Statement by the President on the Passing of Leonard Nimoy Long before being nerdy was cool, there was Leonard Nimoy. Leonard was a lifelong lover of the arts and humanities, a supporter of the sciences, generous with his talent and his time. And of course, Leonard was Spock. Cool, logical, big-eared and level-headed, the center of Star Trek’s optimistic, inclusive vision of humanity’s future. I loved Spock. In 2007, I had the chance to meet Leonard in person. It was only logical to greet him with the Vulcan salute, the universal sign for “Live long and prosper.” And after 83 years on this planet – and on his visits to many others – it’s clear Leonard Nimoy did just that. Michelle and I join his family, friends, and countless fans who miss him so dearly today.

RIP Leonard Nimoy Spock Was The First Nerd Leonard Nimoy and Mr. Spock have been a huge part of my life. Going back to watching Star Trek TOS in 1966 and starting the Bret Harte Oakland Star Trek Club in 1976, Spock and Star Trek helped to form how I look at the World. Spock made it cool to be smart He was the first nerd. I remember when I met him in 1981 when I was a student at Texas-Arlington, Nimoy did not want to be Spock. He even had a book "I am not Spock." Boy, he pissed off a lot of people with that one! Then, in 1995, he embraced being Spock, and wrote "I Am Spock." Mr. Spock is part of the Star Trek message that we can and will be better. Live Long and Prosper.

RIP Leonard Nimoy Spock From Star Trek Passes Leonard Nimoy passed away at 83 and after a long life punctuated by his role as Mr. Spock on Star Trek. Spock was the first nerd. He had a logical way of thinking thanks to his Vulcan ethnicity but tempered with a human half thanks to his mother. At first Leonard Nimoy did not want to be Spock. When I met him in 1981 he was trying to avoid being Spock. He even wrote a book called I Am Not Spock. I did not buy it. Then in 1995 he came out with I Am Spock. I bought that one. Spock and Star Trek are enduring symbols of a better World. Live Long and Prosper.

Oakland Raiders New Stadium Calls For Developer Who Can Buy Part Of Team The Oakland Raiders want a deep pocketed developer who can contribute $400 million to the stadium construction effort, yet buy a portion of the team. That would call for $600 million to $800 million total investment by the developer group. The problem is the Oakland Raiders don't have deep pocketed owners and team itself is not maximizing its revenue generating ability. I estimate the Raiders are between $30 million and $150 million under what could be gained annually. The Raiders and the City of Oakland and County of Alameda must cast a Worldwide net in the search for that person or persons. Stay tuned.

Oakland Raiders San Diego Chargers LA Stadium Team-Up Stuff Of Comedy When I read that the Oakland Raiders and the San Diego Chargers were teaming up to form the development and financing plan for a $1.7 billion NFL stadium in Carson, California, I took the news seriously. That is until I saw the sentence where they said they actually planned to see “public funding”. Then I cracked up. Laughed. Loud. Like, just plain deep, stomach-aching howlers. And I did so for three reasons, which were borne of thoughts that formed in my head in five seconds total: first, the Raiders were the focus of a failed public funding scheme here in Oakland; second, no media reporter picked up on that in their coverage, and third, I wondered what kind of vodka the planners of this joker of an idea were drinking at the time. Any mention of “Raiders” and “public funding” in the same paragraph immediately point to recollections of the 1995 personal seat license program that was supposed to raise over $83 million, but only took in north of $56 million, thus, adding interest, leaving the City of Oakland and the County of Alameda paying $20 million total annually. So much that the amount the City of Oakland paid on the stadium bond issue remained fixed even as Oakland Police were laid off in 2012. So with that, why would anyone with half a brain dare to propose to another California city a public financing plan that involved the Oakland Raiders, a team with a habit of bad public money deals and constant noise about skipping town? Any type of public money has to go to a vote, and guess what? There's no escape from what would be a certain thumbs-down vote. Redevelopment Tex Increment Revenue is dead in California. Think you can sneak a Mello-Roos plan around the public vote by saying you're just going to tax the property owners? Ha. Good luck. San Diego tried that for its convention center expansion and got embarrassed in court – off to the voters! And what voter, in this age of talk of how much the 1 percent have and jacked up, hyper-high minimum wage laws in California cities, would actually bothers to back a public bond that quite literally would be called “Raiders Deal Two”? Did anyone from the Chargers think about this? Who came up with this idea? Do you see now why I'm laughing so hard. Why I just can't stop with the chuckles? It's funny. But what's not funny, from the Oakland perspective, is how Raiders Owner Mark Davis (who I have a greeat deal of respect and admiration for) is spending too much of his time being unfocused. Mr. Davis needs to establish a laser focus on the Oakland stadium issue, form his own development team, and make a solution. He can't do that screwing around with this silly plan that's being floated. Instead, Mr. Davis always points to someone else as the problem: it's either the city or the county, and not the Raiders. No. It's the Raiders as much as anyone else, and this teaming with the Chargers to seek public money (excuse me while I laugh again) proves it. The Oakland Raiders need to act by word and by deed like true civic boosters, and stop joking around. I gotta admit, though, the comedy routine is a good one. Stay tuned.

College Football Passing Games More Advanced Than NFL I assert that college football passing games are more advanced than those in the National Football League. The reason is they are more varied and the receiver concepts are of a greater number than in the conservative and play it safe NFL. Some say that the NFL has more time to work on the passing game. Yes, but it's what they work on that is the issue for me. Many NFL teams still use the I Formation. That is something seldom seen in college football today. In the past it was college football with the Wishbone and the NFL with the I Formation and the Pro Set. Now college football is beyond the NFL.

Twitter Isn't Worthless But Your Tweet May Be Atlantic.com's Derek Thompson wrote an entire article that he needs to rethink. Basically Derek Thompson's ego is shattered because only just over 1 percent of those engaged clicked to read his article. Poor fellow. The tweet says all anyone needs to know, so there is little need to get more information about something that is not breaking news. But that doesn't stop him from blasting Twiter, huh? Talk about hubris! The fact, as he presents it, is that his tweet stated an absolute that "Almost every major patent concept from the 1930s was in chemistry. Today, all software" - okay. Now, that tweet received thousands of favs and almost that many retweets, which would make anyone happy. Except Derek. He is fixated on the stat that just one percent actually clicked over to read his post. Wow. Where is it written that he's supposed to get more than that? Considering the volume of impressions he got, that over 1,000 readers is really good. Twitter's not the problem here - it's the tweet and the baseless expectations behind it.
