While he took responsibility for his behavior he also questioned the motives of his political opponents, including Mayor Ed Lee and District Attorney George Gascón, accusing them of \"fanning the flames\" for their own political ends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He called the experience \"shattering\" and teared up while discussing his young son Theo, who is in Venezuela with his mother, Eliana Lopez. Mirkarimi says he reads bed time stories to Theo at night via Skype.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In light of Mayor Ed Lee's refusal to answer his letter asking to \"move forward\" I asked Mirkarimi how he was going improve that relationship. \"I'll continue to send him love letters,\" Mirkarimi said. \"I'm going to go at it in a way to build alliances. I do find it awkward that we communicate to each other through the \u003cem>Chronicle\u003c/em> or the press. Or that the DA releases letters first to the press and then I receive them in the mail afterwards.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I also asked him about the anti-domestic violence groups who vehemently opposed him from the start and continue to call for his ouster. \"Going after me was one thing, dismissing my wife was something else,\" he said. \"She was very resistant to that as well, and it was because there was a level of respect that was missing, which might seem foreign in something like this, but it just seemed antagonistic. That level of intensity seems to compound itself.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were no protests and while some of the written questions were pointed or even hostile, there were equal numbers of supportive comments and neutral questions about policy. The audience was respectful and listened to the sheriff without interruption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mirkarimi said he plans to continue the work of his predecessor, Michael Hennessey, by implementing progressive policies aimed at reducing recidivism among former inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>More: \u003c/strong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.commonwealthclub.org/events/archive/podcast/sheriff-ross-mirkarimi-next-steps-112012\" target=\"_blank\">Listen to the complete discussion between Scott Shafer and Ross Mirkarimi\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The Quakes had beaten the Galaxy on Saturday, 1-0; last night they lost 3-1, and while in other sports that would mean the teams were tied, \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-legged_match\" target=\"_blank\">it's different in soccer\u003c/a>, if you can believe that, sports fans: the Galaxy won on the strength of their 3-2 total goal advantage over the course of two games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a May 24 match, the Quakes made an astonishing comeback against the Galaxy by scoring three goals in the last 15 minutes. In a postgame interview, Quakes' forward Steven Lenhart first used the phrase that would come to characterize the rest of the year: \u003ca href=\"http://www.sjearthquakes.com/news/2012/05/lenhart-goonies-never-say-die\" target=\"_blank\">Goonies Never Say Die!\u003c/a> That was invoked many, many times in this year season of unlikely heroism and stoppage-time goals (the soccer equivalent of a walkoff home run).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While a number of unkind twitterers after last night's game suggested that the Goonies were now \"Gone-ies\", or in keeping with the film's script, \u003ca href=\"http://www.boomtron.com/2010/11/goonies-troys-bucket-and-why-i-ain%E2%80%99t-riding-up-it/\" target=\"_blank\">had gone for a ride in Troy's bucket\u003c/a>, Quakes' fans at the game seemed to disagree.

Because the Quakes had the best record in the regular season, they won the MLS \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supporters%27_Shield\" target=\"_blank\">Supporters' Shield\u003c/a>, thus drawing an automatic invitation to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.quakerattleandgoal.com/2012/10/7/3467652/san-jose-earthquakes-clinch-berth-in-2013-2014-concacaf-champions-league\" target=\"_blank\">CONCACAF Champions League\u003c/a> for 2013-2014. That unwieldly acronym stands for the Confederation of North, Central American, and Caribbean Association Football. The schedule and venues are yet to be determined, but some fans are already hoping San Jose might host a big international match in their \u003ca href=\"http://www.sjearthquakes.com/newstadium\" target=\"_blank\">new stadium\u003c/a> when it opens in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Baseball\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giants' GM Brian Sabean said on Wednesday the team \u003ca href=\"http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/8605310/brian-sabean-says-hunter-pence-san-francisco-giants-next-season\" target=\"_blank\">plans to tender a contract to outfielder Hunter Pence\u003c/a>, who drove in 45 runs in 59 games in the regular season but stalled in the playoffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for re-signing ertswhile and injured closer Brian Wilson, Sabean said the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This was his second [Tommy John], and if anyone could defy the odds, it would be him. But he's a long way from being at full strength, which means he's a long way from being cleared medically. It's wait and see. Until I get more medical information, we're not going near the subject.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also on Wednesday, the \u003ca href=\"http://bbwaa.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Baseball Writers Association of America\u003c/a> announced the finalists for the awards it hands out, and the A's and Giants are equally represented.

The winners will be announced next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking of awards, Oakland's general manager Billy Beane was named \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/athletics/2012/11/08/billy-beane--mlb-executive-of-the-year/1692193/\" target=\"_blank\">MLB Executive of the Year\u003c/a> last night by his GM counterparts at other clubs.

The Quakes had beaten the Galaxy on Saturday, 1-0; last night they lost 3-1, and while in other sports that would mean the teams were tied, \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-legged_match\" target=\"_blank\">it's different in soccer\u003c/a>, if you can believe that, sports fans: the Galaxy won on the strength of their 3-2 total goal advantage over the course of two games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a May 24 match, the Quakes made an astonishing comeback against the Galaxy by scoring three goals in the last 15 minutes. In a postgame interview, Quakes' forward Steven Lenhart first used the phrase that would come to characterize the rest of the year: \u003ca href=\"http://www.sjearthquakes.com/news/2012/05/lenhart-goonies-never-say-die\" target=\"_blank\">Goonies Never Say Die!\u003c/a> That was invoked many, many times in this year season of unlikely heroism and stoppage-time goals (the soccer equivalent of a walkoff home run).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While a number of unkind twitterers after last night's game suggested that the Goonies were now \"Gone-ies\", or in keeping with the film's script, \u003ca href=\"http://www.boomtron.com/2010/11/goonies-troys-bucket-and-why-i-ain%E2%80%99t-riding-up-it/\" target=\"_blank\">had gone for a ride in Troy's bucket\u003c/a>, Quakes' fans at the game seemed to disagree.
