More bikeways or more highways?
founder/captd First of all, call them EPAMD, electric personal assistive mobility device, as defined in CVC 21280.5. Second, I'm going to disagree with you on this one. Caltrans manages more than 50,000 miles of highway and freeway lanes. They have been doing it for over a century, not just decades, in it’s current incarnation and thru it's predecessor agencies. That IS their mission, inter-city movement of people and commerce. They have NO business being involved in intra-city movement, "personal mobility" as you called it. That must be left to the local jurisdictions, such as SANDAG in your case. Local transportation issues are just that, local. They need to be managed locally. Caltrans isn’t around to help Sand Diego improve its internal transportation corridors. Also, I believe that Articles XIX A and XIX B pertaining to the use of public transportation funds may not even allow it. To say that the use of the term bike lane is elitist is absolute crap. Officially dedicated bike lanes were built for bikes. CVC 21207.5 prohibits motorized bicycles, gas or electric, from being operated on a bicycle path or trail, bikeway, bicycle lane, though CVC 21281.5 allows for an EPAMD to be operated on a sidewalk, bike path, pathway, trail, bike lane, street, road or highway at a speed that is “reasonable and prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, pedestrians, and other conveyance traffic on, and the surface, width, and condition of, the sidewalk, bike path, pathway, trail, bike lane, street, road, or highway.” People will never begin using their EPAMD vehicle for their commutes. CVC 313 restricts an EPAMD to a “self-balancing, nontandem two-wheeled device, that is not greater than 20 inches deep and 25 inches wide and can turn in place, designed to transport only one person, with an electric propulsion system averaging less than 750 watts (1 horsepower), the maximum speed of which, when powered solely by a propulsion system on a paved level surface, is no more than 12.5 miles per hour”. There will never be “transportation corridors” built specifically for EPAMD vehicles when they can essentially be driven anywhere.— May 18, 2015 10:06 a.m.
Greywater drain line proposed for Salton Sea restoration

Teams we love to hate
Uh, sorry, but Tom and Gisele sold their house a year ago to Dr. Dre, whom I believe should also be on the list— May 14, 2015 9:42 a.m.
Fix you up good, mahn!
don bauder I understand the issue of brevity. You have said that numerous times when queried why information was left out. I would also think that accuracy or truthfulness would be a key item. Though the fact that he is a former chiropractor was not a significant part of the item, you did choose to include it, so at least you could have written accurately. With less than 250 words used, it seems it would have been no issue to simply state the fact his license was temporarily revoked in 1999. I mean, if you're not going to accurately state what happened, why even bring it up if it's not a "significant part of the item"?? Enough said. Time to move along. Nothing else to see here.— May 13, 2015 4:52 p.m.
Fix you up good, mahn!
don bauder perhaps that is what you were basically told, but simply writing that he lost his license in 1999, without adding the stay of revocation, suspension and probation is not completely accurate, if not just a little disingenuous, don't you think? I mean the term revoked means that the licensee's right to practice has been completely taken away, but revocation is not necessarily permanent and a suspended license does means that you do have a license but your right to practice has been suspended for a period of time, usually for a specified number of days or months and usually would be imposed in conjunction with a lengthy period of probation of two or more years. Not to mention that if he forfeited his license after it expired in 2014, because he failed to pay renewal fee prior to the expiration date, well, you have to actually have a license to forfeit. So while he may have indeed "lost" his license, for a period of time, in 1999, her clearly got it back, and, for whatever reason,did not renew it before the expiration date of November 30, 2014. What you stated was indeed "correct", but it was also inaccurate because you failed to include all the information.— May 13, 2015 8:41 a.m.
Fix you up good, mahn!
don bauder According to information listed on the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners website, formal charges were filed in a disciplinary action in April of 1998 and in March of 1999, his license was revoked, then the revocation was stayed with a suspension and then probation. His license eventually expired on Nov 30 of 2014 and at that time he forfeited his license for failure to pay renewal fee prior to the expiration date of license.— May 12, 2015 10:28 p.m.
U-T to be sold to L.A. Times parent for $85 million
There was a San Diego County edition of the LAT. It started sometime in the 70's as I recall. II was reading it when I was in school down there. It was shut down not to long after the San Diego Union and the Tribune were merged, maybe 6 months or so.— May 7, 2015 10:42 p.m.
La Jolla fabulist earns what he deserves
So the feds know that when he got to San Diego he started creating corporations in the names of other persons in order to hide his assets. And apparently, his girlfriend, his son and and a business associate, as well as their respective companies had some involvement, because they were named as relief defendants. Since they know he transferred assets to other shell accounts under his control, I wonder how much money they have been able to find.— May 6, 2015 9:30 a.m.
Rancho Santa Fe lawyer suspended from practice
don bauder, There was an old listing for an address on San Dieguito Rd. That same address also has the Law Offices of Charles S. LiMandri, who apparently has been at that location for quite a while. Same building different suite, maybe?According to the SEC, McVay listed Alliance Legal Group as his place of employment from 01/1990 - 10/2005 and Rancho Santa Fe Law Group from 03/2008 to the present time— May 5, 2015 5:04 p.m.
Rancho Santa Fe lawyer suspended from practice
Interesting. It looks like when this guy was first classified as Not Eligible To Practice Law, he left the law firm he was at and went into the investment business. He was a registered securities broker in San Diego from 2005 thru 2012 at several different firms. Apparently, he started his own legal firm when he got his license back in 2012. Now he can't practice law, again, and isn't currently licensed to act as a broker or as an investment adviser. Hmmm, a lawyer who keeps losing his license because he doen't pay his CBA dues and skips his child and family support payments. Oh, and I can't forget, Founder, Chairman of the Organizing Committee, and Founding Chairman of the Board of Directors of 11st Pacific Bank of California which the feds took over 5 yrs ago. That's exactly who I would want handling my investments!!— May 5, 2015 9:43 a.m.
