  • Ruminations – 15may2011 (updated 16may2011)

  • Our Students Need You

    George Rebane [This is the submitted form of my May column in the 14may11 Union (here).] The classroom format of teaching requires that students are in a more or less tight group as far as progress and learning ability are concerned.  The larger the class, the less chance the teacher has to bring along the…

  • Reliable as clockwork (updated)

    George Rebane   After a brief snowfall, power went out at 1645.  What else would you expect?  I was the first one to call PG&E, and the lady on the other end with a straight face told me that power would be restored at 1930 “subject to change”.  Right.  Happy weekend. [update]  As I have informed you…
