Zazzle Bay To Breakers - The Talking Dog Search

On Sunday, the Zazzle Bay To Breakers will not only be the 100th one, but it will have a first: this video-blogger's search for The Talking Dog.

Talking Dogs have become a vital part of pop culture, and even commercials, like the one for Ally Bank, feature a dog that says "I love my bank," in dogese.

But with over 50,000 online registered runners, and over 100,000 total participants expected, some one of them is bound to have a talking dog. All it takes is one person to make the video sing!

But even with that, what 'talking' is, is different to different people. So, I'll be coming to you and asking you if your dog can talk. Heck, even a bark will do!

Look for me, or better yet, I'll find you at the Zazzle Bay To Breakers!

SF Mayor Lee Expresses Support For Zazzle Bay To Breakers

San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee said his wife got rid of his Spiderman costume long ago, but the man who's never actually ran the Bay To Breakers by his own admission (Hey, he's honest - gotta like that), expressed his support for the 100th running of San Francisco's giant fitness event today.

As the video shows, it was all sunny smiles as Mayor Lee was joined by Bay To Breakers Race Director Angela Fang, a representative from San Francisco District Five Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi's Office, San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr and representatives from the Alamo Square Neighborhood Association that called for the reforms that have reshaped the Bay to Breakers for 2011.

Of all, the Mayor, Ms. Fang, and Lisa Zahner and Ben Allison of the Alamo Square Neighborhood Association were the most pleased with the day and the Bay To Breakers to come on this Sunday. Zahner and Allison said that while "there will always be issues" they were pleased to see that the changes they asked for were adopted.

And of those changes, Chief Suhr said there will be double the number of police officers this year compared to 2010, and informed that the sponsor dollars will be enough to pay for the cost of police services.

Angela Fang received a proclamation from Mayor Lee marking the 100th Anniversary of the Bay To Breakers and Mayor Lee took possession of a special race bib marked "!00."

SF Police Illegal Arrest and Brutality Video At Jefferson Hotel

Jeff Adachi talks new SF Police misconduct video now, a photo by zennie62 on Flickr.

Yesterday, San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi presented a series of videos that shows a group of San Francisco Police Officers - Ricardo Guerrero, Peter Richardson, Robert Sanchez, and Sergeant Kevin Healy - first casing the Jefferson Hotel, a single-room residential hotel located at 440 Eddy Street in the Tenderloin District, then one officer, Guerrero, entering a room after going from floor to floor, then the officers arresting 48-year-old Fernando Santana, and finally carrying a large duffel bag that Santana says is his, and was never reported as evidence.

The video above has all 13 SF Public Defender Videos assembled in order and as one large 11-minute video. It contains text so that a person not familiar with the case can gain some understanding of what is being shown.

The next video to come is a large version of the Adachi Press Conference, that has conversations with SF Public Defender Chief Attorney Matt Gonzalez, Assistant Pubic Defender Qiana Washington, and the bystander who calls himself "Joe" and who was roughed up by the SF Police Officers. That's shown in the video.

Stay tuned.
