the bill focuses on funding stabilization. so the question with regard to the commission nancy pelosi has had her comments repeated and other congressional folks and the city attorney is addressing the no right so all those questions will be and the. the bill has an urgency clause because we want it to be taken place immediately in 2014-2015. it requires a 2/3rd's majority of votes so to the degree we can recognize there are other important and serious issues concerning the city college of san francisco but not to have those issues cloud the direction and purpose of this bill k is what i'll be focusing on we need 2/3rd's vote. so with regards to the

commission itself and with regard to the salaries those must be addressed those is about funding stabilization >> what about the authors - why should they care about. >> you put your finger on my job. the way i'll present this to my colleagues, we have a one hundred and 12 district system and that we're all in this together to the degree that the largest and most important part of it is struggling right now. any risk to a particular campus is a risk to the entire system and should another part of the system find itself for whatever reasons as a result of the commission or internal

challenges the other parts of the system will be there to protect. this can happen to anyone or anywhere. we're not taking away from any campus. so again, it's recognizing that the system is only as strong as it's parts. you you've been parish over here >> will you clarify that the commission is going to amend the criteria is that going to come out can you clarify the amended. >> i can give you the charter and versus it's going to be at the time out. in its place amended in will be after the convention of stakeholders to come up with an accountability standard that will be significant enough to reflect well in the eyes of the

administration in the department of finance >> do you find that in special terms of naming the controversy over the decision to continue to (inaudible) of wells fargo as well as other decisions what was the concern. >> sure. sure. given that my my name is name is on the front of the bill i have to take responsibility. but the reason i believe and my sponsor buildings it shouldn't be in the bill it attracts all the kinds of questions and it's not about the special trustee it was placed there by the chancellor. i'm not here to comment about that with regards to the funding stabilization it wasful there are for the purpose of not

attracting the attention this is about funding stabilization >> (inaudible) and the funding. >> i can let the chandler speak to that. >> this spring we're about 16 percent down from where we were last spring. when you look at that in terms of dollars and cents it probably means something like 23 to $26 million in less funding than perhaps what we have today because of the current stabilization. as you can quickly grasp this is an extraordinarily amount of income that will be taken off the table and not help the institution to regain it's, it's

iconic status and compliance with the standards. the downward surprisingly of funding we can't afford that to continue the work done by the faculty and staff to sustain yourselves. if we have to cut 167 and participates in other year that's 32 percent of the programs that wouldn't support of service the communities of san francisco. we're in a wonderful boom in terms of economics and the city college needs to be there to support of the skill sets that are required to be sustained by the people of san francisco. that's really the hallmark of why this bill t is important >> (inaudible) we would lose so

far there - and a that's correct this year we're in a current year of stabilization and as we finish all the monumental work that's been done it will take at least another year and more importantly it will take time for the students to have the confidence to come back to school. you know what we've noticed it that our students haven't gone anywhere they're waiting to see what's happening to us. that's an important thing to note and the stabilization funding will help to give the confidence back to the students. thank you >> (inaudible). >> i don't have a number only a you are about to give on the on top of my head.

>> what about prop thirty and prop 8 in san francisco we've had (inaudible). >> that didn't balance out the loss. >> i want to talk about numbers like city college 23 million for what? >> currently, we have a budget of $190 million. in general funds >> as of this fall you would expect the 23 million? in the upcoming year if this bill is not passed correct >> and this bill there's been reductions. >> yes. >> generally bubtdz go up and from this fund would that mean less than might be expected or

80 percent or 95 percent but what this college might expect to get is more than what they wanted. >> the wording in the bill is no less than 90 percent in the fourth year so again, if we turn around restoration we'll not need it but if we're restoring enrollment above that it would be what it would have been otherwise. >> the city college from community college they're in similar straits? >> not at the moment he know that a few years back there was a serious challenge to compton. >> what d about the responsibility for this lose is there an effort to collect more

money from students. >> i will let the chandler respond that is out of concern that could be a vicious cycle. >> in terms of the current requirement for students to pay their fees that's already been the case and one of the challenges this institution has come. we can't give a gift of public funds. i wish that community college fees was free. we can't sustain yourselves at the current time we had four and a half million dollars of

receivables from students this should help to pay for additional classes. and we need to collect that 0 money from the students but there are also lots of dollars that go unused in our scholarship fund and through the federal side of the house >> thank you all for being here i have to get myself back to san francisco so thank you all again for being with us today

>> 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.

as a collection, these art works tell the story of the vibrant arts scene in the early 1960's through the mid-1980s's. the illustrate san francisco's cultural center and a place of innovation that is recognized and the love throughout the world. one of the highlights is a series of three left tapestries. they are on view after being in storage for 20 years. these tapestries representing various gardens. from his years of living in san francisco. hydrangeas, chrysanthemums, and whilst dahlias in rich, deep shades as they make their way to the baggage area. they can access behind-the- scenes information and interviews with the artist

through an audio to work. it features archival audio as well as interviews with living artists. he can be accessed on site by dialing the telephone numbers located near the artwork or by visiting the commission's web site. the public art speaks volumes of san francisco as a world-class city with world-class art and culture. for more information, visit >> hi. welcome to san francisco. stay safe and exploring how you can stay in your home safely after an earthquake. let's look at

common earthquake myths. >> we are here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco. we have 3 guest today. we have david constructional engineer and bill harvey. i want to talk about urban myths. what do you think about earthquakes, can you tell if they are coming in advance? >> he's sleeping during those earthquakes? >> have you noticed him take any special? >> no. he sleeps right through them. there is no truth that i'm aware of with harvey that dogs are aware of an impending earthquake. >> you hear the myth all the time. suppose the dog helps you get up, is it going to help you do something >> i hear they are aware of

small vibrations. but yes, i read extensively that dogs cannot realize earthquakes. >> today is a spectacular day in san francisco and sometimes people would say this is earthquake weather. is this earthquake weather? >> no. not that i have heard of. no such thing. >> there is no such thing. >> we are talking about the weather in a daily or weekly cycle. there is no relationship. i have heard it's hot or cold weather or rain. i'm not sure which is the myth. >> how about time of day? >> yes. it happens when it's least convenient. when it happens people say we were

lucky and when they don't. it's terrible timing. it's never a good time for an earthquake. >> but we are going to have one. >> how about the ground swallowing people into the ground? >> like the earth that collapsed? it's not like the tv shows. >> the earth does move and it bumps up and you get a ground fracture but it's not something that opens up and sucks you up into haddes. >> it's not going anywhere. we are going to have a lot of

damage, but this myth that california is going to the ocean is not real. >> southern california is moving north. it's coming up from the south to the north. >> you would have to invest the million year cycle, not weeks or years. maybe millions of years from now, part of los angeles will be in the bay area. >> for better or worse. >> yes. >> this is a tough question. >> those other ones weren't tough. >> this is a really easy challenge. are the smaller ones less stress? >> yes. the amount released in small earthquakes is that they are so small in you need many of those. >> i think would you probably have to have maybe hundreds of

magnitude earthquakes of 4.7. >> so small earthquakes are not making our lives better in the future? >> not anyway that you can count on. >> i have heard that buildings in san francisco are on rollers and isolated? >> it's not true. it's a conventional foundation like almost all the circumstances buildings in san francisco. >> the trans-america was built way before. it's a pretty conventional foundation design. >> i have heard about this thing called the triangle of life and up you are supposed to go to the edge of your bed to save yourself. is there anything of value to that ?

>> yes, if you are in your room. you should drop, cover and hold onto something. if you are in school, same thing, kitchen same thing. if you happen to be in your bed, and you rollover your bed, it's not a bad place to be. >> the reality is when we have a major earthquake the ground shaking so pronounced that you are not going to be able to get up and go anywhere. you are pretty much staying where you are when that earthquake hits. you are not going to be able to stand up and run with gravity. >> you want to get under the door frame but you are not moving to great distances. >> where can i buy a richter scale? >> mr. richter is selling it. we are going to put a plug in for cold hardware. they are not

available. it's a rather complex. >> in fact we don't even use the richter scale anymore. we use a moment magnitude. the richter scale was early technology. >> probably a myth that i hear most often is my building is just fine in the loma prieta earthquake so everything is fine. is that true ? >> loma prieta was different. the ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the duration was moderate. so anyone that believes they survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken. >> we are planning for the bigger earthquake closer to san francisco and a fault totally independent. >> much stronger than the loma

prieta earthquake. >> so people who were here in '89 they should say 3 times as strong and twice as long and that will give them more of an occasion of the earthquake we would have. 10 percent isn't really the threshold of damage. when you triple it you cross that line. it's much more damage in earthquake. >> i want to thank you, harvey, thanks pat for >> we came to seven straight about 10 years ago.

-- 7th street about 10 years ago. the environment is huge. it is stronger than willpower. surrounding yourself with artists, being in a culture where artists are driving, and where a huge amount of them is a healthy environment. >> you are making it safer. push, push. that is better. when i start thinking, i see it actually -- sometimes, i do not see it, but when i do, it is usually from the inside out. it is like watching something being spawned. you go in, and you begin to work, excavate, play with the dancers, and then things began

to emerge. you may have a plan that this is what i want to create. here are the ideas i want to play with, but then, you go into the room, and there maybe some fertile ideas that are becoming manifest that are more interesting than the idea you had initially set out to plan. so there has to be this openness for spontaneity. also, a sense that regardless of the deadline, that you have tons of time so the you can keep your creativity alive and not cut it off and just go into old habits. it is a lot like listening. really listening to watch what is going to emerge. i like this thing where you put your foot on his back. let's keep it. were your mind is is how you build your life. if you put it in steel or in failure, it works. that works.

it is a commitment. for most artists, it is a vacation and a life that they have committed themselves to. there is this notion that artists continue to do their work because of some kind of the external financial support. if that was taken away, artists would still do their art. it is not like there is a prerequisite for these things to happen or i will not do it. how could that be? it is the relationship that you have committed to. it is the vocation. no matter how difficult it gets, you are going to need to produce your art. whether it is a large scale or very small scale. the need to create is going to happen, and you are going to have to fulfill it because that is your life.
