One Can Skip 2 Semesters of Algebra At City College
Math isd the most importsnt subject where the quality of the teacher, and the way they can make it interesting, matters the most. Jamie Escalante is someone I'm talking about. Or math wonderkid Scott Flansburg is what Im talking about-I bought his book "Math Magic" years ago, and it is amazing, he is even more amazing. He coaches math teachers. We need more people like HIM coaching the teachers, who are for the most part not tha good IMO. . http://scottflansburg.com/thc/ . .http://www.amazon.com/Math-Magic-Calculator-Everyday-Problems/dp/0060976195 .— November 8, 2010 5:31 p.m.
Old Horton Plaza Department Store Due For Wrecking Ball?
Also, I know the Plaza but I can't place the Robinson building. ======================= It faces Broadway, directly across the street from the US Grant Hotel, behind the grass and fountain; . http://www.cruisereviews.com/images/ports/mexicop… . . http://legacy.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/200810… .— November 8, 2010 1:58 p.m.
Proposition D Thumbed Down Overwhelmingly
If that's true, just think how much our Country has been harmed by one man in a position of power, fearing photo's of himself being caught in a dress or ... ========================== When you look back at the things J Edgar Hoover did while running the FBI-things NOT known at the time back then- he is a disgrace. There was an effort a few years back to take the sliemballs name off the FBI building in Wahsington DC-it is a shame it never happened. He was black mark on the FBI's solid reputation, and they have very few bac kmarks.— November 8, 2010 1:52 p.m.

Old Horton Plaza Department Store Due For Wrecking Ball?
I personally have not been there in the last 2 years.......I know Horton Plaza is not the only shopping center with declining sales-sales have declined everywhere the last 2 years....— November 7, 2010 7:11 p.m.
Tombstone, Arizona
Contrary to popular belief, Boot Hill cemetery is not filled with gunslingers. ============================ This guy Bob Munden is the fastest gunslinger in history, and he claims that gunslinger shoot outs never happened in the oldwest with a few high profile exceptions-like the OK Corral. Here is a video of this guy, he is amazing; . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hujvVmuLuoM .— November 7, 2010 4:46 p.m.
A Chat About Lemon Grove Kid Dennis Hopper
He was also in one of San Diego Junior Theatre's first productions, The Rose and the Ring, in 1952 when they were a wing of The Old Globe. Junior Theatre is still going strong and is the oldest continuing children's theatre program in the COUNTRY. Check out their website for a picture of him in the cast: http://www.juniortheatre.com/history/ ==============================\ Wow, that is cool info, thanks for posting that! You should update his Mr. Peck's wikipedia page with this info, since it is not in there yet, I am sure many others would be interested in knowing this; . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_Peck .— November 7, 2010 4:35 p.m.
DeMaio Blind to One Thing: Greed
The IRS would not be too happy to see any pension system funded at 120%. Funding at those levels would risk the system's tax exempt status, and indicate too much money is being sheltered from Uncle Sam. ===================== This is absolutely false. There is NO rule, regulation nor law that would prevent a pension fund from being funded above a 100% level, be it 20% or 100%. Indeed, after Calpers lost a full 40% of it's funding in 2007-2008 this would be a welcome change. Even if there were some law that would affect funding at 120%, that could very easily be cured by congressional legislation, but as I said, there is nothing to prevent funding above 100%. BTW-my plan is better than the one DeMaio has presented, because it keeps the muni work force intact-no outsourcing, while also keeping all employees working-no lay offs.— November 7, 2010 4:30 p.m.
Maple Canyon to Banker's Hill
I have not doen this specific hike, but I have been all over the area on walks. I used to walk about 1-2 miles every morning from my pad on Front Street & Laurel..........used to go up the avenues, like 4th, 5th or 6th, and then circle back down First or 2nd....I really did like that area, the only problem was being close to Balboa Park, which has a very large transient population and they would filter over to my home all the time, at all hours of the day and night...I'm not kidding, we would get Tweakers rummaging thru the garbage cans at 3 and 4 AM looking for recycle material...but do love the area....— November 7, 2010 12:27 p.m.
