Neighbors Comment on Can't-Miss Stories of the Week

Read what your neighbors had to say about a wild police pursuit through the Peninsula, a sailboat running a-ground in Pacifica, and Woodside being offered millions to change its name to SugarDaddie.com.

Stolen Sailboat Runs Aground at Linda Mar Beach; 3 Arrested

Joan Dentler wrote, "My husband, son and I were in Sausalito on Saturday and were admiring this beautiful boat (we've uploaded some photos here). We were surprised that of all the boats at the marina, this was the only one that didn't have a lock on the walkway leading right up to the boat."

 

Caltrain Strikes Empty Car on Tracks in San Bruno

Chris Zhang wrote, "Leave an empty car on the train tracks at rush hour. .. sounds like an intentional act (insurance fraud? Practical joke? ) Not only do they inconvenience thousands of people, they discourage many more from using public transit. They should be thoroughly investigated, and if guilty, punished to the maximum extent of law."

 

Angel G. Hession wrote, "You're on it Joan! Thanks for the accurate updates. It seemed like the longest 20 minutes locked in our rooms at Fox Elementary, hearing the sirens and helicopters. Thanks to our great administration to keep us calm and safe as well!"

 

Woodside Offered $11.65 Million to Change Name to 'SugarDaddie.com'

Michael Craig wrote, "I will change my own name to SugarDaddie.com for 10 years so I can send my child to Stanford and retire comfortably. Seriously though, Why not offer the $12 Million to a city like Vallejo that declared Bankruptcy?"

 

Dine and Dash Suspect Nabbed in San Carlos

Greg St. Claire wrote, "He also has dined and dashed at Town and owes the restaurant close to $300."

I can start with the comments on the Theravance drug, fluticasone fluroate - the active moiety inRead More this compound is the same, fluticasone (proprionate) that has been marketed by GSK for the same indication for approximately 25 years. Indeed, that patent is so old, and the drug has such a proven track record for safety and efficacy, that the patent has expired and there are generic versions available. There is also in implicit assumption by the author that the only reason that the FDA will approve medications in a short time span is because they are for 'life-or-limb' or unmet serious medical need. This is just not the case - regulators in many countries, including the FDA in the USA, may give accelerated approval to a product, where the safety and tolerability of a product is equivalent to a similar active agent which has already been approved. I suspect this is the case for fluticasone fluroate - but I am not privy to the details of the regulatory filing. I note that none of the companies mentioned here, nor the FDA, has provided input to this article. The journalism in this article smacks of someone trying to make a name for themselves quickly by scaring uneducated and/or anxious people. The science is just plain flawed.

Please tell us in what ways it is ill-informed

Ill-informed, sensationalist rubbish.

Each column gets better. I look for "The Shoe."

I think many of us can relate! 10 kids, huh? I was the oldest of 9, so sort of understand. MyRead More family grew up in Pacifica, & we rode over the slide every weekend when we went to the HMB airport to tend to my father's airplanes. I drove on it once, during driver's ed in high school, scary! I have an old home movie clip from 1966, going over the slide. Very overexposed, but you can still see parts of the slide in it. More recently, took 2 videos of our drive over the slide, North & south views. Going North: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb8NKnu9Gvw Going South: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rlN_g2LeE8
