exceeded the net income by a large margin of dancing may not be cut in order to dennitely. It was absolutely neces- attend the film showings.

About thirty students and two members of the faculty met together to choose officers and make plans for the future. Naomi Coplin, '38, was elected temporary chairman of the group, and Mary Riesinan, '39, was chosen secretary. Twenty-one of those present signed up as desiring to join the Union. Dr. Weiss and Dr. Miller were among those who attend- ed the first meeting. Dr. Kingsbury and Dr. Fairchild also expressed an interest in the Union. Another meet- ing will be held this Thursday which will consider the program of the Union and the particular plans for action by the Bryn Mawr group. safety of over 15 per cent. In com- paring estimated and actual expen- ditures, it often occurred that in a variable item the actual expenditures were within a few dollars and even a few cents of the budget appropria- tion. This again testifies to the fact that Bryn Mawr is a very good housekeeper, who keeps carefully within the bounds of her limited income. Primary Economies The peak of the depression was not reached until the academic year'1931- 1932. At that time the college faced a deficit as did nearly every other business in the United States. Econo- mies were in order, and wisely the college maintained salaries and wages at the usual rate as long as possible. The first drastic reduction in ex- penses was the cessation of exten- sion and improvements on the real estate properties. The maintenance crew was reduced to the minimum number necessary to conserve the campus, but improvements were de- ferred. The grass, for instance, was allowed to grow for longer in- tervals between cuttings to save on labor wages. But this was not suf- ficient, because the number of stu- dents receiving financial aid jumped from one in every seven students to one in every three students, and the total number of undergraduates drop- ped 5 per cent As a last resort for 1932-1933 it was necessary to recom- mend a small cut in salaries, so that Continued on Page Two Hot Box Fires Delay Weekenders (Contributed in News Tryouts) Even the presence of a warden did not prevent the lateness Sunday eve- ning of nineteen Bryn Mawr passen- gers on the popular 8 o'clock train from New York. The reason for the delay was at first obscured by vague reports from the conductors. Not until the passengers from the two actively troubled cars trooped into the rest of the coaches was it discovered that the commotion was caused by two "hot boxes" which occasioned more smoke and excitement than danger. No Bryn Mawrter was directly dis- comfited by the accident. Several limping starts made the possibility of getting to college on time seem hope- ful to some, who did not bother to telegraph. On the other hand,, not only did several apprehensive persons scurry to the nearest telegraph ser- vice, but some even wrote reminders of their excuse in the s;Knin>j-out books. Goodhart Hall, February 24.�In the third of his series of lectures on the interpretation of prose, Mr. I. A. Richards, having in his last lecture come to a definition <o( context and the philosophical problems connected with it, stated that he would by ap- plication of this definition to specific sentences turn the philosophical prob- lems to literary ones and attempt to show the conflict between the doc- trine of usage and the inter-inani- mation o"f words. Context is granted to be a recur- rent group of events, bound together by the causal law, which states that under gfrren conditions, of two events, if one, the cause, happens, the other, the effect, will also happen. By a spe- cial abridgment of context, a word be- comes a substitute for the non-re- curring parts of the context. In other words, it acts in behalf of the missinK part and what it means is what would complete the meaning. Literary context is the influence of words on one another in a passage. The problems that arise are: what do words in a sentence mean and how do they depend on other words? It will be readily admitted that only the words of highly technicalized science are wholly independent and always the same in meaning no mat- ter how they stand in a sentence. The words of conversational, more fluid discourse are, on the other hand, so fluctuating in meaning that not only are they inconstant, but of- ten the whole sentence in which co- operative meanings hang together may itself be unstable in meaning. This liability to shift in meaning applies to all the language functions of words as well as to their sense, that is, to one's feeling about what '�ne talks or writes about and wishes to convey, to the confidence that a remark is sound, and to the effect one desires to create. The combina- Contlnued on Page Five Horn-Dance to be Given Here for First Time Continued on Page Two Rehearsal Conflicts President Park and the May Day Director have made the fol- lowing arrangement with the Faculty whereby the name of any student who says she has to leave early for a rehearsal or that she is- not able to attend class or laboratory on account of a rehearsal shall be reported to the Dean of the College, who will then notify the May Day Director at once, so that any misunderstand may be cleared up. Rehearsals are being planned at hours which do not interfere with the routine of the College. Any student who finds that there is a conflict between a class or a laboratory And a re- hearsal for which she is posted should immediately report the conflict to the Director of May Day. i,.fr * Meeting of Philosophy Club Tlie newly organized student Phi- losophy Club has announced its first meeting for Tuesday, March 4. The place where the meeting will be held will be announced later. At a pre- liminary meeting three students were elected to a managing committee: Marjorie Goldwasser, '36; Elizabeth Lyle, '37, and Leigh Stenhardt, '37. The club is intended to arouse interest among the students in the discussion of philosophical prob- lems and to interest those taking re- quired philosophy in larger aspects of the course. Members of the faculty will be in- vited to the first meeting, at which the paper written by Augusta Arnold, '38, on Time in Aristotle will be read. All who are- interested are invited and it is suggested that reading the short passages on Time and Space in Ari- stotle's Metaphysics will be of assist- ance for the discussion which will fol- low the reading of the paper. First- year students in particular are urged to come. - Wrong Multiplication In the article on finances of the college appearing in the last issue of the News, an error was made in computing the approxi- mate value of the land on which the college stands. The figure should read $1,420,000 instead of $142,000. The Abbots Bromley Horn-Dance, to be given at Bryn Mawr for the first time this year, has a troupe of ten performers: six dancers, a fool, Maid Marian (sometimes referred to as a man-woman, which is a man dressed as a woman, but looking like a man dressed as a woman and not like a woman�,a difficult job for the cos- turner), n hobby-horse (looking like a man dressed as a hobby-horse), a boy with bow and arrow. There are also a musician with an accordian and a boy with a triangle. Each dancer carries reindeer horns set in a wooden counterfeit skull with a pole eighteen inches long by which to hold it. The first three dancers carry white or cream horns, while the last three carry blue ones. Each dancer bears the head in front of him, holding the handle with his left hand and the horns with his right. The fool carries a stick and bladder. The horse is painted wood, with a heavy mane. The dance is an extremely ancient one, probably having its origin in some religious festival. The boy's bow rep- resents an instrument of sacrifice, like the swords in the Morris dance, and the skins worn by the six dancers are also symbolic of the sacrifice. The horn-dance, different from any other, was done at the International Confer- ence in London last summer as a rep- resentative dance of England. News Try outs There will be a meeting of all candidates for editorial posi- tions on the College News in the News Office on Monday, March 1, at 5.30 p. m. Please bring at least one completed article. �

Episode Information
A new PBS Documentary* explores the uncomfortable fact that economic status greatly affects a person's health and longevity.
Unnatural Causes asks the question: Is inequality making us sick? It goes in search of neighborhoods where poverty leads to poor health outcomes - and a life expectancy nearly 10 years shorter than in other neighborhoods - and meets the people affected. We'll talk with producer Llew Smith about what local health departments and individuals can do.
Then, Health Director Baker Salsbury examines how Connecticut researchers are measuring this same problem in our neighborhoods. The data is broken down to a block by block assessment of health outcomes. One of the premises of the project: That health disparities are immoral and should be corrected.

Infant mortality is a serious problem in the United States, especially among African-Americans, for whom the rate is about 14 per 1000, compared to 6 per 1000 for whites and 7 per 1000 for all US inhabitants. Accordingly, it is disappointing that one of your guests, Lou Smith, the maker of a recent documentary on health inequalities, has called into question the credibility of his research by making such claims as "infant mortality is not a problem in West Africa."
According to the World Bank, among the world's 212 countries in 2005, the country with the highest infant mortality rate on the planet was the West African nation of Sierra Leone, where the infant mortality rate in 2005 was 165 per 1000. Infant mortality was almost as bad in several other West African countries: in fact, of the 21 countries in the world with 2005 infant mortality rates higher than 100 per 1000, seven were in West Africa, a far higher percentage than any other region of Africa (or the world): Sierra Leone (165/1000), Liberia (157/1000), Guinea-Bissau (124/1000), Equatorial Guinea (123/1000), Mali (120/1000), Ivory Coast (118/1000), and Nigeria (100/1000).
In making his claim about infant mortality in West Africa, Mr. Smith was trying to support an argument that US Blacks are no more genetically predisiposed than US Whites to infant mortality.
Mr. Smith's argument about US Blacks having no particular "genetic predisposition" to infant mortality is, I believe, entirely correct.
The problem is that the credibility of this correct claim about Blacks not being genetically predisposed to infant mortality is, unfortunately and perhaps dangerously, undermined by the demonstrably false assertion that infant mortality is "not a problem" in West Africa.

Vein stripping is surgery to remove varicose veins in the legs.
Varicose veins are swollen, twisted, and enlarged veins that you can see under the skin. They are often red or blue in color. They usually appear in the legs, but can occur in other parts of the body.
Normally, valves in your veins keep your blood flowing up toward the heart, so the blood does not collect in one place. The valves in varicose veins are either damaged or missing. This causes the veins to become filled with blood, especially when you are standing.
Vein stripping is used to remove or tie off a large vein in the leg called the superficial saphenous vein. This helps treat varicose veins.
Vein stripping usually takes about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. You may receive either:
During surgery:
Vein stripping with ligation, avulsion, or ablation; vein ligation and stripping; vein surgery
The doctor may recommend vein stripping for:
Today, doctors are doing fewer vein stripping surgeries because there are newer, non-surgical ways to treat varicose veins that don't require general anesthesia and are done without an overnight hospital stay. These treatments are less painful and have a much faster recovery time.
Vein stripping is usually safe. Ask your doctor about any problems that might occur.
The risks from any anesthesia include:
The risks from any surgery include:
The risks from vein stripping include:
Always tell your doctor or nurse:
During the days before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
Your legs will be wrapped with bandages to control swelling and bleeding for 3 to 5 days after surgery. You may need to keep them wrapped for several weeks.
Surgical vein stripping reduces pain and improves the appearance of your leg. Rarely, vein stripping causes scars. Mild leg swelling can occur. Be sure you regularly wear compression stockings .

Thamarit Suchart and Patricia Chen Suchart have been partners—both professionally and personally—for a long time. They went through the Rhode Island School of Design and Harvard University's Graduate School of Design together, marrying after moving to Phoenix in 2002. There they found work in separate offices—Thamarit at Wendell Burnette Architects and Patricia at Jones Studio—but soon they were working together again. Patricia resigned to start Chen + Suchart Studio in 2003. Thamarit kept his day job, devoting nights and early mornings to the family firm, until 2010. Together at the helm at last, they now devote their efforts solely to their own work, which marries precise modern geometries with the timeless Southwest landscape.
Almost diagrammatic in their simplicity, Chen + Suchart houses reflect the partners' immersive approach to construction detail and their interest in exploring the potential of such everyday materials as concrete block and rusted steel. "How do you take something so utilitarian and elevate it?" Thamarit asks. The answer begins in design, but depends equally on execution. "My wife and I take great pride in the construction process and working with the contractors and subcontractors," he says. "We're not just drawing things and handing them off to people; we're following through."

I'm not the type to call for a coach's head often, but if I owned the Rams, Spagnuolo would have been fired immediately after the game today. Were expectations too much for this Rams team this year? Maybe. Is the early schedule too much? Maybe. But it's not that they're losing games, it's the way they're losing them. I heard Spagnuolo in the post game saying that they game planned for Ray Rice to carry the load for Baltimore in the first half...fine, but change the damned game plan when it's clearly not working. It was clear that he was lost at that point. We were led to believe that Pat Shurmur was the reason for a stagnant offense last season, but he's not doing so bad in Cleveland. I love the McDaniels hire, but Spagnuolo seems to think that you can score 13 points in a game and win with defense...doesn't work in today's NFL.
So many penalties. I don't want to hear about the lack of training camp, because every team in the league had the same schedule for that. The penalties are a reflection of the coaching staff.
Detroit and Buffalo were every bit as bad as the Rams were 3 years ago when Spagnuolo was hired, and they're both leading monster divisions. This team is getting worse. Again, not even so much the losses, it's the WAY they're losing games.
To quote someone from a Rams message board, "The only difference between Linehan and Spagnuolo is the spelling". Spags is a good guy, no question, but he's not a head coach.

Flomerics Software Used to Create First Real-Time Cooling Calculator for Data Centers
July 2008
Flomerics, a world leader in the computer simulation of engineering design processes, today announced that APC (American Power Conversion) recently selected Flomerics' FloVENT computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to develop the world's first real-time cooling calculator for data center design. The calculator computes a cooling performance metric called the capture index that assesses the local airflow around each rack and evaluates cooling performance and the scalability of cooling architecture.
As data center cooling becomes more complicated and expensive due to the rapid rise in power densities of modern computing and communications systems, the ability to predict local temperature and airflow near equipment racks becomes critical. Running computer simulations of the airflow and heat transfer throughout the data center can provide a solution, but analyzing the results requires time and expertise. Through the use of Flomerics' FloVENT CFD software, APC developed a much simpler approach that enables the user to model a wide range of data center configurations and distill the results into simple algorithms that predict cooling performance for typical data center layouts. APC engineers calculated the capture indices for many thousands of rack and cooler layouts from FloVENT simulations. Based on these results, APC developed mathematical models that predict the capture index based on data center layout without the need for a full 3D airflow simulation. These models were then incorporated into APC software tools developed for designing and managing data centers such as InfraStruXure Designer and Capacity Manager.
"We are excited to partner with APC to help data center designers and owners evaluate different arrangements of computing equipment and cooling systems in order to optimize their data center design and ensure satisfactory cooling performance prior to equipment installation or reconfiguration," said Mike Reynell, marketing director, Flomerics. "The Flomerics software development and engineering teams understand the value of the capture index to data center cooling applications and were able to deliver the needed functionality."
The cooling calculator helps design and maintains data centers that deliver reliable performance while minimizing cooling costs. The user is able to quickly and easily lay out the physical arrangement of equipment in the data center by dragging and dropping virtual racks and coolers. Cooling calculations are then performed in real time and cooling performance is immediately indicted by a color coding of racks based on capture index.
"Our real-time cooling calculator based on Flomerics software brings important new benefits to APC Capacity Manager customers," explained Phil London, vice president and chief technologist of Data Center Solutions, Services and Software at APC. "Managers now can run predictive scenarios to make faster decisions about additions, changes and events, resulting in greater operational efficiency in data centers."

Physics is perhaps the most basic of sciences, describing concepts which are the underpinnings for all other scientific fields. The physicist's approach is to describe the world through the application of basic physics concepts to increasingly realistic models. As such, there are several fundamental skills that the physics curriculum seeks to promote in its students.
- Content knowledge. As scientists, we benefit from centuries (or even millennia) of the work of others. While we wouldn't want to accept any particular theory or "law" as being unquestionably true, there are quite a lot of well-established principles we would be wise to accept as valid until/unless we have a really good reason to doubt them. This built-up body of knowledge is a crucial part of our training.
- Modeling. Real physical systems are usually quite complicated, often with many effects all acting at once. How can we describe a simpler version of physical systems to which we can apply the basic principles of physics? To do so, we need to include the essential pieces, while neglecting the non-essential pieces. It takes experience to know the difference, and gaining that experience is a significant part of what we do.
- Experimental measurements. The ultimate test of a theory or model's validity is whether it accurately describes the behavior of the physical system on which it is based. So we need to be able to make measurements of physical systems so that we can compare the results of those measurements to what our theories and models would predict. Our students will study experimental design, data analysis, and the skills involved in comparing experimental and theoretical results.
What then do students study in the classroom as a physics major at Westminster College?
- A physics major begins his/her study of physics at Westminster with a two-semester calculus-based sequence of Principles of Physics (I and II). Students will develop an appreciation for the basic principles of classical mechanics, sound, fluids, thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, and optics. And they will use these principles both in solving problems and analyzing data acquired in the laboratory. At present, these courses are taught with the support of the excellent text Understanding Physics. Just as the textbook is guided by the latest findings of physics education researchers, Westminster's physics department seeks to incorporate activity-based physics in the approach to these crucial introductory courses.
- Students entering Westminster in the fall of 2010 will find their sophomore year devoted to a further study of Thermal Physics and additional study of Classical Mechanics. The Thermal Physics course is accompanied by the book of the same title by Schroeder. With this exceptionally well-written and very readable text, Westminster's physics department will introduce students to such fundamental concepts as entropy, temperature, chemical potential, and free energy. The Mechanics course uses the text Analytical Mechanics by Fowles & Cassiday and introduces students to new levels of mathematically sophisticated analysis. Meanwhile, students will be introduced to advanced mathematical modeling techniques and numerical problem-solving skills in the two-semester sequence of Computational Physics I and II.
- In their junior year, students who enter Westminster in the fall of 2010 will study Modern Physics, Electromagnetic Theory, and Experimental Physics (I and II). Modern Physics introduces students to the two major innovations of the 20th century - special relativity and quantum mechanics, while Electromagnetic Theory gives students an advanced picture of the interactions of charged and/or magnetic particles with each other. The laboratory experiences in Experimental Physics go well beyond the level of the laboratories performed in the first year. In these courses, students are much more involved in experimental design and analysis of data. Many experiments touch on the early evidence for quantum mechanics and are thus well-aligned with the contents of the Modern Physics Course. Students will also take a course in Astrophysics during the junior year (optional for those in the 3-2 engineering concentration). The Astrophysics course provides students with the opportunity to take a detailed look in on one specific modern area of scientific inquiry to build a better understanding of what contemporary physics research is like.
- As seniors, those students pursuing the 3-2 Engineering concentration will have departed to the engineering department of another institution, there to pursue additional training in their chosen engineering field. All others will complete the Capstone courses. In the fall, seniors receive additional training in professional writing and speaking, a review of important principles in physics (especially relevant for those heading off to graduate school in physics), and most importantly guidance in selecting a topic for the projects they'll complete in the spring. The diligent work of the spring leads to a successful capstone experience! Moreover, students who enter Westminster in the fall of 2010 will greet a more detailed approach to Quantum mechanics during their senior year. Students will learn the fundamental principles that underlie the quantum mechanical approach to understanding the world and apply those principles to solvable 1- and 3- dimensional problems. Students will also be introduced to the approximation techniques required to solve most quantum mechanical problems. The text used is the elegant book by Griffiths.
- Westminster's physics department regularly offers elective courses in Electronics, Optics, and Nonlinear Dynamics for additional enrichment. Moreover, the faculty encourages students to study areas of particular interest in independent study classes. In recent years, students have taken independent study classes to pursue additional research opportunities as well as studies in Advanced Quantum Mechanics, Fluid Dynamics, and Microcontroller Technology.
See the Westminster College catalog for an official description of the major or minor in physics and the physics courses
offered by the Department.
Students at Westminster may elect to participate in the 3-2 Engineering concentration to complete their physics studies.

text: Berkeley Arts + Letters presents: CHRIS FARRELL: "THE NEW FRUGALITY: HOW TO CONSUME LESS, SAVE MORE, AND LIVE BETTER" Thursday, January 21 7:30 PM at the Hillside Club (2286 Cedar Street, Berkeley) $12 advance (Brown Paper Tickets or 800-838-3006), $15 at the door (Hillside members half price) According to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, The Great Recession may technically be over. But what's clear is that, no matter what the GDP may be, people are hurting financially. In THE NEW FRUGALITY, Chris Farrell, personal finance expert for American Public Media's Marketplace Money and contributing economics editor for BusinessWeek, presents a new paradigm for surviving the greatest economic crisis in a generation. The embrace of what Farrell calls the New Frugality signals that half a century of people spending with abandon and borrowing as much as possible is done. Profligacy is out. Frugality is in. Also, The Great Recession comes at a time of another great crisis related to our over consumption: global climate change. This convergence of crises creates opportunities and new ways to be frugal. In everyday money decisions, it turns out that being frugal and being green are synonymous. Farrell suggests we should focus not only on what's affordable in the short term, but also on what's sustainable in the long term. If you're thinking about getting rid of your car and buying a bike to save money, there's no reason you should buy a two-wheeled clunker from Craigslist that needs a trip to the bike shop every other day. As Farrell demonstrates, there's a difference between being frugal and being cheap. We'll still need places to live (do we buy or rent?), to save for college, and every now and then go into a little debt. How we make these choices will be as important as the choices themselves. THE NEW FRUGALITY offers smart, sustainable, and ultimately more fulfilling ways to approach our personal finances and get more out of spending less.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Fefe Very disappointed
We saw what we thought was the small Marion in the store, so I surprised my daughter by ordering it on line, and we were definitely surprised, it should be called the tiny marion or change purse because you cannot fit a phone in it. I ordered it for my daughters birthday from the States and had my cousin bring it with her to Dubai, prices in the Dubai store are much more than the USA which is odd since there are no taxes, I had to send it by fedex back to the States so my sisters to return it...

A very close friend of our family has the piece of metal, that's how I was able to view and hold it.
He is an ex US Marine and it was given to him by a fellow serviceman.
I forgot to add that the metal piece is non magnetic.
I wasn't saying that the Nazi's sent the craft only that they were involved in the technology but captured and advanced by the Russian Government who in turn sent the two crafts. It's possible but I'm not 100% positive that it happened that way.
There has to be other life in the universe or within the world besides us war monger humans.
I bet we were from Mars originally. Who knows?

I remember well a touching story a colleague told me years ago. It was about her grandfather, who—despite his duties as husband, father of five, and the household breadwinner—joined the U.S. Army to fight, and risk his life, in what would become World War II. He thankfully returned home safely to re-join his wife, kids, and mother, albeit lacking a fingertip or two. He didn't just live. He returned … Read More

In 75 A.D. the Romans picked a nice spot in what is today southern Wales to build a fort or caer. A few hundred years later Saint Cenydd entrusted the monastery he started there to his son Ffilli, and thus was born the beginnings of the town of Caerphilly.
One of the cheeses we get from Neal's Yard Dairy in London is named for the town of Caerphilly because that's where most of the wheels (made in the surrounding countryside) were sold. The delicious Caerphilly cheese we sell in our store today is made at Gorwydd Farm in the town of Llanddewi Brefi in Ceredigion, about two hours northwest. (Yes Little Britain fans, this is the fictional hometown of Dafydd Thomas).
Todd Trethowan started making the cheese on his family's farm after an apprenticeship with Chris Duckett, who was at that time one of the last farmers making traditional Caerphilly. Trethowan's Caerphilly is made in the old style of a simple farmhouse cheese. The raw cow's milk comes from only one farm and Trethowan uses natural animal rennet and ages his cheeses for 3 months. The result is a hearty and uncomplicated cheese with a pale white paste and a lovely lumpy grey rind.
We get a variety of tastes from Gorwydd Caerphilly: earthiness from the rind and a dry leafy background, but the overwhelming flavor is the zippy, yogurty tang. This is a cheese that shines with a hunk of dark bread and a big beer.
We've had good luck pairing Caerphilly with a variety of beers from citrusy IPAs to brown ales, but the cheese seems to be at its best with a crisp, yeasty wheat beer. If you ever have some free time at the end of July, head to Caerphilly for their 'The Big Cheese' Festival, known in Welsh as 'Y Caws Mawr'.
Here are a few hints about the Welsh language to aid in pronunciation. A double D is pronounced "th" as in 'this'. A PH is pronounced like an 'f''. The double L is more of a blowing out sound than an actual letter, and 'r's are always trilled. Aren't you glad the cheese is made in Llanddewi Brefi and not in the town of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllanty-siliogogogoch?

This creme is a great and smooth creme that you don't need a ton of to massage properly (ie Lotion). It's great for relaxation or treatments massage. So versatile and it smells fabulous. I used the Relaxing Therapeutic Creme for a while and the lavender smell just annoyed me after a while. The smell of this one I just really love. This will not pump, you need a jar or just plop it on your arm, whatever floats your boat. You are not throwing your money away on this. Great value, lasts forever. Creme is the way to go!
Love this creme! I've used several during my 16 year career and this one is definitely my "go to" creme. Glides very nicely, smells fabulous (but not too smelly), neither sticky or greasy. You cannot go wrong with this creme.

I enjoyed this article very much. Go fly a man, but what I do not understand is why the writer felt the need to point out that you are"Cuban-American"as far as I'm concerned you are"American"you were born in this country, and that's that. There was no need for Mr. Miller to include that term. I understand his life story made him the man he is today. But why must we label him as Cuban-American, when he was born in the United States. We are the great melting pot. until we stop labeling each other,we will never be truly united.below is a copy of an open letter to Mr. Ben Jealous of the NAACP and it explains my idea and how I feel about putting America first.
Dear Mr. Jelous, I have become quite alarmed at the casual use of African-American. The American experience is insulted every time we hyphen America. The American experience is a great melting pot, we come from all spices of the world to be Americans. America has never demanded one to forget their heritage, we add that to the great experience of America. But in order for us to be unified as a country, we must put America first. And that means we must stop hyphenating America. I will agree that Americans of African dissent have a very unique reason for being in America. And for that there is no argument to your suffering for equal rights. Also, when I refer to hyphenating America, I'm also talking about all other ethnic groups too. I will refer to the great melting pot of America also. I believe that all the cultures in the world add their flavors to the American melting pot, and language, especially a single language, is the broth that brings the flavors together in the wonderful soup that we call America. But that's another conversation, but I will refer to it in my argument for my proposal. I've always been a student of history, and the plight of the worlds persecuted that came to America for a better life. They came here to be Americans. This is been part of my core values since I was very young. What started me on this quest, was watching a show called" In search of" with Leonard Nimoy, in this particular episode, the host was examining the interment of Americans during WW II.. He was interviewing a woman who was born in the United States. He made it a point when introducing her, to refer to her as an "American" of Japanese descent. That spoke volumes to me. The 14th amendment states, if were born on this soil, we are American citizens. This interview, laid dormant in my brain for many years until blacks started referring to themselves as African Americans, and I remembered how Leonard Nimoy referred to this woman, who was born in this country. And knowing American history, after the English, the Africans were the next people's to immigrate to the US.(Even though it was not by choice). And I realized, that the blacks ancestors have been in this country longer than 80% of the other ethnic peoples who have immigrated to the US. So by default, they are more Americans than most other people. I'm not trying to diminish the experience of Americans of African descent, for it was an abomination to those people. But nevertheless, American blacks are not Africans. They don't talk like Africans, they don't think like Africans, etc. etc. etc. just like any other ethnic group you wish to look at, for example. Americans of Italian dissent, they connect with the old country, but if you were to take an Italian and compared to an American of Italian dissent, it would be quite different. The American experience is unique. I feel when we hyphenate America, we separate ourselves from each other. If we continue down this path, we will never get rid of racism. Etc. etc.. Every time I have a job application, college application, census , they asked me to check a box for my race. They have many options, I refuse to check any box. When the censers came around, I did not check any race. And would you know, I got a phone call from the Census Bureau asking me to designate a race. I refused, explaining to them that we cannot end racism until we refuse to check the box on what your race is. As far as I'm concerned, we are all Americans, and that's all I need to know. A couple years ago there was a photograph of a DJ in a newspaper. The caption was DJ ????(i for got his name), a Puerto Rican- Cuban- American. And I asked myself, well, what is he, is he Puerto Rican?, is a Cuban?, is he an American?, he could not have been born in Puerto Rico and Cuban at the same time, and it's obvious that one parent is Puerto Rican, and one parent is Cuban. He was probably born in the United States of America. But why did they not put America first?????? I will be happy to celebrate your ancestry, and the unique contribution to America, but let's be Americans first!. That's how I felt when I saw all the caption under his photograph. Living in Miami for many years I've gotten to talk to people from around the Caribbean. When I asked a Haitian of African dissent who he is, he says with pride, I am Haitian, when I ask a Jamaican of African dissent, who he is, he says with pride. I am Jamaican. When I asked a Cuban of African dissent, who he is, he says with pride, I am Cuban. The message is clear, they have pride in their birthright. Most blacks who come from the Caribbean, identify with the country they were born in. They all have great national pride. Thay have knowledge of their African dissent and celebrated it and integrate their African heritage into their unique experience of the Caribbean, but put their country first, with great pride. The blacks in America, as far as I'm concerned do not have pride in their birthright. That is not limited to just Americans of African descent, I'm referring to anyone else who wants to put their heritage first before their birthright of America. Again, I do not wish to deny anyone their heritage, I welcome and enjoy the spice and flavor they bring to America. It is time that all peoples of this great nation celebrate their birthright. For the last 20 years, this issue has been a passion of mine. When talking to people of all ancestries, people generally agree that we need to put America first. In a perfect world, our race and ancestry would not be an issue. I hope that I get to see that day. But in the meanwhile, let's not worry about what is politically correct. Let all peoples of the world who have immigrated to United States of America refer to themselves as Americans of____________( insert ancestry) dissent. When we identify ourselves as one people, then and only then will we be able to leap beyond the label of race. We must start somewhere and resolving this issue that the government has been continued labeling of individuals. I hope that my argument and my experience that I share with you will inspire you to join my cause. Every time I watch the news and they refer to a black individual as African American, it makes my blood boil. I yell at the TV" he's not African". You must understand, Mr.Jelous, I love my country and all the people and it. I may not agree with them, but I will defend their rights to be Americans. And when Americans of African dissent or any other dissent, who is born in this country is referred to themselves as hyphenated- American doesn't seem right. I do see the black community has a pride in their uniqueness of their particular American experience. And I think that is awesome. All of the arts that have come from black Americans, is uniquely American. The blues, R&B, rap, etc. etc. and that's only music. There's a great deal of contributions of black Americans to America,that makes America unique. Without the black American experience in slavery, we wouldn't have the blues, and without the blues, we wouldn't have rock 'n roll. Do you see where I'm going with this. Morgan Freeman once was asked about Black history month, his feelings were that it should not be" Black history", because people like George Washington Carver were Americans first. And should be celebrated as an American first. That black Americans, should not be referred to as blacks or Africans, but simply as Americans and we should abolish Black history month. And I believe it to be a very noble idea. Because we're all Americans, and we should celebrate that and only that, regardless of color or race. I think that's what I'm trying to convey to you today. This subject has been on my mind for many years. I have many thoughts and ideas on the subject. I hope that I've been able to convey to you my passions and desires for unifying the United States of America. Where a country where no one asks what color you are. I know it's a long journey away, but we must start somewhere. I did not know where to start my campaign for America first. But after watching you on the Ed Schultz show I decided that the NAACP President would be a good place to argue my case. I feel that you to have a unique experience of your own America , and I feel that she would be sympathetic to my case. I love my country, and I'm a staunch independent. From time to time, I'm guilty looking at my fellow citizen with question, though I know my core values will prevail. And I will greet my fellow man with love. All my friends who are of African dissent, agree with me that referring to themselves as Africans first is affront to be an American. At first, they are skeptical, but after argue my case with logic and . They come around to my side. Please consider my argument in my proposal, for I only wish that we all come together as Americans first. I love my country, and I love the idea of America. I just hope, however, you came to this country, you embrace the idea of America, life has been hard for many peoples Africans, Irish, Scottish, German, Russian, Italian, Greek, Chinese, etc. etc. etc. who have come to this country for a better life. Let's be" Americans of______________(insert ancestry) dissent. Even though this is not what I want to see. I would like it if we would not have any designation of race or ancestry, but we have to start somewhere. We need a nationalistic pride, not the kind of nationalistic pride that brought forth things like the third Reich, or Italian fascism, or Soviet communism, but the kind of nationalistic pride that brings peace to everyone in our country. I know it sounds a little liberal and dreamy, but I think it could be done. And my 20 plus years of talking to people of all walks of life, it would seem that about 70% of the people fall in the middle and agree with our basic core values. It's the 30% of the blowhards on the right and left that dominate the media, and in turn, dominate mainstream thinking, or so they want us to think?, but my experience is that most people agree with what I'm saying. Thank you for your time. And I hope that my letter has inspired you to start a new movement of"America first". I guarantee from my experience, a majority of Americans are in favor of my ideas. There is a silent majority out there, that is yet to be tapped.how would you like if I always refer to myself as Robert Krawitz, an Scottish,English, Russian Jew, maybe French or Puerto Rican (to be determined) American,(see how absurd that sounds). We need to stop this insanity. Sincerely,Robert Krawitz PS. Please respond that you've received this letterPSS. This letter was dictated Dragon
