For more than 400 years people have come to America in search of the American Dream. While this dream included freedom of speech, religion, self-government and equality under the law, its foundation was always economic: they wanted their children and grandchildren to have better lives than they themselves had. Today’s immigrants want the same thing – decent pay for hard work, healthcare, education and better opportunities than they themselves had. But the American Dream is dying. Sen. Bernie Sanders just asked, “How can t...
It has been three years since San Diego County’s “Copter 1” became equipped with high-tech night vision gear (NVG) to fight fires at night. The use of NVG helicopters remains rare nationwide, with reportedly only three municipal agencies allowing it: the city and county of Los Angeles and the city of San Diego. Los Angeles County has 14 helicopters certified for nighttime fire operations; San Diego County has but one, Copter 1. In July 2004, San Diego County Supervisors supported purchase of two helicopters (Copters 10 and 1... Full story

Some say that the...

This week we address the dangers of the funk of the feet, commonly caused by the fungus-among-us, Tinea Pedis. First, we must know a little something about the fungus. It’s hardy, can live anywhere and we can never be completely rid of it. So, our goal is to reduce the number of fungi to a tolerable level. We do this the same way my mother got my brother Franky to finally move out of the house: make the environment unpleasant. The fungi eat dead skin and like warm, moist conditions. Change your socks three times a day and d...
