First thing Friday, 10/14
A little bit late today...
♦ Mayor Villaraigosa asked for an outside review of the DWP's power failures and appointed Forescee Hogan-Rowles to the agency's board.
♦ Doug Dowie won't get to use the results of a polygraph test in his federal trial. The former head of Fleishman-Hillard's L.A. office and ex-Daily News managing editor can testify and be cross-examined if he wants to tell his side, a judge ruled.
♦ Fortune magazine, CNBC, AP and others have reported on Moonview Sanctuary, the $175,000-a-year mental health retreat for celebs in Santa Monica run by Laurie Perlman, the former CAA agent who was married to the co-chairman there, and Gerald Levin, her current love and the ex-head of Time Warner. Now the L.A. Times has too, in today's front-page column One.
♦ Meanwhile, CAA's push for 100% market share is analyzed by John Horn in the Times.
♦ Tribune Company's third-quarter profit was off 80%, and MarketWatch columnist Chuck Jaffe made the stock his Stupid Investment of the Week.
♦ Bobbi Murray reports in the Jewish Journal on the Villaraigosa's Rosh Hashanah dinner at the home of Ehud Danoch, the Consul General of Israel. It's where the mayor surprised his staff by saying he would lead a trip to Israel.
♦ A snake was found in the KTLA offices of general manager Vinnie Malcolm, RonFineman.com confirmed with Malcolm. Whether it slithered in by itself or was sent to him is up in the air.
♦ Joe Scott is blogging about the Clash of the Stars over the state ballot. The NYT's Dean Murphy has a piece today on the celebrity angle that runs front-page in the national edition only.

| This is not a great time to walk off your job, but does that mean much to the 80,000 SAG members who barely make any money as actors?
| The new owner is Minneapolis-based US Bancorp, which suddenly becomes a much bigger player in California and Arizona.
| Without referencing its recent layoff, the Ventura County Star's editor says the suburban LA paper is now "more streamlined and, in many ways, much more efficient."
| We stripped the Indians of their ponies, and now we're doing it to ourselves.
| When the sun looks like that, there's a big fire somewhere regardless of whether we see or smell smoke.
Lee Abrams, Tribune Company's chief innovation officer, doesn’t seem too impressed with the Los Angeles Times. That’s the feeling I got when he appeared at the Los Angeles Press Club.
Seven or fifteen minutes from now I can definitively say I didn't hear the sound of sirens.
