Кстати, Алексей, хотелось бы по-подробней услышать о вашем понимании..So that private companies can send low-tech jobs overseas to cut their spending:-O:-O:-O

Did you set up a private fund to help your country to better educate its children?

Of course Idid. The way I see it is that by taking care of my son's education I am helping to produce a valuable member of society. If every one did that, we would have a lot less need for government handouts.

Would you rather I le tthe government worry about my son, while i paid taxes for bunch of government programs?

Gera, I care about my kids too. And I also pay for their education directly. So there is no difference between us here.
But I also see other parents' kids. Every day. In my class and in the classes of my colleagues. And I see that some of them don't care. Some of them don't care because their parents pay for their education.
And I also see other kids. Those whose parents work, but cannot pay for their education. But the kids care, they want their education -- and they work themselves -- so government help them too.
And those kids make my day. I am happy to work overtime -- and without pay -- for those kids. And I do.
And here is the difference between us -- you simply don't care.

Наверное, это помагает в защите диссертации очередной
Irina, no. Sometimes it helps to stop being cynical.
Here is the abstract of the grant: ***********.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward.do?AwardNumber=0851678

А вы на практике знаете, почему люди становятся экспатами или только в теории?
Please elaborate what you mean by that.

Alex,
Because people like you care too much for the good of all... we are in this deep sheet depression... We do not need the government as well as academia to tell us what to do and what to care about.
The private company makes money on every dollar. If they do not - they are out of business! The government wastes money, because if they do not get any return, they print more or borrow from communist China.
Shame on them for doing a hole bunch of unconstitutional activities and on you for supporting such stupid policies...

Чтобы делать подобные заявления, насколько я понимаю, нужно владеть или по крайней мере иметь знания в этом вопросе!
вся остальное, извините теория...как она у вас называется, кстати?
Поэтому я и уточнила, и переспросила, что именно вы имеете ввиду?!

Irina, no. Sometimes it helps to stop being cynical.
Here is the abstract of the grant:
Прошу прощения, по ссылкам я не хожу! Если у бас нет времени пояснить свою позицию "без лозунгов", я понимаю и затем откланиваюсь! Теорий и у меня полно всяких и разных! Ещё раз, прошу прощение за беспокойство.

Gera, I don't tell you what to do. I do it myself. You don't. So what?
But I did pay for your company to stay afloat -- and thus for you to keep your job. And I didn't mind -- although, frankly, if I had to choose among the three I'd prefer a company from Dearborn.

[cont] The course introduces the students to the physical, mathematical andcomputational concepts relevant for the summer experience. It includesa computer training homework and an ethics component. The PI and Co-PIplan/organize the students travel to FNAL and SLAC. The participantsmerge with other existing REU programs at each site for socialactivities and lectures on various scientific topics. Students arementored by PhD researchers working on leading edge physics topicsand/or technologies chosen for good mentorship qualities as well astheir leadership in their respective scientific fields. Students arerequired to submit a report in the form of a paper at the end of theirexperience and deliver oral presentations. This program will motivatethe students to take interest in fundamental physics and attract themto careers in science and engineering.
