Father of pitching star Robby Nesovic says Earley handled money in violation of district policy.
Updated at 8:45 p.m. May 18, 2012 Grossmont High School baseball coach Jim Earley, who resigned this week after ending the season with 20 straight losses, is under fire from a parent who accuses him of misusing money from the program and running a booster club that violates district rules. In a Nov. 9, 2011, memo to Principal Dan Barnes, Danilo “Dan” Nesovic made a series of complaints, including: The Grossmont Union High School District on Friday said Earley has retired, and East County Sports quoted Earley as saying: “I want to spend more time with my family, especially my two sons who are 9 and 10.” But documents obtained by Patch indicate four-year head coach Earley, as president of a nonprofit called Blue and Gold Baseball Inc., …

The Friday morning incident prompted a brief lock down of Monterey Heights Elementary School while deputies searched the area.
Two men were arrested Friday morning on suspicion of burglarizing a home on the 1400 block of Bakersfield St., according to sheriff’s authorities. Roberto Castillo, 34, and Demetrius Kostos, 36, were taken into custody after attempting to hide in the home, said sheriff’s Sgt. Michelle McPhail.

The sheriff’s helicopter was called in to assist with the search of the neighborhood just south of Monterey Heights Elementary School. When deputies arrived, they confronted two men leaving the house in the backyard. According to authorities, both …
Much of the reaction to the magazine's oh-so-controversial cover last week, which showed a woman nursing a 3-year-old, proves that we, as image-consumers, are getting a whole lot better at not taking the bait.
Today, we are surrounded by images from the time we wake up until we close our eyes at night. And those who make these images, image-producers, provide the public with a majority of our information. Just look at the field of news, where television and photography have strangled the written word almost completely. Sometimes I think we’re turning the book of life into a picture book. This week, the image du jour is that oh-so controversial Time cover of a woman breastfeeding a 3-year-old standing on a chair next to her. I can only imagine how much the buzz surrounding this image is profiting Time-Warner, the owners of Time, even if most of the people buzzing about it will never actually read the story inside. A picture is now worth more …
The Kirk Jones movie should have implanted the hilarious Dudes’ Group more frequently.
Have you seen the commercials? The one where Chris Rock leads a few guys through a park along with their children? The one that makes you want to watch What to Expect When You’re Expecting so you can laugh at the popular comedian? If yes—know that you won’t be getting much of Rock in the movie that debuts Friday. The movie, based on the 1984 book of the same name by Heidi Murkoff, is endearing, heartfelt and bring tears to your eyes at times—but doesn’t tell much about what a man goes through as he is expecting. Instead, the movie focuses heavily on the women and the different obstacles and emotions they face as they expect to bring another life into the world. And, I’m not complaining—I’m just saying. The film features an all-star cast …
Social media continue to harvest our personal likes for sake of advertising and marketing.
Every time you turn around, you’re being followed. Google, Facebook and now Twitter. We learn from Huffington Post: “Twitter announced Thursday that it will use information it collects about users' browsing habits across all sites with Twitter “share” buttons to recommend accounts to follow. By tracking individuals during their visits to websites in what the social media site calls the Twitter ecosystem (which includes any page with an embedded Twitter widget), Twitter can monitor what stories or topics each user visits most, and use that data to suggest accounts that match their interests.” So has privacy gone out the window?
The team will also recognize a breast cancer survivor who is the Padres' winner in Major League Baseball's Honorary Bat Girl program.

Witness to 2010 SUV plunge off Carlsbad cliff sought $256,000 from Chargers great in April.
Updated at 9 a.m. May 18, 2012 Six days before killing himself, Junior Seau was being represented in a downtown San Diego courtroom by an attorney fending off a personal-injury lawsuit. According to court documents, Murray Lea sought $256,000 from Seau as compensatory damages in connection with Seau’s 2010 SUV plunge off a Carlsbad cliff. Lea says he was close enough to the car he could have grabbed the door handle, but injured himself jumping away. He listed a San Marcos address in the lawsuit, but now says he is homeless—living out of a van on Coast Highway and fearing for his life as a result of publicity about the case. “I’m suing a dead legend for a quarter-million dollars,” Lea noted Thursday afternoon from his car in Carlsbad. But …
