It does seem like there is a portion of the student body that does not engage a whole lot in their education, maybe they are not paying for it. There are overcrowded classrooms, and some of the facilities are quite old. However, out of the twenty or so professors I've had there so far, I personally have been disappointed with maybe two. All of the others have been really engaging and I've gotten quite a bit out of my classes. Although the tuition may be lower in California than in other states, there are a number of students who were not prepared for the increases, especially within a short frame of time, and are now struggling to find the extra money to pay.

(Again, when someone clicks on it they would be taken to a mission statement, history, etc.) Jenn Walker 2009-10-01T17:11:40Z Jenn Walker comment-14781 2009-10-01T16:41:58Z 2009-10-01T16:41:58Z A pop-up that appears the first time someone comes to The Sacramento Press briefly explaining how the site works seems like a good option. It would provide clarity for everyone planning to use the site as a resource or for writing purposes. Everyone will have a clear understanding of how the site works and then make choices about how to use it while being fully aware of the repercussions. Without the pop-up, it doesn't seem like everyone takes the time to read up on what the site is really about, and misunderstandings are the result. At the bottom of the pop-up there should be a link that a visitor can click to read in more detail about the purpose of Sac Press, its staff, its history, etc. Jenn Walker 2009-10-01T16:41:58Z Jenn Walker comment-14744 2009-10-01T04:46:17Z 2009-10-01T04:46:17Z Putting the Arena discussion aside for a moment, what did Mayor Johnson have to say about education and public safety?

The council approved $5.7 million in subsidies for the project, so it must have been with the the intention that the it was desperately needed for a good cause, right? I'm wondering what type of crowd these properties will appeal the most to -- "A giant aquarium inhabited by live, human mermaids." My initial thoughts were, will it bring in one type of crowd and push other crowds out? Is that a good or bad thing, etc. I'm interested in hearing what the community has to say.

(Then again, I haven't gotten to spend as much time on Broadway.) How long has the the Broadway Partnership been around? I know Midtown businesses do a great job of planning sidewalk sales and other regional events together that attract customers to the area.

Majority leader Bill Frist in 2004, it stated originally citing 1,049 federal statutory provisions that exclude unmarried couples in a 1997 report; in 2003 they updated that figure to 1,138. http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d04353r.pdf I am not sure which figures have precedence--I don't know what Lambda's Legal analysis is based on or how recent it is. Really any of these figures are significant.

"1,400 basic rights that are automatically afforded married couples that are specifically omitted from domestic partnerships" that bbbbmer is referring to, from what I understand, are limitations created by the 1996 federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). DOMA defines marriage as between man & woman only, impacting more than 1,138 federal laws and programs in which marital status is a factor as of 2003 (This figure is cited by the U.S. Gen. Accountability Office). Something no one has mentioned yet is how Prop. 8 affects a marriage involving an intersex person(someone who can physically identify with both sexes). In California domestic partnerships are limited only to same-sex couples or couples over the age of 62, and as of yesterday marriage can still only be between a man and a woman in the state.

From what I observed this event was well-organized and provided the community with a safe and truly positive environment to enjoy art and network.

In "City predicts $30 million deficit for 2010/2011," you mentioned that the city felt the budget adequately addresses the $50 million deficit--is selling Cal Expo + state properties actually written into the proposed budget or is it being explored as a possibility? Jenn Walker 2009-05-20T18:37:39Z Jenn Walker comment-7936 2009-05-20T18:22:11Z 2009-05-20T18:22:11Z $30 million deficit is pretty discouraging. I'm interested to learn how this deficit is going to be handled.

He was a Japanese translator for the U.S. military while his family was placed in a concentration camp, and the people he interrogated (the Japanese) would accuse him of being a traitor toward his heritage.

Where did you get David Shore's quote from? It's interesting that they thought the building would clean up downtown.

I'm not sure if I'm out of the loop or if this was under-promoted. Holding accessible forums like this on a regular basis could be very beneficial to the community and catalyze preventative care, something that is vital given the number of people lacking adequate health coverage right now.

What do you intend to advocate for on behalf of the community and local interests?

(They offer summer white water rafting programs with an emphasis on river appreciation and conservation.)

On the other hand, as Savemidtown pointed out, who will be in charge of examining public input and how seriously will it be taken? Will it be inundated with less useful information than if people came and represented their opinions passionately and directly to their city council? Will there be efforts to still make city council meetings accessible to those who want to represent their views in person?

By the way, was the incident that you described in the first paragraph a scenario or an actual occurrence with the Sacramento Police Department as well?

Jenn Walker 2009-05-01T18:45:37Z Jenn Walker comment-7010 2009-05-01T18:21:11Z 2009-05-01T18:21:11Z The fact that each individual must raise $3,000 is extremely impressive. How much time are participants given to collect the funding--until the day before the race? I wonder how many participants there are in the race total; it sounds like it will add up to a significant amount of money. I also wonder how the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center will use all of the funding that they receive, or if there is transparency on how they plan to spend it.

So far they've seemed informative without sensationalizing the "outbreak".

Perhaps rehab access would be most helpful to this situation?
