John Baldessari: Can't Take National City Out Of The Boy | KPBS.org
"Baldessari says though he felt isolated living and making art in National City, it was liberating.

"Because no one was looking my shoulder," he said. "I never would have done those text things anywhere else. Who cares but me? I can do anything I want!"

Baldessari says it took him a long time to call himself an artist. Once he thought of it as an occupation, like a plumber or a carpenter, it was easier to accept. What’s even harder for him to accept is how famous he’s become.

"I still read about myself and say, who is this person?" he said. "You can take the boy out of National City, but you can’t take National City out of the boy.""

These teenagers stand for hours in a human chain of 16,000 at the world’s busiest international land border."

There's No Place Like This Home - voiceofsandiego.org: Behind The Scene: The Art And Drama Of Making Art In San Diego
"If all goes well, the dream of artist Do Ho Suh will come true on Nov. 15 when the one-room cottage will be lowered into place by one of the biggest cranes in North America. The piece seems destined to become the most talked-about piece in UCSD's Stuart Collection of works of art designed to be permanent parts of the campus.

The roots of the project go back to Suh's earlier years, when he was "completely disoriented" by his move from South Korea to Rhode Island for graduate school, said the Stuart Collection's director, Mary Beebe. He's since become famous for art that explores issues of home and away-from-home, location and dislocation."

ICON MAGAZINE ONLINE | Architecture Without Buildings
"A new generation of architects is demonstrating that we should stop and think before trying to solve a problem with a building.

They feel much more effective writing, researching, campaigning, occupying and performing than they do at the drawing board. They don't wait to be approached by clients; they see the potential to make a difference and they seize it. That might take the form of an installation, a book, a fireworks display or squatting for days in a condemned building.

Working in places such as Caracas, Tijuana, Zagreb and even Rome, Berlin and London, they operate at the limits of what we call "architecture". Yet in some way they can be seen as the conscience of their profession."

Occupy San Diego Tomorrow! | AGITPROP
"Toward the end of this video Chomsky speaks to the fact that much of the opposition from elites toward Social Security is not so much economic concerns, but rather that Social Security implies a social solidarity among individuals. It implies that people should care whether the kid across the street has an adequate education etc. It seems, despite the lack of specific demands, that this is what “Occupy” is really about. Combating the atomization of the individual in order to begin the process of working against the forces stated above and mentioned in the video below. Tomorrow afternoon is a chance to begin this process locally."

Why San Diegans Are to Blame for the City's Problems - voiceofsandiego.org: Q & As
"There are really two faces or sides to San Diego. There's the San Diego the tourists see. There's a high-tech industry that spawned the new economy by places like UCSD. That's the public face of San Diego at least in terms of the local PR machine, which is very good at getting the San Diego image out.

The reality of San Diego is on the public sector side. I think on the first page we talk about an increasingly grim and visible civic reality, which is dry rot for public services and infrastructure. That's still largely hidden. You get intimations of it like during the 2003 and 2007 fire when you suddenly realize we have very little fire protection.

The problem with San Diego is that the ocean and the sun are both our blessing and our curse. Obviously, it's a wonderful place to live in if you can afford it. But the problem is, is that it induces sort of a sense of complacency that as long as the sun comes up everything is OK."

What's on Your Wall? Mike Maxwell - voiceofsandiego.org: Behind The Scene: The Art And Drama Of Making Art In San Diego
"As soon as I walked into Maxwell's house at the beginning of January to meet him and appear on his Live Free Podcast, I knew I'd have to come back with Sam Hodgson to feature the artistic contents of his home in our What's On Your Wall? series. We've already checked out artist Kim MacConnel's Encinitas home, and art gallery director Ben Strauss-Malcolm's home in Golden Hill.<br />
<br />
Most of the art in Maxwell's house he procured by trading his own work. He's collaborated with some of the artists, worked for others, curated shows for still others. "I would pay top dollar, if I had top dollar," he says."<br />

"…graduate of UCSC…has used technology as a sword for social change in a career dedicated to helping empower the dis-advantaged. He will bring his experience directing non-profit organizations not only to A Word with You Press, but to Kid Expression, our sister program housed in the same facilities here in Oceanside. (For those of you new to the site, Kid Expression is our non-profit program to help young writers become accomplished authors.)<br />

When Morgan was five I delivered him to his first day of school in Borneo (Hey, Barack did his first year in school there, too, and was also an advocate for social justice before he got his current paying gig). I handed him over to the principal & kindergarten teacher in the American school with these instructions: “Do your best to teach him to conform, & I will do my best to teach him not to.” Morgan grew into manhood living with that paradox, & will bring a lot to our site."

San Diego Foundation changes focus from institutions to artists in new program | SignOnSanDiego.com
"The San Diego Foundation’s groundbreaking program still requires that each artist have a nonprofit sponsoring organization, which will receive a nominal fee for providing technical support and a venue, but the program aims to put project grants ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 directly into the hands of the artists…<br />
<br />
Not only in San Diego, but nationally, there’s a lot of talk in arts circles about innovation and creativity. At the national Americans for the Arts conference in San Diego in June, one of the panels focused on institutions moving from “cultural” endeavors to “creative” endeavors. While “cultural” implies something elite, rarefied, and of little apparent concern to a large segment of the population, “creative” signifies something open, dynamic, and of interest to just about anybody…<br />
<br />
With its goal of encouraging more artists to stay in San Diego, Shaw sees the foundation’s program as directly related to the region’s prosperity."

ron miriello: 100 worlds project
"US and italy -based designer ron miriello's '100 worlds project' began with a simple idea: 'to create for the sake of creating.' a series of sculptures, rendered into photographic interpretations and now on exhibition at california's jett gallery, the work became 'a unifying 'story' that invites others [to] contribute and shape a larger vision.'<br />
<br />
for the multimodal project, miriello created fifty interpreted globes, using materials that vary from antique pipewrenches and boat propellers to corrugated cardboard and bowling balls. he then gave the pieces to over forty san diego-based photographers, each of whom spent at least a week with the world and returned with their personal photographic documentation of the sculpture. fifty photographic prints thus accompany the fifty handmade 'worlds' in the gallery exhibition, and the entire project process is documented in the '100 worlds project' exhibition book…"

Bridgepoint Booms Over Troubled Waters - voiceofsandiego.org: Pounding The Pavement
"Bridgepoint's business model depends on one thing: Getting people into college who wouldn't otherwise go.<br />
That involves paying hundreds of recruiters in San Diego office buildings to call around the country and find tens of thousands of people willing to enroll in a tiny college in rural Iowa. Ninety-nine percent of those students won't ever have to set foot in Iowa, since they'll be studying online.<br />
And the bulk of the revenue Bridgepoint receives for educating students — at least 85 percent last year — comes straight from the federal government in the form of student loans.<br />
Bridgepoint CEO Andrew Clark and other company officials declined interview requests through corporate spokespeople. But, as a publicly traded company, Bridgepoint's financial success story has been well-documented.<br />
<br />
More than anything else, two factors have played into Bridgepoint's extraordinary success. One was the company's genius business idea; the other was a stroke of good fortune…"

"South of El Cajon Boulevard, ethnic business leaders and nonprofit advocates…hoped the five acres would become an international marketplace or affordable housing complex.<br />

North of El Cajon Boulevard…saw the vacant lot as an opportunity to finally lay claim to the boulevard, a hodgepodge of ethnic mom-and-pop shops they rarely visit. They wanted something transformative: a Trader Joe's or a Henry's, and maybe a park — but not affordable housing…<br />
<br />
Todd Gloria, the area's city councilman, was pleased with the decision to put a YMCA there…<br />
<br />
…A few Talmadge residents recently sued the San Diego Unified School District over plans to install stadium lights on the Hoover High football field, saying they feared nighttime events would bring a flood of traffic. But the school largely serves poor students from City Heights, and the lights' supporters said allowing evening events would give students from neighborhoods south of El Cajon Boulevard safe options for nighttime activities."

Robbery? Not in this Redevelopment Fight - voiceofsandiego.org:
"What the response revealed though, as if it were hidden, was that it's not necessarily big government that city of San Diego Republican leaders are against. They have a resource-allocation grievance. Spending is OK, & it's to be encouraged, in fact. Investment in downtown &, say, a new Convention Center is an obvious good. Government spending isn't the problem for them—it's that Other Part of Government spending that's the problem.

I just don't get it, they'll say. Let's take their objections 1 by 1: [listed]…

At some point Sanders, Faulconer, Gloria & everyone else will have to just admit they want the money for this & not that. They could make the case about why their preferred spending was more important than the spending that was preserved…a legitimate position. But it doesn't, apparently, carry the weight of screaming that you're the victim of armed robbery by big government.

Unfortunately it wasn't robbery. It was a resource-allocation game that someone had to lose."

For San Diego Schools, a Fear That Larger Classes Will Hinder Learning - NYTimes.com
"While educators debate whether the academic gain from reducing class size is worth the cost, research has shown that significantly smaller classes make a difference in the earliest grades. San Diego’s decision to set a class size of 17 at its poorest schools was based on the most influential study in the field, the Tennessee STAR project. That research, done in the 1980s, concluded that students in small classes (13 to 17 children) outperformed those in regular classrooms (22 to 25) in kindergarten to third grades. The gains were biggest among poor minority children, and that advantage continued for years to come.<br />
<br />
As a child, Ms. Marten attended a private school where the ratio of students to teachers was 16 to 1. For many years she also taught at a private school with small class sizes. At Central, reducing the number of students per class has been a top priority."

The Periscope Project: Urban Education Initiative by The Periscope Project — Kickstarter
"Designed by resident contemporary artists, architects, and educators, the first annual Periscope Urban Laboratory will teach high school students drawing, photography, video-making, construction, hydroponic gardening, and critical thinking skills as potent tools for urban analysis, public art, and environmental sustainability.<br />
<br />
Each lab in the series will guide high school students in producing an analytically engaging artistic response to a contemporary regional urban issue and will culminate in a gallery show at the end of the summer. More importantly, we hope to equip students with valuable technical, visual, and aesthetic communication tools necessary to understand, interpret, and critically respond to the urgent urban challenges they face.<br />
<br />
We already have the space, skilled instructors, and community support. With your help, the next step is equipment and supplies."

The Museum’s endeavors consistently address cultural, historical and social issues“<br />
<br />
The images already uploaded to their account are all stunning and often dreamy. Highlights from collection include photographs from William Henry Fox Talbot, Eadweard J. Muybridge, Julia Margaret Cameron, Jean-Eugène-Auguste Atget and more. With every photograph they include information about the image and photographer to help you understand a little more about when it was created and how. Of course like every member of the Commons, they invite you to add more information about the photos by commenting and tagging.<br />
<br />

Chollas Lake Park | Park & Recreation
"As a reservoir built in 1901, Chollas Lake helped serve early San Diego's water supply. In 1966 it was turned over to the Park and Recreation Department, and was designated a youth fishing lake (for children ages 15 and under only) in 1971."<br />
<br />
"Facilities: A 16-acre lake for free youth fishing (age 15 and under ONLY); an 8/10's-of-a-mile dirt path around the lake for walking, jogging, and bicycling; picnic tables with barbecue grills; children's play equipment; a small basketball court; hiking trails; and a multi-purpose ball field in North Chollas canyon."

Liz Kuball › California Vernacular
"When you move out to California from back east, you come for a reason… what you find when you get here is that things aren’t what you thought they’d be. There’s some of what you expected…But there’s more: houses w/ cacti & succulents in place of the green lawns you grew up w/; women in bikinis climbing ladders; trees groomed in an archway, the expected path btwn them blocked by a gateless chain-link fence. You answer an ad on craigslist for a used car & find yourself in a boxed-in car lot in Van Nuys & go for pie at Du-par’s afterward, because pie makes sense when you’re on Ventura Boulevard & it’s 95 degrees & the car wasn’t what the ad said it would be. & you’d think that, after all this, you’d become disillusioned & go back home, & some do, of course, but many more of us stay & instead of growing bitter, we hang on—hang on to a world that, to us, is even more fantastic than the one we thought we’d find, because it’s real in its absurdity & because we have stories to tell."

Understanding San Diego's Crime Drop - voiceofsandiego.org: Data-drive
"In San Diego, the number of violent crimes — murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault — dropped 5.3 percent from the previous year and the number of property crimes — burglary, theft and vehicle theft — dropped 4.6 percent. (Nationwide, violent crime dropped 5.5 percent and property crimes were down 2.8 percent.)<br />
<br />
San Diego stood out in at least one crime category, though. Police reported 29 murders last year, a 29 percent drop from the previous year and the lowest number since 1963. It was a steeper drop than all other major cities and far greater than the nationwide drop, 4.4 percent.<br />
<br />
San Diego also continued to have one of the lowest violent crime rates among major cities, with 428 crimes per 100,000 residents. Only San Jose had a lower rate, with 331 crimes per capita. By comparison, the average for major cities was 700 crimes per capita."

Will San Diego Help Stop Global Warming? | KPBS.org
"But there are some problems with any rosy scenario of vehicle-mile reductions in our future. While lots of money is planned for San Diego transit projects, those won't be completed until freeways expansions take place ... notably the infamous plan to widen I-5 by six lanes.<br />
<br />
Elyse Lowe is the director of Move San Diego, and she said getting people out of their cars won't be easy if you're taking steps to reduce traffic congestion.<br />
<br />
"If you put a lot of money into your freeways and make it easier to drive,” she said, “and then do transit and think people are going to choose that, you've really dis-incentivized your transit system.""

In the Eastern Coachella Valley, Residents Are Struggling to Breathe - Environment - GOOD [See also: http://www.epa.gov/region9/tribal/torres-martinez/gallery.html ]
"Probably the most disgusting and offensive of all the environmental abuses in the ECV is something locals have begun calling “Mt. San Diego.” Far from a majestic rock formation, however, Mt. San Diego is instead a massive tower of human waste that was shuttled into the ECV from San Diego—hence the name—and dumped onto tribal land from 1989 until 1994, when a federal order put an end to the practice. According to witness testimonials, the mountain once stood about 50-feet high, but it’s diminished quite a bit. Still, residents say the heap of feces continues to emit a noxious odor in the hot desert wind, and it sits just a few miles away from the St. Anthony Mobile Home Park.<br />
Interestingly, the EPA now lists Mt. San Diego as being one of its “major accomplishments” in the area, boasting “[The California Integrated Waste Management Board] completed its cleanup of the Mt. San Diego Dump site in April 2007.”"

Kids Make the Next Move, and the Next, and the Next - voiceofsandiego.org: Schooled: The Education Blog
"Educators often bemoan the revolving door of teachers in and out of disadvantaged schools. But the revolving door of kids is no less worrisome. Switching schools again and again can handicap children academically. They miss some lessons and repeat others. Kids who move more than twice are roughly half as likely to do well on a national reading test than those who haven't moved at all, according to one study.<br />
<br />
Their classmates suffer from the churn too, as teachers try to juggle new kids with old ones. "You're always reteaching," said Becky Benitez, a teacher who has spent a dozen years at Marshall. That goes for everything from rounding decimals to how to line up for lunch. Any day can be the first day of school."

Architect envisions border wall as good neighbor
"The U.S.-Mexico border wall may be here to stay, but a University of California, Berkeley, assistant professor of architecture has some provocative ideas about how  to redesign the barrier to slow illegal immigration and at the same time transform it in an economically, environmentally and socially beneficial way, to benefit both countries.<br />
<br />
Ronald Rael envisions a wall dotted with multi-purpose installations with a life-saving water collection site, a treatment plant for toxic wastewater from the New River, a swing, a volleyball court, a solar farm and even a confessional."

California-Antilles Trading and West Indies Creole Hot Pepper Sauce - Normal Heights - San Diego, CA | The Eaten Path
"With face pressed against the glass door, I peered at the rows of 3 oz. bottles like a kid outside a candy store. I’d been driving down Adams Ave. when I saw the words, “Hot Sauces and More,” and I pulled over, only to be foiled again by the dreaded “Closed-on-Mondays” sign. The spot was California-Antilles Trading, a small boutique in Normal Heights whose selection of novelty condiments tugged at the sentimental strings of my stomach. Hot sauces, BBQ rubs, salsas and pepper-flavored oddities with badly punning product names filled every shelf surface, and biker tee-shirts featuring wrinkled habaneros hung from the ceiling like stuffed animals at a carnival game, ready to be won by champions."

"Founded during the space-age boom of the 1950s, the University of California, San Diego campus showcases some of California's finest postwar architecture. Perched dramatically above the Pacific Ocean, the campus architecture ranges from spare sixties concrete structures to light, open California modernists designs and, from the new millennium, buildings that reflect the latest ideas about connecting buildings with the student community. University of California, San Diego is both a history of campus planning and growth and a series of map-guided walking tours of its architectural landmarks, including visits to buildings by world-renowned architects, such as Antoine Predock, Michael Rotondi, and Moshe Safdie."

California Bungalow - Wikipedia
"traces its origins to Indian province of Bengal, word itself derived from Hindi bangla or house in Bengali style. The native thatched roof huts were adapted by British, who built bungalows as houses for administrators and as summer retreats. Refined & popularized in California, many books list the first California house dubbed a bungalow as the one designed by the San Francisco architect A. Page Brown in the early 1890s. However, Brown's close friend, Joseph Worcester, designed a bungalow for himself & erected it atop a hill in Piedmont, across the bay from San Francisco, in 1877-78. The bungalow influenced Bernard Maybeck, Willis Polk & other San Francisco architects & Jack London, who rented Worcester's house from 1902-03 called it a "bungalow w/ a capital 'B'".<br />
<br />
The bungalow became popular because it met the needs of changing times in which the lower middle class were moving from apartments to private houses in great numbers. Bungalows were modest, inexpensive & low-profile."

"Goddamn Electric Bill is the wonderful moniker of a one-man band from sunny San Diego, California. Jason Torbert happens to be that man, and he's been knocking about that local scene for the better part of the last seven years. <br />

This song falls into the same sunny, melodic category as Delorean and other chillwave acts, but it's not aimed at the dance floor, at least not explicitly. The layered synths, double-dutch rhythms, and vocals buried deep in reverb celebrate being young and free, but this particular track also shimmers like the surface of a swimming pool on a blistering summer day. You don't really need to follow the plot; you can just enjoy the breeze and let it float by…"
