enthusiasm or combine that enthusiasm with the natural stadium that san francisco offers, then the america's cup i think we can all perhaps start to see will be simply sensational. they have raced all over the world and i can tell you that san francisco was at the front of the cue when the natural attributes were handed out. to me, the bay area is the perfect sailing stadium. you have strong winds. you have an open relatively deep waterfront where the boats can cut the sail right in close against the peers and so forth and having competed in the olympics in america's cup quite a few times, i have seen firsthand the positive and enduring benefits, and, jennifer, you mentioned a lot of them, that such an iconic

world class boating event can bring, not just to the host city, but often the host nation. so i'm convinced that people that will eventually look back on this america's cup, instead of calling it the 34th america's cup or even the 2013 america's cup, i believe it will come to be known as the san francisco america's cup. [applause] >> i think i said sometime ago and i have always believed that the america's cup, because of this is fortunate, very, very fortunate, very lucky in fact to have san francisco. but san francisco is also lucky i believe to have the america's cup and here is why. where we are today will be the race village.

for fans this will be their headquarters. this will become a social hub of the city, not just for the america's cup, but for the long term also. in the olympic games and america's cup that i have seen firsthand, enduring legacy that such waterfront developments have it leaves for a long period of time. yet here in san francisco, we are only minutes away from the downtown offices and hotels and the embarcadero is the main tourist route along the city front. the official opening of the america's cup event village will happen sometime around the commencement around the lucy vuitton cup which tom says starts on july 5. the ambition is to have parts of the village open to the public from may on wards or

earlier if we can manage it. on the other side of the bay bridge will be pit road. this is where the team bases will be and where the fans will get up close and by up close, really close to the spectacular boats that will compete in the summer of 2013. so in the past, in the past, the teams have had 15-foot high fences around the bases. lucy, you would remember that sort of treatment and the security guards and so forth that prevented the public from coming in. that's all about to change. people will be able to see these boats close up and see them lifted into and out of the water and see the teams getting on and off the boats and working on the boats and making the changes to make them fast on the racecourse. and this activity and interaction won't be typical of

weekend long sporting events or it won't be like a weeklong festival like fleet week it. will go on for months. on july 4, the lewis vuitton challenger series will start -- sorry, i said the 5th, it's the 4th. after two weeks of racing the challenger will line up against the home team on september 9. the american team will be racing to keep the america's cup in america. and all this racing will take place right off the city front. the start line will be adjacent to marina green where the golden gate bridge at a backdrop. from the start, it will take the boats probably less than a minute to scream towards the first turn which would be only about 150 yards off the shoreline, so close to the water's edge in fact that you'll be able to hear the sound of the winches and the

voices of the crew. i'm talking about polite voices. the regatta director has just issued a directive about the salty language needing to be a little sweeter. then boats will rip up and down the bay. on that first leg, they'll approach speeds close to 50 miles per hour, but they'll rip up and down the bay over a three-lap course and then the finish line will be right off here at piers 27 and 29. so the america's cup competition will be 162 years old, this fantastic trophy next year, yet it will have seen nothing like what's about to happen in san francisco. this will be the fastest, most fan friendly cup there has ever been. you'll have the drama and excitement of the athletes

racing extreme machines on the best natural racing arena in the world and i agree, tom, better than new zealand in terms of a racing arena. may i remind you, the last america's cup was the last time it was in the u.s. was in san diego in 1995. fans had to head out to the pacific ocean for more than 1 1/2 hours to see the racing. they had to spend 1 1/2 hours to come back afterwards. for this america's cup in the same three years, we could have had, in fact, more than three races completed. and those races will be shown around the world live on tv and here in the u.s. on nbc. it will be a very different style of america's cup, more exciting, more engaging, more accessible. it will be the best sailors racing the fastest boats on the

best stage. and you don't have to own a boat or even have access to a boat or even in fact know anything about boating to be part of this event. you simply head down to the shore to watch the action on the water or watch it on one of the big screens that will be here along the waterfront and for the mobile device generation, i have particularly avoided the facebook generation. for the mobile device generation, your spectator experience will be enhanced by apps especially designed to get you inside the races and experience what it's like to be onboard these boats. it will be the most fan friendly america's cup in history. there will be a chance to see some of this, this summer. the america's cup teams will come here and be racing the a.c. 45 class and some of you may have already seen us

training in these boats on the bay. these boats are currently racing in the america's cup world series. they are the same boats that will be racing in venice in a few weeks' time and then in newport toward the end of june. they are the boats coming here later this year to san francisco. but for the america's cup finals and the lewis vuitton trials, teams will race the a.c. 72. now we have half of an a.c. 45 boat at the back of this place here today. we have some of the wing parts of an a.c. 45 boat here today. imagine a boat nearly twice as long as an a.c. 45 with something like four times the pair and imagine the wing style being twice as tall as the a.c. 45, something as tall as a 1-story building. that's what's coming town. that's what is under construction in our team base

at pier 80. that's what our team will begin training in later this year, perhaps as early as the end of july, beginning of august here on the bay. so these boats are cool, they're meant to be cool and are cool. the america's cup has been transformed. it has retained the tradition, but it's blown away the stuffyness that is all about now, it's all about inclusion. it's for the city front crowd just as much as it is for the other crowd. two years and two months ago, our team won the america's cup and brought it to san francisco and i'm delighted to be here with the mayor signing of the resolution is a major milestone. it marks months of tremendous hard work, good will, cooperation and, yes, some heartache along the way to allow the america's cup to

proceed. the america's cup is a tremendous opportunity for the city and for the bay area and i might add for the sport of sailing to showcase our sport in a new and exciting way. so thank you, mr. mayor, and all others. [applause] and all others who have helped make this a reality. let's capture the memories of every single person who papers and -- parities updates and sees the summer of raising on the bay. let's encourage them to remember that this is the best america's cup ever. let's encourage them to remember this as the san francisco america's cup. thank you very much. thank you. [applause]

>> the san francisco cup, i like it. i was just thinking back about the comment i made about your success in california over the years. in 1995 in san diego when the cup left, i think you won that one, too, didn't you? one of them, yes, a good success. thanks, russell, terrific stuff. mr. mayor, jennifer, now we have got a special treat for all of you. we got a special treat and i would like to invite up here a colleague from oracle racing, the team coordinator who is going to show you the game called america's cup speed trial on ipads live and in color on the tv screens. please welcome ian burns. [applause] >> hi, how are you? >> great, thanks. >> ian is from sydney, australia, his nickname is fresh. half of the people don't know his real name is ian. he is known more commonly as

fresh and he and a group of people from around the world, an international group at russell's behest have developed an ipad game for what you call it, the mobile crowd. the mobile device generation. tim jeffrey, that's the mobile, mobile device generation, the m.d.g. do you have a mobile device, charlotte? we're going to get you one. look how cool this is. fresh, show us how this works. we're on this screen, i think. >> when we developed the game, we wanted a game that anyone could play from 6 to 96 and anyone of sailing experience or no sailing experience so the game can be played by anyone, but we'll demonstrate it a little bit later on. you choose your team you want to represent. of course, we'll choose oracle. >> this is a new style of racing. in fact, russell, we have

incorporated this into the america's cup world series. it's called the speed trial. it's over a 500-meter course. the idea is to sail the boat down the drag strip as fast as possible among all of the teams. this is done in naples. here is fresh demonstrating trying to go down the course. >> down the course as fast as i can. i'm steering by actually rocking the ipad from side to side and if you aren't careful, you can actually capsize the boat just like real life. i'm trying to get the fastest time that i can and around 35 seconds is not too bad. i'm not looking too good at the momen starts to heel over, you do what? >> you turn into the wind like this, you can capsize and if you turn away from the wind, you can avoid a capsize. >> oh, you capsized! is that artemis raising that capsizes in that video? >> actually, yes.

>> sorry, me lippeda, we had to mention

that is pretty good. do you want to have another go? ok, thank you very much. ladies and gentlemen, that concludes our presentation. think you, mr. mayor, russell, jennifer.

when a resident of san francisco is looking for health care, you look in your neighborhood first. what is closest to you? if you come to a neighborhood health center or a clinic, you then have access it a system of care in the community health network. we are a system of care that

was probably based on the family practice model, but it was really clear that there are special populations with special needs. the cole street clinic is a youth clinic in the heart of the haight ashbury and they target youth. tom woodell takes care of many of the central city residents and they have great expertise in providing services for many of the homeless. potrero hill and southeast health centers are health centers in those particular communities that are family health centers, so they provide health care to patients across the age span. . >> many of our clients are working poor. they pay their taxes. they may run into a rough patch now and then and what we're able to provide is a bridge towards getting them back on their feet. the center averages about

14,000 visits a year in the health clinic alone. one of the areas that we specialize in is family medicine, but the additional focus of that is is to provide care to women and children. women find out they're pregnant, we talk to them about the importance of getting good prenatal care which takes many visits. we initially will see them for their full physical to determine their base line health, and then enroll them in prenatal care which occurs over the next 9 months. group prenatal care is designed to give women the opportunity to bond during their pregnancy with other women that have similar due dates. our doctors here are family doctors. they are able to help these women deliver their babies at the hospital, at general hospital. we also have the wic program, which is a program that provides food vouchers for our families after they have their children, up to age 5 they are

able to receive food vouchers to get milk and cereal for their children. >> it's for the city, not only our clinic, but the city. we have all our children in san francisco should have insurance now because if they are low income enough, they get medical. if they actually have a little more assets, a little more income, they can get happy family. we do have family who come outside of our neighborhood to come on our clinic. one thing i learn from our clients, no matter how old they are, no matter how little english they know, they know how to get to chinatown, meaning they know how to get to our clinic. 85 percent of our staff is bilingual because we are

serving many monolingual chinese patients. they can be child care providers so our clients can go out and work. >> we found more and more women of child bearing age come down with cancer and they have kids and the kids were having a horrible time and parents were having a horrible time. how do parents tell their kids they may not be here? what we do is provide a place and the material and support and then they figure out their own truth, what it means to them. i see the behavior change in front of my eyes. maybe they have never been able to go out of boundaries, their lives have been so rigid to sort of expressing that makes tremendous changes. because we did what we did, it is now sort of a nationwide model. >> i think you would be surprised if you come to these clinics. many of them i think would be your neighbors if you knew that. often times we just don't discuss that. we treat husband and wife and

they bring in their kids or we treat the grandparents and then the next generation. there are people who come in who need treatment for their heart disease or for their diabetes or their high blood pressure or their cholesterol or their hepatitis b. we actually provide group medical visits and group education classes and meeting people who have similar chronic illnesses as you do really helps you understand that you are not alone in dealing with this. and it validates the experiences that you have and so you learn from each other. >> i think it's very important to try to be in tune with the needs of the community and a lot of our patients have -- a lot of our patients are actually immigrants who have a lot of competing priorities, family issues, child care issues, maybe not being able to

find work or finding work and not being insured and health care sometimes isn't the top priority for them. we need to understand that so that we can help them take care of themselves physically and emotionally to deal with all these other things. they also have to be working through with people living longer and living with more chronic conditions i think we're going to see more patients coming through. >> starting next year, every day 10,000 people will hit the age of 60 until 2020. . >> the needs of the patients that we see at kerr senior center often have to do with the consequences of long standing substance abuse and mental illness, linked to their chronic diseases. heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, stroke, those kinds of chronic illnesses. when you get them in your 30's

and 40's and you have them into your aging process, you are not going to have a comfortable old age. you are also seeing in terms of epidemics, an increase in alzheimer's and it is going to increase as the population increases. there are quite a few seniors who have mental health problems but they are also, the majority of seniors, who are hard-working, who had minimum wage jobs their whole lives, who paid social security. think about living on $889 a month in the city of san francisco needing to buy medication, one meal a day, hopefully, and health care. if we could provide health care early on we might prevent (inaudible) and people would be less likely to end up in the

emergency room with a drastic outcome. we could actually provide prevention and health care to people who had no other way of getting health care, those without insurance, it might be more cost effecti

>> you probably think you know all about the exploratorium. but have you ever been after dark? did you know there was a monthly party called after dark? science mixes with culture and adults mix with other adults. no kids allowed. every week there is a different theme. to tell us about the themes is melissa alexander. tell us about some of the previous themes we have had. >> we have had sex ploration, sugar, red, blue.

many things. >> what is the theme tonight? >> rock, paper, scissors. we are having a tournament tonight, but we have also used as a jumping off point to explore lots of different ideas. you can find out about rock, paper, scissors as a game as a reproductive strategy. you can interact with a piece of art created by lucky dragon. you can get your hair cut from a cool place called the public barber's salon. they use scissors only. you can find out about local geology, too. >> that sounds like fun. let's check it out. >> this is the most common rock on the surface of the earth. interesting thing is, most of this rock is covered over by the ocean. >> error congested a cool presentation on plate tectonics.

tell us about what we just saw. >> we wrapped up a section of a lesson on a plate tectonics, here at the exploratory and -- exploritorium. >> are you excited to see people here having fun and learning about science? >> the people that come here are some selected to begin with, they actually enjoy science. i teach teachers to have fun with their kids. the general public is a great audience, too. they're interested in science. >> we have a blast every time. they have different names. >> they have a bar and a cafe. everything i need. we are excited for the speaker. >> it is nice to be in the exploratorium when there are not

a lot of kids around. >> before tonight, i never knew there were major league rules to rock, paper, scissors. i am getting ready to enter into a competition. sarah's here to give me some tips. what do i need to do to win it? >> this is a game of chance, to a degree. one of the best ways to bring it home is a degree of intimidation, maybe some eye contact, maybe some muscle. it is a no contact sport. sheer i contact is a good way to maybe intimidate to see if you can set them off, see if they throw something they did not mean to. >> i am going to see what happens. >> i got kicked out in the first round. [applause] >> given up for sunni.

the rock, paper, scissors champion. >> what are you going to do now? >> i have been having so much fun. i got my tattoo. before we go, i want to thank melissa alexander for having us here tonight. how did you know san francisco needed a night like tonight? >> thank you for coming. everybody loves the exploratorium. we are reluctant to push the kids out of the way in the day, so i knew we needed to create one evening a month just for the rest of us to have a good time, the adults. >> absolutely. where can we find out what is coming up after dark? >> that is easy, exploratorium .edu/afterdark. >> thank you. thanks for watching
