we have known that our tax has been a job-killer. this situation has been brought back from an hour conversation with other businesses it is preached that we have legislation to adapt our payroll tax to the varying needs of that neighborhood. this is important now and i hope that many of you will consider co-sponsoring it. i have two other items in that i will be introducing. the first is an ordinance to implement questions for the mayor. 60% of the voters approved a charter amendment that requires the mayor to appear monthly at meetings of this body. today, i am introducing an ordinance to implement this policy which is about transparency, and good government, and open dialogue. this was drafted in consultation with the mayor's office as provided in the charter as well as the clerk's office. we can always ask the mayor questions and our conversations as supervisors. the voters want these questions and others to be given and for answers received and public. people are not looking for question time to be just an exchange of sound bite

since i have been a stable member and have not missed any meetings, i have been laid because i am coming from -- late because i'm coming from bayview. i have been working a lot with the homeless coordinating board and i have gone to their meetings. the rules committee had not been as involved with the shelter monitoring. i am disabled and i live in public housing. i have been very involved with redevelopment in district 10. >> a good afternoon, supervisor kim. supervisors elsbernd and farrell. it is a pleasure to be here. i'm sorry. patricia card farrell. i am applying for seat number two. i believe my current experiences with and the san francisco shelter system would greatly enhance the efforts of the shelter monitoring committee. the city of san francisco is constantly attempting to raise the level of operation and care of the homeless population. as a disabled client and a resident in the shelter system, i continue to gain valuable insight and understanding the needs and challenges in providing ongoing support service to our nation's homeless population. i have a client in the disabi

thosehat have been open have only been open for a couple of hours. they have less food than they used to. i did go around to some shops today that actually, i was kind of surprised by how much they did have. another factor is that money isn't getting around. the banks mostly have been closed. a lot of a.m.t.s are out of money. but i mean there is some evidence that maybe president mubarak thinks that this is putting pressure on citizens. i think it may well be that it's really the other wa arod. that this is putting pressure ultimaly on the government. in any indication there is something of a stalemate. i don't think that this is going to end it. i think that at this point, you know, president mubarak comes... the road to stability is his leaving office rather than his promising not to run for re-election. >> brown: one last thing. is this based on the opposition, the people you're able to talk to, what's your sense of how organized it is when they... when they respond to mubarak's announcent? >> it is striking how little organization there is. you

>> well, that, of course, bob, is the question everyone's been asking. and i think that there's no doubt, i mean, as everyone has been reading about this big organization, the muslim brotherhood, that they will have a role in the government. i mean, there's no doubt about that. >> and that's different, right? i mean, they've been not having an influence, and so this would be a change? >> yes. i mean, they've been a banned party, so this is a huge, huge change in egyptian history. and hey've bee in gyptince the 1920s, so this will be their first time to actually enter government. >> there was a poll that came out this week taken by phone in cairo and alexandria asking questions about these things. and a very low percentage, 15%, said they approved of the muslim brotherhood. has there been a change since years ago in that as a new generation has come up? >> we, i think that the astic that people that have used is 20%, generally, that if there were free elections today, 20% of egyptians would vote for brotherhood candidates, but i think that could be sort o

it's been broken. it's been getting worse since september 11, 2001. and it was obama's ambition to try to fix it, to try to put it on a different trajectory. and i think everyone including people in the white house would say that he hasn't delivered on the expectations that he raised with that speech. where he really indicated that he was going to have a whole new start on the palestinian issue which people care about deeply. i actually would argue that part of what we are seeing, relatively small part but part of this revolution of rising expectations, which has flown from tunisia across the arab world, began with obama's raising expectations, telling people this world that you're living in is, needs to change. we need to watch over the next few weeks to see whether president obama can articulate publicly what people close to him tell me he's thinking as he looks at these events and whether he can, as i said, align the united states with the way the world is now moving. if he can do that, it will be an absolutely achievement of his presidency. but as

every maneuver that has been possible in order to get this through has been done. you want to be very careful as you look at this. three stories was sufficient. what is being proposed is really out of character with the neighborhood. i encourage you to ask for the further review.

we know there has been outreach. what we don't know is the level, the extent if at all that the sides are really talking back and forth. what the governor has said and what the unions and democrats have said is that their positions on these collective bargaining rights, these union bargaining rights that have been part of the wisconsin landscape now political landscape for decades, both sides say they won't give on their positions on that. but of course, you know, often in these types of stand-offs, that's what both sides say until a deal is struck. we stay tuned to that. >> woodruff: is there a sense of who has more leverage right now, jason? >> our story in this morning's paper looked at&t the leverage that both sides have. you know the republicans have this ability in the senate. they can't vote on a financial bill or a budget bill because they need 20 members present to do that. they've only got 19 so they need a democrat there. but for other pieces of legislation, garden variety legislation, they could vote on t

as his aides have been fierce.ide's version of compassions and communities sunni sect might be interpreted as an aggressive and irresponsible expansion of the state or an unacceptable restriction on individual freedom. that is why an second recurring theme is a prayer for humility god answered this prayer for me early on by having me mary mr -- marry michelle. whether it is watching my football game, it keeps me humble. in this life of politics, when it debates have become so bitterly polarized and changes in the media force us to listen to the worst biases. we must object to the scripture to learn that none of us has all of the answers. none of us, no matter what our political party or station in life. the full breadth of human knowledge is like a grain of sand in god's hands. there are some mysteries in this world we cannot fully comprehend. this is written in a joke. god's voice thunders in marvelous ways. -- this is written in job. \ the challenge i find it is to balance this uncertainty, this humility for the

parliament has been dissolved a referendum will be held we don't know presumably before elections in six months time is egypt its government its military government and its protesters can they do that in six months because the reason why i ask this question is that for all of my life it least we've been told that arab people can't rule themselves they need a dictator they need a strong man so we have a country that has an awesome task ahead of it how do you think it's going to play out. you know it's of course is not going to be easy peter but considering the fact that the egyptian people have thrown such overthrown an entrenched and rooted rooted the corrupt and oppressive regime in the matter eighteen days i think they are more than capable of holding fair and democratic and transparent elections in the matter of six months i think it's very much possible that the challenge here is whether. the list over of the regime in egypt and i am sure that there are still many of them out there trying to manage this crisis and preserve whatever they can preserve from their old status and outs

uganda's have been going to the polls. counting is under way. overall, voting was largely untroubled. a former doctor standing against him for the third time, and he has one of protests if he does not win. >> across the country, voters made their choice. 30 years of the president, or time for a change. international and local observers are following the process closely. the boat itself went fairly smoothly. during weeks of campaigning, the president drew large crowds. his popularity partly stems from the fact that he led the country to stability after years of turmoil. he often tells ugandan as if they want the peace to stay, stick with him. the greatest challenge comes from a former ally. he says after so long in power, the president has turned into a dictator. he also has a large support base. he has threatened to call for street protests if he feels cheated in this election. in response, the president with the army and police on the side, said he would lock up any who did demonstrate. this has been by far away the most expensive election that

their voices have been heard. and egypt will never be the same. >> but as the protesters celebrate in cairo's tahrir square, many are asking what will happen now? >> welcome to "bbc news." we're broadcasting in the u.k. and right around the world. i'm alistair yates. there are scenes of rejoicing around egypt as they celebrate the news their president mubarak has resigned after 30 years in power. the vice president announced that the military had been placed in charge of the country, prompting a deafening yell of approval. this is the scene in the square at the moment, just after 4:00 a.m. local time. many people, as you can see, still there, reluctant to go home, wanting to enjoy this historic day. our middle east editor looks back at the last day of hosni mubarak's presidency. >> in the end, the announcement came suddenly and in tahrir square they were taken by surprise. but the news only took a few seconds to sink in. people who had been leaving after another long day of demonstrating turned around and pushed t

there have been concerned about repercussions for those who have been taking part in the protests, also concerned about the work of journalists. a report is from our cairo correspondent. >> just when some thought it was all over, the egyptians and as the world once again. today in central cairo, more protestors than ever turn up to demand the departure of president mubarak. the government wants to give the impression that the protest is slowly fading away. this is the response to the demonstrators. tahrir square is behind me there. if the into hundred people are coming up that way. along here are around the corner and around and around and up here and all along this road. really as far as the eye can see. what has inspired them is this interview carried on satellite tv last night. wael ghonim, a young googles executive, released by the government yesterday after being held by security forces for 12 days. he had a powerful message. >> first, i send my condolences to all who were killed. we do not want damage. do not focus your cameras on me. i am not a hero. the real euros are the youth

island in the mediterranean around eighteen miles away from the coast of north africa it's always been the main route for refugees but since the recent revolution in tunisia it's become swamped by thousands desperate for a better life in europe who are willing to risk all. we got into a storm and. i survived six of us don't. these are some of the boats which were used by the refugees to get here and now they have these signs on them from the authorities saying their use is prohibited by italian a lot they've been only here for a couple of weeks so it's pretty clear their initial condition is far from seaworthy nevertheless sometimes up to two hundred people on each one. and tunisia used to have an agreement under which most tunisian refugees were intercepted before even reaching the island but now that the government has been overthrown the floodgates have opened were not ready for the according to one produces mir is becoming increasingly hard to keep the situation under control with scuffles between migrants and police. there have already been cases of robbery and vandalism it's real

reports of thirst and vandalism and several have been arrested we've been talking to the locals and some of them or you know afraid to come out on the streets when it's dark it takes around three days to seal from tunisia to lampedusa and these are some of the actual boats used by the refugees to get here and you can see they're not really that big so it's really hard to believe that sometimes up to three hundred people can cram on each one and actually not all of them even make it to the island some get lost out there in the open sea and some sink dozens of refugees have already died this is the center where many of the refugees are being house you can see it's like a separate town itself they're being given out food and water and clothes and the necessary medical assistance as well all on the state money the problem is it was initially designed to house just around eight hundred fifty people while it had to receive in reality much more than that and another problem is it's really hard to identify all these people and official say that some of them could be criminals even terrorist

that has been included. there are a couple of other comments that were presented at that meeting that have been incorporated. our next step upon approval of the policy will be to take that and hit the ground running in developing a comprehensive community benefits program and staffing up with that. that will be used as we think about how to put some meat on the bones around the policy with regard to implementation. in the last couple of days, there have been questions raised with regards to the policy. it has been noticed and people have seen it again. one question we wanted to respond to was a question around how we will operationalize the triple bottom-line approach referred to in the policy. this also speaks really well to the comments that were provided about how we think about measuring and communicating what the impact is and the taurus is we are making between economic benefit -- and the choices we are making between economic benefit and community benefit and environmental benefit. the question is how

that has been really valuable. i think what we need is to tap into community enthusiasm and have that go to work in development efforts at the station. we have also -- let me step back a second. that is what i get for talking off the cuff. we have also really begun research into our current big donors so we know who the people are who support the station and know where there is room for increased capacity and giving. i do not know if you have worked with nonprofits, but one of the most important things is to know who your supporters are. we have over 11,000 supporters in this community, people who in the last 15 months have made contributions to the station. some of those folks need -- some of those folks can do more. we need to learn more about who those are. over the last 2.5 years, we have faced the same challenges that nonprofits across the country have. it has been a challenging time for fund-raising. in the report, a talk about the fact that if you look at fiscal year 2009, we had a 50% drop in individual sup
