Don Bauder, how many times have you been to Disneyland. Did you ever take your kids there? If so , what did they think?— November 29, 2012 8:23 a.m.

Job security, priceless
1. As I said, her writing the letter equated to his being "evicted" from Arlington. A waiver being given for Lawrence to interred at ANS wasn't what was causing Clinton problems, it was the granting of 69 other waivers by the Clinton administration between 1993 and 1998 and the allegations by some Republican members of Congress in return for campaign contributions. As I mentioned above, those allegations proved to be false. There are non-veterans buried who are not family members in Arlington. Interment at ANS is highly regulated but between 1967 and 2006, there were 325 burial waivers issued. 2. Actually, it's been there over a century. I didn't realize which house it was. I've been looking at that house from the beach for as long as I can remember. Built in 1902, Lawrence bought it sometime in the '70's and his widow sold it in 2000 for about $5 million and then again in 2003 for around $13 million— November 28, 2012 4:56 p.m.
Escondido woman arrested again
I believe a prior conviction counts as a strike if it was for a serious or violent felony as defined in the CPC— November 28, 2012 7:26 a.m.
Job security, priceless
I realize that it equates to basically the same thing, but I believe that his wife actually wrote a letter to Bill Clinton asking to have his remains exhumed from Arlington. I don't know if anyone remembers, but at that time there was a big stink raised because of allegations that the Clinton administration had allowed a bunch of their largest contributors to essentially buy their way into ANS by granting them waivers. It didn't die down until the Sec of the Army made public the list of everyone granted waivers by the Clinton administration and Lawrence was the only one one the list who was a campaign contributor. As an aside to this, something that perhaps Don Bauder would have the best knowledge of, not that long after his death, didn't Lawrence's widow have a "boyfriend" move in to that big Coronado mansion that was built for her? I think he was a writer or reporter for the UT who ended up getting fired for something he wrote, or something along those lines. As I said, perhaps Don Bauder remembers the scoop on that.— November 28, 2012 7:18 a.m.
SDSU: crime abounds
Well, as I have had some time to do a better mental calculation, I think that when averaging out the length of what most of our subs are and how much we paid, it's probably close to about the $500-$600 a year range at most. So money to burn, money no object? Yeah not so much. Were that the case, we would subscriber to The Economist, or Financial Times or a few other big ass subscriptions. Trust me when I say we don't pay a full sub price on anything. BTW, let me ask. How much does a good gym membership in SD go for these days? $50 maybe $75 a month? Up here a Gold's membership can run that much. That's $600- $900 a year. You gotta have a shitload of money to burn if you are spending that much. LOL— November 26, 2012 7:19 a.m.
SDSU: crime abounds
The Clery Act is a Federal Statute that " requires all colleges and universities that participate in federal financial aid programs to keep and disclose information about crime on and near their respective campuses". They are all required to report this information and these stats using the same matrix for the express purpose of keeping schools from using different different methods of measuring and categorizing crime. The figures sighted in the Clery Report present a far more reliable picture of crime on campus than does an inflammatory "report" on a blog, which is what BI is. The stats are an average od FBI stats from 2008-2011 for public schools only with over 10,000 students enrolled and they have since admitted that crime numbers are elevated at schools where campus police jurisdiction includes neighboring off-campus areas, such as UCLA and Berkeley. I'm curious as to why you chose to report this particular list. A quick search reveals a plethora of most dangerous colleges. None of them not coming from business insider mention UCLA at all and many currently list Penn and Temple as the two most dangerous campuses, neither of which even make business insiders top 25. And yeegads, a few even list Harvard. What is the world coming to!!!! And BTW, maybe it's just semantics, but I wouldn't refer to an internet blog , which is what bi seems to be, as a "publication". Just my opinion. Opinions vary.— November 26, 2012 7:02 a.m.

USC is not included because the list only includes public schools and not private institutions.— November 26, 2012 6:27 a.m.
SDSU: crime abounds
surfpuppy619, the AG is a sworn peace officer. From CPC 830.1 (b): "The Attorney General and special agents and investigators of the Department of Justice are peace officers, and those assistant chiefs, deputy chiefs, chiefs, deputy directors, and division directors designated as peace officers by the Attorney General are peace officers. The authority of these peace officers extends to any place in the state where a public offense has been committed or where there is probable cause to believe one has been committed."— November 26, 2012 6:13 a.m.
SDSU: crime abounds
burwell, that is not what I am trying to say. What I was saying is that despite surfpuppy619's claim to the contrary, there are sworn peace officers in California whose authority extends to any place in the state, as prescribed in PC Section 830. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less and nothing else.— November 26, 2012 5:53 a.m.
