International military bribery scheme uncovered
Misiewicz is a Cambodian who was adopted by a US woman. If this country had not taken him in he would have faced a life of extreme poverty. The ingrate sold his adopted country out for money and prostitutes. This situation is far worse than it seems. Misiewicz disclosed the positions and travel plans of every ship, placing the entire Navy at risk in the event of war. He should be tried for treason and executed if found guilty. http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2010/Dec/05/us-nav…— September 17, 2013 9:11 p.m.
Medical ship commander relieved of duty
Dr. Cogar has impressive credentials. It appears that he's accused of falsifying his own medical records so he could remain in the Navy. He probably had a health issue that he was trying to hide. He's more than paid his dues, having spent a lot of time at sea and serving on a submarine. A real shame. http://www.navyleague-sd.com/cogarbio.htm— September 16, 2013 11:25 p.m.
Senior San Diego Police captain departs for greener pastures
Mills is not quitting the SDPD for another police department. He's going to retire from the SDPD and collect a city pension. On top of his city pension, he will receive a large salary in Eureka plus earn another pension. He's cashing in.— September 14, 2013 1:52 p.m.
OliverMcMillan's foreclosed shopping center goes up for sale
Electronic records are not saved and have no permanence. Most of the electronic images taken since the advent of the internet will disappear with no trace. All the blogs Bauder wrote on Filner's destruction will not exist in a few years. There will be no historical record unless the information is stored on microfiche or microfilm. Microfilm lasts 200 years. Most flash drives fail after a year or two. A single scratch renders a DVD worthless. Film is the only way to preserve historical records. Electronic records are also subject to manipulation and alteration.— September 10, 2013 11:54 p.m.

Here's the link to Cooper's 1968 SEC filing for his corporation, General Computing Corporation. The LA Times article details his business history. I've also read that in the 1960s Cooper bought many parcels of undeveloped land in what ultimately became the "Golden Triangle." I am not defending Cooper or his lifestyle. I don't know the man. I am merely pointing out that he has no college degree and appears to have earned his money. I have been skeptical of wealthy individuals who claim they worked themselves out of poverty as justification for their wealth. Now that the 1940 Census records are on line with addresses, it is possible to find on Google street view the childhood homes of the wealthy and verify whether they were raised in poverty. One wealthy San Diegan who claimed to have an impoverished childhood lived in a 6,000 square foot mansion with three servants, according to the 1940 Census records. His father earned $40,000 a year in 1940. www.sec.gov/news/digest/1968/dig090368.pdf— September 10, 2013 11:10 p.m.

Harry Cooper invented a process that enables financial data stored on magnetic tapes to be automatically converted to microfilm for storage. In 1965 he started a company to capitalize on this technology. His wealth is from the sale of the company. This technology is needed today. For example, the content of the Reader website should be reduced to microfilm before it disappears forever.— September 9, 2013 11:48 p.m.

Combined convention center/stadium? Or neither?
I don't know if this is legal, but perhaps a proposition should be placed on the ballot that would permanently bar the City from constructing another stadium or expanding the convention center. This thing needs to be nipped in the bud so City leaders can focus on their real responsibilities such as infrastructure repair.— September 6, 2013 9:12 a.m.
Hueso, Emerald reconfirm statements on DeMaio behavior
I think Whackergate is going to put the kibosh on DeMaio's political career. He's facing the worst kind of accusation: one that can neither be proven nor disproven. His new name is Kibosh Carl.— August 28, 2013 3:04 p.m.
