Shopping Plaza Owner and One Paseo neighbor spends $10,000 to lobby against project
Wow, keep rolling out the interesting facts. this is good journalism, not available anywhere else in San Diego.— January 28, 2013 6:33 p.m.
Large-scale developers of River Bend and One Paseo unite to win favor at City Hall
Good reporting. Keeping an eye on Lightner to see how she bends in the winds of change— January 27, 2013 1:12 p.m.
California sues Manchester's firm; reports show Navy complex push by fired city lobbyist
My main thought on this, other than "GO BOB!", is to tell Todd Gloria to think very hard about a spin on an old adage: Remember, when you offer your 2 cents to the UT, UT says "the enemy (Todd) of my enemy (Filner) is my friend." You gotta learn to hold your mouth, Todd. You don't want to be UT's friend. You're looking too waxed at not being the top dog. You're the lead puppy, that's all. And your sleaze factor is leaking out of your pores.— January 26, 2013 3:57 p.m.

La Jolla billionaire to get the Neil Morgan award
Visduh, You can see some things by looking at their 990 filings. All you need is their EIN: 953699122. Plug that into the Foundation Center's search page: http://dynamodata.fdncenter.org/990s/990search/es…— January 25, 2013 4:34 p.m.
La Jolla oncologist pleads guilty to importing unapproved drug
Here is the FBI report: http://tinyurl.com/a38j7gc Whatever Dr. Bernstein's motive, he was clearly in violation of interstate commerce law. Those laws are clear about purchases of large quantities of foreign-made drugs for purposes of resale or distribution. I can't imagine why he continued after being warned. I know lots of individuals who avoid the Medicare donut hole by buying generic drugs from registered Canadian pharmacies, which provide European-produced drugs that can be had for much better prices than their American-produced counterparts (the Lipitor generic is one example). Some Big Pharma companies go through hoops to bar the generic versions of their patented drugs in the USA, even though they produce and market the same drugs generically in Europe. Our government has a truce with seniors and other patients on this issue: they turn a blind eye to the clearly labeled packages as they come through customs checks. As long as the quantity is obviously for personal use only, obtained by legit prescriptions by an individual's doctor, from registered Canadian suppliers, no problem. This has been the status quo for decades. In some towns near the Canadian border, senior groups participate in "pill runs" on tour busses that cross the Canadian border to pick up prescriptions. Dr. Bernstein is respected and a great doc, but the laws are necessary, because not everyone who will do what Bernstein did is trustworthy, respected, or a great doc.— January 24, 2013 6:42 p.m.
The Best BBQ Sauce
Good analysis of all of the BBQ sauces. At restaurants, my favorite is the Barbeque Pit's clove/red pepper sauce on their wonderful sliced smoked beef. http://www.thebarbecuepitrestaurant.com/ As for your good analyses, for the last three, you are unfortunately paying the most for the smallest amount...that is a lot of $ for a small amount of sauce, and doesn't seem necessary. The ingredients have to be listed on the bottles in order of content, so take a look and see if you can make something similar. BBQ sauce is easy to manipulate. You could buy Stubb's Original and add a few things, such as beer, or lemon juice, or vinegar, and/or chile de arbol (widely available, e.g., Gonzalez Northgate markets). Put a little of the purchased sauce in a small pan and add ingredients and simmer. Now, the sad thing: finding good BBQ meat! i don't like the KC style, and other places I've tried are OK, but not great, sometimes way too greasy. The type I like best is North Carolina smoked pork, with onion/vinegar/celery seed sauce. Anyone know a smokehouse that serves Carolina style Q?— January 20, 2013 5:42 p.m.
City Attorney: OK to release private business e-mail addresses to improvement districts
Well this is great! The City will have to turn over business emails to anyone, not just to the insiders in the business associations. I've often been frustrated by local businesses not having any public email address. Now I know where to go. It's pretty obvious why the BAs want email contacts for businesses. You know that if a local business owner wanted these little strong-arm groups to have email info, he/she would give it to them. This is wrong. I hope someone takes the city to task over it, but not before I get the email addresses I've been wanting....— January 19, 2013 3:10 p.m.
Filner can veto port nominations, city attorney memo says
Harmonized...word of the month from the City Atty's office. During Sanders' terms, when State laws existed that contravened Charter or Municipal laws, the CA's office ignored the fact, if it got in the way of doing whatever some City department wanted to do. No harmonizing under Sanders, unless it worked for them, against the citizenry.— January 19, 2013 3:01 p.m.
