\u2022 Sen. Boxer is leading both Carly Fiorina and Chuck DeVore by leads outside of the margin<\/a>. Chuck Devore is pretty pumped about this, because he’s one point closer to Boxer than Fiorina. Woohoo, an accomplishment! If you’d like some photos and interesting tweets, follow Josh Trevino<\/a>, who is working for DeVore. <\/p>\n \u2022 Meanwhile, the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee has an an amusing retort<\/a> to iCarly’s FAIL of a website. Click on Carlyisdreamin.com<\/a> for a chuckle.<\/p>\n \u2022 Arnold was cleared in his FPPC case<\/a>. It was a big deal in 2003 right after he was sworn in, and basically dealt with income from his bodybuilding empire.<\/p>\n \u2022 Warren Hellman has plowed $5 million dollars<\/a> as an initial investment into a multi-platform news operation for the Bay Area. Always good to see the potential for new media outlets in media-starved San Francisco. This could launch early next year.<\/p>\n \u2022 Exciting news for everyone who bought real estate at the peak of the market – Moody’s thinks it will take until 2030<\/b> to return to that peak<\/a> in California. Hold opportunity!<\/p>\n \u2022 The Dept. of Public Health cited 11 California hospitals<\/a> for violations leading to “death or serious injury.” These includes incidents like leaving two surgical clamps inside a patient in 2008, and pulling the tracheotomy tube out of another patient, who needed it for breathing.<\/p>\n \u2022 You know how we laid off all of our school nurses a long time ago? It turns out we really could have used them right about now<\/a> while fighting the swine flu.<\/p>\n \u2022 Dave wrote about the Republican “report”<\/a> yesterday pulling a number out of thin air for the cost of regulations. Today, the Chronicle covers it<\/a>, and others will surely follow. Andrew Ross is outraged<\/a> that is sat in the halls of Sac for nearly a year. Yup, it sure is a shame that junk “data” attained from Forbes Magazine languished.<\/p>\n \u2022 This is amusing. The documentary Crude<\/a>, about a $27 billion dollar lawsuit against Chevron in Ecuador, is premiering in San Francisco today. Enviro activist Trudie Styler, Sting’s wife, personally invited every one of Chevron’s 6,000 employees in San Francisco to attend the movie for free. Neat move.<\/p>\n \u2022 It seems the Arnold-eMeg back and forth about AB 32 is playing a little bit like a catfight in the media<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 The Public Utilities Commission is setting an aggressive energy efficiency strategy<\/a> where utilities will invest $4.1 in projects in exchanges for being allowed to hike rates. Residential retrofits are the linchpin to the strategy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Links for your weekend:<\/p>\n \u2022 Sen.
