Lee and Pinterest CEO Ben Silbermann announced today that Pinterest, one of the fastest growing social media firms, will move from Palo Alto to San Francisco. Pinterest is currently finalizing plans for a long-term home in the SoMa neighborhood and has signed a short-term lease for space in the area to accommodate immediate growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am thrilled to welcome Pinterest to the ‘Innovation Capital of the World,’ and am pleased that our efforts to attract and retain the industry’s best and most innovative companies are working,” said Mayor Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re pleased to now call one of the world’s great cities home,” said Pinterest CEO Ben Silbermann. “Thanks to Mayor Lee, his team and everyone who has helped make this move possible...”\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Mayor Lee also debuted his new \u003ca href=\"http://pinterest.com/mayoredlee\">Pinterest page\u003c/a>. Call me cynical, but I'm guessing he didn't post those all himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pinterest has \"around 50\" employees, company spokesperson Barry Schnitt said in an e-mail. (And that's all he'd say. The company isn't sharing additional details at this time.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frankly, I have never used Pinterest and even more frankly, I only have the vaguest notion of what it is. So I asked our Social Media Dude, Ian Hill, to illuminate, because he knows a lot about companies I've never heard of doing things I don't understand in ways I don't necessarily approve of, but wudduya gonna do? \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: So what is Pinterest?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IAN HILL\u003c/strong>: PinterEst is essentially a social photo sharing application. It takes photo sharing to a new level by linking photos to web sites. What it's really developed into is an online catalogue. You can follow other users on Pinterest. They \"pin\" photos that reflect their interests. There's a lot of food and wedding stuff and products. And you can click through to the web site where that photo originally appeared and just see whatever the content is around that photo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: How popular is this? It seemed to become big rather quickly. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IAN HILL\u003c/strong>: It went from probably something late last year that most people had never heard of to, in March, when it had 2.2 million daily users, 12 million monthly users.

It takes photo sharing to a new level by linking photos to web sites. What it's really developed into is an online catalogue. You can follow other users on Pinterest. They \"pin\" photos that reflect their interests. There's a lot of food and wedding stuff and products. And you can click through to the web site where that photo originally appeared and just see whatever the content is around that photo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: How popular is this? It seemed to become big rather quickly. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IAN HILL\u003c/strong>: It went from probably something late last year that most people had never heard of to, in March, when it had 2.2 million daily users, 12 million monthly users. They're not Facebook numbers, but that's pretty impressive for something that had only been around for a few months. I think people were really hooked on the presentation, the ability go to just one web site and see a bunch of professional photos that your friends like. That drew a lot of women, in particular.

In June, school trustees \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/local/education/2012/06/grim-ccsf-budget-prepares-worst\">approved\u003c/a> a $187 million 2012-13 budget to serve the school's more than 90,000 students. About $97 million of that amount comes from the state and would be withdrawn if the school lost accreditation. If the governor's tax measure fails in November, the school could be out another $10 million. Trustees also voted to place a $79 per parcel tax on the city's November ballot, but even if approved, those funds would not be available this year. City College will not pass a final budget until September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, the school must prove to the commission by Oct. 15 that it should retain its accreditation. Then commission representatives will visit the school to monitor progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Since the loss of accreditation would likely cause San Francisco City College to close, during the 'show cause' period the College must make preparations for closure,\" said Barbara Beno, the commission president in a letter to City College of San Francisco Interim Chancellor Pamela Fisher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the college has seen reduced funding in recent years, Beno said all schools in the state have faced similar problems, yet only two of the state's 112 community colleges are in similar situations: College of the Redwoods in Eureka and Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo. Compton College closed in 2005 after it lost accreditation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/07/05/why-the-city-college-of-san-francisco-might-close/#letter\">written response to the commission\u003c/a>, Fisher said the school is \"fully aware of the seriousness of the situation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The report shows that clear, difficult choices must be made, immediately, and at anumber of levels. The ultimate responsibility rests with the Trustees, administration,faculty and staff to reinvent City College so that it can continue to achieve its important mission, but in a more cost-effective and efficient way,\" she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the commission's main concerns is City College's lack of a permanent funding base.

About $97 million of that amount comes from the state and would be withdrawn if the school lost accreditation. If the governor's tax measure fails in November, the school could be out another $10 million.

(Jason Henry/The Bay Citizen)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Bay Citizen revealed last month that Muni vehicles arrived on schedule 61.4 percent of the time during the last three months of 2011, instead of the 71 percent reported by the transit agency. From July to September 2011, the transit agency’s on-time performance was 59 percent, not the 72 percent it claimed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, Muni officials blamed an imprecise algorithm for the errant calculation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a newly obtained 2010 memo sent to then-CEO Nat Ford and others, Muni Chief Information Officer Travis Fox detailed exactly how the agency made its calculations.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He wrote that in the late 1990s, on-time performance was measured by observing whether a bus reached the bus stop at the scheduled time. He characterized that method as the “most appropriate way to measure the consistency of service delivered.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the transit agency dropped that method after voters passed Proposition E, which set goals and etched into the city’s charter the definition of “on time” as no more than one minute early or four minutes late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the memo, Fox outlined four accounting maneuvers that led to “a reported on-time performance figure that is 13-18 percent higher than actual schedule adherence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any bus arriving up to 4 minutes and 59 seconds late was counted as on time. The liberal definition of 60 seconds was reported by The Bay Citizen last month. In his 2010 memo, Fox blamed a software program that “clips” the seconds off of time entries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Phantom buses that don't make their scheduled runs at all were not factored into on-time performance. Yet Fox pointed out that the “resulting service gaps affect on-time performance due to longer boarding times associated with crush loads.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muni would count a bus as on time if it came to a stop at the time when another bus was scheduled to arrive, even if it was a different late or early bus on the same bus line. Fox wrote that accounting maneuver was used to “maximize the number of observations falling within the -1/+4 minute on-time performance window.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Late inbound Muni trains heading to the Embarcadero Station were excluded from the calculation because “service in the tunnel cannot be controlled.” Tunnel traffic, automatically controlled by Muni computers, is a chronic source of train delays. The N-Judah, for instance, was on time 52 percent of the time during the last six months of 2011, according to a Bay Citizen analysis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford, the former Muni CEO, acknowledged in an interview that the memo should have “set off alarm bells.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That would have been a major issue that would have had to be brought to the board,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Ford, who resigned last year, said he didn’t recall ever reading the memo, which was also sent to four other SFMTA higher-ups, including John Haley, director of Transit Operations, and Julie Kirschbaum, manager of Operations Planning. The transit agency was in the midst of dealing with cuts to bus service, Ford said, and the memo “may have got lost in the shuffle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, two weeks after Fox sent the memo, Ford and then-Mayor Gavin Newsom together announced that the troubled transit agency had achieved a record 75 percent on-time performance rate in the first three months of 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Improving Muni’s on-time performance is fundamental to the SFMTA’s mission,” Ford said in the news release on the achievement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Disappointment, but no surprise\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proof that Muni’s on-time arrival rate is lower than it reported for years did not surprise passengers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been here for seven years, and they’re always late,” said Rex Tan, who takes a train and a bus to his job selling sunglasses at Fisherman’s Wharf. “Just last week I was late to work twice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ben Kaufman, a spokesman for the San Francisco Transit Riders Union, said that it was “disappointing and frustrating that the MTA would deceive the public like that for better performance data.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re not going to get better on-time performance unless they make serious changes to the system,” Kaufman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initial reaction at the transit agency to inflated on-time reports was muted. At a board meeting last month, the agency’s directors said they were not concerned when the issue first was raised by The Bay Citizen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a lot of faith in the management team here in terms of the integrity of the information,” Jerry Lee, chairman of the agency’s Policy and Governance Committee, said at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board made no effort to inquire further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Fox said in an interview last week that, starting in July, Muni would be reporting on-time performance without any of the maneuvers he had identified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There will be no quirk implementation,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Origins of the deception\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is unclear who set Muni down the path of overstating on-time performance. In his memo, Fox wrote that the methodology was “modified” by Michael Burns, the Muni chief from 1999 to 2005. And in an interview Fox said the method first was used in 2001.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burns, however, said that he “was not involved in developing the formula at all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was not aware of the details, and I did not direct any of the calculations,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burns said he wouldn’t have stood for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would've had them go back and use the four minutes,” he said. “ I never, nor do I now, think there’s any flexibility on what is written in charter.”\u003cbr>\nThree SFMTA employees who worked on the performance statistics at the time either refused to comment or didn’t return emails and phone calls seeking comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is clear is that after voters set the 85 percent target, Muni struggled to reach it. In fiscal year 2001, the transit agency’s on-time arrival rate was 55.4 percent. The next year, the rate jumped to 69.9 percent. From then on, the rate leveled off before peaking in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonuses for Muni employees, including Burns, were tied to the performance standards back then. A total of 1,500 employees received incentive payments in 2001, according to meeting minutes. Burns' contract allowed him to receive up to $15,000 in bonuses tied to performance, including on-time performance, although it is not clear whether he received them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The man behind the numbers\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fox, 40, arrived at the transit agency in 2007 with a background in performance measurement. He quickly pieced together how the transit agency calculated on-time arrivals. The issue came to the fore as the agency considered switching from a manual tally to electronic data supplied by transmitters on the buses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a November 2010 email to Ford, Fox wrote, “As discussed previously, this is not a matter of simply flicking the switch – we need to ensure the NextMuni data is as 'apples to apples' as possible when compared to the historical methodology.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his memo from earlier that year, Fox had weighed the pros and cons of switching to the unadulterated electronic data. The new system, he wrote, “would likely result in a hard-to-explain 10-15 percent drop in reporting on-time performance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, it wasn’t until current Muni Chief Ed Reiskin arrived last year that the agency decided to ditch the old method, Fox said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soon, Fox said, the public and Muni managers will have access to plentiful data measuring real-time performance of the transit agency’s buses, trains and cable cars. One statistic the agency will highlight is the time between arrivals. Muni officials believe that it's more important that a bus comes every 10 minutes than whether it arrives exactly at 10:02 a.m. as scheduled, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There's the importance of transparency, but it’s also important that the management have the information they need to improve service,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked how he felt about Muni inflating numbers for all those years, Fox hesitated. Then he answered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I'm really happy where we are today,” he said. “I think that probably being spelled out helped the organization along in a significant way, and now we’re on the path to having much clearer reporting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tan, the Muni rider who was waiting for his bus, said he hoped that Muni buses would arrive on schedule more often. When he leaves work at 10 p.m., it often takes hours to travel from Fisherman's Wharf across town to his home on Ocean Avenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes I get home at midnight,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shane Shifflett contributed to this report.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a newly obtained 2010 memo sent to then-CEO Nat Ford and others, Muni Chief Information Officer Travis Fox detailed exactly how the agency made its calculations.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He wrote that in the late 1990s, on-time performance was measured by observing whether a bus reached the bus stop at the scheduled time. He characterized that method as the “most appropriate way to measure the consistency of service delivered.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the transit agency dropped that method after voters passed Proposition E, which set goals and etched into the city’s charter the definition of “on time” as no more than one minute early or four minutes late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the memo, Fox outlined four accounting maneuvers that led to “a reported on-time performance figure that is 13-18 percent higher than actual schedule adherence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any bus arriving up to 4 minutes and 59 seconds late was counted as on time. The liberal definition of 60 seconds was reported by The Bay Citizen last month. In his 2010 memo, Fox blamed a software program that “clips” the seconds off of time entries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Phantom buses that don't make their scheduled runs at all were not factored into on-time performance. Yet Fox pointed out that the “resulting service gaps affect on-time performance due to longer boarding times associated with crush loads.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muni would count a bus as on time if it came to a stop at the time when another bus was scheduled to arrive, even if it was a different late or early bus on the same bus line. Fox wrote that accounting maneuver was used to “maximize the number of observations falling within the -1/+4 minute on-time performance window.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Late inbound Muni trains heading to the Embarcadero Station were excluded from the calculation because “service in the tunnel cannot be controlled.” Tunnel traffic, automatically controlled by Muni computers, is a chronic source of train delays. The N-Judah, for instance, was on time 52 percent of the time during the last six months of 2011, according to a Bay Citizen analysis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford, the former Muni CEO, acknowledged in an interview that the memo should have “set off alarm bells.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That would have been a major issue that would have had to be brought to the board,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Ford, who resigned last year, said he didn’t recall ever reading the memo, which was also sent to four other SFMTA higher-ups, including John Haley, director of Transit Operations, and Julie Kirschbaum, manager of Operations Planning. The transit agency was in the midst of dealing with cuts to bus service, Ford said, and the memo “may have got lost in the shuffle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, two weeks after Fox sent the memo, Ford and then-Mayor Gavin Newsom together announced that the troubled transit agency had achieved a record 75 percent on-time performance rate in the first three months of 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Improving Muni’s on-time performance is fundamental to the SFMTA’s mission,” Ford said in the news release on the achievement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Disappointment, but no surprise\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proof that Muni’s on-time arrival rate is lower than it reported for years did not surprise passengers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been here for seven years, and they’re always late,” said Rex Tan, who takes a train and a bus to his job selling sunglasses at Fisherman’s Wharf. “Just last week I was late to work twice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ben Kaufman, a spokesman for the San Francisco Transit Riders Union, said that it was “disappointing and frustrating that the MTA would deceive the public like that for better performance data.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re not going to get better on-time performance unless they make serious changes to the system,” Kaufman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initial reaction at the transit agency to inflated on-time reports was muted. At a board meeting last month, the agency’s directors said they were not concerned when the issue first was raised by The Bay Citizen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a lot of faith in the management team here in terms of the integrity of the information,” Jerry Lee, chairman of the agency’s Policy and Governance Committee, said at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board made no effort to inquire further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Fox said in an interview last week that, starting in July, Muni would be reporting on-time performance without any of the maneuvers he had identified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There will be no quirk implementation,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Origins of the deception\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is unclear who set Muni down the path of overstating on-time performance. In his memo, Fox wrote that the methodology was “modified” by Michael Burns, the Muni chief from 1999 to 2005. And in an interview Fox said the method first was used in 2001.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burns, however, said that he “was not involved in developing the formula at all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was not aware of the details, and I did not direct any of the calculations,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burns said he wouldn’t have stood for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would've had them go back and use the four minutes,” he said. “ I never, nor do I now, think there’s any flexibility on what is written in charter.”\u003cbr>\nThree SFMTA employees who worked on the performance statistics at the time either refused to comment or didn’t return emails and phone calls seeking comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is clear is that after voters set the 85 percent target, Muni struggled to reach it. In fiscal year 2001, the transit agency’s on-time arrival rate was 55.4 percent. The next year, the rate jumped to 69.9 percent. From then on, the rate leveled off before peaking in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonuses for Muni employees, including Burns, were tied to the performance standards back then. A total of 1,500 employees received incentive payments in 2001, according to meeting minutes. Burns' contract allowed him to receive up to $15,000 in bonuses tied to performance, including on-time performance, although it is not clear whether he received them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The man behind the numbers\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fox, 40, arrived at the transit agency in 2007 with a background in performance measurement. He quickly pieced together how the transit agency calculated on-time arrivals. The issue came to the fore as the agency considered switching from a manual tally to electronic data supplied by transmitters on the buses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a November 2010 email to Ford, Fox wrote, “As discussed previously, this is not a matter of simply flicking the switch – we need to ensure the NextMuni data is as 'apples to apples' as possible when compared to the historical methodology.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his memo from earlier that year, Fox had weighed the pros and cons of switching to the unadulterated electronic data. The new system, he wrote, “would likely result in a hard-to-explain 10-15 percent drop in reporting on-time performance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, it wasn’t until current Muni Chief Ed Reiskin arrived last year that the agency decided to ditch the old method, Fox said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soon, Fox said, the public and Muni managers will have access to plentiful data measuring real-time performance of the transit agency’s buses, trains and cable cars. One statistic the agency will highlight is the time between arrivals. Muni officials believe that it's more important that a bus comes every 10 minutes than whether it arrives exactly at 10:02 a.m. as scheduled, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There's the importance of transparency, but it’s also important that the management have the information they need to improve service,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked how he felt about Muni inflating numbers for all those years, Fox hesitated. Then he answered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I'm really happy where we are today,” he said. “I think that probably being spelled out helped the organization along in a significant way, and now we’re on the path to having much clearer reporting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tan, the Muni rider who was waiting for his bus, said he hoped that Muni buses would arrive on schedule more often. When he leaves work at 10 p.m., it often takes hours to travel from Fisherman's Wharf across town to his home on Ocean Avenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes I get home at midnight,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

From the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Ross-Mirkarimi-asks-for-redemption-at-ethics-panel-3672111.php\">Chronicle's report on that session\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Suspended San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi testified Thursday that he committed a violent act against his wife, and that such conduct falls below official standards of his staff and reflects adversely on the department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he also told the city's Ethics Commission that he believes in the power of redemption, as he fights to save his job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that the sheriff is the leader of the department and should lead by example, and if that also means that the sheriff can demonstrate redeeming behavior, then the sheriff, I think, or some of their employees, may have that possibility, too,\" Mirkarimi testified under oath at his official misconduct hearing. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Ross-Mirkarimi-asks-for-redemption-at-ethics-panel-3672111.php\">Full article\u003c/a> \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here's \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/politics-government/ci_20971200/politics-government/ci_20969028\">Josh Richman's take\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Embattled Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi began his calm, controlled, somewhat contrite testimony Thursday night before the city's Ethics Commission, which will recommend whether or not he should be kicked out of office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I grabbed my wife's arm and bruised it, that is an act of violence, something I regret terribly,\" Mirkarimi said. \"It wasn't my intention, but I did it and I accept full responsibility. ... I reacted intensely to a quarrel and I regret the way that I reacted.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The mayor's misconduct filing stems from, as you no doubt have heard by now, Mirkarimi's guilty plea to a misdemeanor false imprisonment charge in connection with a heated fight he had with his wife, Eliana Lopez, on New Year's Eve, not long after he had won election as sheriff. Mirkarimi bruised her arm during the conflict, an injury both he and Lopez say occurred in their car.

From a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Ross-Mirkarimi-case-Key-witness-disputes-account-3639787.php\">Chronicle report\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Eliana told me that the verbal abuse continued in the house and escalated to physical abuse, and that both went on for some time. ... During that time, she said that Ross repeatedly grabbed, pulled and pushed her violently,\" Madison stated. \"Specifically, she said he slammed her against a wall while grabbing her arm and refused to let go.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the plea deal, Mirkarimi had been charged with one misdemeanor count each of domestic violence battery, child endangerment and dissuading a witness.\u003c/p>\n\n",

From the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Ross-Mirkarimi-asks-for-redemption-at-ethics-panel-3672111.php\">Chronicle's report on that session\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Suspended San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi testified Thursday that he committed a violent act against his wife, and that such conduct falls below official standards of his staff and reflects adversely on the department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he also told the city's Ethics Commission that he believes in the power of redemption, as he fights to save his job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that the sheriff is the leader of the department and should lead by example, and if that also means that the sheriff can demonstrate redeeming behavior, then the sheriff, I think, or some of their employees, may have that possibility, too,\" Mirkarimi testified under oath at his official misconduct hearing. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Ross-Mirkarimi-asks-for-redemption-at-ethics-panel-3672111.php\">Full article\u003c/a> \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here's \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/politics-government/ci_20971200/politics-government/ci_20969028\">Josh Richman's take\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Embattled Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi began his calm, controlled, somewhat contrite testimony Thursday night before the city's Ethics Commission, which will recommend whether or not he should be kicked out of office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I grabbed my wife's arm and bruised it, that is an act of violence, something I regret terribly,\" Mirkarimi said. \"It wasn't my intention, but I did it and I accept full responsibility. ... I reacted intensely to a quarrel and I regret the way that I reacted.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The mayor's misconduct filing stems from, as you no doubt have heard by now, Mirkarimi's guilty plea to a misdemeanor false imprisonment charge in connection with a heated fight he had with his wife, Eliana Lopez, on New Year's Eve, not long after he had won election as sheriff. Mirkarimi bruised her arm during the conflict, an injury both he and Lopez say occurred in their car. Mirkarimi \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/04/18/ross-mirkarimi-in-hour-long-interview-live-at-9-a-m/\">described the incident on KQED Public Radio's Forum\u003c/a> program on April 18:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>So as she was getting out of her passenger seat to unharness our son, who is nearly three, he was panicked, you could see the panic, and she was screaming and I reached over from the driver's seat - still with my seatbelt on, to put my hand underneath her arm to try to guide her back into the passenger seat so we could just de-escalate this and talk this through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was when I put my hand underneath her arm that she got bruised, in that process.

From a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Ross-Mirkarimi-case-Key-witness-disputes-account-3639787.php\">Chronicle report\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Eliana told me that the verbal abuse continued in the house and escalated to physical abuse, and that both went on for some time. ...

In exchange the company will be able to develop 23 acres of state park land and other state land. Lennar will pay an additional $10 million for the continued operations and maintenance of the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Lennar will pay out the money for the state park gradually, over the next 20 years as the project progresses, according to Bohee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, the developer does not want to see the park close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kofi Bonner, president of Lennar Urban, said in an interview that he is in talks with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.calparks.org/\">California State Parks Foundation\u003c/a> about creating a plan to keep the park open, but no agreement has been made yet. “We are quite concerned that it will be closed,” he said. “I am very interested in keeping the park open.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Malia Cohen, the San Francisco supervisor whose district includes Candlestick Point, is also exploring enlisting the city's Recreation and Parks Department to keep it from being shuttered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv id=\"rpuCopySelection\">\n\u003cp>Even as its future is uncertain, the park is undergoing a major restoration effort, transforming 34 acres of parkland and wetlands in the area. The project, known as the Yosemite Slough Restoration, is designed to improve wildlife habitat and water quality in the area. Funding for the multimillion-dollar restoration comes from a variety of public and private sources.The nonprofit \u003ca href=\"http://www.lejyouth.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Literacy for Environmental Justice\u003c/a> will continue to grow plants for the restoration in the native plant nursery at the park, behind the rangers’ station.

It's great. You really get a feeling of being away from the city.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Candlestick Point generates more than half a million dollars annually for the state parks system. The money comes from parking fees paid by fans attending events at the stadium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the park closes, the fees will continue to go to the state park's general fund, according Guaracha. But that parking revenue will dry up in 2014, when the San Francisco 49ers are scheduled to move to a new stadium in Santa Clara.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A massive development project planned near the park will provide tens of millions of dollars for the park, but not until 2014 at the earliest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is funding for this park in the future,” said Tiffany Bohee, executive director of the successor agency to \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfredevelopment.org/\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco’s Redevelopment Agency\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under a \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/cityinsider/2009/07/27/lennar-candlestick-plan-still-raises-hackles/\" target=\"_blank\">controversial land deal struck in 2009\u003c/a>, the state required Lennar, the company developing \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfredevelopment.org/index.aspx?page=57\">Hunters Point Shipyard and Candlestick Point\u003c/a>, to invest $40 million to upgrade the park. In exchange the company will be able to develop 23 acres of state park land and other state land. Lennar will pay an additional $10 million for the continued operations and maintenance of the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Lennar will pay out the money for the state park gradually, over the next 20 years as the project progresses, according to Bohee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, the developer does not want to see the park close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kofi Bonner, president of Lennar Urban, said in an interview that he is in talks with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.calparks.org/\">California State Parks Foundation\u003c/a> about creating a plan to keep the park open, but no agreement has been made yet. “We are quite concerned that it will be closed,” he said. “I am very interested in keeping the park open.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Malia Cohen, the San Francisco supervisor whose district includes Candlestick Point, is also exploring enlisting the city's Recreation and Parks Department to keep it from being shuttered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv id=\"rpuCopySelection\">\n\u003cp>Even as its future is uncertain, the park is undergoing a major restoration effort, transforming 34 acres of parkland and wetlands in the area. The project, known as the Yosemite Slough Restoration, is designed to improve wildlife habitat and water quality in the area. Funding for the multimillion-dollar restoration comes from a variety of public and private sources.The nonprofit \u003ca href=\"http://www.lejyouth.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Literacy for Environmental Justice\u003c/a> will continue to grow plants for the restoration in the native plant nursery at the park, behind the rangers’ station. But that nursery has been vandalized repeatedly in recent months, with one incident causing \u003ca href=\"http://www.calparks.org/press/2012/pg-e-partners-with-california-state-parks-foundation-and-the-literacy-for-environmental-justice-to-cleanup-the-destruction-from-vandals-at-candlestick-point-state-recreation-area.html\" target=\"_blank\">$18,000 in damage\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of our fears is that if the park is really to close, we are very vulnerable,” said Patrick Rump, acting executive director of Literacy for Environmental Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rump expects that if the parking lots are closed, the bathrooms are shut and the trash is no longer picked up, the park will no longer be accessible to many people who now use it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The state park is shining example of positivity in this neighborhood,” he said. “If you close it, the story is going to be: ‘Don’t go to Candlestick. It’s unsafe.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by The Bay Citizen, a project of the Center for Investigative Reporting.
