Navy Makes Losing Bet on Solar

U.S. May Crack Down; Bridgepoint Stock Plunges
But what I do have is some personal insight into the length of time it takes the typical SDSU student to complete a "four year" degree. It exceeds six years, and has for a very long time == On eof the major reasons it takes 6 years to finish a degree at State is that the school does not offer enough classes. It was common for people to have to wait 1-2 years to get a specific class. Don't know if that holds true to day, but it did 25 years ago.— October 11, 2011 2:47 p.m.
Photos of Apparent Suicide at Occupy San Diego (warning: graphic)
By Reader_Web_Admin | == agree with the others, there is no value in the posting of these pictures, especiall the two showing the victim directly. Reader_Web_Admin should be fired.— October 11, 2011 1:19 a.m.
County And Rincon Tribe May Be Sharing Gambling Profits
If adopted, the money, estimated at more than a million dollars per year, will be spent on roads, transportation, ******fire rescue and law enforcement services******, and treatment for compulsive gamblers. === LOL..I KNEW that was where most of this money was going to go-because we KNOW that we cannot have our $200K per year GED educated unskilled cops and firehiners getting paif a market wage of $50K per year.— October 10, 2011 5:49 p.m.
Navy Makes Losing Bet on Solar
The Navy has admitted it failed to consider whether various solar projects it awarded contracts for at several California bases were cost effective. At least, not when spending money received under President Obama's 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. “Officials incorrectly concluded that cost effectiveness was not required for planning Recovery Act energy projects,” says a report by the Pentagon’s inspector general. == Why are gov employees so stoopid? WHY would this even needed to be stated, a cost return ROI??????? Oh, because it is OPM, that' is the only reason.— October 10, 2011 2:47 p.m.
Kessler Case May Be Headed for Settlement
Kessler is suing the City though, isn't that who the lawsuit is against?— October 9, 2011 9:03 p.m.
Kessler Case May Be Headed for Settlement
I think the city will settle rather than go to trial. == Yes!....of course that would be the prudent thing to do, and as I said earlier, in the real world this is what would happen 99% of the time, unless there was a super strong case, then you might want to step up to the table and roll the dice. But you are still rolling the dice, even with a strong case because a jury is unpredictable. But we are dealing with gov employees here. You are under estimating their stoopidity. Never under estimate the stoopidity, the arrogance nor the ignorance of a gov employee.— October 9, 2011 3:23 p.m.
Kessler Case May Be Headed for Settlement
If they settle out of court and pay up that will have to be disclosed, all of it, because it is public funding. All someone needs to do is ask for the info! I just filed a CA public records act/FOIA request today-the judge I sent this request to has 10 days to cough up the info and if she doesn't I will sue her- and she will lose. But local gov's do this all the time-they think they can do whatever they want to do, and the ones in charge think they are kings in little banana republics. Just look at all the public pension systems in CA-including SD- and their refusal to release the info on pensioners who receive $100K plus pensions. There have been at least 15 lawsuits, and 4 appeals cases over this info, and the munis lose every singe time, yet they still keep stonewalling until a lawsuit is filed and a court forces them to turn over the info. Very common in Gov to try to with hold public info, until forced to turn it over.— October 8, 2011 9:05 p.m.
Stars gas station owner gets employees to burn his Ramona house
According to the autopsy, the pressure wave of the explosion ruptured his capillaries and bled “into the lung spaces”: his lungs “super expanded and leaked.” (This is how the medical examiner knew Joe had struck a match near the gas vapors: the close force of the blast had burst his lung tissue.) Joe had dressed in shorts and T-shirt, a sweater, and sneakers. He’d struggled, choking on his final breaths — his nose and throat filled with soot, his hair singed off, one hand “degloved” of its skin, his face blistered by “droplets of burning fluid,” his liver lacerated by the force of being catapulted away from the back door — his charred naked body left with only the collar ring of his T-shirt around his neck, his socks, and the remnants of a tennis shoe on one foot. == That is about as painful a death one could imagine. I have been burned veyr good on my arm, 4 inches and it was intesne pain, unbearable-this guy-what the hell was he thinking.— October 8, 2011 8:47 p.m.
Who caused San Diego's massive power failure September 8?
I was a die hard Raider fan my entire youth, un until 1982 when Davis moved the team. After that I followed them for 2-3 more years-including the Marcus Allen Superbowl victory in 83, but then dropped them all together. I had no respectf for Al Davis being a carpet bagger. The Raider team has had one of the worst decades in NFL history. I think Davis was very smart in so many ways, including always taking top football talent that had problems off the field, or who were not used to their capacity and giving them a second chance. Look at Jim Plunkett, Ted Hendricks, Lyle Alzado, the NFL thought they were washed up or so out fo control they were toxic, but Davis set them straight. Davis was also VERY loyal. The original Raiders center, Jim otto, was still working with the Raiders just a few years ago, been with them for 5 decades. Jim Plunkett still works for the Raiders, as does former superstar wide receiver Cliff Branch and All Pro Defensice back Willie Brown. Once you were a Raider you were family. But the last 10 years Davis lost it, maybe it was alzheimers, or dementia, who knows. I was a proud Raider fan right up until the dumped Oakland and ran to LA over $$$$$$$. there is so much more to Football than just $$$$$. BTW-the line Davis used in 1980 when he signed the deal to love to LA was he needed "luxury boxes" in order for the team to "stay competitive"!!!! Spanos is using the exact same lines today, 31 years later.— October 8, 2011 2:38 p.m.
