In all these years leading \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfnetworkministries.org/\">San Francisco Network Ministries\u003c/a>, she said she's had hands laid on her in anger only twice.

I recorded our interview in the complex's meditation garden, sitting on a bench next to a small fountain, surrounded by sage plants that attract hummingbirds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was clear from the very start of our interview that the Rev.

But the company has long sought a smaller space for more experimental projects and plays by its conservatory students. So Perloff wants to carve the Strand into two small theaters, plus an all-day café and bar in the lobby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So there will be a huge gathering space,\" she said. \"And what we really felt is the most important thing is to have life on the street level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's still a gritty street with panhandlers, hustlers and drug users. But Mid-Market is also caught in a tug of war between arts companies looking for cheap rents and high-tech firms like Twitter and Zendesk who have moved to Market Street to cash in on a tax break from the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite that challenge, there’s another arts success story in the making, a few blocks from the Strand. Lorraine Hansberry Theatre lost its stage a few years ago, and now its artistic director, Steven Anthony Jones, looks to share in plans by a developer and a number of foundations to convert a pair of rundown properties at 950 Market Street into an arts and education center. The center, where Mid-Market meets the Tenderloin, would include four small theaters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones thinks the tech companies and arts producers can make good neighbors. \"Those people have to do something in the evening and on the weekends. This has to be more than just a place where people come to work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The literacy group Youth Speaks and others arts groups are looking to move in, seeking shelter from rising rents – afraid they'll be priced right out of San Francisco. A.C.T.'s Executive Director Ellen Richard says that's even true for her company, which wants to move its offices to 950 Market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We just lost 12,000 square feet because the rental prices went up 50 percent. The market in San Francisco has just kind of gone berserk the last couple of years.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elvin Padilla has helped make 950 Market and the Strand projects happen, as the former executive director, and now consultant, for the Tenderloin Economic Development Project. One goal is to avoid a polarized landscape of haves and have-nots: well-paid techies versus the immigrant families that populate the Tenderloin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The arts are a way for us to all have a place where we can meet,\" Padilla said. \"And where we can share human experiences like music and dance and literacy. And we think that is vital for a healthy neighborhood and a healthy city.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Padilla applauds efforts by Mayor Ed Lee and other city leaders to lobby for the arts in Mid-Market. But he notes A.C.T. is raising the $30 million it needs for the Strand on its own, and that even the 950 Market project could fail without city support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we want to see something different, a diversity of uses beyond a generic office mall that the free market will be most happy to supply, we have to intervene. All cities either provide land or provide funding, or in some instances both. There’s been no funding and there’s been no land.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new owners of 950 Market, for instance, are facing millions of dollars in city fees. A few officials are listening, though. Supervisor Jane Kim represents Mid-Market, and she’s working on a measure to create an arts special-use district that would reduce developer fees on space reserved for nonprofits arts. It's the kind of break that could help a Mid-Market arts company like Alonzo King's LINES Ballet, which rehearses in a building without heat or hot water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As LINES director Janette Gitler told me, it would be very sad if the city’s success in bringing companies to Mid-Market means arts groups like hers have to move out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"mceItemEmbedly\">\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly\">\u003ciframe width=\"640\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F111268972&show_artwork=true&maxwidth=900\">\u003c/iframe>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"embedly-powered\" style=\"float:right\">\u003ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://embed.ly?src=anywhere\" title=\"Powered by Embedly\">\u003cimg src=\"//static.embed.ly/images/logos/embedly-powered-small-light.png\" alt=\"Embedly Powered\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"media-attribution\">\u003cspan>via \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://soundcloud.com\" class=\"media-attribution-link\" target=\"_blank\">SoundCloud\u003c/a>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\n",

Last week, the Legislature sent Gov.

The ordinance does not distinguish between those picked up for lower-level offenses and those taken into custody for felonies and those with a history of violent crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbos.org/ftp/uploadedfiles/bdsupvrs/bosagendas/materials/bag091713_130764.pdf\">ordinance\u003c/a> has strong support at City Hall, including from District Attorney George Gascon. But Mayor Ed Lee and Police Chief Greg Suhr want it amended to give law enforcement some discretion to turn over immigrants with a violent history.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"It's really about overall human rights and public safety.\"\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The proposal's supporters say Secure Communities erodes community trust, makes it harder for victims to report crimes and breaks up families. Supervisor John Avalos, the measure's sponsor, says, “It's really about overall human rights and public safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->“We feel that public safety is based on cooperation and trust between communities and law enforcement,” Avalos said. “If there is a fear of deportation based on that you’re going to make a phone call and you could get caught up in the deportation system, that puts a chilling effect on public safety.”\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Arrest Leads to Deportation Threat\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the measure point to stories like that of Fatima Torres to underscore why San Francisco should stop holding immigrants at the request of federal immigration officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An undocumented immigrant, Torres moved to the United States from Mexico when she was 20. She is a single mother who has three children, ages 5, 6 and 9. The two youngest are U.S. citizens. Three months ago, Torres spent an evening out dancing and was arrested and charged after a man she rebuffed accused her of assaulting him with a glass bottle. On her fifth day in custody, she was transferred to federal immigration authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At that moment, I felt like my world was falling apart,” she said in Spanish. “I didn’t know what was going to happen to my kids. I didn’t know what was going to happen to me. I was scared. From one night out, all of this happened.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Torres was charged with a felony — assault with a deadly weapon — San Francisco sheriff's deputies held her for questioning by immigration officials. Charges against Torres were ultimately dropped. Immigration officials released her from custody but started deportation proceedings against her. Her next hearing is in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was traumatic. I am scared,” Torres said. “Every time I see a police officer I’m scared. I don’t have a desire to leave, to go out and have a drink, to do anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Protecting 'Worst of the Worst'? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police Chief Suhr agrees that individuals like Torres shouldn’t be turned over to federal immigration officials. But he opposes a policy that would prohibit local law enforcement officials from turning over undocumented immigrants with violent histories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I actually think it does a disservice to the law-abiding, undocumented immigrant community that we seem stuck on protecting the worst of the worst,” Suhr said. “As chief of police, I don’t care if you are a citizen or not a citizen. If you are a convicted violent felon, sex offender or weapons possessor I don’t want you in San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At today’s hearing, the board will consider the amendments sought by Suhr and Mayor Lee. But for now, the current measure has the support of enough supervisors to override any veto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly\">\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F110978516&show_artwork=true&maxwidth=900\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"640\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"embedly-powered\" style=\"float: right\">\u003ca title=\"Powered by Embedly\" href=\"http://embed.ly?src=anywhere\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cimg src=\"//static.embed.ly/images/logos/embedly-powered-small-light.png\" alt=\"Embedly Powered\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"media-attribution\">\u003cspan>via \u003c/span>\u003ca class=\"media-attribution-link\" href=\"http://soundcloud.com\" target=\"_blank\">SoundCloud\u003c/a>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\n",

Last week, the Legislature sent Gov. Jerry Brown has \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/09/10/california-legislature-passes-trust-act\" target=\"_blank\">a bill\u003c/a> that would implement a similar policy statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco measure bars police from holding suspects for ICE if they're otherwise eligible for release from custody, either through posting bail, having charges dropped, being acquitted, or serving their sentence. The ordinance does not distinguish between those picked up for lower-level offenses and those taken into custody for felonies and those with a history of violent crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbos.org/ftp/uploadedfiles/bdsupvrs/bosagendas/materials/bag091713_130764.pdf\">ordinance\u003c/a> has strong support at City Hall, including from District Attorney George Gascon. But Mayor Ed Lee and Police Chief Greg Suhr want it amended to give law enforcement some discretion to turn over immigrants with a violent history.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"It's really about overall human rights and public safety.\"\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The proposal's supporters say Secure Communities erodes community trust, makes it harder for victims to report crimes and breaks up families. Supervisor John Avalos, the measure's sponsor, says, “It's really about overall human rights and public safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->“We feel that public safety is based on cooperation and trust between communities and law enforcement,” Avalos said. “If there is a fear of deportation based on that you’re going to make a phone call and you could get caught up in the deportation system, that puts a chilling effect on public safety.”\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Arrest Leads to Deportation Threat\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the measure point to stories like that of Fatima Torres to underscore why San Francisco should stop holding immigrants at the request of federal immigration officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An undocumented immigrant, Torres moved to the United States from Mexico when she was 20. She is a single mother who has three children, ages 5, 6 and 9. The two youngest are U.S. citizens. Three months ago, Torres spent an evening out dancing and was arrested and charged after a man she rebuffed accused her of assaulting him with a glass bottle. On her fifth day in custody, she was transferred to federal immigration authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At that moment, I felt like my world was falling apart,” she said in Spanish. “I didn’t know what was going to happen to my kids. I didn’t know what was going to happen to me. I was scared. From one night out, all of this happened.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Torres was charged with a felony — assault with a deadly weapon — San Francisco sheriff's deputies held her for questioning by immigration officials. Charges against Torres were ultimately dropped. Immigration officials released her from custody but started deportation proceedings against her. Her next hearing is in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was traumatic. I am scared,” Torres said. “Every time I see a police officer I’m scared. I don’t have a desire to leave, to go out and have a drink, to do anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Protecting 'Worst of the Worst'? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police Chief Suhr agrees that individuals like Torres shouldn’t be turned over to federal immigration officials. But he opposes a policy that would prohibit local law enforcement officials from turning over undocumented immigrants with violent histories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I actually think it does a disservice to the law-abiding, undocumented immigrant community that we seem stuck on protecting the worst of the worst,” Suhr said. “As chief of police, I don’t care if you are a citizen or not a citizen. If you are a convicted violent felon, sex offender or weapons possessor I don’t want you in San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At today’s hearing, the board will consider the amendments sought by Suhr and Mayor Lee. But for now, the current measure has the support of enough supervisors to override any veto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly\">\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F110978516&show_artwork=true&maxwidth=900\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"640\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"embedly-powered\" style=\"float: right\">\u003ca title=\"Powered by Embedly\" href=\"http://embed.ly?src=anywhere\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cimg src=\"//static.embed.ly/images/logos/embedly-powered-small-light.png\" alt=\"Embedly Powered\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"media-attribution\">\u003cspan>via \u003c/span>\u003ca class=\"media-attribution-link\" href=\"http://soundcloud.com\" target=\"_blank\">SoundCloud\u003c/a>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

With the wind pushing up against the event's safety limit, Race 10 was delayed past its scheduled 2:15 p.m. PDT start time. Then race officials gave the go ahead for the start. The San Francisco Chronicle's Tom FitzGerald \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/americascup/2013/09/15/oracle-team-usa-has-turned-the-tables-on-the-upwind-leg-it-rolls-to-convincing-win-in-race-9/\" target=\"_blank\">described\u003c/a> what happened next as \"spine-tingling.\" Here's how the official America's Cup live blog summarized the action: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The Kiwis held the lead early in the race, but the defender made a huge charge on the upwind leg and rounded the windward gate with a 1 second advantage.

He's a reporter for Radio New Zealand who's enough of a sailing fan that he flew up to San Francisco on his own dime to take in the experience of the Cup finals. An added bonus for him and the thousands of other Kiwis who have traveled north for the event: the New Zealand team leads Cup defender Oracle Team USA six wins to two (6-0 in points because of the two-race penalty levied against Oracle). The tendency among rather casual fans like me has been to say you can pack up the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nyyc.org/about/history-heritage/962-auld-mug-s-first-appearance-in-newport-was-its-farewell\" target=\"_blank\">Auld Mug\u003c/a> and get it ready for its trip to Auckland. The arithmetic tells you that in the first-to-nine-wins format, New Zealand needs three more victories to take the Cup; even after winning in Race 8 on Saturday, Oracle still needs nine victories to prevail. In fact, the two crews have been so skillful that it's easy to forget the risks inherent in sailing their giant 72-foot catamarans. As Niall said on Friday, 24 hours before New Zealand saw its boat heel over in the middle of Race 8, things with these boats can go very wrong very suddenly: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>They're big spectacular boats. You watch them up on the foils and you hold your breath as they come back into the water. There's always the risk of a collision. You know, the old monohulls you might chip a bit out of the back of the boat if they touch, but if these things completely unintentionally collide, who knows what could happen? Team New Zealand doesn't really have a second boat ready to go; Oracle does. Team New Zealand would have to cobble together equipment to get a second boat on the water, so there's a lot that could go wrong.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here's the rest of my conversation with Niall. I started by asking him about one of the striking features of the America's Cup finals so far: the fact New Zealand seemed to be consistently better heading upwind than Oracle Team USA.
