i needed to meet the lion of punjab or maybe the tiger. no one seemed to know which feline al-sharif was nicknamed after. some fans rode around with stuffed toy lions strapped to their cars, others talked about the tiger of punjab. by default he had become the most popular opposition leader in the country. he was already the most popular politician in punjab which was the most powerful of pakistan's four provinces home to most of the army leaders and past rulers. some people described sharif as the homer simpson of pakistan. others considered him a right-wing wingnut. still others figured he could save the country. i called everyone i knew to try to get an interview. you only get 15 minutes with him, shaf sharif's press aide finally told me, maybe 20 at most. i flew in on a friday morning, and we drove for an hour towards sharif's palatial grounds. the place might have well been called la la land given the fact that his name and picture were on everything from the hospital to giant billboards. everywhere i looked, sharif, amiable, slightly

you really see the area of district 6 and the financial district has the lion's share of estimated pedestrian crossing. some of the areas around market street have about 200,000-plus crossings per day. that is not a small amount. it is comparable to some european cities. you have the level of intensity of pedestrian crossing. also important to note is the yellow corridor that runs to the south and west, michigan corridor, that is a heavy transit line. transit and pedestrian crossings are actually very close as well. we are a walking city. we have voted many times. we are the most walkable city. that comes with some other increases in various exposure to pedestrian, bicycle, and motors crossings as well. we have been looking at what we can do within our current toolkit of resources and allowable measures. best practices were mentioned that we are not able to utilize. of the things we can utilize, like red zones, where we advance the packing further back so the pedestrians have greater visibility as the cross, and especially for seniors, senior visibility is really critical to be able to gauge

this is the lion's share of the overtime. this is looked at in the monthly reports and hearings that take place at the financial committee. >> i have a couple of quick questions. i asked about comparisons to the other cities, and did not want to create additional work for you. >> we just make them work. >> if it is possible to compare the rates for the departments, the two that are jumping out -- fire departments, and other transit agencies, it would be helpful to compare this. i know that the departments are looking at this carefully, but the other question that i had, you mentioned that there are some departments that make the claim that using overtime is cheaper than hiring new people. i hear this as an argument, but there -- i wonder if there is an analytical framework that will document and justify this? >> we have an hourly rate, for these costs. we're happy to do that. >> this has been prepared by the fire department, a number of years ago, and was reviewed by the comptroller's office and the mayor's office. this is a

into the general plan which is the vast majority generated by the tax increment created becomes the lion share of what is produced. we are not doing this at the expense of the general fund and it allows us to divert a significant amount into the improvements. >> our fiscal impact study was done as part of the lengthy hearings which was peer reviewed by the comptroller's office. and there is also the additional costs related to fire, public health. all which will be accretive for the city. we all sympathize on this. a portion of the money would have gone towards accelerating development of that public improvements, those trees, those parks and that sidewalk. i would like to say that the whole purpose of this partnership is to address what we believe is a deficiency. we have a great plan but we have not been able to implement much of the plan. this would address the concerns of the residents like that gentleman, jamie would occur, everyone else waiting for those changes. >> the requirement is that these improvements are made. you get those improvements at the front and rather than when the

the broadcaster would get the money and the treasury would get the lion's share of the money. the idea is, would it be truly voluntary? for the broadcast is not participate in, they are probably going to be moved into a neighborhood frequency so that wireless carriers can have a continuous lot of spectrum. they need that to operate effectively. if a broadcaster have to reconfigure their engineering equipment, they are going to incur costs. to be fair, that would not be voluntary, by definition, to them. they would have to be compensated to be made whole. that is the horn of the debate, how to make it and the voluntary. we have not seen a lot of action in congress so far. on april 8, and the number of days in the legislative year are quickly dwindling down. there is a lot that is occupying congress' mind right now. we are starting to run out of time. >> you talked about congress and their agenda. we are also approaching a presidential election and another congressional election. does that effect be fcc -- effect the fcc? >> sometimes it does. sometimes chairmen have been reluct

person with no qualifying medical insurance, but with the help of the program, along with cpmc and the lions club, i was given the opportunity to have service for free. >> [speaking chinese] >> for all my gratitude, i truly believe that cpmc's dedication to social responsibility is genuine and voluntary. in this age of increasing demand for medical services, i believe the extension that cpmc is seeking will do much good for the public for a long time to come. >> [speaking chinese] >> please give cpmc your favorable consideration. thank you. [applause] >> please come up towards the front. >> good evening, commissioners. i am the chairman of obstetrics and gynecology at cpmc for the last 12 years. i have been in charge of maternity care for about the half the births in this city for 17 years. as we have grown to 6000 births, as our services have become so attractive, what has kept me up late at night worrying is our lack of an intensive care unit on the california campus, so that we have to transfer very ill mothers to the pacific campus, should that arise in labor and delivery. we are back an

in terms of the house in distribution, santa clara and two other counties would take on the lion's share of the region's growth. san francisco would see its percentage of the region's households and populations decline from 13% to 12%. that would be in part because we really work to recognize the existing plan, recognize that making these plans have been will take a lot of investment. but as we move forward, we are open and want to hear from all the jurisdictions, certainly san francisco and the region, in terms of how growth might be accommodated here. there is certainly no better place in the bay area to accommodate sustainable growth. within san francisco, you cannot really read this slide, but it shows the different neighborhoods in the city. again, these are largely based on planning cities input. -- with the city's input. overall, the initial vision scenario has a number of measures to reduce pressure on conservation areas. it significantly utilizes existing transit. my colleague will get to some of the details in a moment. in many respects, it provides for a big change in our popu

i believe that commissioner moore's questions addressed the issue about the lions and the food lines, so i think that's, you know, i'm satisfied with that response. i was wondering the impact that the construction might have on the residence. is there anything that is being done to make sure that their quality of life is not terribly impacted by the construction part of it? >> we have been meeting with the residence over the last several years to address their concerns regarding impacts during construction. we had a meeting last month that reviewed all the city requirements for construction mitigation as well as additional construction mitigation for the eir in terms of noise, tines of work -- times of war, making sure there is no effect on the building due to our construction work next door -- times of work. our contractor came to the meeting last month and explain how they would insure their safety during construction will continue at communication during construction with the site superintendent, with his or her contact information being available to residents so they can be consta

luke's, ucsf picked up the lion's share of the burden. chinese, which is distinct in many ways, and cpmc and kaiser are at the bottom of the list. supervisor campos: just a quick question -- how does that happen? is that a decision that the individual hospital made? how does that come to be? those percentages. how is it that, you know, a hospital is that 37%, and another one is that 10% or 2%, for that matter. >> that is also a good question, which we could go into more detail about. it would be nice to have specific figures for the city and county, but generally speaking, people either come to a hospital because their doctor sends them their and their doctor or practitioner has an affiliation, or because they show up in an ambulance. we will look at ambulance the version as well. suddenly, hospitals and their related providers can be making decisions, and at many points along the way about how accessible they allow their services to be, or the terms under which they negotiate with low-income patients. they can attract them or not. so the

it's time to make nato -- even though we have the lion's share of nato -- it's time to make the otheruntries step up. it's in their best interest. it's in their part of the world and it's time to have them step up and do their role because they didn't help out a lot in iraq at all and most of them aren't helping out that much in afghanistan. as you know, even though it's a big coalition effort, we are doing the lion's share there. so i think it is time for us to step back a little bit and let nato step up. we've done a whole lot for them but our plate is full. >> so you're saying don't arm the rebels? >> yeah. i don't think we should arm the rebels. we see time and time again we make decisions based on what happens immediately without any foresight. and what happens is the guys who we arm could come back and be the guys shooting at our military at some point in the next decade kind of like what happened in afghanistan. i don't think we should arm the rebels, no. >> do you agree with the nato secretary-general rasmussen who says the u.n. mandate precludes arming the rebels because as y
