Greetings all,
--------------------
1. Colloquium Today!
2. A Dire Warning!
--------------------
1. There is a colloquium today, Thursday September 10, 2009, featuring Dr. Peter
Schiffer, of Penn State University, at 4:00pm in Phys 203, hosted by our very
own Dr. Ian P. Shipsey, about "Fun in the Sand: Some experiments in granular
physics".
2. In case you ever find yourself alone in the SPS lounge (room 236, the cool
place) and decide to leave, be aware of the following: before you do so, please
close the cashbox, and reset the dial to all zeros; please place the cashbox in
the cupboard directly below it; please leave the computer running, but close out
all of the programs (or at least don't leave it blaring Pandora into the wee
hours of the morning); and please turn off the lights before closing the door.
Failure to comply will result in your being fed to our herd of rabid badgers.
Consider yourselves direly warned.
Have a great today and tomorrow,
