History for sale: Items salvaged from the dismantled Pride of Newport riverboat are on eBay starting today – the proceeds will go to the Newport Harbor Nautical Museum. Pieces up thus far: a door to the riverboat's restaurant, the grand staircase chandelier (pictured), several smaller antique table lamps and more.

The Register reports that Mayflower is reopening today despite it all – but with only 40 students, “a fraction of the 185 children who were once enrolled there.”
Later today: Should voters get the chance to decide who replaces former Anaheim Union High School District trustee Harald Martin? A judge is expected to say yea or nay at 1:30 p.m.
Roseanne Barr for President: OK, maybe not, but the Long Beach Press-Telegram thought it was funny.
