Day Around The Bay

SFist Jon's away this weekend, so you're stuck with us!

--Yahoo's Jerry Yang is donating $75 million to Stanford. Does that mean he'll get fewer calls from the alumni giving committee.... or more?

--SFPartyParty's offering a bottle of wine to the (over-21) author of the funniest email to Gavin Newsom about his cancellation of the How Weird electronica/peace Street Fair. Meanwhile, Left in SF spreads the word about a How Weird letter writing campaign.

--SFMike sees Ralph Nader. Sparks fly!

--BeyondChron busts the mayor lying about how often he sees Aaron Peskin. Newsom says once a week, while Peskin says he's only seen Gavin twice in the last six months.

--Friends of Jim Gray, the missing computer programmer, are suspending their search.

--Local guy from Saratoga makes the American Idol semifinals.

--Sad news -- they had to put Buffy the dog who saved her owner from a robbery to sleep due to complications from the bullet wounds she suffered.

--We're getting an interim U.S. Attorney from South Carolina.
