        Ausman, you enjoying fresh meat?
        \_ I am married these days dude, why do you ask me? Plus, I never
           have had to pay money to get young cuties to date me. -ausman
        \_ Most of the Sugar Babies on the site are not that hot.
           \_ it's Berkeley. Beggars can't be choosers.
        \_ I got myself a "test" account and started looking around. Some
           of this is pretty funny: a (well preserved) 53 year old woman
           who wanted $20k a month. There were a few cute college girls
           in the first 20 screens, but almost all of them were in The
           South. I did not see even one Berkeley girl.

        Berkeley, you're STUPID!

6/26    Berkeley is climbing up in ranking, YAY!
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_Ranking_of_World_Universities
        \_ According to this ASP page, we're #5!
           http://www.webometrics.info/top12000.asp
           \_ I don't care if we don't make it to the top 3 or top 10 or
              whatever.  But being ranked behind Stanfraud?  What an insult!

8/3     Berkeley now ranks 70, while UCLA ranks 50. Williams College
        is #1.

        \_ Forbes hates public education. A less ideologically biased ranking
           has Berkeley at 22 (which is still a fall from the golden years):

        \_ What's the back story?
           \_ Search on the daily cal.  Apparently the guy is accused of
              attacking some pro-palestinian students, he being pro-Israel.
              The charges were dropped by the DA though, so from my cursory
              reading it wasn't clear if he actually did anything. -!op
