How will you vote on the Measure W "North Beach" advisory vote? A fire on Camp Pendleton that started around 12:45 p.m. today has burned about 400 acres in the center of the base, according to First Lt. Tom Garnett, and it has yet to be contained. The base is working in conjunction with San Diego County to fight the blaze that’s in what Garnett called an “impact area.” It’s a part of the base that’s void of structures and personnel and is used for training purposes. The fire is being fought from the air. Garnett said no information was available as to how the fire started. 
For anyone who complained about returning from Labor Day to a pile of work, consider the kind of week the San Diego Gas & Electric public-relations people just had. On Sept. 2, the California Public Utilities Commission (PUC) released a report that said SDG&E failed to properly maintain power lines suspected in starting three of last year’s catastrophic wildfires in San Diego County. The report also accused utility officials of hampering the state agency’s investigation into the fires that killed two people, injured 40 firefighters and destroyed more than 1,300 homes.Then, on Sept. 3, a San Diego jury awarded $15.2 million of SDG&E money to the families of four U.S. Marines killed in January 2004 when their helicopter struck an unlit utility tower at Camp Pendleton. The jury found SDG&E negligent in not putting lights or markers on the tower, and that then-SDG&E president Edwin Guiles and another utility executive “acted with malice” by not ordering the installa...
Yuvraj, who has come to being the mainstay of the Indian one-day middle order, still struggles to book a Test berth. But the Punjab southpaw who has been going through a patchy form of late is determined to put his case strong during the four-day match. Selection is not in my hands but I'm confident of getting my form back. This match is a great opportunity for me. There were some flaws in my batting but I have worked on those areas.," Yuvraj said here Thursday. Moreover, I'll be proving a point to myself, rather than to others. 
Timothy M. Ghent Intl. Middle East Intl. Sitges Intl. Already a Variety subscriber? Daily VarietyThe whole paper. Posted: Thurs., Oct. When Nickelodeon hired former VH1 and Atlantic Records exec Doug Cohn to integrate music into the Nick brand, SpongeBob SquarePants wasn't the only one crooning, "It's the best day ever!" That's because all the stars in the Nick family now have the potential to add "recording artist" to their resumes.A four-year deal with Sony enables the cabler to develop, produce and finance television and music projects. The move came after Disney spiked past Nick as the top kids channel with tuners and series such as "High School Musical" and "Hannah Montana." Now with Cohn one year into the gig as Nick's first senior VP of music marketing and talent, he's seen two Naked Brothers Band album launches, kept the Backyardigans' "Born to Play" CD on the top 10 kids music charts for nine months, grabbed 260,000 downloads for the "iCarly" theme song, managed three s...

The St. Engagement buzz is again being heard about Giselle Bundchen and her injured QB, Tom Brady, but a close friend of the supermodel tells me, ''I don't think they will even bother getting engaged -- and will just slip off and marry quietly. FUNNY FOLKS: Dana Carvey told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that Sarah Palin's voice reminds him so much of his ''Church Lady'' classic from ''Saturday Night Live,'' he's put ''her'' back in his stand-up act. That led Tina Fey to call Carvey. Could a gig be in the works -- teaming Fey's ''Palin'' with the ''Church Lady'' in an upcoming "SNL" skit? Robin Williams did it again! The Oscar winner returned Friday for another surprise appearance at the Lakeshore Theater -- similar to his unscheduled impromptu shows at the Lakeshore back in May, while he was here for the Chicago taping of Ellen DeGeneres' talk show. Look for the always outrageous Sandra Bernhard to be scary-funny for two Halloween-time shows Oct. 27, as part of Steppenwolf's ''Traff...
