White men bad; white dogs worse

White men bad; white dogs worse 04/05/2005 09:24 AM

We spent the weekend in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania with an anthropologist friend who has two 3-year-old bitches (Lab and Husky) and 4 acres of land on which Alex and Sammy could play with them.  One of the nice things about colleges located in areas where real estate is cheap is that the professors live close to the campus and are available to students for informal dinners and shared extracurricular activities.  Thus over the weekend we encountered a few other Gettysburg College professors.  I asked one of them whether faculty could bring their dogs to work.  She replied "The college's Affirmative Action lawyer, before she left, made up a lot of new rules.  One of them was that junior and senior faculty could not sleep together.  Another was to ban dogs in the buildings."

This is a good measure of how desperate PhDs are for jobs as college professors.  The college pays lower salaries, to people of the same age, as the public high school down the street.  The high school teachers were able to go to work at age 22 without suffering through a long period of starvation wages as graduate assistants.  The high school teachers are union members who ever have to worry about losing their job, compared to the college professors who live for 7 years in fear of being tossed out as a middle-aged has-been ("denied tenure" is the polite term for this event).  And now these poor souls are expected to get through their day without a dog at their side and without the possibility of an interlude with a more senior professor.

[Note to parents:  if you want to know why tuition prices have risen so fast, consider that a very small liberal arts school was paying a full-time lawyer to work on affirmative action; Walmart has a "Chief Diversity Officer" but they had $billions in revenue over which to spread the cost.]

http://www.repcheck.com/

Los Angeles-based RepCheck™ is the most comprehensive source of information regarding the opportunities and risks of interacting with any individual…..anywhere. Established in February 2000 RepCheck employs an interactive and searchable database of reputation files - RepReports™ - which allows the public to post and view information regarding the personal reputations of themselves and others. Those postings are then transformed, via a rating scheme that weighs the credibility of the source, into a numeric indicator of overall reputation - RepScore™.

The system, initially conceived out of the founder's frustration at not being able to quickly access information regarding the reputations of individuals in his business and personal life, features a patented technology designed to mimic the actual process that most people go through in the formation of opinions and value judgments. Opinions of those on your "Trustee List" - those people whose opinions are most meaningful to you - are more heavily weighted in the final RepScore calculation. Additionally, RepScore factors in all other scorers' credibility, based on their RepScore and their history of postings to the RepReports of other individuals.

Lieberman on trade

Lieberman on trade 01/07/2004 02:40 PM
So I've taped but not yet watched the Democrats' debate yesterday, but thanks to Jim Garrison for pointing me to this exchange. According to this Washington Post transcript, Lieberman had this to say about trade:

I think we've got to reject the extremism of George Bush and the extremism of Democrats who would put back walls of protectionism. And what's the extremism of George Bush? He just sits back and lets foreign countries break the rules of trade, rip off patents, copyrights, take American jobs, play with the currency.

Now I too am one of those rare free-trade Democrats, and one of those not so rare critics of the President. But letting "foreign countries" "rip off patents, copyrights" is not one of things one might criticize this President for. The USTR has been brutal in forcing nation after nation into more stringent bilateral agreements with the US to strengthen the protection of IP. There is, of course, something that you could criticize the President for -- farm subsidies -- though not if you're running for President in Iowa (General Clark?). Here again, Lieberman was the only one to mention subsidies. His words: "So yes to subsidies as they are now, and yes to trade."

Tricks of the Trade

Tricks of the Trade 08/27/2004 01:33 PM

The Morning News has a fun article on "tricks of the trade": documenting little tricks used in various professions. Great stuff.

This year, for instance, a programmer can always tack the phrase "and I'm thinking of incorporating some XML functionality"� onto a project summary to explain why he'll need an extra week, account for a missed deadline, or impress a superior. In this respect, the gap between software engineers and birthday clowns is almost negligible.

Patients will occasionally pretend to be unconscious. A surefire way to find them out is to pick up their hand, hold it above their face, and let go. If they smack themselves, they�re most likely unconscious; if not, they�re faking.
