Rui Li

   Previous two weeks (Sep 4-Sep 15)
     - ADMIN: take care matters in thesis award committee (may delay
       Cheng-Ying's nomination to next year to avoid conflict)
     - ADMIN: listen to talks at the AAC

       simulation of the magnetized beam transport---possible signal
       to noise problem

       coupled-bunch instability---the Rs and Q are orders of
       magnitude bigger than those found in accelerating cavities,
       suggested him to check similar data from existing crab cavities
       to see whether others have better HOM damping
