Mark Twain speaks again in St. Louis
visduh, USC, which controls the Coliseum, has already said they would be willing to "accommodate", for a price, a single NFL team relocating to Los Angeles. Pasadena and the powers that control the Rose Bowl has already voted NOT to allow a team to play there. When the NFL solicited proposals from the Los Angeles area facilities, the Rose Bowl committee didn't even bother to respond. Everything I have read says that the Spanos clan has the most support from the other owners for relocation.— December 20, 2015 7:08 p.m.
KPBS and U-T plug Jacobs airport-moving scheme
captd/founder Answer this question for me. Which do you think has the greater likelyhood of occurring in the San Onofre /Pendleton area, a tsunami or a damaging earthquake? Camp Pendleton has a very high earthquake risk, with a total of 440 earthquakes since 1931. The USGS database shows that there have been 8 earthquakes of a 5 or greater magnitude, 6 of those quakes6 or greater, in the last 100 years, and there is a 83.73% chance of a major earthquake within 50km of Camp Pendleton within the next 50 years. The largest earthquake within 30 miles of Camp Pendleton was a 5.6 Magnitude in 1986. A little-known fault called the Clark Fault, runs through eastern San Diego County and is part of the San Jacinto Fault Zone, producing another 5+ earthquake about 10 years ago. The fault runs from Hemet, in Riverside County, to the Salton Sea; Camp Pendleton is about 30 to 50 miles west of the Clark Fault. There is an almost 100 % chance of a major earthquake causing damage San Diego County at some point in the future. There are faults in San Diego county capable of producing a magnitude 7 earthquakes and the San Andres is about 100 miles away and is capable of producing an 8. Yes, storing any nuclear waste near the beach, not on the beach as you claim, is a bad idea. But is it any better an idea to move it "to a much higher elevation and stored far inland instead", an area that is more prone to a potential major earthquake that the beach is to a Fukushima sized tsunami really a "better" idea. I don't happen to think so. BTW, based on previous history, and magnified by BRAC results over the last 20 years, DoD is not going to allow any part of largest West Coast expeditionary training facility to be "taken". Not to mention that with live fire exercises conducted regularly, there is absolutely no chance that a nuclear waste repository would ever be located there.— December 9, 2015 9:11 a.m.
Whoever replaces Fabiani...
Yeah same guy. Has posted on the Reader as David Benz also. Interesting that earlier in the year he claimed that "Spanos has already negotiated a deal with Kroenke to share the Inglewood stadium like the Jets and Giants in Metlife stadium."— December 7, 2015 9:37 p.m.
Whoever replaces Fabiani...
don bauder The quote came straight from an article in today's LAT: http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-la-nfl-meetin…— December 3, 2015 12:23 p.m.
Whoever replaces Fabiani...
don bauder " Late last week, Rams owner Stan Kroenke sent a letter to the six-owner Committee on Los Angeles Opportunities, saying he would be willing to partner with a second team on the Inglewood stadium. He was willing to propose an equity ownership, 50-50 ownership in the stadium — that they would be equal partners in the stadium," Goodell said. "I think that was received well by the membership. That's something they will certainly consider."— December 3, 2015 8:24 a.m.
Whoever replaces Fabiani...
don bauder The figures I have seen put the city of Arlington's contribution at 28.6%, about $325 million. The NFL provided $150 million in financing and Jerry Jones was responsible for the rest. I wouldn't necessarily call 28.6% public participation "highly subsidized". Just my opinion. Opinions vary.— December 1, 2015 7:42 p.m.
Senator wanted pressure on Mitsubishi for failed reactor
don bauder, I don't actually live there any longer. My daughter recently took a new job which brought her down to Irvine, so she lives there and I bought another home in a beach town further north up the coast. But I get your point. But I doubt there would be much chance of spewage. I would think it be more like seepage. That said, yes if there would be spewage, yeas Orange and San Diego counties would be affected and, depending upon the time of year, the prevailing winds could also carry the spewage northeast, possibly in the direction of Salida. So it appears that you are possibly not safe as well.— November 30, 2015 8:40 a.m.
Senator wanted pressure on Mitsubishi for failed reactor
don bauder, perhaps you could query the Obama administration as to why they desire to to close the Yucca Mountain facility, in violation of federal law.— November 28, 2015 8:35 p.m.
Senator wanted pressure on Mitsubishi for failed reactor
Yes I am aware of what SONGS means. I have driven past it probably thousands of times and own a home a few miles away. I made a sarcastic reply to a sarcastic comment. Perhaps it is you who is the catty one, having only joined today.— November 28, 2015 8:29 p.m.
Senator wanted pressure on Mitsubishi for failed reactor
captd/founder Perhaps you shouldn't take yourself so seriously. Remember, I own a home only a handful of miles from SONGS. I don't need a primer in steam generator basics. Flapper made a sarcastic comment about the always vigilant DHS quashing a report of a "nuclear reactor" on I5 and I provided en equally sarcastic reply. Tantum ea quae quaerimus neque maiora nec minora inveniemus.— November 28, 2015 8:24 p.m.
