"The regents' committee also voted to raise fees for 44 professional-degree programs, including a 65 percent hike for UC Berkeley public-health graduate students and a 22 percent increase for Berkeley law students. The action brought howls from students who said they did not understand how the extra money will be spent."

Why is UC Berkeley including a 65% fee hike for public health and a $4,000 increase for social welfare programs?  These graduates traditionally accept lower paying jobs ($40-50K) to serve the community; they cannot, and should not, bear this undue burden.

Hike up the fees for those spoiled Haas Business School brats! They'll be making plenty. :-p

How difficult writing is; when you know your future depends on it!  How impossible it is to write a word; when the pages are limited and time is scarce!

geeking out about the solar neutrino problem... (the number of neutrinos flowing from the sun to the earth is 1/2 to 2/3 less than predicted in solar models..)
and neutrino oscillations...(electron neutrinos oscillating into muon or tau neutrinos...)
