by STEVEN ARGUE
(Photo: Political Prisoner Leonard Peltier) Native Americans have been in the United States from the beginning, yet according to health and employment statistics, they, like other people of color, still have not achieved equality. For example, between 1998 and 2000 Native American infants in the United States were 1.7 times more likely to die than white infants in their first year of life (Tomashek et al.). The Lakota, on the Pine Ridge Reservation in North Dakota, who supported the cu...

textDeal Struck at 55 Laguna; Campaign to Save Rent Control Heats Up by Paul Hogarth via Beyond Chron
Friday, January 18, 2008 : The end of rent control – which will happen if a June state proposition passes – could not come at a worse time. San Francisco rents exploded in 2007, and are now expected to rise even further.

That’s why a deal brokered by Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi to develop the UC Extension ...
