i i left home i can but did i leave home or was i thrown out i'm not quite sure i either left home or i was thrown away out of the seventeen and and went into ballet and went to school and became a dancer and although i danced really beautifully in my head. the body never falls. oh i was soon without a job and i thought well let's look for something easy with a name like kaplan hey i can get a job or not. you are through. should watch the chaplin movie once again to see how it happened the question i wanted to ask you many people today they know your family they knew your father. from the film. i know anything about charles chaplin you played in the movie you played you rio grande so how quickly i love this movie myself but how adequate is the food from your point of view is chaplin himself adequate when you watch this movie was it really do. you know. i thought robert downey jr was absolutely extraordinary but i don't know if that was daddy i was born when my father was already of white haired. i've got to know him when he must have been about sixty five or six and it was all you see

when i came home it was amazing i was honestly one of the best goons of my life i thought i was going to pass out i was so happy. there was my wife and my daughter that i had seen her here and it was just almost too good to be true i was going to . at the same time there was only so wonderful because it's been the last year away from them in iraq which was terrible and so when a t.v. camera man came up to me and asked me some questions i told about it's a i'm really glad to be home i'm proud of my service but i am against the war in iraq and i know that some family members and some friends weren't pleased that i said that i thought was maybe an appropriate time but if every soldier comes home and they just say that they're glad to be home the knowns in the truth about what's going on in iraq. just. that it's puts a. slight listed things in it maybe the support is absent and states will be in place until manhood examined so famous people want to be a one hundred plus the two seems to me to know maybe it was. a. little slip is this many many months in the salt lake city. police and the

the facilities plan, i know i read that and i have been asking a lot of the residents here. it is written, but i am not sure if it is actually happening. >> maybe i can address that again. proceeds that exceed the cost of operations goes on to say that surplus funds should be used for a variety of things like that. where chosen not to charge. we have chosen to subsidize its. we have to have a conversation about how to charge them enough money. we only get about $475,000 including the building. the cost of 800,000. we will have to raise all of those grants. that has been the problem, there is no surplus. >> because that did not work, moving forward, i am not for increasing that. i want to make sure that outside of this community, this business plan we are talking about, the jobs being created based on what is happening at the plant, we can come together and give back to our youth that is actually graduating. that is something that i would like to see move forward. there are enough creative people in the community where we can make sure that that happens. i wrote a lot of note

i never wanted to be a politician had i been, i would have signaled that many years ago. so i am still of the position that i will not be running for this job. i know there will be a strong effort the next few weeks to convince me otherwise. we will let that play out, but that is where i am at. i never look at myself as a politician. >> [inaudible] >> i think it is more appropriate for me to focus on the things that i asked the voters to pay attention to. i have not really paid attention to either of the candidates for what they are saying. right now, to me, that is it a distraction. -- or what they are saying. i will not be endorsing anyone for any office. i do need to focus on the pension reform, sales tax, and on the road repaving, as my contribution to the voters. i think that is a lot already for people to understand. i think people will have to make up their mind about the other candidates they choose. but i hope they hold a session with you because you have some good questions. >> when you talk to supervisors, some say that you promised not to run. >> that was the

[laughing] i learned something, too. i guess i better stand up. [laughing] i'm really honored to be here. i'm the toy department. i write novels about the types of cases that lawyers like tony handle. in the daytime i work for a big law firm of the type that tony probably would not hold in the highest of esteem, but i'm delighted to be here. you know, i think if you talked to most authors, they will tell you that there is something hot-wired into our system that says we need to try to tell a story. there is nothing at all in my background. i am an absolutely accidental writer. there is nothing in my background which suggests i should be writing novels. i grew up in chicago. i write books about san francisco. i studied accounting at the university of illinois. i have been a corporate and securities attorney for 28 years. i've now written seven best-selling novels about murder trials, death penalty cases, and courtroom drama. i have never handled a criminal case in my life. [laughing] so all of you out there who are thinking of writing novels, there

i said, i don't know. sells a lot of stuff. >> you never saw the movie she did with her boyfriend? >> no, i'm sorry. >> there was some talent. you are right. it is the height of ego to look at a commercial and say, that's me. that's me. i watched an old flinstone and i sawed from flinstone and thought -- >> that girl looks like her and she can say, you look like me. >> i must disfigure you. bill, this happened to you, billy jean king sued you over the same thing a couple years ago? >> no, no, no. i sued billy jean king. she was -- look, billy jean king is old and busted. i'm the new hotness. she was at an autograph show pretending to be me. people were hitting her, but she was making money. i sued her for the bruises and the bucks. >> do you shop at old navy? >> yeah. >> old navy is great when you lose your lug luggage. you can go in there and buy -- or if you don't want to buy laundry you can buy new ones. >> it is like the taco bell. >> it is called old navy, but no epilepse. >> the crown plaza hotel is

i guess i can itself empower. i had some questions on page 46. is it ok? can i deviate from this discussion? page 46 of the new budget booklet. i noticed that on page 46, on the proposed budget for 2011 and 12, there were some words that were changed and i could not figure out why they were changed. the revenues went up. it was not by much, but it went up by $300,000 or so. i do not know where that came from. the expenses went down i guess $2.50 million. i am just curious. where did we cut? and there is i guess the revenue -- these numbers below would be related to how you answer it. there is one more question. at the bottom of the page, if you could explain -- at the bottom note, there are benefits cost increases and for low savings. in the june 14 document, you have put $5,368,000. it was reduced in this document to $2,687,000. i want an explanation of how that happened. that is on page 46 and i have questions on two other pages. >> before you start, could i point out one thing? i just wanted to say that the first reading document that the vice president

since >> i have -- i have lived in district 6 -- 5 i did not make that up. i just picked it up. i have lived in the district since 78 with a few years in the castro and one year and oregon. i am retired from the california department of justice as a paralegal. my main qualifications is my interest in the area and my interest in urbana be in general. i have been attending the project committee and the central market partnerships for the last several months. i am a member of plan see. the people are trying to get a grocery store there in the tenderloin. i was disappointed that the original one decided not to rebuild their. that was very sad. in the midmarket, i am hopeful that the city plays can get their funding together to help the crescent heights break ground in august, as i have been told they would. i am thrilled that the twitter thing was approved. i am hoping that trinity -- i see that there during the second phase. i am glad about that. of the international hostel at seventh and market can get something going, besides just having those ugly old plywood- covered -- well, t

i do know that when i read "presumed innocent" on an airplane in 1988, i decided that if i ever get around to writing the novel that i probably will never write, it will be a courtroom novel. and scott didn't invent the genre. neither did john grisham. earl stanley gardner was writing courtroom drama in the 1930's and 1940's. "anatty of a murder" came out in 1958. first we have "to kill a mockingbird," which most lawyers and most lawyer authors will tell you is kind of the seminal work of why we got interested. and i started writing a novel as i was approaching my 40th birthday. i wrote most of it on a ferry going to and from work every day. it took me three years. and that book became "special circumstances," story of a murder in a big law firm. it came out in 2000 and spent seven weeks on "the new york times"' bestsellers' list. so for those of you who have bought my books, i thank you, because now i don't have to practice law full-time anymore. >> but all kidding aside, you know, i think crime novelists and readers of crime novels whether it's lawyer books or whether it's private detect

i was honestly one of the best friends of mine right i thought i was going to pass out i was so happy. there was my wife and my daughter that had seemed ready here and it was just almost too good to be true it was wonderful. of the same time though it was only so wonderful because i'd spent the last year away from them in iraq which was terrible and so when the t.v. camera man came up to me and asked me some questions i told him out of the bat i said i'm really glad to be home i'm proud of my service but i am against the war in iraq and i know that some family members and some friends weren't pleased that i said that i thought it was maybe inappropriate at the time but if every soldier comes home and they just say that they're glad to be home the knowns going to know the truth about what's going on in iraq. just. puts a. slight list of things a spin it may be disappointing sabse net states will be seen in places where it looks good and so for people on the field one hundred plus to the to the city seems to me as you know maybe a push. in the salt lake. city. police is. at least someth
