Randy Shaws Tenderloin Housing Clinic, owners and operators of Beyondchron.org have been accused ignoring complaints about drug use and trying to cover it up. This isn't an isolated incident either. It is far more common than people realize.

This is the latest lawsuit filed against Tenderloin Housing Clinic. Download initial complaint (PDF)

"We were able to regain complete control of the network Tuesday," said Ron Vinson, the deputy director of the city's Department of Technology Information Services. From Wired, Jul 22, 2008

well?..Do they have control of it or not? Wasn't that the whole reason why Childs didn't want to give up the passwords because his higher ups didn't have a clue?

Terry Childs is being blamed for holding up Shotspotter, the gunshot detection system that uses the Fiberwan network. Of course, this was all running fine when Childs was running it, and of course he built the system. The system is actually still running perfectly. The reason why it's a problem now is because the passwords Childs is/has/given up withholding is in an area that requires changing the Fiberwan system. see here for more

I have a solution for this. The city can take him out of jail and put him to work in shackles and leg chains, since he's obviously dangerous with the 5 million dollar bail imposed. And parade him around city hall and the city network and city offices all over where he can make the necessary changes to implement the remaining Shotspotter system, which he helped put in there in the first place.

All day long city employees and probably the public can watch Terry say "pickin it up boss' "making password changes boss"..."Configuring the routers boss" ...."damn, you shot that turtle good boss"

Notorious Turk and Taylor, a month ago, a murder occurred.

Naysayers of the crime cameras are going to have a tough time with this one because the camera at Turk and Taylor cleared two people of this same murder, but at the same time caught them stealing the wallet. This probably could only happen with a camera because it would be really tough for witnesses to sort this type of situation out from memory

A San Francisco crime surveillance video was used as the basis for prosecutors to drop homicide charges Tuesday against two men held in the death last month of a man in San Francisco's Tenderloin.

I haven't seen the tape, and I hope they make it public

According to CW Nevius, Chris Daly made this girl cry, but Daly refutes

Actually, Daly didn't speak much immediately prior, during or after Amanda Wongs short speech, but he did speak plenty about 45 minutes before this speech, which is where Nevius is probably right



The Zoo hearing started off about 45 minutes earlier with Daly saying "I'm not going to go out of my way to give them a forum to oppose me" in the below clip



this goes on for a few more minutes until Daly starts getting impatient and patronizing



But it's this last clip, where Daly cuts off Animal Control director Carl Friedman that it gets pretty bad, and is what Nevius mentioned in the article. So that was correct.



finally, the full Zoo hearing from August, 7, 2008 which is 2 hours instead of the whole 8 hour board of supervisor session

The complete, up to date history of evictions of Tenderloin Housing Clinic, a San Francisco housing activist group that publishes BeyondChron.org. Both BeyondChron.org and Tenderloin Housing Clinic are enitrely funded by the City and County of San Francisco



Mayor Gavin Newsom's 'Care not Cash' program is a significant portion of Tenderloin Housing Clinic. This does not include filings in the last two months because of a state law requiring eviction filings under 60 days to be kept off the public record

you can view larger scans here and all filings can be verified here. The $200 filing fee for each case is also paid for with public money. It does not include the full time attorney, which is also paid for with public money

centered on 6th and Stevenson, San Francisco. Covers the last two weeks

Friends of the Urban Forest (www.fuf.net) sponsored this outing today in the Tenderloin. This is from the first block of Jones st, across from ST Anthony's dining hall. I was told this is maybe the 7th time, they've planted trees on this block, because they've been wrecked in the past.

Scenes from the production of Rent on 6th Street, San Francisco, March 31, 2005, taken from a friends place above the production

I keep hearing about how production crews abuse their authority, which is wrong. So this is dedicated to those who have been abused. I didn't like the movie, BTW. Production was fun tho

I rarely quote Matt Drudge but this is beyond ridiculous



[late insert ----dumbass - drudge]


Yes, Drudge, it's come to this, the lowly tire gauge. It is a simple device to measure air pressure in a tire. It is one of those basic inventions that make a huge difference on humanity, kind of like the concept of a basic electronic transistor. You know, like the transistor that enables you to operate Drudge.com

you probably wouldn't know how big of a difference a deflated tire can mean because you drive a car, which means you push your foot down on the gas accelerator to compensate for such a deflated tire, and therefore don't really know how it feels, or how much it burns

But for people who ride a bike, we can tell you with some very accurate results just how much extra energy it takes to get from point A to point B on a half inflated tire as opposed to a full inflated one

It most certainly is something that is measurable in a scientific study and has been done many times before

In fact, don't even ask me about it, ask the long haul truckers you reported about recently, Drudge. Remember them? Those that went on strike about the oil prices?..Ask them about tire pressure..They'll tell ya

You know, the same truckers that bring your food to your local supermarket every day?

yeah, those people

times sure have changed

A Committee of Vigilance was formed in 1851, and revived in 1856. These militias hanged 8 people, kidnapped hundreds of Irishmen and government militia members, and forced several elected officials to resign. Each Committee of Vigilance formally relinquished power after it decided the city had been "cleaned up,"

In Memoriam (Up From the Deep)

article in the Chron

Rest in peace, Jeoflin, I never got a chance to get you Blade Runner directors cut, you're favorite movie

Jeoflin was also a founding member of the possibly upcoming Community Justice Center, which was formerly the 'Community Courts' and was sent to New York by the mayor last year. He's mentioned in SF Metblogs earlier this year

this is an interview Jeoflin did last September on San Francisco Unscripted, with Art Bruzzone



6th Street fair dedication to Jeoflin with Antoinetta Stadlman from this past Sunday



update...Chris Daly memorialized Jeoflin at the Board of Supes, on Tuesday, Aug 5, 2008

There was a Chronicle story recently about Jerry Kulek who was evicted from a supportive housing unit under Chinatown Community Development Corp and ended up on the streets because he owed 700 dollars or two months rent

It was mentioned in Beyondchron but buried in the Letters to the Editor. Partial quote

I read with interest the story of 72-year old Jerry Kulek's eviction from supportive housing by his landlord, Chinatown Community Development Corp., for failure to pay two months' rent ("Old-timer short $700 on rent evicted, ends up in hospital," SF Chronicle, 7/10/08). This is one more example of supportive housing failing to provide support, resulting in another person living on the streets or in Golden Gate Park.

Both C.W. Nevius and BeyondChron missed something, because Tenderloin Housing Clinic an even larger supportive housing company, and who publishes Beyondchron, has evicted for missing TWO WEEKS rent
