it's the national syncrotron radiation research center in taiwan...it's basically a particle accelerator, similar to the one at Stanford and Berkeley,where they accelerate electrons or w/e and have different syncrotron beams or something like that. supposedly i'm supposed to be doing something regardingseeing the effects of changing the temperature of a RF vessel (which helps add energy to compensate for energy los from the beam deflections) from 4K to 2Kbecause at 2K it becomes a superconducting vessel or some %++@ like that, it's sorta hard to explain but i'm just supposed to research the effects ofthis temperature change.
where do u work, and what's your research about?

I work for CalPERS's (California Public Employees' Retirement System) asset allocation division. This division focuses on maximizing returns of aportfolio by finding the perfect diversification plan between stocks, bonds, cash, and other investments. Right now, my supervisor and I are working on findinga good benchmark index to maintain are long-term plans for fixed-income investments. Once we figure that out, we're going to have to do a bunch ofpresentations and hopefully the board approves. I think we might be starting a new project next week on private and public equity allocations.
A complete 180 from what you're researching...

CalPers got the $+# beat out of them...I forget how many bad investments I read they had...didn't they have some undeveloped land in Arizona too? Maybe adifferent pension.
I audit a investor partnership who in return invests (on of their clients is a different state retirement) in other partnerships who are a part of abuyout...pretty cool.

Sadly, I don't keep up with CalPERS history. I don't see myself going down this path in the long-run, but I feel like it's going to bea good experience. Maybe by the end of this internship I might feel differently.

It is nothing short of tragic that the team associated with some of the most iconic designs in NBA history has spent the past two decades saddled with a series of utterly characterless uniforms. Their current look is a total snooze, their logo looks like it was cribbed from a bad comic book, and the lightning bolt motif should be reserved for the teams like the Chargers and Lightning. Also, if you're going to name your team Golden State, you really ought to stick to California's official state colors, which are blue and gold. So what's with all the orange? Back to the drawing board, pronto. S.U.C.K.itude: 33 out of 40.
