How about beer drinking? Pool? Axe throwing?

Not big on surfing, skate boarding & rock climbing, either.

A move to bring in younger viewers?

Our smallest D1 team?

Ten guards, 4 forwards... 3 young.

Not a Sochor downplay.

With Dixon, 3 deep at RB, not counting Magic.

Agreed. Interesting that we apparently had a playoff invite.

Big assertion by Hawk, so I'm guessing maybe he purposefully limited our Offense in anticipation of this Fall? Get some work in and limit injury exposure. Big claim given recent Maier & Doss combo. Deepest RB depth we've ever had?

I haven't followed MLB recently. Either way, an All Star pitcher & home run leader? Amazing.

35th dinger, tops in the Majors. By a starting pitcher.

We can agree one item. Progress. 69 conveniently ignores many positive achievements, including wages rising, wages rose more for low income workers, record low Black, Latino, Asian & female unemployment. China's economy was reeling. Facts CNN will bury.

Trade researcher Alan Tonelson asserts Team Biden is now supporting numerous Trump trade positions (Biden's town hall was a disaster.)

FWIW, retired attorney Booher is a Davis High School grad.

A great Facebook post from Bob Dunning's recent column, re baseball column.

Lawrence J Booher, former counsel for Texaco and trial attorney for Caltrans. (Dunning asserts he is a great attorney.)

"Before retirement, I was a labor lawyer for a large company. From time to time we conducted internal investigations of serious matters - employee theft, discrimination or harassment based on gender (most cases), new hires (at the union level), other factors (rarely race or ethnicity - we had a vary diverse and well integrated workforce where promotions were based on performance), promotions, substance abuse, incompetence (usually a result of substance abuse).I cannot recall any case that took more than two weeks to resolve - including my review which often lead to additional interviews or documentation. (Note - in cases of potential termination for incompetence, the process was much more lengthy with job reviews, plans for improvement, more job reviews, etc.)In most cases, the majority of the work was done in less than a week. One or two people(two is better) conduct interviews of the complainants, those complained against, and possible witnesses. Relevant documentation is copied. My review. Presentation of the findings to management including recommended action. It is not a time consuming process, even if there are several claimed victims, accused, and witnesses. Most HR professionals have carried out investigations many times and know how to do it. On reflection, I cannot conceive what could delay completion of an investigation for four months. Suggestion - make an inquiry in a few weeks and ask how many interviews have already been conducted. If the answer is several, ask what more interviews are needed and what is the delay? If the answer is few, suggest more experienced investigators should be brought in. Good column."

SHouse Law Group: "If you acted with gross negligence, then Penal Code 192(c) vehicular manslaughter is a wobbler. This means it may be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony.5

"The maximum misdemeanor sentence for vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence is one (1) year in county jail—and the maximum felony sentence is six (6) years in state prison.6"

Wrong. I identified one arrogant, reckless cyclist in over a decade. I routinely give cyclists extra room, sometimes slow when passing, and if it's a narrow road, will drive half way over the center line to give said cyclists added safety, or follow behind. You're making sweeping generalizations that don't hold water.

I've already alluded to my feelings that the driver should face real consequences (not draconian). He allegedly is at fault, speculation is that he was texting.

As an aside, for years I've seen cyclists blow through stop signs. It doesn't seem legal or safe, I just shake my head.

You seem to be dismissive towards the well documented and extensive spying by China in America. Not to mention Christine Fang, aka Fang Fang, enmeshed herself in Northern California politics, including allegedly 'dating' Congressman Eric Swalwell. Senator Dianne Feinstein having a Chinese spy as her driver for 20 years. Or Feinstein and Mitch McConnell (R) having extensive business investments in China, long before Hunter Biden.

Our prior Administration confronted China's dumping of steel, and hallowing out of our manufacturing base. Something US President's ignored for decades. Author and Chinese expert Michael Pillsbury - author of The Hundred Year Marathon - states that President Trump was our toughest and shrewdest president in relation to China since President Eisenhower. His trade team was outstanding, and cemented a vastly improved USMCA (closes China's backdoor, tariff-free entry into the US). USMCA also bolsters Mexico.

China's economy was hammered by his moves and tariffs, their economy tanked and they devalued the yuan, while our economy grew by $2 Trillion (pre Covid). 3.5% unemployment, tens of Billions in tariffs flowed in, and a Silicon manufacturing explosion in Arizona. Manufacturing here started a rebound, along with steel and aluminum. All improvements Wall Street didn't want.

I can understand. There are also "entitled bicyclists". I gave a polite toot to a bicyclist well outside the bike lane in the same area, and he flipped me an aggressive "bird".

My take is killing someone because of alcohol or a cell phone is quite different than being blinded by the sun or lost in a blind spot. And the parents skate bc he's 18?

So, he walks or a few years in Club Fed + probation?

Nice get, & they'll be keying on him.

Very sad & tragic. Injuries were described as "horrific". He leaves behind a wife and three daughters.

Here it is.

Bob Dunning: Justice for UCD baseball program should be swift

"...And every minute that this goes unresolved, the rumors continue to swirl, growing darker by the day. You’re presumed guilty, even if you’re not.

"For sure, no one wants a rush to judgment, and UC Davis officials are right to insist on a thorough investigation given the seriousness of the charges, but an innocent player must feel like marching into the athletic director’s office or the chancellor’s office to demand that the investigation must have a much shorter timeline.

"Put simply, those who are without fault, be they players or coaches, should be cleared and cleared quickly...."

Interesting refresher. I recall one young lady came off like a rabid SJW. If I recall, some members were a bit naughty (jacuzzi time), others were in the corner studying.

I read some posts on Fa--book at the time, possibly from the former band Director (?), now at Davis HS (?), which seemed to imply he played a behind the scenes, Activist role.
