	+ * Thanks for the information -- I hadn't realized that California was different from most other states in that respect. I still think that servers in general work hard and don't get paid much, though. (And I have found the servers at Thai Nakorn in particular to be very friendly and accommodating). And I definitely don't see any reason why we should be suggesting that they be given less of a tip. Because the restaurant had the audacity to offer a coupon that is only for a small amount? That makes no sense. --["Users/CovertProfessor"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-11-19 17:19:12'' [[nbsp]] It's a common misconception that servers get paid less than the normal minimum wage. This is wrong. In California, the minimum wage is $8 with certain exemptions for apprentices and certain kinds of agricultural workers. Restaurant workers '''are not''' exempted. Additionally, a restaurant cannot use tips to go towards this minimum wage. --["Users/WilliamLewis"]

William pointed out to me that one reason for having service is that without it the acronym would be the same as for Internet Protocol which would be very confusing. Anyway, I'm definitely willing to go either way. --["Users/NickSchmalenberger"]

I think it has more to do with the visibility of the student body within the city, but that's a gut feeling without any significant thought on the subject.

	+ ------ + ''2009-11-02 09:00:22'' [[nbsp]] It (surprisingly to me) really upset somebody whom I respect. They objected to the comment referring to Davis as a small town, which in my mind is a poetic/cultural outlook description more than strict numbers, but to them meant "dinky" or small in numbers. The point was more about the location and proximal options than Davis itself. It was a minor addition, one I didn't really see it as worth debating, so I removed it. As a side point, it occurred to me that if a sizable university is in any location other than a major metropolis, the surrounding city is always a "University town", not a "University city". Something makes just about any municipality with a heavily influential student population a "town" rather than "city". It's probably similar to boat versus ship or house versus estate -- more than just size dictates the appropriate term. --["Users/JabberWokky"]

Since then, it's been talked about and mentioned a lot. Home fireplaces are big, big particle polluters. I'm a bit surprised that much of the Davis that touts it's environmental activism and love for eco-friendly bicycle culture among other things (which come up any single time someone wants to build houses) are yet still very keen on wood-burning and wave off some of the extremely well known detrimental affects. --["Users/EdWins"]

Conversion of plants to gases in an unfiltered fire is a good way to contribute heavily to global warming, along with acid rain and smog. The emissions are also potentially very bad for anyone with breathing problems. If you are taking an action that potentially harms others, then the burden is on you to mitigate it, since other people can't. It's no different than if you were blasting your stereo in the middle of the night and waking up your neighbors. While you may benefit from it in musical enjoyment, your neighbors are negatively impacted by it, and you are in a position to prevent them from being impacted at all. + + The camera thing is scary for a different reason. Covert is right. Once the video is out there, it's out there for everyone. While I really don't think that there's likely to be an issue for someone knowing that someone else bought a chocolate frozen yogurt at Yoloberry (mmm...Yoloberry...), we do have a great example (the UK) of a country where small adjustments to the level of surveillance let to it being essentially impossible for anyone to do anything in the UK without being captured on video. See this recent article in the NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/25/world/europe/25surveillance.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=uk%20%20camera%20family%20-balloon&st=cse --["Users/IDoNotExist"]

	+ * Agreed. There's no need for rigid homogeneity in the wiki. Having a ["Covert Professor's Picks"] would probably be fun, and anybody who wanted to could create their own "Picks" page... once there were enough, they could be crosslinked as a "best of Davis by critic" type entry named ["Picks"]. It would move a bit toward busting up the monotony of "phone number, dry description, too many reviews" that constitutes so much of the wiki these days, add some personality back, and might even prompt some editors to realize they are empowered to build out the wiki beyond what we've already got. -jw

Does it affect university hiring? Or does the money mainly come from grants from outside the state budget? --["Users/IDoNotExist"] - * 1) Yes 2) Yes 3) No one has any money. Tough times are everywhere, oh one who is there but not there. :-( --["Users/CovertProfessor"] - * It's not just California and it's not just recent. [http://www.the-scientist.com/2008/5/1/32/1/ Good, easy read] from the Scientist. I don't know about Dr. Professor here, but my focus has always been in the biosciences, and I worked at a biotech company in the bay area for a while before doing my PhD work. From the article, regarding NIH grants. ''In 1999, scientists submitted 8,957 applications for R01 grants classified as type 1, or new submissions (these figures include only original applications, not resubmissions). The agency awarded 1,761 applications, for a success rate of 19.7%. By 2005, the number of applications rose to 10,605, and only 970 were approved. That means only 9.1% were successful, and 9,635 were rejected - more than the total number of submissions only six years earlier. For type 2 grant applications, which request to continue an already-awarded R01 grant, the numbers tell the same story. In 1999, 3,214 funded scientists requested renewals; 1,772 received them, for a success rate of more than 55%. By 2005, 3,896 needed renewals of their grants, but only 1,262 requests were awarded; the success rate had fallen below 33%. So among nearly 4,000 scientists who were working off NIH funds in 2005, more than 2,600 lost that support. In 2007, more than 4,100 scientists were denied renewals of their R01s. '' It's been a slow squeeze on many research labs over the last half a dozen years. Earlier, the article mentions it, talking about how President Clinton promised - and followed through to double NIH funding in the late 90's, and then how once the war took over in 2003 the budget basically barely increased. It's interesting stuff - there's a whole lot of articles ranging from science mags to things like the Economist addressing this kind of stuff on the national level. -["Users/Edwins" ES] - ------ - ''2009-01-31 11:51:17'' [[nbsp]] The funding of basic scientific research was not a priority for the Bush administration. (Read: The de-funding of basic scientific research was a priority for the Bush administration.) Hopefully, we will see substantial increases in research funding now. --["Users/IDoNotExist"] - * Yes, I was happy to hear that Obama was planning to "restore science to its rightful place." I know he's got a lot of things on his plate, but hopefully we'll see evidence of that -- I think we've seen some good signs already. --["Users/CovertProfessor"] - * And here's the evidence - I just got an email from the university saying that "The Committee on Research has recently been advised that an increase in research funds to NSF, NIH, DOE, and other federal agencies is very likely to become available in the near future." --["Users/CovertProfessor"] - * Yeah, a lot of these things we've known since even before campaign and are hoping he can follow through on. For example, Obama and McCain [http://sharp.sefora.org/innovation2008/compare/race/president/2008/ answered questions] from Scientists and Engineers for America back in September. I believe Obama promised to double federal funding for basic science research over 10 years. And possibly among my favorite answers (as I'd rather not wait til I'm 40 to get my first NIH grant [the average age]): "increase research grants for early-career researchers to keep young scientists entering these fields." And of course, things he's said and mentioned elsewhere, it's looking like things might look up a bit.

I'm procrastinating between choosing between two labs; I think getting my PhD in one will be better if I want to continue an academic career and eventually become faculty myself, and the other lab will be much better if I want to jump into the industry and leave academia behind. Both labs would have a great mentor, they're just connected and focused in very different areas. And I'm concerned the track to tenure may be too difficult/involved. With a family, can't readily move to who knows where for a post-doc and then move again to a new university. --["Users/EdWins"] - * Yes, I am in a tenure-track position, and no, it didn't take me long (a year, basically). But I was lucky. I think jumping around from postdoc to postdoc or from temporary position to temporary position is the far more common experience. So, you have to weigh your priorities -- what you want for your family and what you want from your career. --["Users/CovertProfessor"] - * Congratulations! It's a difficult decision indeed, to try to plan so (relatively) far down the line. My significant other is a counselor and will be a therapist by the time I'm done, and one large difficulty lays in that she'll be state licensed (and in her field, it's difficult to re-license in another state). Being restricted to California thoroughly reduces the potential post-doc positions, much less faculty appointments of the caliber I'd want.

Might I humbly propose some entry similar to Dental Questions, something along the lines of Academia Questions (as opposed to Academic Questions, i.e., this would have to do with the actual process of being in and rising into the world of formal academia, teaching, research, grants, application, etc). Basically, the process from undergrads looking to get into a PhD program on up (which overlaps a bit with those looking to get a doctorate to pursue industry careers, but that probably makes sense, as I know people who thought they were bound for a industry job who fell into positions in university research groups). The focus would be on UCD of course, for people passing through UCD as they obtain degrees or questions about UCD within the context of people seeking post-doc and higher positions at UCD. --["Users/JabberWokky"]

	+ * Right -- read what I wrote above more carefully: "students ''not'' living in dorms won't be excluded from the census." As EdWins noted, there are only about 5K students living in dorms. And yes, the ~30K number includes graduate students (don't they count too??) but I doubt it includes postdocs, since postdocs are not students. --["Users/CovertProfessor"]

Those census figures would go to yolo county, it's just like the trailer park over near research parkway, not in Davis, even though it clearly is. Same thing with el macero. It's not about them being students, it's about them not being in Davis. On a different note, 30k includes undergrad and all post grad students or just undergrads alone? --["Users/StevenDaubert"]

Over time, if you are good and don't get reverted, your penalty gets reduced. If you start a revert war and get reverted by gnomes frequently, you'll automagically lose your editing ability for quite some time, and the revert war will die almost immediately. --["Users/IDoNotExist"]

Restraining orders, injunctions, lawyers, money—none of that will stop him from coming after me and defaming me online like on this blog. This person sends threatening emails and talks about how he rapes and sodomizes his own children and dog. He talks about me being dead and him dying too. His email is molestor@rape.com. I don't understand why someone would say that they rape their own children. The person has paid me over $50,000 in settlements and court sanctions. He has spent over $50,000 in legal fees as well. Still, he won't keep posting stupid things about me online. He doesn't care about the police and laughs about them. The rape theme has really intensified in the last month especially. He made a video about me and put it on YouTube and posted that I ". . .deserved to get raped as a child and enjoyed it." This person harasses my employees and I am embarrassed when my assistant sees emails calling her a "cunt," etc. I think he crossed the line this time with the talk about raping his own children though. I was told the only way to get rid of a person like him is to ignore them no matter what. Restraining orders and lawsuits are like marriage licences to psychos. Then they really feel like they have a commonality and a lasting, durable bond. It has been really hard to ignore these dozens and dozens of emails and messages. One of his last ones says he sodomizes the family Golden Retriever until it "bleeds from its asshole." See, you need to get these emails from me and get someone to help his children. Someone that says that he rapes his dog and his children with impunity needs to be stopped. I don't care about your idle uninformed threats; this guy who says he rapes his children and dog says he's going to kill me. Nothing you could do to me comes close to what this person has done to me. Hundreds of vulgar, obscene emails and a systematic terror campaign over five years. I'm not making any of this up and have everything documented and recordings of him saying to my employee she "deserved to get raped and fucking molested" as a child. Now he says writes he rapes his kids to try and hurt me. Friday, a Placer County Sheriff Deputy was sitting in front of my desk and an email came in saying that going to the police is not a good idea. I think it is a wonderful one. I signed a citizen's arrest and maybe his children will get help now. If you want to help, you need to a) contact me and I'll forward you the emails of him saying he rapes his children, and b) contact the Placer County District Attorney's office and anyone else you can think of to try and get this person locked up and his children away safe. Call me if you would like to hear the recording. The person is Kevin Salem aka Kawian Salim, 5908 Asbury Court, Sacramento, Ca His telephone is (916) 485-3647 and the name of his business is All Breeds Dog Training aka Real-Life Dog Training and aka All About Dog Training and Behavior Corporation. The website is www.DogSecrets.com. Please email from the contact page on www.Superdog.com. I can be reached by telephone and have the recordings available at the Sacramento number.
