Here Are the Banks Using Your Tax Money for Pro Sports Naming Rights Scam
"Most San Diegans didn't know what was happening." You're using that as an excuse?? So who's fault is that? How hard is it to ask the questions? =================================== So who's fault is that?- It is the FAULT of the IDIOT Mayor and her UNELECTED cronies, NOT the taxpayers. Next question. How hard is it to ask the questions? It's IMPOSSIBLE if you're not involved in the negotiations. Sort of like saying how hard is it to object to the scam illegal pension spinking for PD and FD when it was done behind closed doors and the public had no say. Hmmmmmmm...looks like this gimmick account was just spanked back into reality.— February 8, 2009 12:36 p.m.
Here Are the Banks Using Your Tax Money for Pro Sports Naming Rights Scam
By definition, a scam is a fraudulent scheme or a swindle. If the parties are aware who gets the naming rights fees, how is it a scam? =============================== Since the TAXPAYERS bailed these loser banks out that makes them a "party" under your scenario-and last time I checked the TAXPAYERS didn't give the OK to throw good money after bad.— February 8, 2009 12:32 p.m.

OK, it appears there have been more deaths by violence recently than I estimated, but accidents still are the largest cause of fatalities in PD work, not shoot outs. Here is a report on work related deaths- tree cutting/loggers is by far the most dangerous job. This article says they make $60K per year, but the level of danger in their job is 30 times that of the median job, so this is a job that is far more dangerous than PD work, yet is paid less than half of what PD work is paid when you include benefits (this tree cutting job pays 1/4-1/3 of PD when PD OT is added in)-without the job security or long term employment guarantee (oh, and be sure to read the fictional comment that a FF makes at the end-just like here!); "One of the most dangerous jobs is timber cutting. People who cut down trees have an accident rate of 118 per 100,000 workers. Most of the deaths occur due to falling trees. The death rate for timber cutters is nearly 30 times that of the average worker. Timber cutters earn around 60,000 US dollars (USD) over a ten month period." http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-the-most-dangero…— February 7, 2009 2:17 p.m.

Here, this is for the JJ "gimmick" account; 80% OF POLICE DEATHS DUE TO ACCIDENTS, GUNS Organized Crime Digest , Jan 31, 2006 The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund said preliminary data show 80 percent of the 153 police line-of-duty deaths last year resulted from traffic accidents and shooting incidents. California with 17 deaths had the highest number, followed Texas, with 14, and Georgia, with 10. >>>>>Traffic-related incidents claimed 62 lives. There were 60 deaths from shooting incidents.<<<<< http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa4441/is_2… ================= Now, lets see, JJ said 15% of cop deaths were from traffic accidents and 49% were from shootings....Hmmmm...me thinks JJ doesn't understand %'s.— February 7, 2009 12:25 p.m.

According to the website, during the past century, fire arms have been the leading cause of fatalities at 49%. The second greatest cause of deaths has been from automobiles, at 15%. Apparently, the vast majority of the deaths are not auto accidents. ===================================== Wow, and from such a non biased authority. Traffic accidents by far account for the largest amount of LE deaths- there is no argument about that= and the 15% number you quote is so far off base it is laughable. As for 585 shooting deaths, that accounting MUST include self inflicted wounds-if it is even accurate. BTW- even using your bogus numbers of shooting deatsh, 585 over 10 yesars, that is about 58 per year, compared to on the job construction deaths of between 2,000-4,000. Do the math.— February 7, 2009 12:19 p.m.

I sure do miss the Denise Yamada days from Chanel 39. She was my favorite newscaster. Bob Dale too. Bob was such a great asset to San Diego, man I miss those people.— February 7, 2009 12:13 p.m.

No excuse for the actions stated here. If you are going to downsize, you be honest, upfront and do your best-that was not what happened to this person- in fact it I would think acting in the manner here, cold and downright rude, could result very easily in a violent reaction.— February 6, 2009 9:56 p.m.
List of Madoff Investors Now Public. Some San Diegans Tell Their Tales of Woe
If people received more than their investment then I agree they may be liable. I don't know if that is going to be the case, and I did not think there were any cases like that when I made my comment they would not be liable for returning money.— February 6, 2009 9:52 p.m.
List of Madoff Investors Now Public. Some San Diegans Tell Their Tales of Woe
I don't think there is any money left, certainly not more than a few cents on the dollar. If someone pulled out SUBTANTIALLY more than what they invested (and just their investment with no ROI) then I guess there may be some liability, but I doubt there will be very many, if any, examples of that.— February 6, 2009 6:51 p.m.
