now, by 1941 regina had already moved herself and mary flannery to regina's childhood home in the historic district of millageville, and then edward would join them not long after that because, again, the lupus was debilitating him and taking away his strength, and then like i said, he would pass away in february of 1941. so just before her 16th birthday, she has lost her father, and she had very close ties with her father not only as daughter, but she said in another one of her letters that when she sat down to write, she felt like she was writing for the two of them. so it was a very big blow for her. and so was leaving this house, evidently, and in if another letter she would write it's just about as poignant to be torn away from a house as it is a person. her impact on the literary community, i think, was fantastic. she seemed to be well received though she never expected to be well received. she knew that her stories were nonconventional. but she had something to say, usually about the action of grace being visited upon those being willing to see her. but it was a grotesque characters

regina dugan, author steven johnson, economist paul romer, len baker and innovation maven john kao. >> problems are much more serious than most people realize and the consequences are more grave than most people realize. >> but let's get started by first understanding innovation and watching the effect it has had on societies over the last centuries. >>> so, why does innovation matter? helping explain it all for us today is a man who studied innovation from top to bottom, steven johnson. johnson is the author of a terrific book "where good ideas come from: the natural history of innovation" and he'll show us the impact of innovation over time. >> that's. let's start with a long view that shows just how dramatic the change inaugurated by the modern revolution in innovation has been.

and i know regina's here from the small business office as well. >> maybe supervisor wiener? did you want to address this issue and the small business before we start questioning? >> yeah. >> feel free to to come up. >> good evening, commissioners. thank you for having me tonight. i want to thank supervisor mirkarimi for taking the co-sponsor with him. i believe it's a very important legislation. one of my priorities as supervisor has really make sure that we continue to have a vibrant entertainment and night life scene in san francisco and we do in a lot of ways. but there is one hole and you go to -- of course, some other major cultural centers. the person playing the guitar or whatever in a cafe or restaurant where you don't really hear it outside but it is something that has the experience in the establishment. that's something we're missing in san francisco, in terms of the hurdles of being able to get to the point where you can have that minimal level of live music. so i think fills that hole and i think it will just increase both the cultural and economic contribution

and the last thing that i've approached regina about that we're going to be looking into is we have an idea that the small business assistance center website could develop a shared calendar. we all put on workshops, different training opportunities for our clients. and we market them individually as organizations but we would love to have sort of a city centralle place where we would send our clients to that website and then they would find out about the workshops, all the organizations are putting on. so this would be a valuable way that you can help us in promoting the training that we're doing to clients. so i invite any questions that you have for us and thank you for your time and your service. >> thank you. commissioner, dooly? >> i just wanted to thank you so much for what you do. it's so valuable. i just can't thank you enough. >> any other commissioners? >> i just want to tell you, all commissioners that i have recommended these services, repeatedly, mostly to women, young women who are interested in starting their own businesses and i believe i have experienced with each orga

very interesting that regina is not around. so the one on your left relaxed standards a great deal and her friend is sitting exactly how you're supposed to be sitting. i have never seen more message coming out of a person's eyes. the o'connor's, going back to her parents, edward and regina, 1923, moved into an apartment that evidently was unacceptable to a cousin they had my marriage. and we have her photograph on top of the old south radio. cousin katie his name was mary catherine flannery sens was very generous. when she heard that her cousin moved into an apartment, no, she on several pieces of property. this just being one. and so they move again. of course 1925. the house has been historically restored for the most part thanks to the generosity. we were able to do that two dozen 6-2 dozen seven. thanks to a student at savannah college of art and design and needed a master's thesis project for her degree. she did that paint analysis. so this is the color green actually on the wall when the a connoisseur here. she had to wor

i'd like to thank my former aide, regina drizzy, who has a strong business sensibility about her which has been well deployed in this arena here and we've talked about this kind of business environment in us trying to figure out a way that provides, i think, small business with an advantage that had not existed before. we're using the existent geography of the current map already granted by the city and county of san francisco. we're not creating new geography. for the areas that have been permitted, we are simply establishing a new tier for those areas so it would not exacerbate debate of creating new zoning that would allow for this particular area, for gaining limited live performance permits. we are simply just creating the new tier of costs so that those businesses that are approximately 200 square feet or less would be able to then obtain a permit at a much cheaper cost than they would have before. the application with the entertainment commission would be a $385 application fee and $139 annual renewal fee of 30-day neighborhood notification period upon submittal of a completed a

regina is caught halfway across while pushing pearl's stroller when the light changes.river in a high-riding suv doesn't seem to see them, knocks them over, and rolls right over little pearl's stroller. don't cover your eyes, or you're about to miss a miracle. pearl pops up as other drivers stop to help. amazingly, mother and daughter are not seriously hurt. just a few cuts and scrapes. the driver of that suv wassed a first given a summons. but after police reviewed this traffic camera video, they realized the driver couldn't see mom and baby until it was too late. the charges dismissed. it is not a cliche to say this scene is a true nightmare. a train platform in melbourne, australia. a mother turns her 6-month-old's stroller for a moment. moments too long. the stroller roms away, right down to the track. mom lunges forward, just as a 250-ton train barrels right into the station. fearing the worst, she grips her head in horror, then runs toward the front of the the train as it rolls yet another 100 feet down the tracks. can you imagine what was going through her mind?

rebate or receive some sort of production in the cost associated with ness -- with next fiscal year's regina with blue shield. regardless of what form it comes to us, i think is fair to characterize that revenue as a onetime revenue. we would be hard-pressed to characterize it as an ongoing revenue. my question to you is -- a couple of questions. do you know if we will receive any revenue? if so, how much will it be? would you agree that one time revenue should be used for the one time express i believe it should be used for -- a onetime expenses i believe it should be used for, the onetime deposit into our retirees' health fund which is designed to attack what i believe is the city's most crippling debt, our retiree health debt. mayor lee: thank you. i want to take this time to thank you for your leadership on pension reform and health care reform. by way of background, blue shield did announce it was capping its profits at 2% of revenue and it allocated any excess revenues back to the policyholders. funding for health care providers and non-profit health organizations. the important questi
