and lo and behold tony serra walks into my court representing the defendant. i couldn't imagine why he was there for a simple misdemeanor assault case, but he was. and i thought, boy, this is just my luck. here i've got this famous tony serra, he's renown, he's in the press all the time, he has had a movie made about him, and i bet he's an arrogant jerk, and i get him. first trial he's going to make me look really bad. and this poor d.a., we're just going to look terrible. well, lo and behold tony serra comes in. he's a wonderful gentleman. he's gracious. he knows i've never tried a case to a jury. he knows that the d.a. has tried two cases to a jury. he guided us through this trial. he put on a fabulous show, as is his want, which was instructional and very, very interesting. he never took advantage of my inexperience or the d.a.'s experience. and by the end of the day when that trial was over -- of course, he won. but nobody on that jury would have ever suspected that i had never tried a case to a jury or that the d.a. had not had any experience, virtually,

my brow cooled in the heat of the day and lifting his arms in praise, dinka cried come now elders behold my beloved son. mother earth appears first ageless and forever beautiful, she kissed the baby and spoke softly, see how he grabs my finger. already strong like my mountain son. i a woman leaped into the air and swirled majestically in a flaming red. it is a sign he will be an inspired leader inspiring and courageous. she blew the child a warm kiss that made him cool. sang to the child in old lull hra byes. a boy has come and laughter has come. a son has come and beauty has come. then the child gurgled and replied even now i can hear the music in his voice. suddenly wind spirits swished in turning and made the baby happily, we'll dance through the tall grass as you and i forever free. he is taken, he is taken aboard the ship and the elements go out and look for him and they do find him in, win finds him in south carolina in charleston, earth went looking for him. after earth fire, she could not get passed the fire. water follow it had ship and wind was able to go across and follow and

lo and behold, supervisor elsbernd was there for prop c. now what has happened between 2004 and now? i think it is because supervisor elsbernd has not been able to get his way on the board. all that is going to happen with this change is is going to be to the city's benefit, not to the retirees or active benefits. this is an absolute dereliction of duty by fiduciary responsibility. we must take this out of the proposal. commissioner kim: thank you. >> i would like to put this into the record. commissioner kim: thank you. is there any other public comment at this time? again, if you do not stand, i will not know that you want to speak. >> my name is herbert. i am a retired city employee. one thing about this proposal, one thing about this proposal, for the restructuring of hea

it's simply inappropriate is in the eye of the beholder and allowing someone who paid for a ticket to be thrown off a plane because an employee doesn't like the way she dressed, it's troubling. >> we have to remember, 40 years ago men with long hair or beards, they say a it's a lot of discrimination. it's ridiculous that that would be the case. fashion has changed. and it's a problem when the times don't change with them. >> deshon marman was in the bay area to speak at a funeral of his friend, he was another stand out football star who was shot several times and died this month. the former coach of the young men said nobody in the situation is right. >> my gut reaction is, where is common sense, in terms of deshon marman pulling up his pants when asked to and then the agents of the thousand of people that board every day with saggy pants, why is it you draw the line on this particular young man. >> deshon marman will make his first court appearance tomorrow afternoon. >>> new details in the joseph naso case. he is expected of killing four women in the bay area in the 1970s and $19s.

lo and behold, this happened outside of a martial arts academy, where he worked and actually teaches brazilian jujitsu to many of the kids in the neighborhood. not surprising to many of the people, he came to the rescue of this individual who was an undercover police officer, putting the suspect into a chokehold and forcing them into submission. and in the process avoiding tragedy and preventing further injury to the officer and the individual who was involved. a little bit more about him, his co-workers have said in the article that it would not be the first time he has come to help a friend or a stranger, but that this is the kind of person that he is and he has dedicated his life to teaching this to so many kids in the neighborhood. it is my honor to give you this commendation today and i would thank you for being a hero and believing in and serving other people. i will now turn this over. >> thank you very much. i wanted to take a moment to show our appreciation. we're all committed to making certain that the city remains safe. when we have residence like you, it fills our heart

and run out of serial, you can scan the bar code, it will add it to your shopping list and low and behold, there's a coupon available. >> reporter: the digital coupon business is ballooning these days. coupons.com is on a roll. shoppers want to save money and want the convenience of finding coupons on pcs and smartphones. >> all the coupons are for serial. >> reporter: more than 3 billion coupons were distributed last year. >> everything we are seeing and being told is this is a new learned behavior. a new demographic, a tech savvy consumer looking for savings before they start their shopping experience. >> reporter: they will still see big business even when the economy improves. these days, if you are ready to shop, you are probably looking to save. yes, there are several companies that are red hot in this space. coupons.com asks that you remember, they are the one with the "c". >> that's right. some of those extreme couponing shows. have you seen those? they save $800. they get $800 worth of groceries for 59 cents. >> if you have the time, you can save a pretty dime. i encourage that.

it is all in the eye of the beholder, particularly if you live there it is just not safe. that says a lot about what we need to do in terms of enforcement. we have great loss on the book. but if they're not getting in forced, -- we have great laws on the book, but if they're not getting in forced. we need to improve that area. >> let's talk about crime. how do you think the police department is doing? how do you think the city is addressing the issue of crime? >> the way we have been handling it is a marked improvement from where we were 10 years ago. the notion of community policing is instilled within the department. talking to the merchants associations and neighborhood groups, i felt that the connections between those organizations and the police is vastly improved. that provides a sense of safety. it is almost the same as a foot patrol officer walking the beat. knowing that you can contact your captain or surgeon and they will be responsive is a critical piece of the notion of well being and being safe. our department has done a very good job on that over the last few

they show to retire, and lo and behold, they had no idea when they left city service -- they are not going to get that when fall -- windfall? >> this is true. this is particularly in the area of the pending coverage. supervisor elsbernd: the changes we need to adopt today. >> by way of disclosure. i have already mentioned the so- called best thing retirement, which i think is the most significant. -- vesting retirement. they had 50,100 thousand control points, and we believed those would go up. not to exceed 3.5% a year, but to accord with the cost of living. it has roughly tracked what has happened with wages. these are affected distinctions that now exist. we also reject is so it -- i am trying to find some that are not corrections'. we deleted some language that we determined was not necessary, regarding medicare and retiree health-care. we believe that was an option to deal with those in light of health care reform. the proposed bargaining units would only become members of the retirement system upon mutual agreement. labour requested language to be more specific on that point. i

could educational quality be like beauty in the eye of the beholder? or does the test score say it all? we went back to ps-1 to find out more. >> nice and loud especially on the vowels. >> reporter: our search for answers began in rachael hunt's first grade classroom. we found her students getting a lesson in phonics, the building block of reading. they're learning that letters make sounds, that groups of letters make different sounds. and that when you put those letters together, they make words. it may appear to be a simple lesson but it's not. ms. hunt's students seem to be getting it. what we are doing is called decoding, but decoding is only half the battle. understanding what the words mean is a much harder skill called comprehension. which is where many children fall flat. >> with your eyes closed, no cheating. >> reporter: to test that skill i took over the class. i asked the kids to close their eyes and wrote a nonsense story on the board. >> okay. are you ready to read this story? is there anything wrong with that story? >> yes. >> what's wro

if you ever had a chance to see him in court, it's just a sight to behold. it really is. we're so grateful that he could be here today. he's trying a triple homicide case right now in oakland. he has a jury out waiting. you may get called away but we're hope you're able to stay for the panel.
