Nutritional science is a growing interest among young health professionals. Most professional graduate programs are crowded with academic requirements and leave little room for the study of nutrition. While many programs include short courses in nutrition, nutrition is emerging as a complex subject that requires more instruction time. In order to provide a strong base in nutrition, a full year of focused study has been found to be effective. The Institute of Human Nutrition in the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University is the pioneer in providing this educational opportunity. The demand for Columbia’s Master of Science Program is growing with over double the graduates (80) this year compared to thirty years ago. The proposal for a Masters in Science Program in Nutrition will provide the opportunity to focus on the subject of nutrition over the course of a year to prepare the next generation of health professionals to effectively promote health and wellness through optimal nutrition, physical activity and emotional wellbeing. The proposed Masters of Science in Nutrition would be a 12-month program that provides the foundation in Nutritional Science that will lead graduates to careers in Medicine, Public Health, Policy, Research or Academics. A multidisciplinary team of UCLA Professors would teach the Master students. This program would take advantage of the large resource pool of talented UCLA professors who focus on nutrition and provide a cadre of self identified graduate students to participate in the Nexus Initiative. Other educational opportunities could be a Master in Science for Health Professionals, a PhD in Nutrition or a MD/PhD.

Mega money in U.S. politics is drowning out the voices of those who can't afford to compete on the same monetary level, so inevitably the message funded by rich is the only message that gets heard. We're proposing a law that would require anyone who bought time to air a political attack ad in markets with limited access, i.e. TV networks & local stations (cable or broadcast), radio stations, or paid to publish a political ad in a newspaper or magazine, would be required to pay for equal time in the same media for a rebuttal to that political attack ad, answered by the individual or party the ad attacks. This would not be a limit to free speech, this would be a balanced expansion of free speech to allow both sides to be heard.

In 2011 residents of Santa Cruz, San Benito and Monterey Counties lost the ability to watch local San Francisco Channel 7 as our ABC station. Now we only have 2 choices for (semi) local news: KSBW and KION. Most people in the viewing areas identify themselves as being part of the Bay Area and NOT of Salinas. We want Channel 7 San Francisco News back NOW. If we were to get Channel 7 News back then viewers would really have a choice in news.

Many people watch tv news if only to get the weather report. Invariably, the science of global warning is referenced like FOX news is balanced.

My son Brayden has autism. Child care centers keep denying him care because they cannot handle him or know how to deal with autism. I want there to be a law to protect children with autism. All child care providers should be required to take a course on caring for autistic children.

A thousand people die everyday in the US waiting for an Organ. Yet a cure exists, and has existed since at least 2006 and is being kept from the people who need it most; these deaths ruin lives, tear families apart, bankrupt our middle and lower classes and significantly increase spending out of our programs like Social Security and Medicare. All of which is unnecessary.
