偶同事的朋友A,男,38,年新$150K+,未婚,一个人住一个很大的single house,今
年初买入另一个大的house,两个房子距离20mile左右,空在那里,周末过去大理草
坪。。。。

比较狠的事迹是,房子close之后,特意take 了一周的假期,开车尾随房子周围的6家
邻居,每天早出晚归,回来对偶同事说,基本上摸清楚了邻居们都是在哪里工作,开什
么车子,孩子在哪里daycare等等情况,说很放心,这些人都还算正经人家。

后来又传来一个更狠的事迹,新家没有用waste management,该男每次将垃圾放在车上
,途经路上一间餐馆的露天trash can扔进去,这样过了2个月,被该餐馆老板发觉,
告上local法庭,被判罚款16000刀。

后来同事又传言说该男在过去10年里从来没买过卫生纸,基本上从学校厕所拿,上班
后从公司拿。。。而且拿的很有技巧,用半卷去换新的一卷,用了一半之后再带回去换
新的。。。所以没人发觉。。。。

某男B,60年出生,出国时与原配离婚,小孩随母亲在国内农村。出国时办了个假身份
证,把出生年改成64年,开始上网,托朋友到处找mm,果然在另一州找到一大龄女破
是到C,急不可耐过去上床,回来叹气说,唉好像生过孩子,然后就对C不冷不热,C追
问之下,B想出一个巨狠的理由将C据掉,说几周前走路上被邻居的狗咬到鸡鸡,结果阳
委并失去生育能力。。。云云。。。C听此bullshit,恶心而退。

此同时从国内搭上一年轻mm,比自己小15岁。于是再次委托国内牛人,办另一假身份
证把生年改成67年。回国相亲,对方父母觉得太老,解释说出生农村,从小干体力活
,但是自强不息,最后拿到10万美金奖学金出国。。。。带给未来岳父的礼物是几十
支1毛钱一只的口服液,在costco买的,说中国买不到,一定要喝啊。。。

这些都不是最狠的,最狠的是,07年初联系到国内某高校任教,7月份开始正式回国
工作。从一月份开始,此男开始频繁参加教会活动,受洗做见证,经常流泪说自己有罪
,是神改变了自己,平时还经常去帮忙搬家什么的,周围认识的人都说一向ws的B怎么
变了一个人。6月份向教会的20多个家庭分别借了1万到5万刀美金(理由是妹妹得
绝症要换肾。。。),7月份突然回国,从此再无踪影。到此时大家才知道此人回国定
居了。当然钱是别想要回来了。信用卡也被花了几万,这一把赚了接近1个million。。
。。。至今还没有人找到B男。

某男C,前roommate的roommate,来美国时年仅24,属于有为青年,第一次大家聚会
,语出惊人:我们来美国的,身价都大涨,一定要利用好这个优势,国内想出国的人多
多。。。大家皆鄂然。

没想到C来3个月后安定下来,通知其国内妈妈让联系有女儿想出国的有钱人,说可以
办假结婚,要价50万RMB,反复叮嘱其母不可透露底价,多多当然更好。没想到,很
快,其八面玲珑之母联系到一千万富商,说想让他帮忙把独生女F办出国,愿意给10
0万。C喜出望外,但依然保持镇静,起草一份协议书FAX回国说一定要对方签字说是假
结婚,因为这样的生意还要做下去。对方欣然应允签字。几个月后,暑假回国结婚,发
现对方虽是独生女,但年长C近10岁,离过婚而且相貌很抱歉。不过看在钱的份上,
办了酒习,拿了证,拍了一堆照片用作F2签证用。大款果然出手爽快,结婚当天掏20
万现金拍在桌上,说后面80万等周转开就给。

没想到F女竟然顺利签过F2,来美国后和C同居一室,再不提离婚之事。大家看到其搬过
来的全部都崩溃。C反复提出要离婚,F拿出协议说你敢离婚我把你告到移民局告你走私
人口。C郁闷到死。。。。F正值虎狼之年,每晚必要1到2次,说让C想出去找别的妞
都没精力。。。。更郁闷的是,半年后,C母打电话来说那个所谓大款原来是个骗子,
剩下的80万影子都没有。。。F说现在经济紧张让C母把那20万寄过来。。。又半年
后,F说国内还有一个6岁的儿子,要接过来。。。C彻底崩溃。。。


两单身男新生Y和Z,来美后和一对夫妇合租一个3BR。第一次见面,夫妇用浓重的中国
XX地区方言自我介绍,俺叫牛XX,学物理的,你叫俺牛顿好了,她叫马XX,简单点你们
叫她马格力特就行了。Y和Z皆惊倒,听说过用英文名的,第一次遇到用英文中译的。夫
妇坚持大家share电话,其实基本上就他俩通话,每天都能听到的对话是"喂,牛顿啊,
啥时回家啊,饭快好了。。。","哦,马格力特,半小时就到",每次电话都有很夸张的
结尾"哦,我爱你牛顿","哦,我爱你马格力特",听多了,Y和Z也不吐了。

经典事迹是,周六该夫妇从不做饭,附近一家中餐buffet早上3.99,中饭5.99,晚饭8.
99,该夫妇周六一大早进去,带着课本作业,坐上一天,4块钱吃一天,晚上回家。几
个月过去,餐馆老板都怕了,不得不在门口贴了告示早饭滞留者,午饭晚饭额外收费。
后来该夫妇发现教会中午可以免费吃饭,从此顿顿不拉,经常中午11点多匆忙回家,
包放下,两个人紧张地出门,说赶紧赶紧,去晚了就没饭了。。。

马格力特虽然相貌平平,但生的一双豪乳,每日俩人坐在公用的客厅里当Y和Z的面摸乳
,一边还小声调情“阿呀,漏出来了”,“没事,他们看不到”,“看看,硬了,硬了
”,“你的也硬了”,声音虽小,还是故意让旁边的YZ听见。。。某天,牛顿不在家,
马格力特和YZ闲聊,聊到女朋友什么的,马格力特问他们摸过奶没,此问让YZ无言以对
,最后Y说摸过,马格力特指着自己胸继续问摸过这么大的吗?。。。后来半开玩笑说
,10块钱摸一次,YZ说多长时间啊?马格力特想了想10秒钟吧。。。干脆就请我和
牛顿一起吃顿buffet,别高速他就行了。。。。听着是开玩笑。结果后来果然Y和Z分别
请他俩吃了好几顿buffet。。。。

某男E,姓王,年龄35左右,偶师弟的前roommate,4年前来美,和偶师弟还有另一
单身男合租3br。看上去有点狡猾,其实人不坏。来美第一个月每天回家很晚,而且每
次都拎了一个大大的袋子鬼鬼祟祟进自己的屋子,后来另二人就好奇问他是啥玩意儿,
不说。后来终于有天可能屋子里堆满了,E小心翼翼地问偶师弟,附近哪里有收废纸箱
子和易拉罐的?偶师弟老实回答说没听说过,好像没有,E颇为失望,后来经多方确认
之后,叹气说,美国人生活真浪费啊,这么多纸箱子都扔街上不回收。花了几天时间把
一屋子垃圾分批扔回垃圾筒,大概有几百公斤的样子。从此,E就在当地华人圈子一举
成名,江湖人称王破烂或者破烂王。

另一件大家印象深刻的是,E和大家一起carpool周末买菜,经过麦当劳或者肯德基什么
的,会让停一下,从包里拿出一个麦当劳或肯德基的纸杯子,进去灌满一杯出来边喝边
得意地对大家说,看我免费喝可乐。后来大家观察到每家快餐店他都准备了一个杯子,
到哪就用哪的杯子。而且杯子上都用透明胶带缠上,不容易坏。这也就算了,E还准备
了一个超大的水壶,每次进出麦当劳几次,用杯子把一大壶灌满,带回家慢慢喝。后来
大家突然想起来,怪不得每次大家potluck,他都是自告奋勇带饮料,每次都是装满的
大可乐而且盖子都是打开过的。。。大家也就突然明白为什么每次大家喝完的可乐瓶子
他都收集起来,洗干净存在自己屋子里了。。。这件事情传开了,许多人恶心的不行,
送其新绰号王可乐或者可乐王。

后来又一件E的事迹震动当地华人圈。E在大学期间就精通从宿舍楼道拉电线进宿舍烧电
炉,到这里观察了一圈,从楼下一个老墨那里拉了根线进来,从此就免费用电了,12
月去walmart买个heater,回来烧到春天3月份退回去,8月去买个海尔空调,用到1
0月再退回去。楼下的老墨也是比较傻,到周末就是喝酒唱歌,一年多没发现电费账单
有问题。。。后来,E在江湖上又多了个绰号王电工或者电工王。

后来E又做了件令当地全体华人所不耻的事情,最终导致他转学。事情的经过是这样的
,某一段时间,大家惊奇地发现周末的时候一向异常节省的E经常去中餐buffet,不久
,E被餐馆老板打911让警察抓走了,原来E在里面吃饭,一吃就是一天,看到哪桌有人
吃完离开留了小费,他就走上前,佯装是服务员,拿了小费绕一圈找个地方再坐下来等
下一桌,虽然这家buffet店很大,但是还是被别的服务生发现了,于是报警。
后来的情况大家都不清楚了,不知道怎么就转学走了,临走的时候,对roommate说屋子
里有写有用的东西,大家拿去用吧。打开其从来不对外开放的卧室,大家惊奇地发现里
面堆了200多包500页一包的打印纸,还有两千多只圆珠笔铅笔,都是系里的办公
室收集来的。。。。

(下面一段比较恶心,请刚吃饭的暂时不要看)

后来E就走了,大家谈起他一件件足以标榜史册的事迹,其中一件尤其让人难忘。E经常
从系里顺手捎带打印纸,写作业打草稿也就算了,E说他也用打印纸擦屁股,有人问说
那么硬不会伤屁股么?E自豪地回答,只要拼命把打印纸揉烂了,就可以用了。。。大
家说,你太艰苦了,E思考了以下回答说,比俺小时候算条件好多了,小时候大便都是
用树叶擦屁股。。。好事者继续追问,那冬天树叶落光了这么办?E说, 那就麻烦了,
用石头。。。。。。当然,后来当E发现学校卫生间有卫生纸可拿之后,就再不用打印
纸了。。。。。


F的故事比较离奇,
他是我们在学校一起修计算机课的,
自己的专业大概是生物工程或者生物信息工程什么的,有编成基础,学习成绩很好,
不过人属于对未来特别悲观的那种,
总是和我们慨叹说,成绩好有什么用,肯定找不到工作。。。

后来在中餐buffet认识了老板的一个女儿X,
两个人就对上眼了,开始date,
之后F性情就变得开朗多了,
还不时请我们去吃她家的buffet,
我靠,那女的长的真是漂亮,而且刚20岁,
她妈也就四十多一点,估计身家不下几百万,
我们都嫉妒啊,
对F说,别担心什么工作了,毕业了在这当老板,结婚拿绿卡,天天上美女,爽死了。
F是个处男,和X谈了两个多月都没动静,
后来X主动要和他发生关系,
F很为难,说自己没有经验,X说她也没经验。
有一天,就在X家,衣服都脱完了,
X说她心理很紧张,说要F坐椅子上,
两个手捆在椅子上心里才能消除紧张感,
F当然照做,然后X关了灯,在黑暗中做完,
F觉得很爽,就是有点被强奸的感觉,回来跟我们一描述,
大家说,忍了吧,说不定人家就这辟好,
后来的两三个月,几乎每星期都有几天F到X家里,
被绑着在黑暗里硬上若干次。。。
后来F发觉不对,
回来告诉我们说,好象每次都是X的妈在跟他做。。。
后来F再也不提这件事了。。。

客厅的改变

不说话,贴图

两周之前的客厅


上周的客厅

这周末的客厅
从教会淘到了沙发,但是老婆不满意于沙发套的陈旧,毅然DIY了一套坐垫和靠背。地上铺一块西班牙羊毛毯(也是)。我觉得这回真的像回事了。
我们的生活就从这里开始了。

Seriously who gives a crap how China feels about this? They have always viewed Taiwan as a rogue state that should be part of China, and have condemned the Dalai Lama since day one. In fact, I find it odd that China would even open their mouths to denounce the visit to Taiwan of a peaceful liaison such as Dalai Lama - it only enhances the world’s view of them as the repressive, tyrannical nation that they already are. WAKE UP CHINA! You are the world’s largest polluter now, the last powerful communist nation. You enslave your own people to cheap labor not in the hopes to advance your society but in the hopes of financially crushing the markets of free countries. YOU China are truly this generations "Evil Empire" and I long for the day when the world unites against YOU with economic sanctions until you change your ways and how you deal with your fellow humans. Until that day, here’s wishing you nothing but the WORST!

Why do they care if someone wants to visit Taiwan? This is childish. Why do the Chinese people allow a government to own them? I guess I shouldn't complain too much since China basically owns the US.

I find the Chinese regime and insult to the modern world. Forget the East versus West, their mentality to the world and their own people is simply unacceptable, period. Three thousand years has not taught many it seems to behave with some respect and integrity.

As an expat living in Taiwan, I have become increasingly disgusted with China as a whole. Their claims over Taiwan are completely unjustified and the only reason they want it is so that they can control the Taiwan Strait. Thus, effectively being able to cut Japan off or its trade routes.
I hope the world starts to really take notice of what is happening here, so we don't have a repeat of Tibet. The Taiwanese people are not Chinese and don't want to be Chinese. The shark running the country right now is a wolf in sheep's clothing but because his political party owns 95% of the media in Taiwan, he has weaseled his way into office. He will hand Taiwan to China on a silver platter and the resulting events will be horrific. It will make the Tibet takeover look civilized.

China denounces the Dalai Lama. Wow, there's something you NEVER see happen. I couldn't imagine why they do such a thing. wtf?

Dalai Lama is the man! And the man always has haters. Why? Because he's the man. It just so happens in this situation the man is a decent man. The decent men do tend to have the most haters.

Sort of hard to say you claim ownership to Taiwan, when Taiwan is freely buying military equipment from the US, France, Germany, Canada, etc, has entered freely into trade & other agreements with other nations, and folks come & go as they please. The fact is, China cannot afford to destroy, or even damage Taiwan as they have over $100 Billion trade between the two nations. China's wealth has forged new partnerships with nations eager for investment, to the point these nations have ended their recognition of Taiwan as Independent; only a handful of nations still recog. Taiwin. However, I think it's realistic as China continues to modernize & ease restrictions on it's citizens (hopefully), meeting Taiwan's standards, the two may simply merge without issue. Only time will tell.

i agree with David, China REALLY needs to GROW UP!!!
I don't really believe in any religion, but what the Dalai Lama says and does makes you respect him....
It is stupid of how China is acting, not letting a holy man give condolences to the people that have SUFFERED from a catastrophic event...shows you that China REALLY CARES.
LONG LIVE THE DALAI LAMA!!

Screw China. They need to get over a lot of stuff. They have been around over 5,000 years and have been wrong most of that. There is no prestige in being chinese. Another example of when you outnumber them, you can do as you damned well please even if it is the wrong thing.

Continued trade with China should depend on the freeing of Tibet and give up all claims to Taiwan. Otherwise go back in your hole and have only internal trade.

well it's due to our arrogance.
they may say that they are our dutiful allies, but behind our back they hate us, they say that the US society is diseased, that we are power thirsty and aggressive, that we lay our fat butt and spur the world to do our dirty work. you know what they are planning to do, the EU are thinking that americans should end it's world reign as a world police and replace it with EU, then do you know what the ASEAN are planning to do? they think that we are the stone that hinder their progress and want to build new markets and create new technologies.

Why is anyone surprised? We condem the Chinese goverment for its actions against Tibet starting off with them murdering over a million Tibetans in the 50's when they took over the country, defaced all buddhist statues, burnt down temples, destroyed libraries, and forced the Dalai Lama out of the country. China OWNES the USA thanks to greed, big business and our goverment who bows to any country that they can make a buck off. I have been a practicioner of Tibetan buddhism for over 30 years. Our goal, like the dalai lama's, is to generate kindness and compassion towards all beings. Real radical idea eh? But, we do believe everything has a reason and the law of karma is reality. The result of the chinese invasion and takeover of Tibet has allowed these precious teaching to be spread world wide. So rather than stomping out Tibetan buddhist teachings they have spread them world wide. China will fail. You cannot suppress people forever with false doctrine.

一天的两堂课

下午上了系主任的lithography system,中间涉及到计算机远程登陆的事情。系主任就说,RIT这个远程登录好啊,在中国都能登录。然后很神秘地告诉大家。你们不知道吗?中国的网络都是被监管的,他们用过滤器过滤掉一切他们不要的东西。这种情况下我还是能远程登陆上我们的服务器,你说我们的服务器有多好。自从他前几周去上海参加了一个什么光电展后,几乎每堂课都要提一下“Shanghai,China”,显得特自豪。
晚上打工看实验室,碰到一个Lin老教授过来上课。Lin教授是个典型的中国人,说着一口chinglish,而学生中只有一个貌似华裔。上课是上机操作solid work 和一个FEM分析软件,所以节奏比较快。中间那个华裔学生节奏慢一点想提问了,他就说“你不是中国学生,你看看其他人,都是做得很好很快的中国学生”。然后一个美国女的模拟出来结果不对了,要提问。他回答:“你是说英语的吗?你是不懂我的中式英语吗?看看其他学生怎么都能得到正确的结果?他们都是聪明能动手的中国学生,你还不行啊。之前你的考试都能拿满分,但是这次我要给你零分了。”我在后面实在有点听不下去了,感情这位把中国学生视作聪明能干的代名词了。

Oldsmobile 的历史(我原来买了一辆古董车)

1904年出产的Curved Dash 是奥兹莫比尔,也是美国第一部手工生产的汽车。车重650磅,一缸引擎,当时售价650美元。

  2000年12月12日,通用汽车公司做出了一个令全球汽车界震惊的决定,也是一个令无数奥兹莫比尔汽车拥趸们倍感伤心的决定--未来几年内奥兹莫比尔将逐渐被淘汰。

上世纪80年代末,通用汽车公司奥兹莫比尔汽车生产量已下滑到警戒线以下,只有每年30万辆的水平,特别推出的独一无二的Aurora款也未能挽救它被淘汰的命运。2001年初,它被正式宣判“3年死缓”。2004年4月,在美国兰辛市,最后一辆奥兹莫比尔汽车Alero款驶离工厂大门,标志着这个拥有107年历史总产3500万辆的汽车品牌“寿终正寝”。在其辉煌的品牌史上,最让人难忘的经典作品仍是1963年推出的350马力4-4-2的“muscle car”和1965年推出的第一款前驱轿车Toronado。 

  应该说奥兹莫比尔最终有这样的结局并不完全出乎意料,但对于这样一个有着103年辉煌历史、通身充满了王者风范的汽车品牌来说,这一天来得还是太快了。

  奥兹莫尔比汽车工厂成立于1879年,2年后生产出自己的第一辆汽车-CurvedDash Runabout,是美国汽车领域的老牌先驱。奥兹莫比尔曾经有过傲人的业绩和创造:它是美国第一个开展汽车出口业务的厂家;在40年代生产出第一部带自动变速器的汽车;60年代制造了美国第一部四轮驱动汽车……

  然而历史毕竟是历史,汽车工业随着时代的变迁也在飞速向前发展着。随着其它汽车巨头的日益发展壮大和更多汽车新秀的不断涌现,汽车行业掀起了一浪高过一浪的争热潮。

  1911年,奥兹莫比尔有限旅程轿车(Oldsmobile Limited Touring Sedan)问世。

  直至二十世纪九十年代,全球的汽车厂家为争夺市场,各自使出浑身解数,采取推陈出新、价格优惠、成本节约等措施,力求在激烈而残酷行业拚杀中争得一席之地乃至获得更多的利益。1995年,在通用的策划和带领下,奥兹莫比尔推出了250马力、4.0升V8的AURORA,使之成为该公司的旗舰产品。此后它又陆续推出ALERO、INTRIGUE、SILHOUETTE和BRAVADA等新品牌,为这个有着深厚汽车文化积淀的品牌注入了新鲜血液。这些汽车在外观造型上兼具了传统的豪门贵族气派和时尚的现代气息,在性能上也达到了业界先进水平。

  1941年,在奥兹莫比尔的密西根兰辛工厂,公司高级员工庆祝该厂第一部6缸club轿车问世。

  1949年生产的“火箭88”,在业界首开采用高压缩V8引擎的先河,当年销量创下了100,274辆的好成绩。

  1966年生产的“龙卷风”,被奥兹莫比尔确立为第一部现代前轮驱动汽车,并夺得当年的“年度车”奖。

  1970 4-4-2发动机体积455立方英寸,功率365马力,4桶化油器,4档变速器,双排气。

  即便如此,奥兹莫比尔的销售业绩却呈逐年下滑趋势。今年前11个月,全球汽车业整体业绩比去年上涨了3.5个百分点,而通用的整体销售仅增加了0.2个百分点(销量458万部),其中奥兹莫比尔销售量为265,878部小汽车和轻型卡车,同比下降了18.5%,是通用所有品牌中销售最差的一个,极大地拖了通用的后腿。在过去几年中,通用为挽救奥兹莫比尔,在人力和物力上做出了巨大的投入。光是数款新车的推出,耗资就超过了30亿美元,可惜收效甚微。

加州要破产了(转)

加州有可能在两个月内破产。加州政府预算已经快要耗尽,预估到後年六月为止的2009会计年度,加州将出现420亿美元的财政缺口,州议会两党23日协商破裂,州长阿诺・施瓦辛格希望在耶诞节前解决问题的希望落空。

中广新闻网报道,民主党籍的议长建议施瓦辛格何不签署民主党版的180亿美元删减支出以及增税的提案,共和党强烈抨击这是非法的,它们也则拒绝在民主党版的提案基础上作协商,两党相互指责,施瓦辛格夹在中间,分外无奈。

如果州议会无法在近期内通过追加预算,州政府很多应付款项,恐怕都要被迫延宕,阿诺州长打算透过让州政府职员放无薪假,来减少支出,工会为此向劳工单位告状。

加州高级官员约翰・池昂之前表示,加州目前的财政状况已经非常不妙,所有的资金几乎已经全部用光,很快将不得不推迟支付数十亿美元的应付款项或者债务。约翰・池昂说,由於美国目前正在经历前所未有的金融危机,美国国内的银行业也因此变得极不稳定,这使得加利福尼亚州政府从银行借贷以弥补财政赤字的计划成为泡影。

约翰・池昂说,其实早在12月1日,施瓦辛格就已经正式宣布加州进入财政紧急状态,并要求推出经济刺激方案来解决加州入不敷出的窘境。施瓦辛格本人仍在紧急筹措资金,同时他也在与民主党领导人进行紧急磋商,以便在2010年中期以前弥补420亿美元的资金缺口。

人工微制作上的大自然作品

MFG上Defect一课讲了wafer上的defect,业界人士望石同学秀出他们公司以前Defect的实例图

在一个1微米的线上居然长出来一个小马桶一样的缺陷。这貌似就是大自然和人工对抗的结果。

还有一个高尔夫球状的缺陷

 

转一个学中文的老外的感慨

说一次在他北京,和三个北大的博士生吃饭,突然他问他们,"喷嚏"两个字怎么写.结
果三个人一个人都没写出来, 而且一笔也写不出来. 他然后感叹中文难看来对中国人来
说也是一样的.他说不敢想象三个美国哈佛博士生拼不出 "sneeze".

原文:

I was once at a luncheon with three Ph.D. students in the Chinese Department
at Peking University, all native Chinese (one from Hong Kong). I happened
to have a cold that day, and was trying to write a brief note to a friend
canceling an appointment that day. I found that I couldn't remember how to
write the character 嚔, as in da penti 打喷嚔 "to sneeze". I asked my three
friends how to write the character, and to my surprise, all three of them
simply shrugged in embarrassment. Not one of them could correctly produce
the character. Now, Peking University is usually considered the "Harvard of
China". Can you imagine three Ph.D. students in English at Harvard
forgetting how to write the English word "sneeze"?? Yet this state of
affairs is by no means uncommon in China.

crisis

  
            As the bad news about the global economic crisis keeps rolling in, I thought it might be helpful to the campus community if I detailed a few of the steps that RIT is taking to adapt to current and evolving conditions.  These steps have been discussed with the Trustees, our Vice Presidents and Deans, and the Faculty Senate, Staff Council, and Student Government.  Their input has been very helpful to me as we determine how best to navigate these troubled waters.
 
            First of all, I want to reassure everyone in the RIT family that the state of the institution is strong and the institution is very conservatively managed fiscally.  Enrollment is at an all-time high and applications to RIT from prospective students are ahead of last year at this time.  There is no immediate budgetary crisis to deal with, and we do not at this time anticipate any reductions in staffing other than those that might ordinarily occur through retirements or individuals leaving RIT for positions elsewhere.
 
            Nevertheless, we have not been untouched by the current economic crisis.  The value of our endowment has dropped by more than 20%, and New York State is considering reductions in a number of programs that support RIT students and programs.  Our fundraising efforts will continue unabated, but it is very likely that our ability to secure significant gifts to RIT from alumni and friends may be compromised by the current negative fiscal climate.  As the current recession plays out, more of our current students and their families will face financial challenges as a result of nationwide layoffs and furloughs.  It is also possible that the current economic crisis could affect enrollments in future years, and resulting tuition revenue could be reduced as a result.  For all of these reasons, it is prudent for RIT to take steps to ensure that we can deal with all of these potential challenges.
 
            Our actions have been guided by two fundamental principles.  First, we will work to preserve the quality of our education and research programs across the University.  Second, we will work to protect the RIT family, including students, faculty, and staff.  Every decision we make and every action that we take to address the current economic crisis must take into account these two principles.  To date, we have agreed upon the following steps:
 
1.      RIT will ask its Trustees to approve a modest inflationary tuition increase in the range of 3.5-4.5% for the 2009-2010 academic year.  Any increased revenue resulting from this increase will be used to augment need-based financial aid for our students, to cover a modest enrollment reduction should it occur, and to cover inflationary cost increases in such areas as energy and health insurance for our employees. 
2.      We will not include any salary increases for faculty, staff, or administrators in our budget planning for next year.  Should the RIT fiscal situation turn out to be stronger than we predict, we can always revisit this issue next Fall.
 
3.      I have asked the Vice Presidents to personally approve any faculty and staff hires until further notice to ensure that we keep personnel costs down to the minimum necessary to preserve the quality of our education and research programs.
 
4.      Each Vice President has been asked for a plan to reduce spending in their division for the rest of this year and into next year.
 
5.      The University will continue its current posture of moving forward with only the most strategic capital projects and will delay all others.  Projects intended to address code or safety issues will continue as necessary.
 
6.      Sr. Vice President Watters has been instructed to include a significant contingency fund in next year’s budget to protect the institution from unforeseen fiscal circumstances beyond our control.
 
7.      Because enrollment is so important to our fiscal health, I have asked Sr. Vice President Miller to work with the Deans to plan an aggressive “yield” effort this year to encourage students admitted to RIT to enroll next Fall.
 
Other actions may prove necessary as we navigate through these extraordinary financial challenges, in which case I will continue to inform the entire RIT family of any steps taken.  Working together, I am confident that we can not only survive this difficult period, but continue to move this “category of one” university forward toward our shared goals.  I am very grateful for your support and for your hard work for RIT.

滑雪

第一次滑雪还是比较兴奋的,拍些照片上来。

在缓坡上能很快就学会,一兴奋跟着yusuke和CK就上了山,然后就开始了我的痛苦经历。出发没多久我就摔在了一个刚造好雪很松软的地方,这个地方非常难爬起来,花了大量精力终于起来后发现这种陡坡的速度是我根本无法控制的,于是开始不停的摔倒。我最大的失败就是刚会滑一点的时候就着急上了山。我不会停,不会转弯,不会减速,在坡上跌倒了也不能很熟练的爬起来。于是我就不断地重复着爬起没站起来滑半米又摔倒,然后好不容易站起来了,马上又速度适应不了摔倒。每次摔起来都是四仰八叉,腿以任意姿势扭曲着,特别难受,后来都没力气爬起来了,就干脆那躺着,看看身边呼啸而过的其他人。玩滑雪板的还往往喜欢跳起来在空中做几个动作。我的想法是活着滚到终点,在学不好基本功之前再也不上山了。摔几公里下来,我微微颤颤地走到休息室,发现帽子上面是厚厚一层冰盖,大衣里面那件套头衫的背后因为经常以屁股着地,沾了很多雪以至于冻成冰板,难怪感觉怎么怪怪的。

后来我独自一人在一个小缓坡上练习,总算又找回一点自信。

感受罗城的大雪

今天来了暴风雪。这才感觉到国内碰到的雪灾还真不能算什么。中午的时候还有闲情逸致去看雪,不过下午就觉着非得早点回家,免得被堵在学校里了。
贴几张图。

回家时为了把车挖出来,花了半个多小时。拍了很多视频,可惜摄像机塞老姚书包里了。得过几天雪化了路通了才能把视频放出来。

8.运气够好的话可以借到paper
9.没有paper的话,如果你很有钱也能解决问题

买相机

这个假期花钱无度,最终还是决定要买个相机。在Amazon上浏览了半天SLR愈发觉得钱包比较薄。想到昨晚碰到的2000美元闯荡美国的刘先生,觉得自己在美国貌似过得太幸福了,还是不应该过早开始玩乐,相机整个基本的就行了。依然决定在150元以下的找,像素坚决不要10M的。最后在Dealsea上找到一家Olympus, 129块,5X,8M像素傻瓜机,免税免运费。现在的拍照也就照一个乐,电池够用就O了。

Happy thanksgiving!

很好的体验了一下美国的thanksgiving。大街上所有的商店都关门了。中午去了Herrienta一家美国人家里吃了一顿传统的美国式thanksgiving大餐。主人是RIT的退休老教授,还有他的老婆,及女儿女婿。和中国一样,女婿是大厨。4个中国人,2个棒子和一个日本人参与了这次午餐。享受完美国thanksgiving故事之后,我奉上CCTV版的北京奥运会开幕式,给韩国人看了太极应该怎样打。完了后是apple pie,pumpkin pie的传统点心,吃不完还兜着走,搞了些火鸡,potato mesh什么的回家。
回家不到两分钟就有刘先生来接我们参加一个中国人的晚宴。71年来美,91年来美,01年来美和08年来美的同志们共聚一堂,分享中国美食及各自的经历。这才知道罗城有个全美第二的音乐学院,才知道华人众多国际级的音乐家生活在罗城。聊的很欢,10点半才想到该回家了。
明天的black friday shopping和snow skating不知道会是如何。不出去旅游,在罗城的感恩节挺开心啊。

油价跌破两块了

今天终于等来了油价跌破两块钱的时候。纪念一下。
陪老姚去家小店修车。老板是个墨西哥人,老板娘是香港人。小店主打中国人的生意,从招牌到里面所贴的快餐外卖都是中文字,还强调是国粤双语的。
老板娘已经退休了,生活挺安逸,一个月能拿1200块钱,偶尔无聊了就来店里给老公打个下手。
墨西哥人挺逗,挺俺们都算是学工程师的,一个劲鼓动咱过来练几下,多一些训练,做一个真正的工程师,感情想招两小工呢。
换了机油和变速器油,100块。美国修车的动静就是大,这个还是几乎不算人工的。想当年我把一辆普桑开在半路上启动不了了,老爸喊了个熟悉的修车工过来修,整个好久,10块钱人民币就好了,当然那也是人熟悉不宰客。

Black Friday 之前

Thanksgiving break

Thanksgiving不是中国人的节日,我的老板是个传统中国人,所以thanksgiving不是我们的节日。像老板说过想去波士顿或哪里玩一下,老板同意了,但是真的可以去玩的时候还是有些踌躇。都说有个black friday,需要买一张King size的大床,需要在大打折的时候买照相机,趁机买个GPS,还有一些衣服,要买的东西好多,假期支出怕是不小。钱还是省下来等老婆来啦。假期还是天天去学校干活。
上周去University of Rochester打羽毛球的时候感受了一下图书馆的气氛,在物理系光学中心看到传说中Wolf的名字,原来牛人待得离我们很近。UR的超级激光器也令人激动。 秋天黄叶满地的景色很有感觉,有空的时候去那里拍几个照片就当作是这个假期的旅行了,可惜这周大雪让秋景变成了雪原。
圣诞节去纽约,这个是一定的。
