Well, Beaudeau's correct, at least according to once source. A surprising number, but an accurate one according to the source...

It's in the second block, under "Su llegada". I doubt you'll need to translate it, it's likely pretty easy to figure out. Also, Max was emperor for three years, which lasted a lot longer than most Mexican Presidents did before that era. It's also interesting to note that the Mexican aristocracy (who were quite powerful at the time), had approached Maximilian a full five years prior to assuming the role to try and persuade him to take the position of Emperor. I think there's a lot more there than you're letting on about. — September 16, 2013 10:29 a.m.
Citizen repossesses stolen bike in Ocean Beach
If he would have called the cops first to help in recovering the stolen bike, chances are good they would have told them they were too busy. And if the cops took the homeless lady to jail she would be out in a day or two. No-win situations all around. At least the bike was recovered.— September 20, 2013 1:36 p.m.

Masked man threatens suicide on Blue Line trolley
If he's lucky then he gets a trip to County Mental Health. It's been my experience that the majority of people who threaten suicide aren't really threatening suicide, it's something else. Hopefully, that's what it was in this case. But I thought that the Padres luchador mask was a nice touch. And yes, it has been my experience that the trolley has a lot of "interesting" people within the ridership. Sometimes it gets pretty wild.— September 16, 2013 9:37 a.m.
Arrest warrant issued under seal for Kristin Rossum's Australian lover
There is an extradition treaty between the U.S. and Australia.— September 13, 2013 6:19 p.m.
Combined convention center/stadium? Or neither?
The only convention that needs a larger venue than what is currently in place in San Diego is Comic Con. If that's the case, then San Diego should look at an expansion that is temporary and collapsible. Comic Con brings in a lot of money to San Diego every year, but certainly not enough to warrant a permanent and expensive expansion of the existing Convention Center. There are alternatives that are far more affordable and would work for the singular event where it's necessary. So far as a stadium for the Chargers, there isn't a plan on the table where the Spanos clan would pay for even half of a new venue, so screw those guys. Roski is still sitting on some prime real estate in the City of Industry waiting to push a shovel into the ground. Los Angeles can ask Ed Roski to dig their own hole, if they an afford it. San Diego cannot.— September 6, 2013 12:16 p.m.
The NFL’s paltry concussion settlement
I'm unsure if this is a justified poke at the policies of the National Football League or a justified criticism of the cost of health care. Either way, as much as I would like to muster up a tear for those fallen gladiators, if you take a modest $5 million signing bonus (not to mention what you make in the actual payroll part of the contract plus any endorsements) and invest it properly, you could cover those hospital bills incurred after a copious amount of head-jousting for a few years. But, to wit, players want to play now and perhaps cry later. Do a piece on hockey, it's a lot more brutal of a sport than American football. Just this last season in the NHL, Bruins center Gregory Campbell finished his shift on a broken leg in the playoffs before finally coming off of the ice. But that's nothing. Bobby Baun did it in the Stanley Cup Finals, not simply finishing a shift, but returning to finish the game, even scoring a goal. I could give examples all evening. Not to diminish the long-term effects of a concussion, but look at Ice Hockey and you'll see why the NFL was able to reach a settlement. The NFL has the money. The NHL doesn't, and try landing head-first on ice skating fast without concussing every so often. The difference is, the NHL is too poor to find itself on the radar of a lawsuit. It isn't the brutality of the sport that warrants players griping about suffering lasting medical effects for entertaining us while earning big money to do so, it's some sort of focus on which form of sports entertainment can afford to pay out. In other words, if owners of teams in a particular sport drive Toyotas, there's no liability, but when they drive expensive European cars then suddenly there's outrage. Maybe there's a better angle on this.— September 5, 2013 11:30 p.m.
Food service workers rally for $15 minimum wage
I was hoping that they would be protesting in Chula Vista, had my camera and voice recorder at the ready. Alas. Apparently, minimum wage is fine here.— August 29, 2013 2:04 p.m.

Padres go to great lengths to outlast Cubs
As of tonight, the Padres only have 38 on the 40 man roster, so come September, you'll probably see a couple of arms you have yet to see. And tomorrow, I expect either Brach or Boxberger to be sent down (or both) for some fresh arms. Arizona is a small park, they'll need fresh relief. But yes, in September, we'll see some fresh meat in the bigs.— August 26, 2013 12:01 a.m.
Tijuana Vegetarian Cuisine & Arts Fair sprouts up in Food Garden
If you want a cheap ride out to Zona Rio from Centro de Tijuana (downtown), go to the corner of Calle Sexta and Avenida Constitucion, the southwest corner. There are green and white cabs (advertising their ultimate destination as Lomas Verdes, which is WAY beyond Zona Rio) which go through Zona Rio via Sanchez Taboada. Less than a dollar each way. $ Bargain. You'll share the cab with others, but you can't beat the price.— August 23, 2013 1:01 p.m.
