I think it's more important for journalists to ask vital questions at press conferences when…Read More politicians and other leaders are addressing the public on crucial matters.
Whenever I see or listen to these public press conferences the journalists ask 'soft ball' questions almost all the time. Few ask really good 'hard ball' questions to get to the truth. Almost like the journalists protect those on the hot seat.
So I would rather have this competition focus on the students developing questions to ask the one giving the press conference after they read a makeshift scenario of the events that produced the press conference.
Just asking the students to watch a press conference and then write a report evaluates them on their stenographer skills. That's not really what it means to be a 'journalist'.

The mere fact that Nancy Shultz who is an investment officer at ProLogis got quoted in the Sun…Read More Newspaper (Ted Apodaca had write up) today stating that there are differences between a trucking terminal and a logistics facility. The only difference is WHAT? When you think of a distribution center that brings trucks in you realize it must come in TRUCKS of course, duh. She goes on to be quoted verbatim: “We are going to be consistent with what is already in the neighborhood,” she said. She continues with “There is information that says we are building a truck depot. A depot usually has only little office space an lots of extra land to park for staging.” WELL, I would like to inform her that a truck depot/terminal/Container Freight Station (CFS) is where trucks go to for unloading their consolidated containers. She CAN TRY and change the verbage and I am sure she will, but I ain’t buying it BABE because I work in this industry and I actually know the verbage, no matter how much you twist it. We have truckers coming into the L.A. and Long Beach harbor terminals right now with the word “logistics” in their name and we also know they ARE DROPPING off their containers to customers–YEP–and those customers ARE EVERYWHERE, WHICH INCLUDES HERE. ProLogis, shame on you for pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes. Its not nice to fool NATURE lovers!

Good point CDC on the Los Al Hospital aspect. I didn't write that up because it was the proximity…Read More of the site, but now that you mention it--I will include that fact in my next write up. If you wanna read something quite interesting, read up on what they are doing in Carson--- http://ir.prologis.com/releasedetail.cfm?releaseid=658348
Also, the posting today for jobs on www.career-found.com says ProLogis wants people to apply today for Cypress jobs and is hiring right now. Oh really???

Great write-up on the Mitt Romney style property investment company.
They have ZERO regard for the…Read More people who would be living around this volcano of diesel fumes.
You are also 100% percent correct about the roads that will get destroyed due to wear. Tax payers are going to be PAYING EXTRA to have the roads surfaced three times as much while they get to breath the diesel particulate. Nice exchange!
Also, you forgot to state that there is a MAJOR hospital four blocks away that needs clear access on roads coming in from Rossmoor and Los Alamitos. HUGE Trucks backed up on our already packed arterial roads are not going to help emergency ambulance calls get to the hospital any faster. I'm sure all the people going to the hospital for cystic fibrosis, emphysema, bronchitis, asthma, COPD, Lung Cancer will love breathing that dirty air. And how many car spaces does a double trailer rig take on the road? 3-4?
Our community is going to have China style air quality! Remember that the AQMD nazis want to now prohibit fires in fireplaces thanks to the harbor pollution killing our air quality. Having this site would only make the air worse and push the pollution numbers over the top.
PLEASE print the above article out and hand it out and post it for as many people as possible to read.

The increase is lower than the rate of inflation. Understood, but most of the people in the district…Read More are experiencing stagnant income, if not reductions. This is why residents are unhappy when recurring costs increase. Tough situation.
