    3 Feb 2012 | 4:42 pm
    The emerging battle over whether San Francisco should allow private parties at Coit Tower is really part of a much larger political debate: How do we fund public parks? Is public space something that resources are put into, something that's paid for by tax money and preserved and made available for everyone -- or should part of the role of parks be to generate cash? The Republicans in Congress, with the help of San Francisco's own Rep. Nancy Pelosi, came down clearly on the side of self-funding around the Presidio, and it's been a disaster. I have friends who work at Rec-Park, and they tell…

To that end, the county is considering a program that advocates claim could actually end up saving taxpayer dollars – it involves the distribution of housing vouchers to 100 people. People who have been sleeping on the streets for more than a year in Santa Clara County would be the recipients of the vouchers, for up to $13,000 towards housing costs. The most recent homeless count for the region indicated there are more than 7,000 homeless in Silicon Valley and just over 2,500…

A muddy vacant lot was about all that remained in most sections of the square as protesters mingled on the sidewalks with gawkers and news reporters. Occupiers spent part of the day scouting for emergency shelter to accommodate those evicted from the public park.

Not only is this unconstitutional, there was no public discussion of whether or not it was justified. Like the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland, it is the sudden “Off with their heads!” The Founding Fathers could not imagine such disregard for their craft of openness and free argument.

    David Ka Wai Pan
    4 Feb 2012 | 1:04 am
    The title says it all. Would you continue walking away from this hate scene, as if you saw nothing—as if nothing happened. Or would you call the licensed authorities—the cops and the ambulance—to request assistance. Or would you interrupt a crime scene full of hate and risk being a victim of hate crime. I would not walk away because of my moral compass. If I am witnessing a hate crime, I am partially responsible for its outcome, because my decisions indirectly affect the victim. My decision could spell life or death for this victim. Let us apply these questions to a case study…

The United States military dropped an involuntary manslaughter charge—the most serious charge that would have meant 10 years in prison–against Spc. Ryan Offutt, a soldier charged in the death of Pvt. Danny Chen. He still faces negligent homicide, assault and reckless endangerment. Why was this update an appalling one? The reason is simple: Spc. Ryan Offutt was acquitted of manslaughter during this ongoing…

  • Genomic Health's Randy Scott to lead human genome subsidiary

  • UCSF study: Boosting cigarette tax could bolster California economy by $2 billion

    6 Feb 2012 | 4:51 pm
    A June 5 ballot initiative designed to boost the tax on cigarettes by $1 a pack could create 12,000 new permanent jobs right away and add nearly $2 billion in economic activity in the Golden State annually, according to a new study by UC San Francisco. The positive impacts would come, UCSF says, because “Californians would smoke less and spend their money in other ways.” Roughly 4 dollars in every 5 spent on cigarettes goes to out-of-state manufacturers and farmers, since no tobacco is grown here and no cigarettes are made here...

    Andrew Baggarly recently had a blog post where he covered a wide range of issues. One of things covered in Baggs’ post was the condition of Giants’ closer, Brian Wilson. Baggarly reports that Wilson is down 15 pounds in an effort to stay healthier in 2012. Here’s the pertinent parts: Wilson said his injuries last season were a direct result of pushing hard down the playoff stretch in 2010, then refusing to dial back his usually rigorous offseason workouts. He’s doing a lot more baseball movement work, cardio and flexibility and less lifting for bulk. Wilson will be held…

  • Is a 200 hit season the hallmark of a good hitter?

    Chris Quick
    2 Feb 2012 | 7:55 pm
    Short answer: Yes. Almost always. I’m not breaking any ground when I make the statement that “players that have 200 (or more) hits in a season are (generally) good hitters”.  It really seems like one of those statements that doesn’t need to be made, or proclaimed from the mountain tops. However, there is a reasoning for my madness. Recently, on the Giants’ motherpage, Mike Krukow, in a video with Jay Berman, talked a little bit about the Giants and what they’ve done to improve their offense this offseason. On the topic of Melky Cabrera, Mike says: Cabrera…

  • Did the Giants overreact to the reliever market?

    Chris Quick
    28 Jan 2012 | 6:00 am
    It’s been a common, if not overused, refrain this offseason: the Giants overpaid for relief pitching. Early on, before the market really started to develop, the Giants picked up Jeremy Affeldt’s $5M option for 2012 without hesitation, and then turned around and signed a LOOGY, Javier Lopez, to a two-year, $8.5M deal. Both deals were, at the time, somewhat panned — or at least questioned. Should the Giants be spending upwards of $9M per season between two relievers? Is it ever a good idea to pay $4M for a LOOGY? Should the team have saved its money and went in another…

  • Giants Banking on 2010 Recipe for 2012

    31 Jan 2012 | 2:59 pm
    When I look up and down at the Giants roster as is right now, it really reminds me a lot of the roster they had entering the 2010 season, but instead of Buster Posey pushing for Bengie Molina's job, this year it will be Brandon Belt in the hunt for Aubrey Huff's first base job.Now, being that the Giants failed to add any real legitimate power to their lineup, and haven't added a bunch of new personnel to their 25-man roster, so in order for their offense to turn around in 2012, they need guys like Aubrey Huff, who were miserable in 2011, to get back on track. If he doesn't or if either…

  • Giants Sign SS Ryan Theriot to One-Year Deal

    28 Jan 2012 | 2:44 pm
    It took a lot longer than I was expecting, but the Giants finally added a little bit of depth/competition to their middle infield mix this spring by agreeing to terms with Ryan Theriot on a one-year deal worth about $1.25 million.I like this move quite a bit, not because I expect Theriot to be a long-term answer at short for the Giants, but it gives the team depth in the infield when they really needed it and provides some competition heading into spring. It's a non-guaranteed deal, meaning unless Theriot beats out Burris or Fontenot in spring for an opening day roster spot, that contract…

  • Giants Notes: Lincecum Signs, Ross to Boston

    26 Jan 2012 | 3:46 pm
    Well, even though I touched on it a little bit in our last post, I haven't really had a chance to get my thoughts out on the new Lincecum deal since he and the Giants agreed earlier in the week. Also, on the other end of things, the Giants missed out on shoring up their outfield by letting Cody Ross sign in Boston for only $3 million in 2012.First off, obviously, wanted to talk a bit about Lincecum. I've already said here that I didn't expect him to sign a long-term deal that takes him through free agency, but it doesn't mean he wants to leave San Francisco like everyone is suspecting. I…

  • Lincecum Says No to $100MM, 5-Year Deal

    23 Jan 2012 | 6:37 pm
    If the Giants were counting on Lincecum giving the team a hometown discount, they may want to think again, after reports surfaced Monday that the ace right-hander turned down a 5 year, $100 million contract.Now, that deal would have only bought Lincecum out of 3 years of free agency, and would have freed him up when he turned 32. At that age, he'd easily be up for another long-term, big money deal as long as he keeps up his dominant ways, so it is a little bit concerning. However, I don't at all see this as a sign that he wants out of San Francisco like everyone in the media is trying to make…

    SAN FRANCISCO (CBS/AP) — Two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants reached a verbal agreement Tuesday on a two-year contract worth $40.5 million. The deal includes a $500,000 signing bonus and salaries of $18 million this year and $22 million in 2013, a person familiar with the agreement said Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the terms were not announced. Lincecum had asked for a near-record $21.5 million in salary arbitration and had been offered $17 million by the club. He remains eligible for free agency following the 2013 season.

Ben Cherington has clearly been in the process of addressing this issue for the past week. When the Sox dealt Marco Scutaro last weekend to the Rockies, they freed up $6 million for free agent acquisitions. Cody Ross joins the outfield and immediately brings depth to all positions in the outfield. Ross is mostly known by baseball fans for his performance during the 2010 postseason, where he was named MVP for the San Francisco Giants after hitting five home…

    48-year old Jim Harbaugh has been named the NFL’s Coach of the Year for 2011.  Harbaugh led the Niners to a 13-3 (81.3%) record during the regular season and he was 1-1 in the playoffs.  Harbaugh molded the 49ers into the type of team he had at Stanford.  They improved on both sides of the football in 2o11 as they averaged 23.8 points per game while giving up 14.3 points per game.  I look for Harbaugh to win more awards in the near future as he is a very good coach.

And with his arrival, the Raiders look to be in for a new defensive scheme. To say Tarver is well-versed in the 3-4 would be an understatement of sorts.

    Carlos Rogers may be a free agent for the second time in as many seasons, though he is likely to get more attention this time. It’s hard to envision the 49ers using a franchise tag, which likely will be close to $11 million, on a soon to be 31-year old cornerback. Whereas Rogers was one of the most productive corners in the NFL and he played the ball exceptionally well, he had a little inconsistency in covering receivers. In fact, the Giants went after him with some success in the playoffs. Source: National Football Post Attached Thumbnails

  • 49ers Want To Re-Sign QB Alex Smith In A “Big Way”

    5 Feb 2012 | 10:53 am
    Pro Football Weekly reports that an inside source has informed them that 49ers intend to retain QB Alex Smith despite his late season struggles. "I think they still want to re-sign Alex Smith in a big way," said the source. "He'll be affordable, and he wants to come back. I would be shocked if they don't re-sign him." There's been plenty of speculation that the 49ers may consider some of the other available options during free agency and the draft but San Francisco hasn't given any indication that would suggest that they'll allow Smith to leave. I'd expect to see them re-sign Smith to…
