SDSU: crime abounds
Well, surfpuppy, I guess that depends on what your definition of "money to burn" means. To me, it means wasted money. We don't consider it wasted money if it's entertaining or informative. Some of the publications had to do with our respective jobs so now that we are retired,some of those may not be renewed, though I suspect most will. And it's not as expensive as one might think. Haven't you every received one of those "special offers" in the mail, or more likely by email these days? Some of them are actually quite good. How about 3 yrs of SI for $9.99. Or 2yrs of Architectural Digest for $24.99 or Wired for $27.00 for 2 yrs. My best one is Rolling Stone. I have been reading it pretty much from issue one and have been a steady subscriber since college. Sometime around 1999 or so they ran of a lifetime for a couple of years, literally. A lifetime subscription for $99. I mean how do you ever beat that. Now, not everything can be found cheaply. The Economist is butt ugly expensive, a $100 even for a student sub. But to answer your original question, we don't consider it burning money. How much are your CBA dues for 2013? I read it will be $410. So yeah, we spend a little more than twice that, if you average it out. No big deal, we've done pretty well for ourselves.— November 25, 2012 7:19 a.m.

A couple of interesting articles about Business Insider: http://www.marco.org/2011/09/23/business-insider http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2011/09/29/…— November 25, 2012 6:52 a.m.

Well, let me ask you this, Don Bauder. How often have you visited the UCLA campus. When was your most recent visit? How many of you family members matriculated thru UCLA? If any, how long were they there? And finally, have you read the most recent Clery Report for UCLA?— November 24, 2012 9:27 a.m.
SDSU: crime abounds
There is no "up next", Don Bauder. It's part of the Califoria Penal Code: Chapter 4.5 Peace Officers Section 830-832.17 Read it or not, believe it or not, but it is what it is. There are peace officers whose authority extends to any place in the state, including CHP, UC and CS officers, among others. As I said, read it or not, believe it or not, but it is what it is.— November 24, 2012 9:12 a.m.
Twinkie Sales Report from Clairemont
I say, fatcatsagat. I rather do believe you mean bollocks, as in " you seem to have bollocksed that one up, old boy", or " this is a real dog's bollocks, isn't it". Cheerio lads.— November 24, 2012 8:16 a.m.

I know a little of this campus also, Visduh, having a wife who earned her 2nd masters there in the 90's and 2 daughters who earned the undergrad and grad degrees there, the most recent being this past spring. There will be no "massive reaction". UCLA issued a statement and I don't expect anything else. http://www.businessinsider.com/most-dangerous-col… The story will get no traction up here. Search the LAT or any of the local TC news websites. You'd be hard pressed to even find it mentioned. Same with Cal. Ask yourself this. How many people do you know who read Business Insider? Do you? Between the 2 of us, my wife and I subscribe to easily a hundred publication, probably more if we took the time to actually count them all. Business Insider is not one of them. As I said, over the last 15+ yrs, both mi wife and out 2 daughters were there and I can say that I would not hesitate at all to have them there. IMO UCLA is a safe as any campus and safer than most.— November 24, 2012 7:12 a.m.

UCPD's have state-wide jurisdiction and authority. Their primary jurisdiction, obviously, are to UC properties and any land within a mile radius of campus boundaries http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?sec…— November 23, 2012 2:45 p.m.
