san francisco city hall with the type of diverse carl served with my usage on the board of supervisors is here my usage did a lot of causes that people thought were losing causes he ran a couple of times and lost but in the 11 months he challenged a lot of existing fierce of what could be and dreams of what we can co- create so when a man a fellow brown naming gordon decided to run for president of the board of supervisors my usage made a point of joining carol silver and ella in supporting gordon

even though they knew they were going to louis lose and why he said i want san franciscans to dream there will be an asian president board of supervisors and maybe a asian mayor of the san francisco that's harry's dream i saw what we have in this great mayor, i get often asked am i sad that my usage didn't see the day when we have 9/11 drafts and xhaem shows we're i don't know people in treasure island that will be having difficult table conversations having conversations and standing up for who they are in

school yards and not only lgbt people but men anyone who skins skin is different or religion or non-risen is different those were dreams he did get to see them he got to see today when this wonderful city of san francisco would be this beaming light we have a decision that the not only a-year-old people think it's old hat that the sprusht knocked down a ruling a federal discretionary law dolled the dorm don't remember a woman

named edit was not going to take this she didn't have a law she said i'm not going to take this (clapping) he dreamed of the overcame people that would rise that to injustice if their own lives and dreamed as a society would come together and support minority like in a red state like arizona we had a discretionary law and for the fritter we've seen a rise up led by corporations and different faith organizations and people of different colors who said we won't tolerate this no way and we got a governor to veto that legislation. historic

(clapping) but as much as we are in the best of times in the united states i spend a lot of time abroad we're in the worse ways time abroad with one stroke of a pen over a billion people went background with india recriminals the people because of who they love and who having they a afghan followed suit. let me share with you one of the reasons i have global right in my experience when i was 20th century i got to go to a conference if north america rob with the decade on women there was a short black woman who got up and a room of people who looked like me at conference of

women in north america rob age of he said if you come here because you want to help me go home. we have nothing to talk about. if you have come here because you want to help me and people like me go home we have nothing to talk about you could hear a pin drop but if you come here because i understand your liberation is down with mine then let us work together that's the answer to the global equality issue your liberation is down with people in eastern upper and people in and africa we have a self-interest it can't be ultimate lyric we have a self-interest to make sure that no one is a sclas citizen that's

the dream of harvey milk (clapping) ann and i are going to close this beautiful ceremony by asking a couple of people that we have noticed that deserve recognition in addition to the co-sponsors and in addition to all our esteemed speakers we're going to ask some people to come up is that okay >> i think we should rather than do that i think that everyone who knew and loved harry because if i start saying names. >> i'll list some. >> we've said steve have an and carol. >> all the staff people. >> the staff people you started the entire thing thank you very

>> 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

(music) >> herb theatre,open rehearsal. listen to the rehearsal. i think it is fun for them, they see our work process, our discussions, the decisions we make. it is good for us. we kind of behavior little bit when we have people in the audience. msk (music) >> we are rehearsing for our most expensive tour; plus two concerts here. we are proud that the growth of the orchestra, and how it is expanded and it is being accepted.

my ambition when i came on as music director here -- it was evident we needed absolutely excellent work. also evident to me that i thought everyone should know that. this was my purpose. and after we opened, which was a spectacular opening concert about five weeks after that the economy completely crashed. my plan -- and i'm absolutely dogmatic about my plans --were delayed slightly. i would say that in this very difficult timefor the arts and everyone, especially the arts, it's phenomenal how new century has grown where many unfortunate organizations have stopped.

during this period we got ourselves on national radio presence; we started touring, releasing cds, a dvd. we continue to tour. reputation grows and grows and grows and it has never stopped going forward. msk(music) >> the bay area knows the orchestra. you maybe take things for granted a little bit. that is simply not the case will go on the road. the audiences go crazy. they don't see vitality like this on stage. we are capable of conveying joy when we play. msk(music) >> any performance that we do, that a program, that will be something on the program that you haven't heard before.

string orchestra repertoire is pretty small. i used to be boxed into small repertoire. i kept constantly looking for new repertoire and commissioning new arrangements. if you look at the first of the program you have very early, young vibrant mendelson; fabulous opener and then you have this fabulous concerto written for us in the orchestra. is our gift. msk(music) >> and then you have strauss, extraordinary piece. the most challenging of all. string orchestra work. 23 solo instrument, no violin section,

now viola section; everybody is responsible for their part in this piece. the challenge is something that i felt not only that we could do , absolutely could do, but i wanted to show off. i can't tell you how aware i am of the audience. not only what i hear but their vibes, so strong. i have been doing this for a long time. i kind of make them feel what i want them to feel. there is nobody in that audience or anywhere that is not going to know that particular song by the fourth note.

and that is our encore on tour. by the way. i am proud to play it, we are from san francisco. we are going to play that piece no matter where we are. well, e
