NBC coverage of the London Olympics is omnipresent—via live streams on nbcolympics.com, social media, dedicated cable channels and on its flagship network for prime-time shows (but tape-delayed). With less than a week to go until the Closing Ceremony on Sunday, how do you grade the network for Summer Games coverage? What should Bob Costas & Co. be doing better? More references to the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista?
Poll: Is NBC Delivering Gold-Medal Coverage of the London Games?
Network focuses on proven stars, but also beach bikini volleyball and mainly American athletes.

Nope..he's a Public Figure...and as such must be accessible to us...and actually should be......as…Read More it is he is unable to be found..never holds public hearings to give his assessment on what's happening with this Grand Jury thing or about anything. So I guess now we know where he is. Hey Mr Mayor, mind telling us what your hours at The Plank are so we might approach you about our concerns ....sounds like what we used to call in the Air Force a ROAD (Retired on Active Duty)

I am not a big fan of our mayor but I think this is a real invasion of the Janney's privacy.

Forcing the blame back on the court's for the release of these felon's will not solve the problem…Read More tho, A workable answer is to de=criminalize all state marijuana laws and release all those convicted of marijuana except thos ewith a conviction for distributing over 10 Lbs. Then take all those with federal convictions and drop them off at a federal court for them to deal; with ! We can not afford to keep minor marijuana prisoners in state jails any longer. These tow actions would make all the room we need in outr state prisons !

Candy,
Spriggs and Patton are supposed to be researching a Youth Advisory Committee (including a…Read More name with a better acronym).
Sign me up for a Youth committee. With 3 kids, from teen to toddler, I have a very vested interest in keeping activities for all ages. Plus Marc wants on. As a teen he can be a leader to younger kids - like he is in Coronado.
It is just those of us who want to work for our city's betterment, seem to be shot down.

Why can't the Sportspark offer the same type of programs that the YMCA does? I think it would be…Read More great for the City to have have a Parks and Rec's Advisory Committee. The advisory committee could help the rec center establish some new programs and apply for the 1000's of grants available out there.
Lets not forget about the over 800 people in IB who signed a petition and still want a dog park. What about the need for a park in the Oneonta area? A Parks and Rec's Advisory Board could help council with funding and also take some of the work load off of staff. This wouldn't cost the City a dime, sounds like a win-win to me. If the advisory board had some dedicated volunteers, they could establish themselves as a non-profit and apply for grants themselves and help the City pay for these projects. That would free up money in the general fund and allow us to keep our Sportspark, Skatepark and Little Leagues to ourselves. Out sourcing should be our last resort.
