SDNN Was Effervescent Until Drop Dead Day
This builds solid community good will, and if the current UT owners skimp and burn local bridges like they would by shutting down this fund-well they are not very smart IMO. ============== Go to the Secretary of State's website and seach Union-Tribune Shoe Fund, Inc. You will find that it has been dissolved. http://kepler.sos.ca.gov/cbs.aspx— June 4, 2010 10:52 p.m.
Employment Report Suggests Economy Weakening Alarmingly
If the state goes bankrupt or is forced to cut spending, most of the welfare recipients who have moved here from other states will most likely leave. California has 33% of the nation's welfare caseload. California is going broke because the federal government will only fund a maximum of 5 years of welfare benefits for each recipient. In other states, once a recipient reaches the 5 year maximum, s(he) is no longer eligible for welfare in that state. At that point the recipient either finds a job, or relocates to California to go on welfare. In California, with the 5 year federal funding period runs out the state picks up the tab with state tax revenue. If California is to recover, it is imperative that the welfare recipients be driven out of the state by cutting off their benefits.— June 4, 2010 10:09 p.m.

Response to post #52: I am hearing the axe will fall at the U-T today (June 4), but I have no confirmation. =========== Platinum even shut down the Union Tribune Shoe Fund and transferred the assets to the San Diego Foundation, according to the foundation's website. The fund was organized in the 1930s to provide shoes to the poor.— June 4, 2010 9:40 p.m.

The ink stained wretches probably decided to continue writing without pay, in the hope that they will be rehired if Senturia finds a knife catcher to buy SDNN.— June 4, 2010 9:25 p.m.
Local Biotech Executive Lied about Test, Says SEC
She earned "only" $500K a year? That's insufficient? ============= Dragon had an enormous amount of experience and commanded a salary that reflected that. I assume that she could have quit Sequenom and obtained an equivalent salary at another drug company and earned an honest living. She also could have earned equivalent stock options at another drug company without having to commit a felony. My point is that no rational person with her background and reputation would commit a felony when she could have found a new job with the same compensation and stock options. When government contractors tried to bribe Abe Lincoln during the Civil War he always forced himself to leave the room before they reached his price. Dragon sold herself for next to nothing. She should have left the room.— June 3, 2010 10:24 p.m.
Local Biotech Executive Lied about Test, Says SEC
According to the proxy at the SEC website, Dragon never earned more than $500,000 in any year she worked at the company. Her stock options appear to be worth at most $600,000, assuming the options are not currently under water. Her financial stake in the company was not large enough to justify the risks she took. She is ruined and will likely never find a job that pays anything.— June 2, 2010 11:33 p.m.
City Trying to Block Deposition of Sanders
If the judge orders Sanders to answer questions, I predict the City will settle with Kessler in short order.— June 1, 2010 8:14 p.m.
