Carnival rides hint of fun to come
Carnival returns to Oregon Mutual Insurance campus for second year
Big trucks carrying carnival rides are arriving in town today, and workers will be scrambling to set up all sorts of machines that spin and lift and thrill riders.
The Turkey Rama carnival will open at 3 p.m. Thursday for a four-day run at Fifth and Baker streets. Oregon Mutual Insurance employees have generously agreed to leave their cars elsewhere during the festival so the rides can occupy their parking lot.
It's the second year the carnival has been back adjacent to the Third Street portion of Turkey Rama. It moved to other locations -- first the fairgrounds, then the lot near Rice Furniture and Lowe's -- for several years after some people objected to the noise and lights and crowds it brought when it was at Second and Galloway.
But just as many people missed it, so Chamber officials and local businesses reached a compromise and back came the rides. And last year, most Turkey Rama goers said they were happy to have the rides close to the rest of the action, making it easy to enjoy the carnival as well as the music, the booths and Saturday's car show.
This year, like last, families can even enjoy barbecued turkey without leaving Saturday's car show downtown. Turkey dinners will be served at the Presbyterian Church at Second and Davis Saturday afternoon, as well as in Wortman Park.
But if you can, visit the World's Largest Turkey Barbecue's traditional site on Lafayette Avenue. In addition to gobbling up the turkey dinner, you'll hear music by the local Second Winds Community Band and other groups, and you'll get to see the huge grills on which Elks and other volunteers cook five tons of turkey.

BERKELEY — Tamela Hopson's job as an aide teaching special-education students in Oakland just doesn't cut it. Curtis Green's in-home care gig for an elderly man doesn't, either, and he has two boys, 7 and 9, to feed.
Both Berkeley residents rely on the Berkeley Food Pantry to supplement what's on the table at mealtime about once a month.
"It's the economy," Hopson, 27, said as she loaded up on groceries at the Sacramento Street pantry recently as a line snaked out the door, around a corner and into the parking lot. "I can't afford to go shopping like I used to. This stuff really helps complete my meals."
During Hopson's latest trip to the pantry — each resident is allowed one visit per month — she brought her grandmother, two nephews and a niece.
Green, 49, and his girlfriend, Juanita Burton, were at the pantry recently and talked about the sorry state of employment opportunities in the East Bay. Green said he would love to land a seasonal Christmas job, something in construction, warehouse work or accounting. It has been six months since he had full-time work.
"It's kind of hard for us," Green said. "We're seeking jobs right now, but there's not much out there. It's so competitive and there's so many people. Then the price of gas makes it hard to take any job that's far away."
Green said he has been going to the Berkeley Food Pantry for about five years.
The pantry, which distributes emergency food to about 2,000 individuals or about 700 families in Berkeley and Albany each month since 1969, is seeing its highest demand in recent memory, even more so than the dire straits after the national financial meltdown of 2008 and 2009, said director Bill Shive.
"Week by week there are more people coming in," said Shive, who has worked at the pantry for five years. "The demand keeps growing."
Shive said the pantry gets its food from the Alameda County Food Bank, local grocery stores including Andronico's and from individual donations.
The pantry recently got a new influx of food through a program where neighbors in the area around Sacramento and Cedar streets donate items and the pantry picks them up from their homes.
"It's called the Neighborhood Food Project," Shive said. "Neighbors are asked to buy an extra item every time they go to the grocery store. They put it in a bag and when it's ready, our neighborhood coordinator goes and picks it up."
Shive said the pantry has been getting about 1,000 pounds of food every two months from neighbors, and he hopes it keeps growing.
But that still is not meeting the demand, he said. The pantry, in the Berkeley Friends Church at Sacramento and Cedar streets, is always looking for donations of food and money. The money donated to the pantry buys fresh groceries such as milk, meat and eggs. Food donations needed regularly include canned meats, soups and fruit, peanut butter, rice, pasta, cereal, fruit juice, cookies and snacks, garden produce and boxes of macaroni and cheese. Donations are accepted from 1 to 4 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Another way to donate aside from cash and food is to organize a food drive through a school, church or other organization. The pantry also accepts donations via credit card on its website, www.berkeleyfoodpantry.vpweb.com.

Designer sells her capsule collections to Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Express
Bell's winning capsule collections will be available online and in stores including 50 Macy's locations and 15 Express locations nationwide
In Friday's season finale episode of NBC's "Fashion Star," contestants Hunter Bell, Cassandra Hobbins and Daniel Silverstein were challenged to create a capsule collection for all three retailers.

Her winning capsule collections will be carried online at Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue and Express and in 50 Macy's locations and 15 Express locations nationwide.

Silverstein concentrated on the use of prints to suit his Macy's "muse."
Each contestant sent three complete looks for each retailer down the runway, including multiple pieces an array of styles. Mentors Simpson, Nicole Richie and John Varvatos all had high praises for the final three designers' collections. After intense deliberation, the buyers eliminated Silverstein, leaving Bell and Hobbins as the final two contenders.

The Special Operations Response Team or SORT Team was developed in the early 90's to address the need to respond to high risk situations in the detention facility such as cell extractions, inmate movement or transport, and hostage and/or riot situations. SORT team members train in conjunction with SWAT team members to assist with SWAT missions as needed. Testing for this specialized team includes a personnel file review, oral board, and physical ability testing to determine proper candidates for this highly sought after specialization. A SORT member is expected to be a leader amongst their fellow jail staff and a resource for those staff members in regards to officer safety and tactics in the jail.
All members are required to maintain a high level of training and expertise, and attend specific training programs. Training is conducted throughout the year to include mock riots, facility evacuations, emergency procedures, dealing with high risk inmates, cell placements and extractions. Training also includes the use of non-lethal defensive tactics, munitions, and weaponry to eliminate the introduction of firearms into the facility which can create an increasingly dangerous environment for inmates and personnel.

The perils of anesthesia-free dentistry in pets
Nonprofessional dental scaling misses serious disease below the gum line and can damage teeth
Oct 01, 2011
Anesthesia-free dentistry, or nonprofessional dental scaling (NPDS), is becoming more common, particularly in dogs and cats. Anesthetic concerns, monetary issues and the desire to maximize the health and welfare of a beloved pet by providing some form of dental care all play a role in the onset and proliferation of this practice. But are we helping, hurting or working somewhere in between when we clean pets' teeth without adequate anesthesia?
Case example 1: A history of inadequate care
Case example 2: Disease that could be missed
A second patient represents a situation that is commonly missed if anesthesia-free dentistry is performed. This middle-aged dachshund has an oronasal fistula due to periodontal disease associated with the loss of the maxillary right fourth premolar (104). Improper closure resulted in a defect exposing the nasal cavity (Photo 3). The opposite canine tooth (204) demonstrates no visible pathology (Photo 4); however, a periodontal probe placed on the palatal aspect of this tooth reveals an 8-mm periodontal pocket where bone has been destroyed. In time, this will result in a similar outcome.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA -- I've used this service once previously and they did a good job. They sent a three-person crew that worked hard, tried to accommodate special requests and was very professional. I was happy to tip them generously. Not so, the second time I hired them. This time, they sent a guy with no initiative and no apparent housekeeping skills and a girl, maybe his daughter, who blew through my kitchen in five minutes flat and then stood around texting on her phone. They did NOTHING well.
They barely swept or vacuumed the floors; if any maneuvering around minor obstacles (extension cords, etc) was required they skipped it (again, unlike the first crew, which was impressively diligent about moving things aside to get underneath, etc.) They didn't dust the window sills or the vertical blinds, door frames, molding, bookcases or TV stand. They didn't even clean all the kitchen counters. As far as I can tell, all these two bozos did was wipe down the bathroom mirror, sink and toilet (cursorily) and LINE UP MY SHOES in the bedroom. Gee, that makes all the difference!
This company will never again get my business or recommendation. I was trying to figure out how "We Clean Out Your Wallets" stays in business with such poor quality control, but I guess they just send out so many of those little fliers there's always another mark waiting to be taken in. Their slogan should be "There's a sucker born every minute."
SHERMAN OAKS, CALIFORNIA -- OK these people are a joke. Just check them out on the Better Business Bureau's website. Their rating is F and they have 16 complaints in the last 3 years with 2 complaints closed in the last 1 year. I think that is enough for anyone to make a decision if they want to work with this company. Completely incompetent, horrible service and horrible customer service. If there was negative rating that is what I would give them. They do not even deserve 1 star.
I hired the company and they made me prepay and sign a contract before the ladies started cleaning. They did not clean anything at all and after 2 hours of pretend work they left and the house was still dirty and they broke a cup and hid it in the dishwasher. When I called to complain the representatives were extremely rude and did not want to do anything about it. Please do not waste your time with this company. Not sure if it's a real company at all. They might be running it out of someone's backyard.
SHERMAN OAKS, CALIFORNIA -- We Clean America, 15335 Morrison Street, Suite 117,
We Clean America is the maid service I have been using. On Sunday October 3, their maids cleaned my house. After they left, I realized the maids had stolen my ruby/diamond necklace. I closed the account I wrote their check on and told them when they replaced my $395 necklace, I would pay them their $60, but I wouldn't pay them $60 to steal my jewelry. ** said "I'll ask the maids and get back to you." Today they called and said they weren't responsible for their maids stealing my jewelry and I still owed them $60. They claimed they aren't insured and their employees aren't bonded.
I WANT THEM TO REPLACE MY NECKLACE. The necklace itself has great spiritual value to me and the gold chain was a gift from a friend who has since died of breast cancer is its value is far beyond dollar value. THEY NEED TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES' ACTIONS OR THEY SHOULDN'T BE IN BUSINESS. I thought they were apparently a reputable cleaning service. The one in North Hollywood was. Apparently they are instead a bad of thieves. SHAME ON THEM!
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA -- I answered a mailer coupon from We Clean America service. The first time a team of three - a couple and an elderly woman - arrived. They did a superficial job and got through speedily. I appreciated the speed part. Next time only a different couple came. Again they did not do a thorough job but the result was acceptable. I asked to have them again. The next time a different couple showed up. Their appearance was slovenly and their work shoddy. I requested others but the same couple returned the following week.
When I objected I was told by the office that they would send a different crew. On the day they were due to come, the office called saying their team could not find my building. They had gone to a city many miles away. I gave them directions... and they never showed up. I did not call this service again, nor did they try to call me. If you care about efficiency in your home, Stay away!
LOS ANGELES AREA, CALIFORNIA -- We Clean America pats themselves on their back for no reason. Admittedly, locating a reliable house cleaning service company is not an easy task, but when I contacted "We Clean America", the early warning signs should have been the red flag for me.
For 3 months, I had gotten various forms of ads where I had seen "WCA" listed, posted, and discounts for service given. Finally, after deciding to see how their services compared to my current house cleaners, I rang them. According to their advertisements, they move, lift and fold virtually everything. Dusting behind, underneath whatever stands in their way. They also claimed they included up to 4 loads of laundry and will pick up your dry cleaning. All included in their service price. All this, with the convenience of an 800# for customer service which boasts it is open 7 days a week! I was impressed.
Upon calling the 800# for We Clean America at 8:30 am, I had gotten a recording saying that they would return my call shortly. Three days passed, and no sign of a call either on my caller ID or my cell phone (both of which I had left on the message machine). I endure. Calling them again, I decided to retry until I spoke to a live person. After 4 more attempts over a 5 days' period, I finally reach a human. The operator assured me that I should have gotten a call, and that they must have called when I was not at home???
Basically, at this point, I began to become suspicious. Could it be that suddenly, my Caller ID was malfunctioning, only when "WCA" calls? Could they have that secret # that never comes up? I doubt it. The operator took my request and set me up with an appt for 3 weeks from the date I called (apparently their soonest availability). The day arrived and went when I was to receive my wonderful house cleaning. Never mind that I took the day off from work to assure the entry and observe the cleaning practices. However, I called to reschedule, and even after repeated begging, they still could not squeeze me in for another week.
One week later, the cleaning service arrives. Now, the only inconvenience with this so far was the fact that I took 2 days off in 2 weeks to have the service, so it's still tolerable (I'm a tolerant person). When they arrived, I see a woman and her husband (neither of which understand nor can speak English). I am okay with this, because I can make effective hand gestures. BUT - I do realize at the same time that this is very unprofessional for the company to NOT ask if I can speak a foreign language before they send out someone who cannot communicate with me.
After 1 hour of struggling with gestures and motions, I finally have them doing what needs to be done. In under two hours they complete the task of cleaning a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house. I am amazed at the speed. I pay them, and they are on their way. Afterward, I venture around the house to inspect their work... Two hours was a long time to spend on a half-cleaned house. Here's a summary:
Cleaning AROUND everything. Not once picking up any objects to clean under. NO mirrors washed, no laundry folded, and no washing done. Vacuuming was half-hearted, and was done with a machine that must have had a belt that was going bad, because I later discovered bits of black rubber on my carpet the next afternoon. Lastly, my stovetop was not touched. There were still bits of food on the stovetop, and only a dull 'swipe' with an unclean dishrag went over it (as seen under the hood light later on).
My summary: This company will hire ANYONE who will work for them apparently. They do not regard experience, as do they find someone who is willing to work for them (probably for next-to-nothing). I would strongly recommend AGAINST using "We Clean America" for your cleaning services.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA -- I hired a cleaning company - We Clean America - because of their attractive ad (see enclosed). However, I was very dissatisfied about the quality of their work as follows:
The work was done poorly and was incomplete. At exactly the end of two hours, they picked up their cleaning supplies and left. When I objected that they didn't finish, they said, "we'll clean it next time..." I argued that they could spend another five minutes to finish cleaning the window. They said no and left. I also had to go around the house and put things back on counters and shelves which they messily replaced after cleaning.
I had a clearly marked bag of recyclables in my kitchen. They took it. They later claimed they thought it was trash, but when I looked inside my trash bin, all I saw was the trash they collected while cleaning. My feeling is they took it for themselves.
One of the cleaners broke a ceramic jewelry dish (by designer Laurel Burch which cannot be replaced). I heard the 'crash' of ceramic on the wood floor. When confronted they said "it was already broken." I said that I heard the crashing sound it made and that I would not keep broken ceramic pieces - they would be thrown away. But they insisted it was already broken. I'm very angry at this. This was a blatant lie.
This company requires payment up front as you can read on the enclosed form. You get a discount if you buy two sessions which I did, again, based on their attractive ad.
Afterwards, I contacted ** who either owns or manages the business. During the many conversations we had, she absolutely refused to assist me in resolving any of the issues. I asked about the broken ceramic. She said all I could do was sue the house cleaners that they are contracted workers and she is not responsible for ANYTHING that they do. I said that since they worked for her company, she should be responsible for any complaints her customers would have.
I brought up the fact that if I was as satisfied with the service, I would have hired them on a weekly basis and that I would certainly be happy to recommend them. Again she refused to do anything for me. Don't businesses want to establish a repeat clientèle? And what about the motto, "the customer is always right." I have my own business and this is how I run it - if any client is not satisfied, I will redo the work until the job is completed to their satisfaction.
** gave me the name and phone number of the cleaner, ** (323-496-5676). She said I would have to deal with him directly with any problems. I called him and told him how dissatisfied I was with the work but was even more upset that my ceramic was broken. I told him that ** suggest I sue him for the broken ceramic. He laughed and said go ahead! Any future attempts to contact him were met with an immediate hang-up. I checked with the Better Business Bureau and found that WE CLEAN AMERICA has an "F" rating. I have enclosed the BBB report. The BBB did all they could for me but since ** refused to work with them, nothing was resolved.
She eventually had the owner of the company contact me - a very angry and threatening man who told me in a loud and shouting manner that if I don't stop contacting them, they will get a restraining order against me, take me to court, etc. Whenever I tried to speak, he would speak over me and just repeat this same message. Here is a company with what I feel is a fraudulent advertisement that has an "F" rating from the BBB, and will not work with their clients to resolve any matters. Are there laws against this? Where does the work ethic come in? Why are companies allowed to get away with this sort of conduct?
I contacted many agencies, including the Department of Consumer Affairs. Unfortunately, nothing was done for me. It seems that this company is going to continue running its business this way and I know that clients will encounter the same type of service and behavior as I have. I contacted a law firm and as we spoke, we came up with the idea that companies should have a rating system similar to what the restaurants have - A, B, C ratings that are displayed in the front of the restaurant. These ratings should appear on these ads. I got this ad in a mailer. If I had checked with the BBB prior to hiring this company, I certainly would not have hired them.
SHERMAN OAKS -- Terrible agency, they don't screen or train their employees (to be exact - independent contractors) and are not responsible for their actions. So all damages and theft - not their responsibility. Might as well get someone from a street to clean your house and carry out stuff with no consequences... Manager ** is extremely rude and unprofessional - stay away from this company! I am surprised they are still in business...
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA -- I used this company for over 10 years, basically decent work. When I came home to find the garbage disposal inoperative, they took the cleaners' word that they had done nothing. I can't afford substantial repairs caused by the cleaners so I canceled the service.
THOUSAND OAKS, CALIFORNIA -- I have yet to read anything good about this company. But as their price and promise compared well to other companies in the same arena, I decided to try them out. A 3 bedroom/2 bath home for $60 the first visit and $70 subsequent visits (biweekly) sounded like a great deal, only because no one I know gets that price in a licensed company. I won't do the unlicensed route.
There was only one negative, in that my appointment time was indeed changed. I made an appointment for a Saturday at 9 a.m., and was called two days before, informed that it would have to be 11-12. That didn't work for our time, so I switched to the Monday after. They would have done it on Saturday afternoon, Sunday morning, etc. But I got to choose another good time for us. No whoop.
Unlike the other complainers, I've yet to have a problem with getting in contact with a human. Every time I've called, it has been picked up within 3 rings and I've spoken to a polite individual that was not rushed. In fact, two representatives called me in order to change my appointment, both apologized profusely, and were very polite in the exchange.
Based on speaking to the representative upon making my first appointment, and reading the fine print on the coupon, I'm aware that they do not do laundry for free, nor do they wash the inside and outside of every window in your home. Maybe due to the other complainers, they have removed that promise from their advertisement The couple that came was polite and understood English well. I had two areas of concern, and they addressed them perfectly. Items were moved and cleaned around. The only items not removed were the range guards on the stove, and I will simply inform them of this next time and it will be done.
I will continue to use this company, but I do understand the complaints. I don't have a conflict of interest with schedule, as I work from home. I'm also not the sort to expect perfection when I'm only paying $70 for a two-team force that comes for 2 hours to clean my own. It's a deal. And we need to be realistic in our expectations. Just wanted to balance out the other complaints, as the way I interpret it, you can't expect a $100 job from a $60 coupon, and it's unfair to.

To: Campus Community
From: President Don Kassing
Subject: Presidential Directive 2011-01, Use of University Facilities and Outdoor Spaces for Special Events, Activities, and Programs
University facilities and outdoor space are governed by the policies of the Board of Trustees and San José State University, and exist for the primary purpose of serving a planned and scheduled program of educational activity on behalf of SJSU students, faculty and staff. When not required for regularly planned educational or research programs, facilities or outdoor space may be made available for use, via a facilities use lease, by campus units, student organizations, and non-SJSU affiliated entities.
The intent of this policy is to outline the conditions under which SJSU permits the use of facilities and outdoor space – for both campus and external requestors – outside the context of regularly planned and scheduled educational or research programs. This policy is a living document and will be revised periodically as needed to accommodate changing environments and circumstances.
As stated in the policy for Space Management and Allocation at San José State University, PD-2006-02 ( http://www.sjsu.edu/president/directives/current/pd0602.html):
"Space is a university resource… [to be] deployed in the most efficient and effective manner to serve programmatic and strategic goals… [and] will change to achieve optimal utilization and respond to current and emerging needs."
The university's Space Management and Allocation policy further notes that "space is a central resource to the campus… [and is] an enormous asset crucial to the operations of the campus." As a result, PD 2006-02 identifies the university's principles, practices, and oversight for managing space and making space allocation decisions within the university broadly defined – i.e., state-supported and non-state-supported facilities.
Closely aligned with the university's policy regarding internal allocation and management of space is the university's policy on Time, Place and Manner Regulations, PD-2001-01 ( http://www.sjsu.edu/president/directives/current/pd0101.html), also subtitled Use of Buildings and Grounds of San José State University. The intent of the Time, Place and Manner policy is to ensure that use of university space and facility resources allow the university's mission of teaching, learning, scholarship, and research to be accomplished effectively.
In attempting to manage space and facilities, and to ensure their effective use towards the accomplishment of the university's mission, one dimension that is often complicated and sometimes controversial is the use of space for activities that are not necessarily part of or required for regularly planned educational or research programs. These activities can involve a wide array of programs, departments, attendees, and other stakeholders. They can range from activities that are offered directly by departments to current SJSU students, faculty, staff, and alumni, to activities that are offered by entities with no SJSU affiliation for attendees from entirely outside the university community, with a host of other possibilities between these extremes.
Towards this end, this use policy articulates operating definitions, policies, and practices that enable clear, consistent, and appropriate implementation of facilities use guidelines across the campus community and beyond.
A. Definitions
Campus Unit: Any officially recognized SJSU organizational unit (e.g., Division, College, School, Department) that exists within the university's defined organizational structure. State-funded campus units are funded by the CSU Operating Fund. Non-state-funded campus units are not funded through the CSU Operating Fund, but include programs or departments that are self-supporting through Revenue Trust funding and units that are separately chartered 501(c)(3) auxiliaries of the university.
Student Organization: Any club or other officially recognized group whose membership is comprised predominantly of current SJSU students, and that is registered with the Student Involvement (SI) office as active for the current semester.
Non-SJSU Affiliated Entity: Any individual, group, or organization that is not affiliated with SJSU in any official or unofficial capacity.
University Sponsor: Any campus unit, state-funded or not, that agrees to support, in writing, a space use request. A University Sponsor assumes responsibility for the event, including any consequences that arise from the event activities. A University Sponsor must be a campus unit as defined above; an individual may not serve as a University Sponsor.
University Facilities: Any grounds, buildings, structures, or other facilities owned and operated by San José State University or an affiliated auxiliary, including but not limited to Spartan Shops, Student Union, SJSU Research Foundation, Tower Foundation, Spartan Foundation, and Associated Students.
Regularly Planned Educational or Research Programs: "Normal" state-supported university activities that are conducted during official business hours, which the university defines per this policy as M-Th. 7:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m, F 7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. for most units. Activities include regularly-scheduled instructional programs such as state-supported classes, laboratory, or other instructionally-related activities; on-going programmatic activities run through the university divisions; and professional scholarly activities that are instrumental to faculty scholarly endeavors.
Direct Costs: Out-of-pocket, incremental expenses that are readily identifiable and attributed to the event or activity. These include, but are not limited to, items such as additional staff time for custodial and safety services, incremental cost of utilities, cleaning service supplies, and other labor costs (e.g., contracted services, overtime, audio/visual or other equipment rental, movers, planners). Direct cost calculations and rates for custodial, utilities and other rate-based services are found at http://www.sjsu.edu/fdo/docs/facility_lease_direct_cost_rate_sheet.pdf These rates will be reviewed annually by the university's Space Advisory Committee.
Indirect Costs: "Soft costs" that the university incurs, but that do not necessarily result in direct, out-of-pocket expenditures that are attributable to a specific event or activity. Indirect costs are also referred to as room rates and cover, but are not limited to, items such as normal wear and tear, accrued maintenance costs, other set-up costs, and planning support. Room rates are shown found at http://www.sjsu.edu/fdo/docs/facility_lease_indirect_cost_rate_sheet.pdf. These rates will be reviewed annually by the university's Space Advisory Committee.
B. Requesting Use of Facilities
University facilities and outdoor space are governed by the policies of the Board of Trustees and San José State University, and exist for the primary purpose of serving a planned and scheduled program of educational activity on behalf of SJSU students, faculty and staff. When not required for regularly planned educational or research programs, facilities or outdoor space may be made available for use, via a facilities use lease, by campus units, student organizations, and non-SJSU affiliated entities.
Use of university facilities or outdoor space must not interfere with the educational activities and mission of the university. The university's right to use facilities at any time to advance the educational mission of the institution for its students always takes precedence over uses of university facilities and outdoor space for activities less or not related to the university mission. As a result, first priority for use of facilities or outdoor space shall go to campus units. The university reserves the right to modify or cancel reservations by non-SJSU affiliated entities accordingly. Requests for reservations by non-SJSU affiliated entities must be received no less than 30 days before the intended use date.
B.1. Campus Units may request to use university facilities for activities that are directly related to their unit's core mission. The following categories describe requests for use of university facilities by campus units, the review and approval process required for each, and the respective costs that will be charged to the requesting units.
- Campus Units Funded through the CSU Operating Fund. Typically, there is no charge for facilities use requests for regularly planned educational or research programs as defined above. Exceptions will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the University Space Advisory Committee (SAC), and direct costs may be charged if the event sponsor receives fees or other revenue for the event, if the event is outside official business hours, or if other factors (e.g., estimated number of attendees, event duration) result in significant direct costs.
- Campus Units Funded through self-support activities (i.e., non-CSU Operating Funds). Self-support Campus Units are required to pay direct and indirect costs per the room rate schedule shown in Appendix B. University programs and courses that are offered by state-supported units through International and Extended Studies (IES) may be reviewed by SAC to consider modification and/or exemption from this facility use charge.
- Requests from individual faculty and/or staff. Individual requests to use university facilities must be sponsored by the individual's respective reporting unit, and must be reviewed by the unit's appropriate administrator for approval. Sponsorship of any event requires the signature of the Dean, the Vice President, or the President, respectively, as the appropriate administrator for the request. Costs charged for these events follow the guidelines in the two preceding paragraphs regarding the sponsoring Campus Unit. These activities are expected to be predominantly for attendees who are current SJSU students, faculty and/or staff. Requests for use of facilities to host grant-funded activities that are directly related to employees' regular duties and assignments require further review, and as a result are not governed explicitly by this policy at this time; the policy will be revised and updated once that review is completed.
- Requests from student organizations. Requests from student organizations require the written approval of the organization's faculty or staff advisor. Requests from individual students must be made through an officially recognized student organization. If conducted outside of official business hours, registered student clubs and organizations hosting special events are required to pay the full direct costs, if any, required to support the event. If more than 50% of the expected attendees for the event are not university students, faculty, and staff, the event sponsor is required to pay the university's indirect costs. This provision does not apply to regular membership meetings or to informal student use of small group study or meeting spaces. Student groups that are not currently registered through the Student Involvement office are considered Non-SJSU Affiliated Entities.
B.2. Non-SJSU Affiliated Entities may request to use SJSU facilities for various events, programs, or other activities. Depending on the purpose, requestor, campus sponsorship (or lack thereof), and/or other factors, these requests may or may not be approved. If approved, organizations submitting these requests are required to pay, at a minimum, the direct and indirect costs. In some instances, an additional surcharge may also be required. In all cases, the university reserves the right to modify or cancel reservations by non-SJSU affiliated entities.
- Sponsored Requests from Non-SJSU Affiliated Entities. External entities' requests to use university facilities that have a recognized University Sponsor will be considered for approval. University Sponsors for requests from Non-SJSU Affiliated Entities are expected to pay 25% of the facilities use charge.
- Non-sponsored Requests from Non-SJSU Affiliated Entities. Requests from Non-SJSU Affiliated Entities that do not have a recognized University Sponsor require review and approval by SAC.
B.3. University facilities shall not be used by campus units, student organizations, non-SJSU affiliated entities, corporations, nor any other organizations or individuals to conduct private business, nor to raise money for projects not connected with a university purpose, except as permitted by university policy and specifically authorized by SAC.
All requestors of university facilities – campus units, student organizations, and non-SJSU affiliated entities – must agree to be financially responsible for damage or other unanticipated costs associated with the use. Following university risk management policies, all campus units hosting activities, events and programs understand that SJSU is self-insured and that the risk pool deductible will be drawn from the respective university division if a claim arises out of the specific activity for which the use is being requested. In other words, by agreeing in writing to serve as a University Sponsor, a campus unit accepts the risks associated with that event.
Non-SJSU affiliated entities are required to obtain appropriate insurance coverage and to indemnify the university, its officials and employees for any claims resulting out of the use of the university's facilities.
Non-SJSU affiliated entities are not allowed to reserve spaces and/or facilities during final examination periods, the first week of each academic semester, and all dates of any university Commencement-related activities.
C. Reservation Procedures
The following procedures apply to reservations requested by campus units (perhaps on behalf of faculty, staff or students), registered student organizations, and non-SJSU affiliated entities. Depending on the nature of the activity and/or the status of the requesting entity, proof of appropriate insurance coverage may be required at the time the request is submitted.
1. Indoor Space: The process for requesting space is shown
in Appendix A. Requestors seeking to reserve an indoor
university facility/space should first contact the building
coordinator responsible for that location and follow any policies
and procedures established for that site. If FD&O
determines that a Facilities Use Lease must be executed, the terms
are not negotiable. The appropriate fees are to be paid in
advance of the event to obtain final approval of the use. In
the case of a government entity, school district, or non-profit
organization, a purchase order may be accepted pending completion
of event. For SJSU campus units, a valid account number is
Requestors seeking to reserve Morris Dailey Auditorium must contact the Student Union Event Services Office to obtain a request form for that facility. Requests to use Morris Daily Auditorium require written authorization from the Office of the President. If cash handling or other forms of financial transactions will take place on site, the requestor will be required to have and pay for University Police Department (UPD) presence for the duration of the event, with actual costs to be determined based on UPD's review of the security needs for the event.
2. Outdoor Space: Campus units and student organizations
requesting a reservation of an outdoor university facility/space
must complete a reservation form and submit the form, plus proof of
insurance if needed. Campus units and external organizations
must contact the Facilities, Development and Operations office to
process the request. Student organizations must contact the
Student Union Event Services Office. Non-SJSU
affiliated entities requesting an outdoor facility/space must
submit a Facility Use Application, plus proof of insurance, to
FD&O for review no less than 30 days before the intended use
date. A Facilities Use Lease3 must be executed, the terms of
which are not negotiable, and the appropriate fees are to be paid
in advance of the event to obtain final approval of the use.
In any outdoor event where tenting is involved and the number of participants (workers and attendees) is expected to exceed 300, the requestor must submit a drawing of the layout and request a permit from FD&O. FD&O will review the request and seek approval by the State Fire Marshall, including any stipulations for special conditions such as cooking, stage, seating, etc.
3. Security and Safety Assessment: If one or more of the following characteristics of the event exist, the organizer must contact SJSU University Police Department (UPD) prior to submitting the request for the facility use lease to enable an assessment of potential security needs, including estimated costs to the organizer.
- The event is expected to have 300 or more people in attendance.
- Admission fees are collected or other on-site cash handling will occur.
- In the opinion of the organizer, the event might require security.
- A security assessment is determined by a university official to be appropriate.
In all such instances, UPD must certify on the application form that this review has been completed prior to university approval of the space reservation. If UPD recommends that security be provided for the event, UPD will provide a brief description of the expected arrangements and estimated costs. Such costs shall be the responsibility of the event organizer as a condition of approval of the reservation, along with any other required costs.
4. Code Assessment: Facilities Development and Operations will review and approve and, when needed, coordinate State Fire Marshall approval for large congregations.
5. Approval Subject to Review: At all times, any reservation approval is contingent upon full compliance with all university policies and all reservation requirements. The university reserves the right to disapprove the request (or terminate the reservation) of any entity that fails to comply with university policies or state or federal law, or which has damaged university facilities at any time.
D. Additional Facility Use Policies
1. Unauthorized Events. Any campus unit found to be hosting an event using university space without authorization through procedures defined in this policy will be charged $1,000, following the university's verification of the unauthorized event. In addition, retroactive direct and/or indirect costs associated with the event will be charged in most cases per procedures described above. Liability associated with such unauthorized events is described in item #6 below.
2. Organizer Presence Required: The organizer of an approved event must be present for the duration of the event with a copy of the approved reservation form, and must present the form to UPD if requested. The event may be terminated by UPD for failure to have a copy of the approved reservation form on the premises.
Campus units that agree to serve as a University Sponsor for an outside entity are responsible for supervising the event or activity. If the campus unit does not have the ability to supervise the event, the event must be canceled. SJSU employees are prohibited from lending building/facility keys to any outside entity.
3. Alteration of university property: Alteration or physical modification of university property is not permitted. To prevent damage to university infrastructure or grounds, FD&O must approve the erection of tents or any temporary structures. No group is allowed to affix anything, temporary or permanent, that requires nails, screws, glue, paint, etc.
4. Decorations: The organizer must have decorations approved and/or facilities inspected for safety in advance by FD&O. Decorations must be removed by the event coordinators at the end of the event.
5. Property Damage: Any group or individual that causes damage to university property must pay any charges necessary to return the property to its original state. University employees, students or organizations may be subject to disciplinary action if university property is damaged during an event hosted or sponsored by the respective campus unit.
6. Liability Coverage. With an approved facilities use request and properly executed lease and insurance certificate as appropriate, a requestor's liability for the event falls within the university's defined liability and risk management policy, which holds divisions responsible for a portion of the university's $500,000 deductible per event. If the facilities use request has not been authorized by the university in advance and/or the lease and insurance certificate has not been fully executed, the liability and risk management for the event will charge the full actual liability, up to the maximum $500,000 university deductible, to the division in which the activity was held.
7. Organizer Arrangements: The hosting campus unit shall be responsible for coordinating special power requirements, access to restrooms, adequate waste receptacles, and planning for inclement weather. Many campus buildings are closed after hours and on weekends/holidays; therefore, power and restrooms are not readily available when not appropriately scheduled and requested. If waste receptacles are overflowing after an event, then the requester or university sponsor group will be charged the additional cleanup costs incurred by the department that operates the facility/outdoor space.
8. The usage of port-a-toilets shall not normally be approved for use on the main campus of SJSU. In certain circumstances, especially for large outdoor events, port-a-toilets may be permissible, but must be emptied daily, have constant security, and be removed immediately following the end of the event.
9. Any event that involves food and drink (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) must have an approved Student Union and Spartan Shops Food or Beverage Agreement approved and a copy submitted with the Facility Use Lease request.
E. Sound Regulations on Campus and Related University Space Use Policy
1. University entities and non-university entities must respect others' rights by not creating noise disturbances on the campus or around residences. The university sound regulations apply to outdoor campus events that may potentially cause noise disturbances regardless of whether or not amplified sound is used (e.g., outdoor music performances).
2. End of Semester Policy: Outdoor events which could create noise disturbances on campus will not be approved after the last day of classes through the end of finals each Fall and Spring semesters.
F. Filming and Photography on Campus
Other than occasional casual and personal photography, any use of university facilities or grounds for filming or photography purposes, requires the submission of a Facilities Use Request form.
1. The Associate Vice President for Public Affairs must approve all amateur, professional, or commercial photography, filmmaking, digital imaging, or videotaping on the university campus that is not a SJSU class assignment. Such approval must be submitted with the Facility Use Lease.
2. If approved in advance via a lease/permit, commercial photography, videotaping, digital imaging or filming may be permitted on the campus or university-owned or managed property as long as such activity does not interfere with the educational and research mission and normal operations of the university. The use of the photography or filming must be consistent with the interests of the university.
3. Written permits are not required for regular television news coverage or filming or photography related to the academic work of students as part of their academic program.
4. Written permission is required for non-news coverage or non-instructional videotaping or photography of students, faculty or staff who are included and identifiable in any photograph in non-public areas. Model releases are to be signed by the individuals who are being filmed for this type of photography.
5. Anyone wishing to film on campus for commercial purposes must submit detailed information about the proposed project in writing, including locations; days and hours of shooting; number of people involved in each day's shooting; type of activity to be filmed; list of equipment and vehicles used in connection with the filming; and number, and size and composition of structures involved. This information and a script must be submitted to the Associate Vice President for Public Affairs for review at least 30 days before the filming. The request must be submitted as part of the facility use application and is subject, at a minimum, to the terms of the university lease form.
6. Filming requests should be referred to the Public Affairs office . The Associate Vice President for Public Affairs will evaluate the request and consider potential logistics issues in coordination with appropriate university offices. Whenever possible, productions should be scheduled on weekends and during vacation periods. First consideration will be given to those productions which best complement San José State University's role as Silicon Valley's premiere public university. The university encourages the use of students as extras and production assistants for film productions. The university also encourages representatives of production companies to make themselves available for discussion of their work with professors and students.
7. No identification of San José State University as the site of commercial filming will be permitted, whether for television commercials or movies, theatrical films, or still photography, except upon request made in a timely manner to the Associate Vice President for Public Affairs. The Associate Vice President may approve such a request when the proposed identification is determined to be in the university's interests. Such requests for San José State identification should clearly specify how the identification would be made and in what subject matter context.
8. No trademarked logos or icons, widely recognizable landmarks or sensitive locations of the university shall be filmed, photographed, or otherwise reproduced, including, but not limited to, university landmark signs.
9. All commercial filming will be charged a San José State University Film Permit Fee and a Location Management Fee that relates to the length of time of the project and amount of necessary university supervision. Fees are determined on a case-by-case basis by the Office of Public Affairs.
10. The Vice President for Administration & Finance will review all contracts to ensure that appropriate fees are established, and that a proper payment schedule has been established that includes deposits and fees.
11. Additional fees for university services requested or required, such as police, grounds restoration, traffic control, parking, and any other university services rendered shall also be charged to the user.
12. The university reserves the right to require production companies to make a damage deposit prior to the arrival of any production vehicles on campus. The damage deposit will be refunded in full when the shooting locations are inspected by university officials and found to be in satisfactory condition.
13. Weddings are considered to be amateur, professional, or commercial filming and are required to obtain approval from Associate Vice President for Public Affairs.

Betty McKibben, 84
Betty L. Rubrake McKibbin, 84, passed away Sunday, Nov. 20 at Borgess Pipp Hospital in Plainwell, Mich.Betty was born Oct. 9, 1927, to Lawrence E. and Pearl Blew Rubrake, one of the family's 16 children.Betty worked as a bookkeeper for C.W. Schrader Auto in Columbia City, Grace P. Pauley Clothing Store in St. Joseph and R & M Heating & Cooling in Coloma.Betty married Dale McKibbin on July 31, 1954, and to them was born two sons, Mark (Amy) McKibbin of Plainwell and Brian McKibbin of Muskegon.

Jewels of the Desert
The new book on Egyptian Arabian horses. Text & photography: Judith Wich.
With a foreword by Sheikh Abdul Aziz Bin Khaled Bin Hamad Al-Thani and an introduction by Judith Forbis. Published in 2008 by Orienta Publications, Germany. 176 pages with 135 colour photos and lithographies. Decorated with Arabian calligraphy. English language. Size ca. 25,6 x 25,6 cm. Hardcover with dust jacket and book-mark. First edition.
Price 69,- Euro (excl. postage and packing)
This book is a must for every Arabian horse enthusiast! In her first chapter, Judith Wich introduces us to the Egyptian Arabian and its timeless fascination. Thereafter, the author provides a short history of Egyptian Arabian horses and gives us an insight into their glorious past. In the chapter "A Journey to the Arabian Gulf" Judith Wich takes us on a travel to the Gulf region. This guide to spectacular stud farms in Qatar, Kuwait, the U.A.E. etc. will delight and inform all those interested in exquisite bloodlines and beautiful horses. While the whole book is lavishly illustrated with colour pictures, its extensive "Photo Gallery" is especially appealing. Large sized portraits of impressive straight Egyptians - often in Middle Eastern settings - are a feast for the eyes. A clear, modern book design with arabesque elements underlines the elegance and nobility of the pictured horses.
"Jewels of the Desert" includes many photos of legendary Egyptians like Al Adeed Al Shaqab, Alidaar, Ansata Hejazi, Ashhal Al Rayyan, NK Hafid Jamil, Ansata Iemhotep, Ansata Nile Pasha, Ansata Selket, Ansata Majesta, El Thay Bint Kamla, Farres, Gelgelah Albadeia, Imperial Phanilah, RN Farida and many more ...

I have a romantic relationship with a girl who I love very much and I hope to marry her soon, if Allah wills. My question is: On a certain day, which is the 15th of the blessed month of Ramadan every year, we call this day the day of joy and love. Can we celebrate this day as a happy occasion and regard it as a blessed day? Can we ask those whom we invite to the party to pray to Allah to bring us together in goodness and happiness?.
You are asking about the ruling on your celebrating this occasion; why did you not ask about the ruling on your "romantic" relationship with a girl who is a non-mahram to you?!
This is what is basically wrong in your situation, this haraam relationship with a girl who is a non-mahram to you. Your relationship with her will remain haraam unless she becomes your wife. So it is not permissible for you to be alone with her, or to spend time with her, or to look at her, or to enjoy talking to her, because she is a non-mahram to you. Fear Allah with regard to yourself and your religious commitment; do not betray yourself on the basis of illusions of joy and blessing!
What joy, what blessings can there be when you and this girl are disobeying Allah?!
See the answer to questions number 47405 and 59907, as well as the section on relationships between the sexes on this website, in which you will find a lot of answers about that.
Once you know that this romantic relationship with a girl who is a non-mahram is a relationship which is haraam from the outset, then everything that is based on falsehood is also falsehood.
We would go further and say: If the love relationship that you are speaking about was with a permissible wife, then celebrating this day that you are asking about would be reprehensible innovation. We have no Eids except Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, and our weekly 'Eid, which is Jumu'ah.
Keep yourself busy, instead of celebrating love, by hastening to get married, if you are in love with her and she is suitable to be a Muslim wife to you who will adhere to the commands of Allah with you.
We ask Allah to keep us and you safe from temptation, both apparent and hidden.
For more information on celebrating Valentines Day, please see the answer to question number 73007.
And Allah knows best.
