Students and professors are feeling the crunch. I have gone to office hours with professors and you can just see the strain in their faces. They want to help more, but no one has the time. It is unreal what we have to go through. I studied abroad for a year and honestly until anything changes I think that might be the best solution for students right now until this lunacy changes. It's almost cheaper to live abroad, and not worry about classes being cut!

If the pumps weren't working properly, both sides of the freeway would have been flooded. Or at least that's what they are saying, so who knows for sure really.

I am a little disappointed it will take up to 10 years for it to get to the airport though. Did they mention anything about when it will eventually be expanded further into Elk Grove? Or heck, even Davis? That might be their 20 year plan if I remember correctly.

There were quite a few dance performers from the Sacramento/Bay Area, but many of the troupes were from all over California, and even the world! http://www.sacramentoworldfestival.com/performersschedule.html Kassandra Perlongo 2009-09-29T16:27:21Z Kassandra Perlongo comment-14608 2009-09-29T02:01:50Z 2009-09-29T02:01:50Z Wow Casey, this is an amazing article.

It almost sounds like they are working as consultants. I can see this becoming more popular, more and more companies are allowing their employees to telecommute part time. But many business owners may still pretty old school and want to see their assistants in the office helping them. Ultimately, this may just boil down to trust and forming a good business partnership over the internet and phone. Interesting article!

I just find Sacramento suburbs interesting. I have lived Downtown on P then on H Street, in Arden Arcade, Natomas, near the Fab 40s, and now in Elk Grove. I always just felt that Arden Arcade had a more distinct "town within a town" feel to it. Neighbors would have block parties and community events. Either way, it was my favourite move and I wish I lived there longer! Kassandra Perlongo 2009-09-25T19:44:35Z Kassandra Perlongo comment-14394 2009-09-25T19:16:34Z 2009-09-25T19:16:34Z This is a fantastic idea, and a good way to really get Sacramento back in touch with the community. Arden Arcade is one of my favourite areas in Sacramento, and I would love to see it expand more, but still retain its small town feel. If I remember correctly, didn't Arden Arcade put a ballot out to become its own city? Did that ballot ever pass?

I thought all mimes were always silent. Interesting fact!

I am saddened by the furlough days taking valuable work days from already overworked professors. I am saddened to hear of my friends, once so excited to apply to their respective Masters programs, have to instead work for another year making barely minimum wage since Sacramento State is not accepting graduate students next term. This has got to change. How are we going to survive as a state, as a nation, if our generation cannot get the education we so desire to better ourselves for good careers? I support any education that can be given to our state. We cannot slack off in this matter.

I remember hearing about the Sports Arena/restaurants before as well, but now because of the economic crisis it appears all of this has fallen through? Such a shame!

Great article, and beautiful pictures by the way. What a great and effective device to be used in third world nations. If this has been around since the 1970s why hasn't this idea really caught on? Is the technology expensive to mass produce?

I remember watching this in a French movie - District B13 - and was just completely blown away by what these guy could do with their bodies. It really is an artform combined with mental/physical training. I think the police force has everything to gain and nothing to lose by implementing this into their training. I would love to see more females involved with this. Are there any traceuse's that participate in Sacramento?

The bottom line is that people are not taking the law into their own hands, they are carrying a weapon which is their constitutional right and they are recognized by our own law enforcement as qualified and responsible citizens. I would much rather have someone like that be able to purchase and carry a weapon than someone just wanting to have a gun just to have one.

Also, mentioning Deftones, Sublime, et al. really brings me back to the glory days of grunge rock in the mid to late 90s. Who would qualify now for that ... Green Day, Blink 182? Or are they more alternative rock than anything else? Kassandra Perlongo 2009-08-21T17:25:04Z
