just actually went out to one of the superintendent zones and had a meeting with the attendance liaison there, and she is finding great success because she not only works with the executive in the superintendent zone, she is from the community and knows the community, and that is one of the caveat is we have asked, and i think they are actually trying to get funding for her to work over the summer time where parents are less stressed about the day-to-day getting to the child to school but can be more amenable to a conversation about how we can help get the child to school, so just on that particular topic. i wanted to mention that, but really, i wanted to address my comments are around the uesf and advocacy and be very clear -- it is not our local legislators who are at fault. that advocate incredibly long

andadvocate, long and hard around educational issues. it is those of us who are not in the area with the understanding -- we know how important to the committee legislation as. if i was to say something -- it would be to those listening, and watching in the audience. talk to your relatives and friends, in california, to speak to the local legislators. those people have not come up through education, in their legislative and political past, did not get this. they did not have the tax extensions. the burden all across the state of california, they throw up

their hands. i cannot understand how this could possibly be. i ask you to go to your relatives and friends, and to address the legislators. address the people who are there. did this the other way though -- the with the other legislators to. >> another any other comments? >> i appreciate you have done, with the hard work of overseeing the budget, with a year or so of difficulty. it makes me so angry to see our children being shortchanged this way. at the state level and the federal level as well.

we are in three wars, and the $40 billion that was cut from the national budget, there was no cut military spending, no discussion about getting out of afghanistan, and who knows what will happen with india, and the other bases that we have all around the world. this is where the state of our society is. we are not caring about children and we need to. i will be supporting barack obama for his reelection. he came to san francisco a few weeks ago, and he left here about $10 million richer than when he got here. we have money here and this is going to the political process that is not able to bring the

money down to the local level. i have children and a lot of the people in this room have children, and this is just mind- boggling. we have to live with this. my hat goes off to all of you, who are struggling with this. it is very difficult to feel hopeful, but we are doing this for our children. >> if i may respond. i appreciate you sending this. this really struck a chord with me about hope. the very first time in the budget meeting, it was -- hope is not a strategy. we cannot depend on us.

we have to speak with the vote, and i wanted to speak to that. >> thank you for such a lively discussion and thank you for making this presentation. are there any members of the public who wish to make a comment? public comment is closed. can you read the other item on the agenda? >> that is everything. >> this meeting is adjourned. thank you all.

>> i work with the department of environment and we are recycling oil. thank you. we can go into a refinery and we can use it again. they do oil changes and sell it anyway, so now they know when a ticket to a. hal>> to you have something you want to get rid of?

>> why throw it away when you can reuse it? >> it can be filtered out and used for other products. >> [speaking spanish] >> it is going to be a good thing for us to take used motor oil from customers. we have a 75-gallon tank that we used and we have someone take it from here to recycle. >> so far, we have 35 people. we have collected 78 gallons, if not more. these are other locations that you can go. it is absolutely free. you just need to have the location open. you are set to go.

>> welcome to culture wire. we will look at the latest and greatest public art project. recently, the airport unveiled the new state of the art terminal. let's take a look. the new terminal service and american airlines and virgin america was designed by a world- renowned architecture's firm. originally built in 1954, the building underwent massive renovation to become the first

registered terminal and one of the must modern and sustainable terminals and the united states. the public art program continues its 30-year legacy of integrating art into the airport environment with the addition of five new commissions that are as bold and dynamic as the new building. >> this project was completed in record time, and we were able to integrate the artist's early enough in the process that they could work with the architect said that the work that is completed is the work that really helps complement and instill the space as opposed to being tucked away in a corner. >> be experience begins with the glass facades that was designed with over 120 laminated glass panels. it captures the experience of

being under or over clouds when flying in a plane. depending on the distance or point of view, it can appear clear for more abstract and atmospheric. the subtle colors change gradually depending on the light and the time of day. >> i wanted to create an art work that looks over time as well as working on in the first glance. the first time you come here, you may not see a. but you may be able to see one side over the other. it features a couple of suspended sculptures. each was created out of a series of flat plains run parallel to each other and constructed of steel tubing. >> it is made up of these strata. as the light starts to shift, there is a real sense that there

is a dynamism. >> it gives the illusion that this cultures might be fragments of a larger, mysterious mass. >> the environmental artwork livens it with color, light, and the movement. three large woven soldiers are suspended. these are activated by custom air flow program. >> i channeled air flow into each of these forms that makes it move ever so slightly. and it is beating like a heart. if-0 when as of the forces of nature moving around us every second. >> shadow patterns reflect the

shapes of the hanging sculptures. the new terminal also features a children's play areas. both of the market the exploratory n.y. -- exploratorium. the offer travelers of all ages a playful oasis. using high quality plywood, they created henches shaped like a bird wings that double as musical instruments. serving as a backdrop is a mural featuring images of local birds and san francisco's famous skyline. >> in the line between that is so natural, you can see birds and be in complete wilderness. i really like that about this.

you could maybe get a little snapshot of what they are expecting. >> it is an interactive, keck sculpture that is interacted with by the visitor. >> they are a lot about and they fall down the belt. it moves the belt up, and if you turn that faster, the butterflies fall in the move of words. >> the art reflect the commission's commitment to acquiring the best work from the bay area and beyond. in addition to the five new commissions, 20 artworks that were already in the airport collection were reinstalled. some of which were historically cited in the terminal. it includes major sculptures by the international artists.
