For those othe r projects, she says, "If I take something on, it'ss something that has a beginningt andan end." That' unlike Sunrise MarketPlace, which Carpenter can see continuingg long after the next five-year term that starts in Members of the district say they appreciate Carpenter's passioh for Sunrise MarketPlace, her organizationao skills, her attention to detail and her leadership.
She has shown an ability to unite districtboard members, landlords and business "She has her pulse in this says Karen Hamilton, Macy's general manager and vice president and president of the business improvement district board. "She has fire in her It's exciting to work with somebodylike that." Carpentet has developed critical relationshipss with department officials in the city of Citrus Heights and Sacramento County, says Wright, who's also the district's marketinh chairwoman. Carpenter is nice, but assertives enough to get things done, says Don owner of Batteries Plus and chairman of the facilitiees andoperations committee.

“Providing health insurance to all children in America will yieldr substantialeconomic benefits,” wrote Vivian Ho, chair in healthb economics at Rice Universityu and co-author of the report. Researchers at the Bakerr Institute said children who receive healtn care coverage go on to become moreproductive adults. The cost incurred by insuring the childrehn is offset by the increased value of the additionall life years and quality of life gained bymedical coverage, the report stated.
“The up-fronyt incremental costs of universal healthu insurance coverage for children arerelativelyg modest, and they will be offset by the valuew of increased health capital gained in the long the report stated. The research was basesd on studies published in scholarlyg journals examining the economi c impact of failing toinsure U.S. children. Researcherzs estimate that nearly eight million children inthe U.S. are and the nation ranks third among the 30 industrialized members of the Organization for Economi c Cooperation and Development in percentage ofuninsured citizens.
