gardner apprenticeships program. it is the first apprenticeships program in the state of california in which we had our first class. not only a budget measure, but a very important work force development and professional standards development to give people an entry into the profession and teach them a certain level of professional standards. even with limited resources, this year has seen a very dramatic expansion of summer day camps. we will be offering 30,000 -- capacity for 30,000 programmer reservations for day camps, including early morning and after-school care for working families. a very robust scholarship fund. it has seen an overall increase of about 16% in recreation programming because of the way we have restructured. that translates to an additional 20,000 hours of programs offered in our departments. supervisor chu: did use a 16%? >> it reflects a 16% increase in the amount of programs we offer. -- did you say 16%? supervisor chu: i'm sorry, you said for the expansion of the summer day camps, what does

the fire department's deputy chief of operations, patrick gardner is here this evening to answer any questions you may have on this issue. also during public comment portion over the meeting, we heard speakers who raised other issues concerning the project. many of the comments did not address environmental issues but rather were expressions of the opposition to the project. public opinion regarding the merits of the project is not a topic of concern for the certification of the e.i.r. although you may wish to take such comments into account during your consideration of the project entitlement. some of the comments raised did address some environmental issues. i would like to reference to cal transletter we referred to earlier. dated april 20, yesterday. and this letter generally expresses support for e.i.r. and basically looks forward to further consultation with the city. thank you. >> further consultation with the city in those regards. there were a couple of minor issues. one regarding requesting signage on the island to indicate to motorists that they may need to wait for a whil

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 detectives or cops, you know, in my world i'm like -- unlike tony's, i can control the outcome. i can get justice in my books because i can fix the ending. and i start -- and most authors do i start with the ending. i know who
