Cory Briggs sues Navy, Edison, SDG&E, Dept. of Defense
don bauder, Months ago, APS said they won't take it and they have no intention of applying for the required approval and licensing from the NRC to store used fuel from any other facility. Aguiree can "believe" what he wants, but the crap from SONGS isn't going to end up in Arizona!— November 16, 2017 10:05 p.m.

Get nervous, team-owning robber barons
don bauder, My wife was a psychologist. Back in 2000 when trump was running for the nomination in the reform party, I guess trying to do his Ross Perot impression, we had many conversations about him, as we did most of the other candidates Like most mental health professionals she didn't think it proper to give a diagnosis without actually examining him. At one point though, he did or said something, I don't remember what specifically, she changed her mind. She named a bunch of traits or characteristics he was displaying, you know the ones, same as those front and center right now, and said something to the effect that if she was to give a professional based on what she had observed, she would say he was a psychopath and explained how she had reasoned that out. All that language went right over my head, so I asked her to sum it up in words a dummy like me would understand. He response, in a perfect deadpan, was a classic. She thought for a couple of seconds and then said simply " He's a f*cking whack job". I guess she was right. Just my opinion Opinions vary.— November 6, 2017 10:18 a.m.

don bauder, An interesting development in the trump/NFL saga: http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-buffa… I guess that the USFL fiasco mus have ***REALLY*** chapped trumps ass. Seems that more than 25 years later, he ***still*** carried a grudge, one that seemed to have morphed into an "I don't want it, but you can't have it either" tantrum, something reminiscent of what my daughter may have done when she was six years old. A grudge he still carries and something he still seems to be doing now. I don't care how much money he has and whether or not he is POTUS. He is still a petty, petulant little man who needs to be turned over someone's knee and have his ass whipped with a switch, and then be made to write on a blackboard 10,000 times: ***I WILL NOT BE PETTY AND PETULANT AND WILL RESPECT OTHERS MORE THAN I RESPECT MYSELF***.!!! Just my opinion. Opinions vary.— November 6, 2017 7:13 a.m.
Get nervous, team-owning robber barons
don bauder, I don't know that trumps mere ownership of the team is what was disastrous. He bought the team from one of the founders of the league and they were a good team, with some good players, most notably Doug Flutie and Herschel Walker, both Heisman winners, and Brian Sipe, then only a year or two removed from an NFL MVP season. No, What was disastrous was trumps's bullying of the other owners to play the 1986 season in the fall, going head to head against the NFL. Being the marketing genius that he thinks he is, he thought that move would force the NFL to consider the USFL a major rival and lead to a merger of the two leagues, much like the AFL-NFL merger. The reasons were simple; his prediction that the values of the USFL franchises would at least double, if not triple and, more importantly he would have more notoriety and, most importantly, garner the respect of the NFL owners. Remember who the owners in the NFL were at the time. Most of them were still the founders of the league and a lot wealthier than trump was, and from **OLD** money. I disagree with you on the current "feud" with the NFL. When Kaepernick first started this, trump did not give a sh!t. He is only using this now as a convenient outlet for his bigotry and ignorance in order to rile up his voter base. He is still angry at not being able to buy the Buffalo Bills. I would bet that the fact that he thought that $1.4 billion was way too much and the Bills are now valued at $1.6 billion pisses him off even more, because as he has told us repeatedly, he is a business genius. Just my opinion. Opinions vary.— November 5, 2017 8:23 a.m.

I think everyone is missing one salient point.Trump's hatred of the NFL has nothing to do with action of player during the National Anthem. That's just his latest reactive outburst due to his lack of impulse control. His hatred goes back much further and runs much deeper than that. It starts with his complete failure in the USFL, after he bought the New Jersey Generals, and then his subsequent ruination of the league and the ensuing embarrassment. Then, of course, came the **Great Insult of 2014** when his bid of $1billion **cash** wasn't enough to gain him ownership of the Buffalo Bills, losing out to a $1.4 billion bid by a gas tycoon who already owned several sports franchises, including an NHL team. Trump said at the time that he didn't get the team because he was not " going to do something totally stupid, maybe just a little bit stupid, but not totally stupid.'' Yeah, OK. I guess we all see how that philosophy is working out.— November 4, 2017 8:22 a.m.
Broadcom plots $100 billion bid for Qualcomm
don bauder You are aware that it is Broadcom Ltd that is involved, not Broadcom Corp, right. Avago Technologies bought Broadcom Corp last year and renamed the merged entities Broadcom Ltd. Since Broadcom Ltd wants to finish that change of location before completing any Qualcomm deal, in order to avoid avoid scrutiny by the Committee on Foreign Investment, it would seem unlikely that their relocation would involve San Diego. I have also heard that Qualcomm closing it's purchase of NXP Semiconductors NV is a consideration in the deal. Assuming of course, that the offer is actually made and is accepted.— November 4, 2017 8:03 a.m.

shirleyberan, You really MUST pay more attention to what you read!!! I don't need to Google it. What he said was drink at least one-half of your body weight in ounces of water every day. I'll do the math for you. If you weigh 200 lbs, then you drink 100 oz of water. That's 12.5 8 oz glasses of water. Now if you were to Google, you would find that many organizations recommend more than the "traditional" 64oz per day. For example, the Mayo clinic recommends adult males over the age of 19 consume 124 oz., as does The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Their recommendations cover fluids from water, other beverages and also food, with about 80 percent of daily fluid intake usually coming from what you drink. I am 61 years old and weigh about 215, give or take. In an average week, I run 20 miles, I bike 25-50 miles and I hit the gym at least 3 times a week, 4 if I have the time, for 2-3 hours each visit. And I can tell you that I consume at least 120 oz of fluids a day, and a lot more than that if I am in AZ and it is summertime.— October 29, 2017 9:52 a.m.
