Alliant University's San Diego campus could be sold
Here, point this error out to the "anal about accuracy" reporter and see if he thanks you: "As for those who say I have two much time on my hands......". Oh, the irony. Speaking of that a-word, have the neighbors started complaining yet about those abhorrent odors of envy emanating from you? "If one cannot accept constructive criticism, he/she should get out of the profession." Do let us know what you wind up doing.— October 17, 2013 2 p.m.

Yup, you're right.....no smugness there. Would "pretentious" work better?— October 17, 2013 1:39 p.m.

Knowing when to hold that runaway smugness in check is far more important, dwb.— October 17, 2013 6:46 a.m.
Filner pleads guilty to one felony, two misdemeanor counts
The "beauty of the way" has been waylaid, then. “Inquiry is fatal to certainty.” - William J. Durant— October 16, 2013 8:53 a.m.

Meet the new bat....same as the old bat. (Except for the cloak) Always thought you had some skin in this game, reinforced by this post.— October 15, 2013 9:32 p.m.
Ask Greece about economic gains from Olympics
And the beat goes on: I was watching the ESPN warm-up to the Charger game tonight. Kicking off the happy talk, Chris Berman introduced the broadcast team of Jon Gruden and Mike Tirico by asking if they were ok with the condition of the staging room he had "left" to them after announcing a recent game from Qualcomm. Tirico shot his eyes to the ceiling, then glanced around the room and said "Well, as bad as this place (stadium) is, this room is ok." Marching orders from the league, methinks.— October 14, 2013 6:57 p.m.
Ask Greece about economic gains from Olympics
I am struck by the images of recent Olympic venues that begin decaying the minute the hoopla ends, and still sit unused, an homage to the shortsightedness of the organizers, Beijing and Greece being the most recent examples. And I understand that flights departing London immediately prior to the games staged there far exceeded incoming ones. Many Londoners wanted no part of the attendant traffic, dining, etc., woes. The "windfall" that the Stupor Bowl delivered to San Diego was similar in many ways.— October 12, 2013 10:21 a.m.
Ask Greece about economic gains from Olympics
Don, here is a quote from a site that lists the (unofficial?) results from the last three decades of Olympic gains and losses: Los Angeles 1984 "The first Olympic Games to make a profit since 1932, the LA games changed the way modern Olympics were run. The city made adjustments to existing stadia – constructing only the velodrome and aquatics centre specifically for the Games – helping bring the total profit of operating the Games to $222.7 million, with wider economic impact for Southern California estimated at $3.3 billion. Corporate sponsorship, television rights and ticket sales took the burden off the tax-payer, and 40% of profits from the Games was directed into over 1,000 youth sports organisations and programmes." - by Future Cape Town @ This Big City http://thisbigcity.net/olympic-cities-urban-legac…— October 11, 2013 5:30 a.m.
San Diego overlords and unions — who can stop them?
She was a true classic. Another of hers that I like: "Ducking for apples -- change one letter and it's the story of my life." And I've heard that more business is conducted under the table than on top.— October 8, 2013 12:48 p.m.
