2005 Audit Shows Internal Accounting Weaknesses; Despite Some Headway, Many More Improvements Must Be Made, Says Accounting Firm
Anon92107, I am confused. You argue that SDPD and fire deserve the highest pay for protecting us from the larceny of city officials such as the former long-time police chief (and now mayor) and the fire captain who heads the firefighters union (and was indicted for his role in the pension debacle and had his special perks revoked by the IRS)??? There is something disturbingly bassackwards to argue we need to pay policeman and fireman top wages to protect us from police chiefs and fire chiefs?????— January 30, 2008 1:37 p.m.

Union-Tribune Lays Off 27, Says 18 More Will Go
I read over at the Voice that the UT doesn't even have a Content Management System (CMS). That's simply negligence. I just finished a year-long contract where we put in an XML-based CMS, converted 12k pages in 800 documents including all embedded graphics, and produced on-demand multi-format print and online outputs. The only thing that took ingenuity was the templates and metadata. All the rest is a standard problem that lots of companies solve every day. It's really not that difficult folks! It's also not very expensive or time consuming compared to the obvious benefits. What excuse could they have for not doing this years ago? If Sign on San Diego and the UT can't get something so very basic right, how in the world can they hope to survive? I feel sorry for the remaining employees.

Stock of Ballpark Bond Insurer Zooms 72 Percent on Bailout Rumors
It appeasr as if there are major sector rotations occuring as if they don't really know what part of the economy may be a safe harbor. The money managers are too drunk on fast money to put enough away in bond markets so they keep chasing the stock bubble. The government now wants to loosen up lending standards again so more borrowers can qualify. It's like the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing policy wise. Now we're heading back to allow people to under-qualify and over-extend again.— January 25, 2008 4:56 p.m.
Mingei Raided on Suspicion of Smuggling Pipeline, LA Times Says
Don;t overlook the very ambitious expansion plans using money from art that is to be sold.... "Rob Sidner explained that after two years of renovation (and $4,000,000) the Escondido location opened this past December (2003). The renovation joined the north and south mezzanines of the old Penney’s building with east and west mezzanines, creating a beautifully framed gallery that is larger than their Balboa Park gallery. Rob explained that the vision continues to build satellite galleries in smaller communities around the country, using the Escondido location as a site to store and stage exhibitions to be sent out to the other galleries. The Escondido location consists of the gallery, library, store, theater and staging and storage areas. He explained that the Museum has purchased the adjacent building to the east and for the short term will continue renting to the restaurant while selling donated art and items (that do not meet museum quality) out of the farthest east portion of the new building."— January 25, 2008 4:50 p.m.
