i used to go here. we used to be many children in p.p.s. . specialists from all over the soviet union came here to operate the nuclear power station. mostly young people in the store and they thought that they were waiting for a bright future. so this town experienced a baby boom. almost no one used the gas masks look out there because the catastrophe happened on a saturday. they'd been kept here and were left untouched. what was in that letter you found. there is a photograph inside. here have a look. in the book to the proper trickle it seems it was written by a child a small girl. trust me your or try their history i was so glad having received your letter so i decided to reply it was my mom got me a new doll she's so beautiful that i'm sometimes afraid to play with her when i go to school in the morning i put her by the window and make the best for her in the evening i love her dearly the weather has already been very warm here we'll be having a holiday soon my parents and i will go to a rally will be inflating balloons and after that ther

>> well, i'm going through what used to be our memory box. i found a picture of us. and some letters and cards. this is what i wanted to find the most. >> reporter: they are still looking for survivors here. rescuers thought they heard a child's voice coming from under the debris at this spot. but no one was found. let me walk you through the devastation in one housing complex that we pretty much picked at random. this building over here, used to have a second story. now, it is gone. this parking lot used to be filled with cars that were parked in an orderly fashion. now, all of them are destroyed, especially this one, which you can see, is now upside down. can see, is now upside down. hundreds of people are now staying in red cross shelters here. this family feared the worst when they were not able to find their 1-year-old baby boy, carter, after the tornado hit. >> he was in bed sleeping. and everything just fell on him. took us a while to get him out. >> reporter: the house fell down on him? >> yeah. he was in the bed, still asleep. >> it's impossible. nobody could

along that line, while it seems to be somewhat mainstream for ebit holders throughout the country today and even abroad to use the moniker of a green event, they often do not rise to achieving that kind of result. i think san francisco could be the first city, and we are very wedded in city hall to be the first in something every now and then, so it is not an unfamiliar distinction, but san francisco in this case can show, because of all the talent that's is really aggregated here today of the city family, neighborhood resources, and the expertise, both public and private, that is now helping us prepare for this, to say that not only do we not want a carbon different -- a carbon neutral event, but we want a carbon-- the event -- carbon-negative event. i think san francisco could be the first. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, a supervisor. probably the linchpin to making this begin to work is going to put the test to muni. i would like to welcome the executive director and ceo of the san francisco municipal transportation agency. >> thank you. yes, it is going to rest on our shoulders, but i think we are we

and some preservationists, on both sides, want it kept as a monument to what life there used to be. em daum is an american jew from brooklyn. he traveled to lifta recently to hear all sides of the story. >> i may have a family link to lifta. my uncle, meyer yosef, a member of the betar zionist youth, left poland for palestine in 1937. he joined the lehi militia, also known as the stern gang. he was my hero. while the rest of my family were victims during the holocaust, he was a fighter for the jewish people. >> he was convinced that israel was home. that's what he told his mother when she was crying at the train station when he left poland. she was crying so much. he said, "don't cry, i'm going home." the arabs, we didn't think about them at all. >> in 1947, my uncle's stern gang and other jewish militias were fighting arab forces near lifta. on december 28, jewish fighters entered lifta's coffeehouse and killed at least five villagers, allegedly in retaliation for an attack on a passing jewish bus. fearing for their lives, most of lifta's arab residents fled. none have ever been per

to be a part of history. many times history happens to us, but in this case, you can choose to be a part of it. this is a very historic day and so i'm very, very proud to be here. >> i have been volunteering. last monday i performed 12 different marriage smones. the least amount of time that any of the couples that i married have been together is two years. most of the couples have been together eight, nine, 10, i'd say 70% have been together at least that long if not longer. >> there is a lot of misconception about who gay and lesbian people are. it's important that people see that we love our husbands and wives to be and love our children and have the right to have families just like everyone else. >> it's important that we have experienced our own families, our own friends, and the excitement of the volunteers when we get here has made us feel wonderful and accepted and celebrated. >> there is a lot of city agencies, city departments, divisions that offer up their emoy

against anything else but talk a little bit more about the the big picture here cory doctorow i used to be a full time sort of paid activist who had assigned lives in the arts i wrote novels and then eventually my novel writing other writing got to the point where i could quit my day job and just be a full time participate in the arts or write books these days and so my kind of parochial view of copyright is that it's really important that we have an open marketplace of ideas and that we acknowledge that you know art comes from mixing other art and so on and that used to be the thing that i really focused on what i thought about copyright and the extension of copyright in the expansion of copyright but i've lately come to think about as being just a little parochial for as important as you know our intellectual column and so are the major casualty of extremist copyright positions these days is everything we do on the internet because in the name of rescuing copyright from the internet around the world we're proposing to do things like add censorship to the very fabric of the network so nat

with these budget cuts is 334 people to now -- do not now have a resource center to go to, to not be able to use restrooms at the shelter to be able to rest. if you are in a wheelchair. this is what the budget cut will do. again, it is resident impact. also, staffing impact. you see us at the shelters. we employ 25% of our staff are formerly homeless. we are employing formerly homeless at $12.13 an hour. we will lay off -- we will have to lay off some of our staff. again, these are the working poor, and we ask that they not be penalized by these cuts. finally, the neighborhood impact. again, i say that having the shelter opened, having a place for them to watch tv, to rest, to be with each other instead of being on the street is going to save on police calls, save on emergency calls, and in the long run, save money for the city. again, i plead that we consider these cuts and not make them on the backs of the homeless. thank you. >> good evening. my name is connie ford, and i happen to live in district 5, but many of the members that are represented by union works in soma. i am also vice-presiden

ideas and that we acknowledge that you know art comes from mixing other art and so on and that used to be the thing that i really focused on when i thought about copyright and the extension of copyright and expansion of copyright but i've lately come to think about as being just a little parochial for as important as you know our intellectual commons are the major casualty of extremist copyright positions these days is everything we do on the internet because in the name of rescuing copyright from the internet around the world we're proposing to do things like add censorship to that to the very fabric of the network so nationwide network providers and their major interchange centers are going to have to build in censorship mechanisms where they can identify different websites and block them on a nash. a level you know we've already seen the first inklings of this in national firewalls that are supposed to prevent access to child porn and when we see leaks leaked the swedish child porn filter list which is a secret list of websites that were blocked and so in the name of being child porn t

to be a lot of discussion on that. that other plan, other agreement will help us then to be able to expand and add other policy measures. >> then i would like to move the second amendment. >> item 6, the second eminent? >> this would be to item 11. >> i think we need to do these one by one. is there any public comment on the proposed amendments to item 6? hearing none, let's call the roll. >> for the record, someone will need to move the amendment to items 6 and second it, and then we should vote on its as amended. >> it is moved and seconded as amended. [roll call] 6 ayes, 0 no's. >> next item please. if there are no other amendments, can we do seven through 12 together. >> we were voting that you vote on each item separately by roll call. >> item #7.

what you see here is that there used to be a half -- this is the current half, the current situation now, of automobiles that were using the cloverleaf to cross what would be the bicycle path to get on the highway here analysis shows we can accommodate the traffic pattern in a way that does not necessarily -- also what that says is it actually challenges the lead time. if you are coming off highway one, trying to go east, you are crossing traffic with very short distance getting off and getting onto highway 1. our solution and to eliminate that conflict is to have traffic going left from brother of a way, very simple, very straightforward, no need for a 1940's-style cloverleaf. we have freed up a safe, bicycle and pedestrian path from the corner of project out towards the daly city bart station. by eliminating the cloverleaf, we have three bicycles circulation without a single automobile conflict. that is the example of mitigation measures that our rights plan was able to help us accomplish. so i talked again about breaking down the slope of gated community feeling. look at these inte

to be environmentally sustainable. the third -- it has got to be strategically adaptable, that we can use this plan in a very adaptive way to all the events that happen. finally, another principal reflected in this plan is it has got to be a positive legacy that we leave with the america's cup. by "positive legacy," we mean that whatever we do, whatever we build, whatever we improve has got to beat an improvement that benefits all san franciscans for generations to come. we're looking at the infrastructure we invest in with a future that not only will handle the 200,000 people a day, the millions of people to come here, but it will benefit our city in the long run, and that is the smarter way of doing it. the reason why we are doing it early is because we know transit is already a challenge. even with the myriad of events that we hold today. they are a challenge, and they will be a challenge again this fall when the giants take on the world series. again, it will be a challenge for us, but a positive challenge. one that we welcome. america's cup 34, all of the challenges it presents are all challenges to our city, and it

in the next few years strange as it may seem it's going to be china not the us and we should be ready for this. war on one hand the united states need to stick their satellites into orbit but how much do we depend on p.s. manufactured parts for our carrier rockets let's say we have a little conference in the united states where we'll be able to build carrier rockets on our own. we are absolutely independent russian carrier rockets usually russian made components never and under no circumstances can we have such a situation especially with military rockets where one hundred percent of parts are russian made spacecraft is different and sixty's. seventy or eighty percent of materials used for their construction are foreign made i wish it weren't so but today it's simply impossible to produce everything yourself besides most is an extremely good history literally ceased to exist in the one nine hundred ninety s. it will take a long time to restore it so as far as spacecraft are concerned we should seriously consider this issue we decided that we in the space industr

the yellow area shows where the bay used to be, where the tidal wetlands were. it used to be much bigger than it is today. but siltation from hydraulic gold mining, diking to create salt ponds and duck hunting clubs, garbage dumps along the shore of the bay and frankly land fill operations to create real estate reduced the size of the bay by about a third between 1849 and 1960. that's when the united states army corps of engineers produced this map. it was intended to show that it was economically feasible and, in fact, desirable to fill another 60 percent of the bay. that was their intention. instead, when this map was published it alarmed the public and it motivated them to take action to prevent the bay from becoming little more than a broad river. they didn't like what the corps had predicted. the science fiction writer ray bradbury says the purpose of science fiction isn't to predict the future, it's to prevent the future that's described. i don't think the corps of engineers intended this report to fall into the category of great science fikds, but that's w

i used to be a teacher, so before i gave a lecture, i always had to know what the first paragraph was that i was going to say because that told me what i wanted to accomplish, and it has been hard for me to come up with a paragraph or sentence on this one because i knew i did not have too much time, and there is so much i would like to say about this man, so what i really wanted to say to you is he is the most humble and honorable, the most honest and most comfortable man in his skin that i think i have ever known. i could tell you story after story about him to prove those words. his family is always with them, and they are just the finest family i know. his kids are really special. he leads a life that takes him lots of times from home where he has to go and help the community, and whenever it they can, the family is with him, but he has a partner who supports him, who gives him -- who understands that the life that he is -- the community has thrust him into is one that requires a lot of patience and understanding. i have watched him on the indian health center, and the thing that a

house moving used to be very common in san francisco. i think you once were looking at that as well. is that right? >> well, we saved some earthquake shots. lawrence helped us get the pormeyit to move them. we pulled out the ledger, you know, with like the official city ledgeser of moving houses. there were tons of them. i don't know, at some point it just kind of petered out and somebody moves a house like once every 15 years now. >> so we in our digital age, issue house moving permits once every couple of years. i pull out this little book. it's got a piece of carbon paper in it. you put the carbon in and you write, you know, house moving permit number, you know, 36. you say from here to there. we charge a fee. a very low fee. it's really right out of the turn of the century before. >> yeah, it has that dusty, old-school feeling. >> actually, we maintained that. i tried to maintain this little book. we still do it that way. >> would the post earthquake installation of building codes and building requirements have impacted carville to ex
