i don't think -- you know, i mean, god. how do you -- you know, if i could go back through my whole life and not make all the mistakes i would make, sure. yeah. i would be a perfect person. >> i got as far as the very early part of the book where i start reading how your father hit you. >> mm-hmm. >> punched you. not talking about just a smacked bottom or something. this is like -- >> i probably deserved it. i was a pretty bad kid. >> but a proper punch is different, isn't it? >> i think getting punched in the face by my dad was like, whoa, there is a lot of hate there. that wasn't love. >> horrible. i hated reading it. >> yeah. it sucked, you know? >> why was he like that? why was he so angry do you think? >> i think it was probably learned behavior. people are taught everything, you know? he probably learned it from someone else or his dad or someone in his family. you know, i don't think that stuff comes out of the blue. i think there was problems with probably substance abuse and stuff like that. you know, i don't really

i just can't -- like, i just -- you know, i -- i don't know. how i survived in there as long as i did because it's just like you're cool, but the rest of those people, i just, i can't hang with them. i just -- i don't know. it's -- >> are they all pretty fake, is that what you're saying? >> it's just pretend. it's not real. i'm like the guy that goes to a shop, and i don't hang out in the office. i go to the back of the shop and hang out in the shop with the guys that are greasy dirty, and that's where i belong. it's more about myself and where i belong in this world, and i don't belong, you know, in trying to think that i'm fancy because my wife is fancy and that makes me fancy. it's [ bleep ]. >> and yet that's kind of why you went into the relationship. >> yeah, i think so. i think it was a lot of ego and a lot of perception of what i thought i should have, not what i needed, and i think it was more, you know, a testament to what i felt about in my level. >> do you think you're capable now of being faithful? >> i think so, you know. i think

know. i went to school for eight years. so i mean i can't ignore that. >> with you got something out of it. >> yeah. >> so but now the roles that i, you know, am happy with and are proud of are ones where i kind of go with my instincts. so whatever that is inside me that's telling me to do certain things, i guess you could says that's me. i don't know where it came from. >> some convergence between skill and instinct. >> yeah. >> when you did the oscars were you in your comfort zone? >> yeah. i was. the oscars are a sensitive subject. >> rose: why? why is it sensitive. i mean you are a man who has tried everything. we've already said that you are not scared of what people might say. you want the experience. you are prepared to go out there you're not trying to be ulysses, you are trying to be -- >> yeah. and i said it beforehand. i did a twitter thing before the oscars and said this could be horrible. and it's to the because i went out there and tried to sabotage it or because i was ill rehea

i don't know. >> hi, i drove through and a half hours, but from corpus. [laughter] do you have any -- obviously libraries are important or i would assume so in your research and as a former librarian because budget cuts are awesome, do you have any words to advocate, just, you know, telling how important libraries have been to your process? >> oh, in case texas legislatures are watching c-span at 7 a.m. in the morning? [laughter] >> i had to try. >> i'm not going to reinvent the wheel. yes, libraries have been very important to me. that's where the books are. [laughter] you know? [laughter] i mean, when i was -- i spent the first 11 years of my life in a tiny, tiny, tiny town in oklahoma with no library. at the school, there was one shelf with books on it, and you could take them home, but you went through the books quick. at 11 years old, my family moved to a college town in montana that had more than one library, you know? that first summer, my -- i mean, and the sidewalks. they had sidewalks also

i didn't know at that time what i was undertaking. i heard it said with irish american it's not genealogy it's archaeology. i found out about that later. it's exciting to hear the nuts and bolts experience of discovery. and at the same time i know i heard from both of you that a very spiritual and unmeasurable experience happens of people come alive in the histories of your family's lives. i was wondering if you could bring alive for the audience the individuals or characters of your family's history and also if you can both reflect on this point that daniel's making of the importance in going to the lands and seeing what is there. what that experience was like for you personally. >> i thought i would read a bit at this point. i think this is a good point for that for me. and so you will hear a little bit of what my writings been like in this experience when i went to ireland for the first time in january of 2007. i was actually lucky enough to find a man in his late 80's who lived in the same area that my family had lived in the 1800

i don't know. i think -- >> you know what i mean. fame is such a sort of magnet to people, isn't it? >> kind of. a little bit. i mean, i think fame is great until the day comes when you are afraid to leave your house alone and then the day when your name is used as an adjective in a negative way. >> it's interesting. it's like culture, isn't it, of envy, of resentment of people's success. i mean, that goes with the territory, doesn't it? >> yeah. >> are you equipped to deal with all this? >> sometimes. sometimes not. sometimes i do get very overwhelmed with it, and sometimes -- i'm quite frightened by it, to be honest. >> it is scary. >> it is scary. it's very scary. and there really is a whole other world people don't see. they always see in front of the camera. they never really see the behind-the-scenes stuff. >> what's behind-the-scenes stuff with you? >> the security risks and the security issues that are very frightening that people don't know about, because i don't want them to know about. but -- >> what's the scariest thing t

piers, i didn't even know i had it still.o i took it down and i was having it, you know, dry-cleaned and whatever, put away again because it had been opened. well, immediately i start crying because this dress was a mess, the one i designed, and the lady who was helping me, she goes, where's that dress? i said it's at the dry cleaners. so we called them up and said, have you started cleaning it yet? they said no, we haven't. i said i need it back. and i put it on and it fit. yeah. it's crazy. >> so you're the same size exactly as you were 26, 27 years ago? >> i had to let it out just a tiny bit right across my upper back. and, you know, just like that much. >> there are women all over america going, i wish i could get into my dress -- >> it was a waist cinch belt. i was so happy. >> what did you think, donny, when you saw her in that dress again? >> it was beautiful. i have a picture up in my dressing room that -- they gave me the picture. >> did you get it? >> yeah. >> i left a picture. >> and i started crying. there's my si

i didn't know what i was doing, but we called it new jack swing. and new jack swing ain't nothing but every type of music mashed into one song. thanks for people like baby face and teddy riley, you know, we had a good run. we really started something that is still relevant today in music. so i'm just grateful to be a part of it. tavis: we talked earlier about the voice. how, on this new project, "the masterpiece," how would you describe the content, the sound of the music? you just described what new jack swing was back in the day. is it the same thing, is it different? how would you describe the sound? >> it's a gum boat. it's a little bit of rock and roll, a little bit of r&b. i just think what we're doing now is music that people can so on the radio, you know. somebody needs to sing about love. somebody needs to sing about having a good time. tavis: and some melody. >> yeah, with a melody, with some sub substance. that's how we say it at home. so that's what this album -- this music is, man, it's just fun-loving music. i'm pretty sure that people

i know that deep down in your heart you wish that our society really cared about kids. based on the ways that we make decisions that on funding in all levels of government, i think it be better at the local level. i am glad that we have folks like you doing the work. providers who are making these really difficult decisions about how we spend our resources. thank you for that. we will go on to public comment. we are open for public comment on item #6. seeing no one come forward, we will close public comment. this item we can move forward with recommendations and without objection. madam clerk, could you please call our last item? >> item number 7. ordinance amending san francisco transportation code, division i, by amending section 7.2.30 to establish a two hour maximum time limit for parking at inoperable or broken parking meters for on-street parking, and adding section 7.2.65 to establish a two hour maximum time limit for parking at inoperable or broken parking meters for off-street parking. supervisor avalos: welcome. >> good morning. thank you for hearing this item

i don't know. maybe i'll start to like it the more i see myself looking different. >> when did chaz know he was meant to be a man? how did he break the news to his partner jennifer? and his mother cher? chaz bono, his first live primetime interview. this is "piers morgan tonight." chaz bono tells huz story in the new book "transition: the story of how i became a man" and "becoming chaz" on oprah winfrey's network. i watched you on david letterman last night. one of the most amusing encounters i've seen on a talk show in years. he was so uncomfortable. he didn't know quite how to handle you. quite how to deal with what you were telling him, the enormity of what you'd gone through. what was it like for you last night? >> you had a really good time. i like dave a lot. i've always been a fan. he's got this history with my family. so i really wanted to go on the show. i thought he represented a lot of people who really don't know about this issue. so it gave me a great opportunity to break it down, you k

like, i know... i mean, like, i saw the changes that it made, number one, in people's lives when they saw themselves as a powerful being. when they realized that they could do something to make this world a better place, and they were. you know, when they put a green roof up, when they actually worked as a part of an urban forestry, you know, steward team. that they knew they were providing a real benefit to the environment, and they felt that power. i mean, that was incredible stuff. >> hinojosa: and plus, they were getting paid, right? >> absolutely! so they knew that they had... it was like the dignity of work, the dignity of the kind of work they were doing, and i was just like, "ts is a model that we need to take out. this is exact... like, how do we help other, you know, communities, municipalities, regions around the country do this?" >> hinojosa: and one of the places where you found some lessons i think was unexpected to you, which is bogota, columbia. >> oh, yes, uh-huh. >> hinojosa: and aga

i do not know if it was the d.a. i do not know if it was the officers. they told me it was the d.a. >> also in the narrative, if you look at it, it was mentioned "wise" four times. -- "white" four times. president mazzucco: he is doing a good job speaking for himself. i will explain, though we do not normally do this. the office of the deal makes a decision on whether or not to pursue a case. it is not the police department or the police commission. it is the voters. >> ok, so it is the voters. there is no one i can go to about it being dropped. president mazzucco: you can go to the assistant d.a. who does misdemeanor intake, and the general number for that office is 55 3-1752, and ask for the misdemeanor into a. they will tell you what happens with the case, sir -- and ask for misdemeanor intake. next speaker. >> good evening. my name is eric king. i came before this commission on april 27, and last week, -- president mazzucco: clyde, hold it down. i am sorry. clyde, clyde. >> i came before the commission on april 27, and last week, may 18, tried to get

i didn't even know i had it still, and so i took it down and i was having it, you know, dry cleaned andr, put away again because it had been opened. well, immediately i started crying because this dress was a mess, the one i designed and the lady who was helping me said where is that dress. it's at the dry cleaners. we said have you started cleaning it yet? no, we haven't. i said i need it back! and it fit. >> you're the same size exactly as you were 26, 27 years ago. >> i had to let it out a tiny bit across my upper back, and, you know, just like that much. >> there are women all over america going i wish i could get in my dress. >> i was so happy. >> when you saw yourself, what did you think, donnie, when you saw her in that dress again. >> it's beautiful. i have a picture in my dressing room -- >> did you get it? i left a picture up this for him. >> i started crying, there's my sister in her original wedding dress -- >> back with the guy. >> it's a picture of my wife and myself, steve, and marie, and it's just -- it's one of my favorite pictures right now. >> we're going to take anot

i don't know if he wants to say anything about the e.p.a. that he observed. i'll put him on the spot here. can i frame this differently? i appreciate all of that. i think that is great but we still have a lag in our middle schools and it feels like we have -- we have done this and it is great that they are getting the support but i wonder if there are any incentives that we're considering to draw lead sbeers the middle school arena. it is the same school that we have really had some challenges with. in elementary and high school we are seeing some really great leaps and bounds. the ways in which our leadership has changed, middle school, it feels like, it is very different. it hasn't had the same kind of momentum that our elementary and high schools have had. i was surprised even with our high schools the momentum that has kind of picked up on that. i don't know what it is or why it is that that -- middle schools have kind of stayed the same or maybe they haven't and i'm just -- this is my own perception. but i'm wondering how in terms of leadership we're able

i know this will not come in a particular way. this is no silver bullet. this is not a particular a efficiency or parking a share. this is a little bit of everything. i am hoping to be able to make certain that these are distributed throughout the whole city, and i take great pride in the fact that i am the son of mexican immigrants. i have a history of working with the non-english speaking communities. it will be a priority to have the mark with this -- and i am also very sensitive to the needs of seniors. my parents will be turning in their keys very soon, and they are able to walk around and maybe depending on the system more than they do today. this is a major component of our population. i hope that will be making a better future -- for the seniors that we can anticipate. for a child that is 8 years old -- this is safe enough for everyone. i live at the top of the hill, where i can see cars regularly come over 16th and there are traffic accidents there, regularly -- not every day, but frequently, car accidents that could've easily been prevented, with

i don't know. i thought it was all dramedy comedy. i never know what i'm doing. tegories what it is i'm doing actually. >> jimmy: yeah, but it's good. "nurse jackie" is back up again. it's like -- it's happening. it's a huge hit. congratulations. >> thank you. >> jimmy: i read somewhere that you guys had a problem with putting on the rubber gloves or just the rubber gloves in general? >> oh, among other things, but yes. we tried to make the stuff look legitimate. we have people on set, nurses and such showing us how to make it look real. after a while i was like, "you know what? i can't do this." so we start -- now they just shoot me from here up. i'm going like this down here. i'm trying to make it look like i know what i'm doing. but at first, i really tried to do the stuff. it's too hard. it's too hard. >> jimmy: just putting them on? >> putting -- you have no idea. yes. putting the gloves on. it's a whole big -- >> jimmy: well, we're about to find out. >> oh, look what you have. [ laughter ] am i about to get fired from my day job? >> jimmy: no, not at all. bu

i heard that today. and you know, it's scary because i felt like that's another somebody i have to see in the hospital or hear their mother have to hear the news their son just died. >> i see them if i person tries to talk to me. they don't even know my po. you came in, you would be like no. >> tell me about it. >> he's been through the same stuff. she been shot. been through the projects. i am connected. he opened up to me and gave me his cell phone number. >> because some times i am down. i been in the hospital for almost 2 months and i will be here for my birthday and halloween. my dad's birthday was today. i am misses out on a lot of stuff. my mouth is wired shut. my arm is to be big. my leg is big. right now, i can't eat anything else. >> the older patients. kids who are 14, 15, 13, we even had a 9 years old. so younger people getting shot with higher caliber weapons. we are seeing kids shot with machine guns. semiautomatic weapons. >> it's not different than the wild, wild west. the kids, you know, if you worke

i know we're both so grateful. we always knew we would do something together again. >> if i spend 48 hours with my sister, bottles could start being thrown in my direction. >> i'm telling you, bottles are thrown. >> i've heard that about you. >> it wouldn't be by me. >> come on, let's call it the way it is. we do rub each other wrong every once and a while. that's what works for donny and marie on stage. everybody can relate to it who has a sibling, but there's something about this relationship that works on stage. >> you say it's almost unique, i'd say, in show business, your relationship, a brother and sister, who have been doing what you're doing for so long who still like each other. >> well, let's don't push it. >> well, you know, there is a different relationship as we have matured. definitely, it's not 14 and 16 years old anymore. but there's a mutual respect. and it's nice to be out there with somebody who they can tell if something's not working they're there to cover each other. whatever it is. >> it just

i know i liked to take a day off from school. we are thrilled to have familiar faces on hand for the celebration, which is the culmination of an effort by pacific gas and electric and the unified school district to teach leadership and call skills to students in -- golf skills in 21 different san francisco elementary schools. that is a wonderful opportunity. as a a board member and a professional golfer, it is wonderful to see seven people having a chance to -- to see so many people having a chance to learn the skills provided by the game of golf. i would like to thank the pg&e president. [applause] mayor ed lee. and deputy school superintendent richard for taking the time to join us today. i would like to introduce one of our biggest supporters in san francisco who also is a great golfer himself. mayor ed lee. mayor lee: thank you. good morning, everyone. i do not know about being a great golfer, but if i can brag for a moment -- how many of you have a hole in one. how many of you had three? [laughter] ok. those kids have their

i just can't like -- i just, you know, i don't know. , i mean, you're cool. but the rest of those people, i just kind of hang with them. i just -- i don't know. >> are they all pretty fake, a that what you're saying? >> i'm real. i'm the guy that goes to the shop and i don't hang out in the office, i go in the back and hang out with all the guys that are all greasy dirty. it's where i belong in this world and i don't belong trying to think that i'm some fancy, you know, because my wife is fancy, that makes me fancy. it's just [ bleep ]. >> and yet that's kind of why you went into the relationship, to listen to you earlier. >> yeah, i think so, it was a lot of ego and a lot of perception of what i thought i should have and not what i needed. i think it was more of a testament of what i felt about myself. >> do you think you're capable now of being faithful? >> i think so. i think it's something that's like a conscious, day to day, you know, thought process and, you know, i think i'm vocal with cat that if i don't get something that i'm ne

i don't know how that works out. but there are a couple of questions for him that i would like to ask. but he's not here. i don't know if there's any way we can get him over here or i don't know how you proceed in that situation. but there's a couple of things he said that just doesn't make sense to me. and it's just -- you know, he stated that my employee checked the i.d. and sold to a minor. my employee never had a chance to see the i.d. it was dropped on the counter and picked right back up. the place was busy, i'm sure he was, you know, trying to get everybody out in time and -- but i would like to speak with the inspector regarding how the i.d. was submitted to my employee and why it was taken away so abruptly. i don't know the psychological effect this being used is used as a protocol on the way they handle this type of situation or not, but, you know, a psychological matter like that has a lot to do with the way somebody goes ahead and does business. when you walk in and ask somebody for an i.d. and they give i

i don't know. retty proud of myself. but when i not back to the prom, i was still pretty wet. i could tell that my date didn't like it, so, i dried off. but then she got, like, real mad and said, i'm not going to prom with you, you robbed a fountain and the fountain is for everyone. she left me after that. but anyways, it wasn't so bad. so, i took the money and i went to the store and i bought twizzlers because i love twizzlers. they're my favorite candy. and then i went home. so, yeah, that was it. i almost got into prom but not quite. it was close. [ applause ] >> jimmy: you see, the fountain is for everyone. and one more thing. it's thursday night, it's time for our weekly tribute to the fcc where we bleep and blur things whether they need it or not. it's "this week in unnecessary censorship." >> 25 of the most eligible bachelors in america have traveled to [ bleep ] ashley. >> 25 years and i'm still saying [ bleep ] you, america. >> the irish prime minister, he was introducing the president. the

yeah i know it's a valid point i think you're going to break into your calls and you know hockey you . procter and gamble product i don't know how whatever i did i did read that it might get my life might get more awesome for x.-box users gamers might be able to have face time with each other when they're when they're playing they can. hear you like you know what you did i don't like that way ok lastly i just love people that make stupid nine one one call it's like they called after confiscating weed meeting so many pot brownies here's a guy that actually called nine one one and asked them to going to. i mean so the idea of charging this guy for five hundred dollars because he had called nine one something like seventy nine times in the past year and i think any ire should be higher but you know i'm thinking like all these policies are having you know real fiscal issues here's a way to raise some money you know start doing your runs for people if they're going to go out to their houses on no also. that i think you know insulting that this guy is wasting a cop's time it's. finally in

that that's what i want i know when i get sick i want to be able to pay for my medical care i know i don't have any teeth in my head but i'm worth three million dollars so i want to be able to go to a dentist and get some teeth in my head i think that's one thing and another thing is i think that would be undergirded would be something like twitter coming on and saying hey listen i said i wanted this would you say and people would be able to talk outside of it but i'm not talking about a system but that that's putting information on top of us i'm talking about us being very aggressive with the technology and of course is going to be problems with it but you should listen the problems that we have today in america are not your mental so my saying well i'm worried that i might not you know be doing good i know i know a guy who was a therapist he had a guy come to me said well you know i do drugs and i do alcohol and i think that the sex and. and the guy said well listen i think you should come to therapy say oh no i can't do that so why would someone i don't want to be dependent. but t

and i know john is here with his family. his father. mr. osaki and his daughter, san and wife, julie, let's give it up to john osaki. [applause]. >> before i say anything. can we real quick give it up for john adachi. you know. i really want to think jeff for his leadership. his willingness. you have extended your office and given us this opportunity to create positive change in your schools, in our streets and i really want to thank you for that. i want to just make a couple quick announcements. to my colleagues. i am show proud what we have accomplished. we have given a voice to many who have suffered in silence. i want to acknowledge 2 individuals who have carried out our mission. you met angela chan from the asian law office. can you give it up for them. i also want to say to be members of the safety america partnership. our efforts have been over lookd and unappreciated, but i know what tremendous contributions we have made to the quality of life in our neighborhoods. i am looking forward to continuing that in the future. it feels acwar

just as we look at implementing our by plan -- i know we are looking at city-wide, but i offered to see that a great deal of the resources go in the center part of the city, and a few would go out towards excelsior and son said, and to the extent that we are able to prioritize and make more things happen out that way, i think we will be getting our goals of being a transit-first city. to the extent i want to encourage you to do that, i would love to see that. >> ok, thank you. supervisor avalos: thank you. we will open this up to public comment -- or, supervisor, do you have questions? supervisor mar: i was going to, on that. looks like the repair for sidewalks and disability improvement programs are based on analysis and prioritizing of the areas that need it the most, and also in conjunction with the mayor's office of disability. i know that a number of improvements i have been seeing already on different -- in different recorders, but my hope is that the neighborhoods with the most need are considered first, and it looks like that is the process. and then, for the mta proposals, it l

when i first came to caminos, i didn't know anything about computers. the second thing is i have become -- i have made some great achievements as an individual in my family and in things of the world. >> it's a real issue of self-empowerment where new immigrant families are able to communicate with their families at home, able to receive news and information in their own home language, really become more and more connected with the world as well as connected even inside their local communities. >> if we value the diversity of our city and we value our diverse neighborhoods in the city, we need to ensure that they remain economically viable. equiping them and equiping residents in those areas with jobs that will enable them to stay in san francisco is critical to that. >> the important thing that i see here at caminos is it helps the low income community, it helps the women who wouldn't have this opportunity otherwise. >> the workers with more education in san francisco are more likely to be able to working that knowledge sector. where they are going to n

i don't know you tell me sir you're the lieutenant. i said i do you know i heard a gunshot that went over our heads and i said that you're heard to say well the open fire. i don't know. where when we did the reconnaissance and as we're driving by. as we're driving body bodies i'm looking down at the at the ground and not seen any any weapons they were wearing traditional. dollar pose and. course they were soaked in red with blood. now caught myself for a split second i said. you know these people didn't have any weapons we just shot at a bunch of the norm. protestors. and then a little voice and then your head goes off and so well that's war. that's what happens in war. i just i'll be honest with you chalked it up. i really do. you know. how did we know. so on after we arrived in coaching we didn't know that we had built the basic out. these complex tunnels. so what it was keep for a lot more space. by sniper fire or at times and mortar fire. or felt that we had everything or in against us right there would just be a car on. the creatur

and so, you know, my dad... iremember my mom telling me, you know, "your dad has a whole new appreciation for how difficult your job is because he's staying up at night trying to think of rhymes for 'size' in spanish." >> hinojosa: you... part of, i think, why this... this show has become so successful is because you kind of confront what a lot of young people are dealing with-- this kind of bifurcated existence. which is on the one hand, you are completely latino in your home-- in your barrio, in your neighborhood-- and then you leave and you went to a very high-performing public school... >> yeah. >> hinojosa: ...in manhattan, but it was like two different worlds. >> absolutely. i mean, i commuted to... to a low-middle class barrio, to the richest zip code in the country every day for school since kindergarten. you know, i would go from 200th street to 94th and park, and so i... i absorbed that schism so early that it wasn't until college and i stepped back from it that i really gave myself permission to write a

i do not know, but i do know that we have work to be done, and so far, all the work that we have done has been for naught. commissioner murphy: i think the commissioners are really trying to work with you here. 30 days, 60 days. commissioner lee: anybody else want to weigh in? >> i would move 60 days, give him time to interview some folks come and get it done. >> and get references. you have to get references. >> and now you know they need permits. that is the permit in place? >> there was a permit obtained. let me find a deep fear. in may. may 21, 2010. he was going to the corrections on the back water valve, from what i was told. but like i said, no inspections have happened. i do not know if you are still using him or not. them of the permit that the gentleman is just speaking about was actually a permit to take the place of a permit that was presented to us for 149 buena vista avenue. the gross for a different owner, a different address. subsequently, i believe that this permit was somehow -- the corrected permits for the one that should have taken place in 2006, not a permit to t

i didn't know the alphabet in between. i was nervous and i took one step at a time very japanese like. i began to study and read everything i could find on the japanese culture. the incredible thing was not having everything that went into it and it still became a quiet book. there is a tsunami. there's tv and lep easier and a fire. i call it my zen book i think it's because as i was learning about the japanese culture, all of that started to go into the book. and it gave me the structure of what the book would become, which was very much taking after what a japanese garden it. early on a read about gardens. you don't know where you are going you just read. because japanese gardens are a huge aspect on the culture i started reading on gardens. i love the natural and the idea on how they use the gardens and how much it reads to them i started reading. i read a line like the silk worker line where it embraced me and i thought, that's what i would write about. you never walk from the front gate to the front door in a straight
