♦ It's not just Sandra Will Carradine: the LAT says a veteran Beverly Hills police officer has resigned and pleaded guilty in the Anthony Pellicano a case, a turn that also implicates Bert Fields' law firm.
♦ Oh another thing about the governor's motorcycle riding: he doesn't have a license: "I just never really applied for it." He's OK for sidecar bikes, but not two-wheelers.
♦ Patterico v LAT and Hiltzik v Patterico were the subject of a Howard Kurtz media column in the Washington Post.
♦ District Attorney Steve Cooley is proposing a ballot measure to reform California's Three Strikes law and require most third strikes to be for a violent or serious offense.
♦ Surprise, surprise: complaints against LAPD officers are not well investigated by the department.
♦ The final part of the Times' UFW series focuses on Eliseo Medina, an SEIU official who the paper says could have been the successor to Cesar Chavez.
♦ The Paper Trail, the blog by Daily News business writer and shop steward Brent Hopkins, points to a piece by DN staffer Jason Kandel in Ararat magazine. The topic is gangs in Glendale and Hopkins posts, "Nice work, dude."
♦ Michael Eisner will host a bi-monthly interview show on CNBC.
♦ Mack Reed of LA Voice remains in DSL hell weeks after moving to Silver Lake.
♦ The Pond outranks Staples Center in ticket sales for concerts and non-sports events, but partly because it has more open dates.
♦ Warren Dorn, a county supervisor for sixteen years, died at age 87. In 1972 he lost his bid for reelection to Baxter Ward, the former Channel 7 news anchor.
♦ George Walsh, a longtime news announcer at KNX and the former voice of "Gunsmoke" on radio and TV, died at age 88.

| 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.
