	Should You Vote for Wendy Because She Is Not a Man? By Ari L. Noonan @ 5:00 PM May 16, 2013 Found in: Editor's Essays According to the freshest polling, Los Angeles City Attorney challenger Mike Feuer (35 to 24) and City Controller contender Dennis Zine (33 to 18) hold safe leads going into Tuesday’s election, leaving the mayor’s race as the last citywide office packing perspiration drama.

Elias @ 7:00 AM May 16, 2013 Found in: Op-Ed One thing is certain as California heads for a new health insurance era under the Affordable Health Care Act, better known as ObamaCare: Almost all parts of the state will need more medical professionals to serve the additional 2 million to 4 million newly-insured Californians.
