don bauder Yes, if you purchased shares, you received a stock certificate.— February 5, 2015 8:50 a.m.

don bauder Must have just been the way I interpreted your comment. When you said he still has a long time in his (presumably) last term, I assumed you were referring specifically to his last term as governor, which of course we all know is also his final term.— February 4, 2015 12:47 p.m.
Cell-phone companies are stealing San Diego parkland
visduh Remember the good old days of spotty coverage and roaming charges? About 20 yrs ago,when we moved from Encinitas to Calabasas, when coming down to visit my wife's aunt in La Jolla, we must have gone thru at least 3 or 4 maybe even a half dozen coverage areas and at least a couple of area with no service. If we went over the hill and down to Malibu, no coverage. Sometimes, coming over the Sepulveda Pass of all places, we would drop calls. And of course, we always seemed to have problems between San Clemente and O'side, more so at night for some reason. And driving from SoCal over to Arizona to visit family? Forget about it. And now? Where don't you have coverage. The same people who seemingly can't live without their smart phones, some of whom seem to have traded brain function for apps, complain about having cell towers on public land, taking up approx a 15' x 15' space with a 30-50 foot tower disguised as something else, bringing in 3-4K per month to which ever public entity owns the space AND providing more capacity/coverage. Some things just make you want to shake your head and go WTF!!— February 4, 2015 9:16 a.m.
Chargers stadium task force "packed"
john oliver The Packers are not owned by a consortium of Green bay residents. The 5,011,557 shares of Packers stock are held by 360,584 stockholders from across the US and in Canada.— February 3, 2015 10:02 p.m.
Chargers stadium task force "packed"
Don Bauder The 360,584 stockholders own 5,011,557 shares. No one is allowed to hold more than 200,000 shares so as to prevent a single individual from gaining control of the team. I own 2 shares. The Packers have been a publicly owned, nonprofit corporation since 1923, when original articles of incorporation were filed with Wisconsin’s secretary of state. The Packers common stock does not include an equity interest, does not pay dividends, can not be traded, has no securities-law protection,is not a tradable stock and therefore does not have a market value, and the stock may only be transferred to an immediate family member or any lineal descendant of a Shareholder. Original NFL bylaws established in the mid-1980s required a controlling owner to own at least 30 percent of the club. Since 2009, NFL bylaws have required of any ownership group that a total family ownership would be at least 30 percent with the controlling owner at 10 percent and his or her family at 20 percent. The Packers are the single exception because their community ownership predates ownership NFL rules that were established in the 80's— February 3, 2015 9:58 p.m.
Jockstrap rant
don bauder, Obviously these guys spend a lot of time in the weight room, at both the college and pro levels. And obviously, the science of nutrition is more advanced than 50-60 yrs ago. And also, some of them just eat a lot, a whole lot more than the average person does. Here's some anecdotal evidence for you. Lawry's up in Beverly Hills hos they teams playing in the Rose Bowl every year for all they can eat prime rib. Generally, the teams put away around 600lbs or so each. A couple of yrs ago, Wisconsin down 793 of prime rib. One guy, 6-5, 325lbs ate 7 24oz portions. That's 10 and a half pounds. So, yeah, I think that the fact that some of these big eat way more than you or I has something to do with it. But, generally speaking, I don't really think enough of it to be puzzled and I don't consider a change that has happened over at least 2 or three decades, probably longer to be a spurt. And I'm sure that with a lot of guys, genetics has something to do with it. If you're really that concerned about it, a couple of years ago, Duke did a study on why swimmers are bigger and faster now than only a couple of decades or so. I'm sure you could draw some conclusions from it.— January 31, 2015 4:41 p.m.

Peevey is 75 or 76. Given the length of time it would would take to complete an investigation and a trial, likely years, Peevey isn't going anywhere "for a long time", as you put it. My guess, Peevey never does any time, hard or otherwise.— January 30, 2015 6:10 p.m.

founder/captd It's reallly no secret that Kathleen Brown sits on the board of Sempra. She's been there about a year and a half. I would doubt that most people know only because most people in California pay no attention to the PUC.— January 29, 2015 4:59 p.m.
