Ingleside Police Station has issued a (slightly belated) warning to the Sunnyside neighbors of City College. Two incidences of sexual battery have occurred in the last month or so (November 26 and December 2) on the pedestrian bridge near Geneva and Ocean Avenues. Both attacks happened at around 6 p.m., smack dab in the middle of commute hours. There was also a December 8th attack that may or may not be related. It occurred at Ocean Avenue and Lee Street.

The police just released a sketch of the man who allegedly "groped two female victims in separate incidents last week near a San Francisco City College campus." In two said incidences, both of which occurred Dec. 2 and Dec. 4, the women were attacked on a pedestrian bridge linking Geneva and Ocean avenues at the school's Ocean campus. The perpetrator, according to reports, "is described as Hispanic, about 25-30 years old and 5 feet 10 inches tall, with short, black spiky hair ... last seen wearing an orange jacket, an orange shirt, a gold necklace and a backpack." Have info on this guy? Then, please, contact the SFPD sex crimes unit at 415-553-1362 or the anonymous tip line at 415-575-4444. (Also, students can use City College's security escort service, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at 415-239-3200.)

Nancy Pelosi dedicates a campus and opines on the presidential race.

If you recall, last Thursday a mother, while loading groceries into her car at a local Safeway, was approached by a man, carjacked, taken to a secluded area, and then sexually assaulted as her daughter was in the car.

You are all heroes in our book, and we will forever call May 19th “KubSvalCha Day” and celebrate it every year with an egg sandwich.

Last week's winner, the SF Weekly. Hey, why is Sucka Free City before the letters this week? Anti-Jewish slurs at Rainbow Grocery. The story behind that weird killing in Hayes Valley you guys got all worked up at us about (blah blah blah, hipsters, blah blah, SFist is racist, blah blah). Cover article: Disbar more lawyers. We are adoring the cautious yet game-for-adventure tone in this Southern Exposure pie delivery service piece! Meredith Brody bills the Weekly for her belly dancer. Hey, SFist Ced liked it! Let's Get Killed on the spate of bands coming in to perform single albums live, including Sonic Youth with Daydream Nation. We find that phenomenon so mysterious. The Bouncer passes along the theory that there are three types of bars in this city: Irish, hipster, and bars with two Asian women behind the bar. Also -- you may have heard the new Weekly web guy is now no longer with the Weekly -- best of luck to you, Matt Stroud! He was super super nice about the Day Around The Baymixup and we were looking forward to getting to know him!

The city's disaster-alert network just texted us an alert! It would seem that the City College of SF (Phelan Campus) is having some electrical problems, and may not have their power switched back on until 4pm. the alert insists.

Sadly, because the Virginia Tech shootings have, in a perverted way, inspired copycats, City College today was shut down because a copy cat threatened to start shooting students.

Sorry for the delay in reading your alt-weeklies this week; there was a comical mixup in our attempts to implement the weekly switchoff between us and SFist Sarah L. We'll try again in a few weeks, and we also briefly considered just not doing something this week, and then we thought, . So here we are!

We actually got just a little bit choked up when we read Muni's farewell to the 15 line. The damn bus line's been running since 1940 -- sixty-seven years! Before that, there were electric trolleys; before that, the line was pulled by unicorns or something.

Last week's winner, the SF Weekly: Gosh, the Chron seems awfully enthralled with that Zodiac movie, doesn't it? Also, more on the Leno/Migden throwdown, quoting Paul Hogarth from Beyond Chron (who now supports Leno). Cover article: An awesome piece about mentally ill dogs. Who knew bordie collies got OCD? Meredith goes to the Presidio Social Club; SFist Ced gruffly concedes maybe she's been doing a good job lately. Let's Get Killed laments the new boring indie rock. Speaking of rock, why's the Clipse so into cocaine? And another independent magazine (Arthur, an indie rock anarchist publication) bites the dust.

Bipartisan legislators introduced a bill in the California Senate Wednesday that would grant every child born within the state a $500 savings account, earmarked for higher education, a home downpayment, or retirement. We appreciate the idea of teaching young 'uns how to save for the future, sure. And we appreciate that people are working to counteract California's poverty. But, come on . . . finance lessons from the folks that have put California in the red?

Last week's winner, the Bay Guardian. And ... whoa! Pictures of Margaret Cho's burlesque performance online (probably NSFW, but not really hardcore or anything). Make Gavin Newsom tell us what he does all day. Aaron Peskin on some kind of shenanigans with a City College building in North Beach. And -- this is weird -- so the Guardian is sort of mad at (or at least puzzled by) Chris Daly on Sophie Maxwell's housing plan, but Matt Smith over at the Weekly is begrudgingly okay with him about that Hastings protest where he got arrested. This is totally blowing our mind! Is it opposite day? Open the library on Sundays! Skipping a long and difficult-to-read two page comic-strip advertisement. Annalee Newitz on the debates over the feminist science fiction entry on Wikipedia. Cover: have a nice winter holiday. More music and club lists. The Guardian congratulates itself on opposing the war in Iraq in a full-page ad. And new A's DH Mike Piazza's horoscope: the stars see fear and illusion masquerading as truth and necessity for him.

Saturday: We're taking in the first annual San Francisco Young Playwrights Festival, which showcases the winners of this citywide high school playwriting contest at 8 p.m. on May 26 and 27, and at 2 p.m. on May 28, at Diego Rivera Theatre at City College. Get tickets here to see the literary stars of tomorrow, today!

It warms our red hearts to see workers marching here at home and around the world on International Workers' Day, otherwise known as May Day. Protests and demonstrations happened from Berlin to Indonesia, and while most were peaceful, there were scuffles with authorities. Here in the United States, the marches were to protest changes to immigration laws, and coincided with many businesses shuttering their doors as immigrant workers walked off their jobs. Marches were also held in solidarity with immigrants across the border in Mexico, where they celebrated "Un Dia Sin Gringos."

Check out this hook while my Wednesday revolves it! Today: The Del Sol string quartet performs pieces by female Korean composer Hyo-Shin Na at the Main Library today at 2. Na will be there to introduce the pieces. We're partial to Del Sol and their 20th-21st century stylings (they played this correspondent's wedding), so go check 'em out!
