URS Corp. will oversee repairs to Iraq's communications system, hospitals and courthouses under contracts worth a total of $27.7 million. The contracts were awarded late Wednesday to a joint venture of URS and the Louis Berger Group of New Jersey.

Well, guess Fienstien lost the San Francisco vote (ironic given that this firm is based IN San Francisco).
Note, I'm not being serious. The Dims would probably vote for her anyways just to keep a moderate-conservative Republican from taking over her seat. Though the Green candidate probably will pick up a little more support though.
