Mass, energy and momentum at cms i2 u2Tom Loughran
The document discusses mass, energy, and momentum at the CMS detector at the LHC. It explains that:
1) At high energies, energy and momentum are practically equivalent according to the equation E2 = p2 + m2, where mass terms become negligible. This allows energy to be calculated from momentum measurements.
2) The mass of a parent particle that decays can be determined by subtracting the momentum term p2 from the total energy term E2 of its decay products, giving m2.
3) At the LHC, initial energies and momenta of collisions are not precisely known, so conservation cannot be used directly, but transverse momentum is assumed to be zero initially and its conservation is used.

Sessions at an upcoming forum will focus on sharing models like BioEYES, addressing new state science standards, exploring university involvement in K-12, and using online tools to collaborate more efficiently. The goal is to establish a research-centric, computationally literate, collaborative community that invites broad participation in advancing STEM.

Tourism Investment Opportunities in Northern UgandaTom Loughran
From the forward:
The departure of the Lord’s Resistance Army has breathed new life into northern Uganda. The region is enjoying more visitors and its reputation as a “no go” area is being gradually reversed. Improved security is allowing the rapid development of the region and generating increasing interest from businesses and tourists alike.
With this in mind, the Wildlife Conservation Society and the Uganda Tourism Association have undertaken a study, with support from USAID through the WILD programme, to gauge the potential of tourism in northern Uganda and to promote its development and expansion. The study focused on untapped or underutilized attractions in Nebbi, Arua, Moyo and Adjumani Districts in the West Nile sub-region; Amuru, Gulu, Lamwo, Kitgum and Pader Districts in the central part of the Northern Region and Kaabong District in Karamoja. Murchison Falls National Park was not included in this study in light of its already well-developed tourism infrastructure.
This publication is the result of that study and its purpose is to introduce prospective investors to the variety of natural, cultural and historical attractions in the region that can be drawn on for tourism. It also is intended to support the Ugandan government’s plans to diversify tourism products within the country – particularly along the Nile. It is our hope that it will inspire responsible private and government investment that will bring economic benefits to the local communities as well as protect and preserve the area’s varied and unique resources.
The Wildlife Conservation Society is thankful to Charles Abola and Jim Ayorekire of Image Consult for carrying out this study. We also acknowledge the valuable contributions of the Uganda Wildlife Authority, the National Forestry Authority, Uganda Museums, the Ministry of Trade, Tourism and Industry, the Ugandan Tourist Board and relevant district officials to this study, in addition to the development of Uganda’s tourism industry as a whole. We also appreciate the valuable input from private sector companies, who have shown genuine interest in the opportunities provided by northern Uganda.
A final word of thanks goes to USAID for its generous support to conservation and tourism in Uganda in general and the WILD programme in particular. It is USAID’s assistance that supported the study and allowed this brochure to be developed and printed.
Northern Uganda is open for business and tourists!

This is the program for our Collaborating for Education and Research Forum, our 7th annual, held in the Jordan Hall of Science on the campus of the University of Notre Dame on March 1, 2014 from 8:30 AM until 2:00 PM.
Dr. Klaus Mainzer public presentation at Notre Dame: "CNN Philosophy: From C...Tom Loughran
Cellular Nonlinear/Neural Network (CNN) technology is both a revolutionary concept and an experimentally proven new computing paradigm. It lays the groundwork for a new approach to information processing that is based on brain-inspired spatial-temporal behavior in large-scale, cellular arrays of nanoeletronic processing elements. Prof. and Dr. Klaus Mainzer will explore CNN philosophy’s links with deep problems of epistemology and broach the ways that bio-inspired computing leads to questions of societal acceptance and ethical benchmarks.
Prof. Dr. Klaus Mainzer is a philosopher of science and director of the Center for Technology and Society at the University of Technology, Munich. He studies the foundations and future perspectives of science and technology focusing on mathematical treatment and computer modeling as well as complex systems in the natural world, science, business, and society. His research areas include self-organization, chaos theory, artificial intelligence, and artificial life.
Mainzer is a participant in NDnano’s NSF-EAGER grant, “Computer Architectures for 2020 and Beyond.”
Spotlighting South Bend - December 20, 2013Tom Loughran
From the event organizer:
Dear Friend,
You are invited on Friday, December 20, 2013 to spend a day honoring the innovation that has built and is still growing South Bend.
As a community, we honor our past that relentlessly pursued the innovative spirit that built our community and embodied the name Studebaker. Fifty years ago on December 20th the lights turned off on the last Studebaker facility. However, the hard work and craftsmanship that thrived in those plants live on.
From 10:00 am to 4:30 pm, Union Station Technology Center is opening Ivy Tower (Building 84) for guided tours. The Studebaker Driver’s Club will offer special tours, with Studebaker retiree guides starting at 2:30 pm. The Studebaker Administration Building will also be available for tours from 12:00 pm to 4:30 pm. All tours will start from 635 S. Lafayette Street in South Bend. With the existing development plans, this could be one of the last times that the facility will be open for tours in its original state.
At 5:00 pm in Union Station’s grand hall, we will host an event to spotlight South Bend’s innovation. Specifically, the program will honor former Studebaker retirees, highlight current innovation in our community and point to innovation of the future.
Shortly after 6:00 pm, please join us outside Union Station, near Coveleski Stadium and throughout downtown to see our City spotlighted, demonstrating that the light of innovation that sparked our community remains on and bright today.
You are also encouraged to visit the Studebaker National Museum (free admission that day), the South Bend Museum of Art, and other downtown South Bend activities. All of the events are showcased in the attached flyer.
Please join us in spotlighting South Bend on this important day in our City’s history.

I HAVE SEEN THE HUMILATION OF MY PEOPLE AND HEAR THEIR CRY (EX 3:7)
Lack of Bridge to link the villages
Email:pabosaveorphans@gmail.com
JANUARY 2010
2. EXECTIVE SUMMARY.
The year 2009 has been the moment that Pastora activities were centered due to
the lack of the finance to help in the facilitation of the programs activities.
Despite of this constraints the association managed to carried out many of
outstanding activities to it ability.
Noting that during the war there has been a lot of suffering and distress.
This was not only to case of Pabo people but the whole Acholi sub region. As
written, in the bible “I have seen the humiliation of my people and hear their cry”
(Exodus 3:7) Even in Israeli when they were in Egypt there was a lot of suffering and
later God heard their cry, they moved out to a promised land were there were no
more suffering. From this quotation during the war we know there has been a lot of
suffering at all corners such as living in the camps, Lack of food, inability for the
people to support their family education, poor health services etc.
And we are also contended that we are going to reach the peace full moment
were we shall be more self reliant and able to support others locally here as we aim
to see empowered community. This can not be done unless you also hear our cry
to support our program.
We are able to produce this activities report because some of organizations have
been our partners who remained in support to us during the implementation of the
activities that we are giving out in this report for the period January to December
2009. We are also grateful to the community for the cooperation with us in the
implementation of all the activities.
The following organization we appreciate them very much for the financial support
given to us namely Gulu district NGO Forum, Care International Gulu program.
We also thank BOSCO-UGANDA notably for the connection of internet in Pabo
that made PASTORA to reach out across the world.
I would like to thank parish priest of Pabo catholic parish, our organization
member’s and friends for support rendered to us in one way or another.

all the sub counties of Gulu and Amuru district were collected in the central point in Gulu district
Ngo forum for the dissemination to the district local leader and
the administrative officers. In 2009 PASTORA together with

to value being experienced as the out come of this monitoring
the Association is always in closed collaboration with the sub
county administrative staffs.
However the monitoring of the water point in Pogo parish
caused the attention much as the district allocated the water but process was delayed and the
communication was not given back to the community. In same context Association do carry out the
community visit as to know events that take place among them.

enhance their potential.
