in terms of the first part, leaving out part-timers, the first part is due you have the right number of operators to put in service? the second set of issues that drive up over time is what is going on with the system? i'm not talking about special events, but things like -- one that has caused a lot of overtime, grignard. and the last several months, beginning in the fall, one of the facilities is old and heavily utilized. we are forced to basically moved functions out of there and operate the service while we did emergency made his to the physical plant. we move to thej and the k onto the street and all that resulted in a great deal of operator over time necessary to work around a capital project, similar capital projects at 30th and church. other work which is beneficial to the system. california street has resulted in additional overtime for us. we have a system like ours in terms of the age of the fleet, we have a 10 or 11 year old on average bus fleet. the buses have not had a midlife overhaul. we are doing some things better showing positive results with some of the propositio

they are part of our history, part of our callers, if you will, when we are talking about sports. i think he felt that there was no politics involved. it is something back has a history of being and we want to talk to him about the opportunities we can do together, so look for -- >> with my artists, eight of them are working in tehran, iran, the capital city, and one is an iranian american based in san francisco. the problem is really a collective exploration in the day and the life in tehran. it is the largest city in the middle east. for the gallery, one of the first pieces you see is one piece which is a laser-cut peace, it taken directly from the map of the city itself -- a laser-cut piece. it represents the geography of the city. it is positioned right next to another work by an artist who took a 77 taxicab runs and let the potholes and the city turns of tehran dictate how the city would be portrayed. >> [singing] >> one of the other pieces that to experience in the one-day exhibition is from another artist, a recording of state radio from tehran, and is played for four speak

why do you focus on the poorest parts of the community?when i ran for mayor, people said why should i put my money into that part of town? people say that. and i said you should do it for two reasons. number one, you do it because it's the right thing to do. because there are children growing up in this part of the community that you wouldn't want to have your children grow up. they're growing up in environments they shouldn't growth in america or st. petersburg or anywhere and we need to work on that and work towards changing that and some people would buy into that supplies it is a second reason, too. the second reason is better for you because if right now we are pouring a disproportionate amount of money to public safety and social services and to this part of the community and not getting tax revenues from so if we could fit we would have less service and more revenue helps will be better for you so between those two we have great unanimity in the city and focusing on the internet and we could talk at length about midtown and what we

part of what we do is performance on the part of our company, odc dance, and a third part of what we do is this presenting an incubation stage. when we came to people to talk about the theater as a second investment after having built the dance commons, the distinct purpose of the theater really came through. what we were going to do with our venue was invest deeply in creativity, deeply in our regional artists, and we were going to do something that most mid-size san francisco venues have struggled to do. >> talk to me a little about the group other than odc that have used this space. >> one of the great pleasures in our opening season was to go back and invite two of our former resident artists to launch this space. arab laung was to invite two of the best known -- our launch was to invite two of the best known companies in the city to share in the event, and it was really exceptional. these are companies that i have worked with and the organization has worked with releases they were either newborn or just a few years old, and to go back to that roster and invite two of our really

and then there is an economic part of it. as you know, we have worked hard with the supervisors to make sure that we have amid market change. all of those employees i know -- you are going to see more than 25% of them riding and to work. there will probably be 50% or 60% of the workers we encouraged to locate and beyond big-market. they will be riding to work a lot. we need to expand those lines to make sure we work with it. i know that each of the supervisors will have a minute to say, but before they do, i wanted to welcome also our business partners, people encouraging their employees to ride to work. we have jeff from wells fargo. you are still with us, right? come on out here. we have peter from green apple books. where is peter? peter, come on up here. these are also the employers working with the city, working with our supervisors, all of them, to make sure they do the best enjoying our efforts. even when we do these, it has been public/private partnerships that actually keep and maintain this. i want to be your with e

that is an important part. and then when you look at it from a cultural point of view, particularly in cultures where age commands respect, the person who has the alcohol or drug problem is in a conundrum. because they are an elder, if you're dealing with a tribal context, they are someone who is experienced or who is seen by younger people as a person of great respect, and yet they are struggling with their own alcohol and drug problem. when we're talking about at-risk behavior, we know that it exists among the- and is prevalent among the general population. but when it comes to special populations, it's almost something that people really don't stop to address as much. you know because it's- there's a certain amount- and particularly you mentioned the seniors, there's a certain amount of more freedom now to start dating again, and so i suspect that there's a lot of hiv worries. because hiv, even though we think that it's been taken care of, i think it's showing its ugly head again. you know, our treatment app

we had a number of items that are not part of the budget process budgetper se, -- part of the budget process, per se, but we would like to dispense with those first. >> item 1, resolution approving the issuance of water revenue bonds and water revenue refunding bonds to be issued by the public utilities commission of the city and county of san francisco, affirming covenants contained in the indenture pursuant to which the water revenue bonds are issued, authorizing the taking of appropriate action in connection therewith and related matters. >item two, ordinance approving the issuance and sale of water revenue bonds by the san francisco public utilities commission, not to exceed $49,100,000 to finance improvements to the cuw260 water main, the commission's hetch hetchy water and power system, and the treasure island project pursuant to amend its to the charter of the city and county of san francisco. >> good morning. general manager of the sfpuc. if you would like, we can call one through four and discuss the budget because the idea of how we pay off the bonds is part of the budget d

they are part of our history, part of our callers, if you will, when we are talking about sports. i think he felt that there was no politics involved. it is something back has a history of being and we want to talk to him about the opportunities we can do together, so look for --

part of the key thing for us is the level of staffing. the other thing i would point out in terms of the city contracts is that when people leave, and we have had a lot of people felt in the last couple of years retire and have been incentivize to retire because we have operations on the maintenance side for a number of city-wide contracts, for people with the appropriate security, they are free to go to the port or somewhere else and that process delays our hiring and filling positions and causes us to have to get the work done and do that over time. that is a quick summary of some of the issues that drive some of the overtime. president chiu: after our last hearing on overtime, given the threshold of 30% overtime trigger for our part of human- resources needs to sign off on this, i proposed we reduce that to 20% so that we know exactly how many folks are working at a higher level of overtime. do you have any idea of how many of your workers would fall into that category? >> i want to make sure i understand your question. in terms of cat

of the solution not only part of the problem. >> is there an issue -- >> that's part of it. >> charlie: anything that hamas can do to change that? >> it doesn't want -- ll, ther is some ambiguous message about li with the '67 borders and long term cease fire -- >> charlie: they have said things like when resistance ends, when occupation ends the resistance will end that kind of thing. >> but the occupation to tel aviv and hifa that's the core of the problem. >> charlie: not the west bank. >> it's all of what we call israel. but if the united states were to make any effort to engage hamas, diplomatically even secretly it would be fatal to america's relationship with israel. mean that america would lose whatever -- leverage that it has to push israeli to make hard choices. it would be fatal i think for the palestinians as well because it would legitimize a movement that is inherently apathetical to their -- a pity for president obama's larger themes. on thursday in my view he gave generally a great speech in which he gave his own version of a freedom agenda which was inspiring for egypti

i'm with russian hill neighbors so we're part of district two, part of district three, and we've been blessed with four parks in our neighborhood. and two of them have clubhouses, dimaggio and helen wells. and we have liaisons to the parks. and last monday -- i'm sure -- i think it got to your office by monday afternoon, one of our -- helen wills person showed up to help clean the toys and they weren't allowed in. they lugged up the hill all of their cleaning supplies and got there and were told they couldn't clean the play room for the children because they needed to be fingerprinted. so i understand if you're dealing with children and everything. but the little things, i would really like to see us all work together. everybody on our board and other neighborhood boards around us want to be able to use the clubhouses for other things, to raise money, to get parents' days out there and we have facebook followers on friends of the park, friends of joe dimaggio park. they would be willing to go out there once a month and d.p.w. is great. i think if we can get this done and start it as a

i must say, two-part. my first part is how accurate, if you saw the series -- >> i did. >> sorry. one of the things they brought out in the end i don't know is true, but they said it was what shocked me. i lived in that invasion. and one of the things they said was to the present day they acknowledged one of the mistakes they made was that there was a full moon on the night of the invasion. and i remembered, yeah, that was true. that makes no sense. how could they have done that? they made a big point of that in -- >> yeah, one of the -- on the morning, the cuban ambassadors of the united nations also made the point that there were some spots that day, and some of the cia was so diabolical they arranged these to screw up radio waves or something. i don't know that much about meteorology. it wasn't intentionally done on a moonlit night. anybody else? standing back here in the yellow shirt. >> measurable go into how kennedy change the invasion plan from trinidad to the bay of pigs? >> yes. >> that was pivotal. >> that was pivotal, yes. >> and as far as legs, they rounded up 150,000

or are part of designated historical district. in addition to the examples, they're both a part of local historic districts. in the image of the golden gate park includes individual city landmarks. this is the topic that has been the subject of much controversy. it is the heritage pose a belief that historic designation could be a valuable planning tool had informed decision making and going forward. by providing a comprehensive list of features, landmark status will guide decisions such as clarified where and where not to accommodate local development. we think it is useful to look to the experiences of other cities such as san diego, who york, and developing a model for the department of decision making that segregates projects as a major and minor while only requiring a review of major projects that affect historic features. this model has worked effectively and is a model that is being followed and loss angeles as well. in 2009, notably designated all of the park which is four times the size of the park, a local cultural landm

the setting is part of history. just as the who is part of the why, and so really have to soak up the setting. so when we went to paris, i went there to walk the walk. i went there to see it in the winter when it's awful and damp and cold and gray and in the summer in the spring and the fall. i went to, if i read something that took them 20 minutes to walk from his apartment to his studio, i went over and made the walk from his apartment to the studio to see if that was right. i want to be out there the way emma and others were and feel what they felt. >> that's a bridge? >> yes. a bridge over the season and over the city. it's the oldest bridge in paris, 17th century. the whole -- i think listening, smelling, feeling, what the chair feels like, rubbing your hands on the surface of the cathedral sculptur on the exterior, all of that is getting closer to it. i'm trying, always trying to get close tore those people, close tore that place, closer to that time. and asking questions. i do a lot of, spend a lot of time wi

i think for the most part, there is the lack of understanding on the part of the american public on morecritical role of the public defender. it is laid down in our sixth amendment. we do not teach it properly in primary school education. the public learned of it through the news media and come to some extent, through the entertainment media. most of my colleagues, and it with a bias that is predisposed against the criminal defendant and criminal defense attorney there for. i do not think there are aware of this bias for the most part, but i'm speaking from my own anecdotal experience. my reason to get into the business is to counter that bias. i came from a car rear as a criminal defense attorney. the bis filters into the programming, reporting, coverage of cases. most of the cases do not have a camera present. even when the camera is present, it cannot entirely help to filter of bias. how many of you can sit at home and watch the robert blake trial from gavel-to-gavel, even if it is televised? when the camera is not present, you must rely on the boarding -- the reporting. i have had ma

and even as part of the bay bridge project, minimal improvements were proposed as part of the project. alternative 2about. in the diagram, the reconstruction of the westbound offramp is the off ramp in blue. in essence, as you're heading into san francisco on the east side of the island, the off ramp would be on the right side. you would go ahead and get off the off ramp and be able to go left or right. the project also proposes to reconstruct the westbound on ramp. and that is in the color orange. so in essence of what's called a hook-type on ramp where would you proceed on to the ramp and then merge on to the highway before the tunnel. it's important to recognize that as part of this alternative, we do have impacts to the historic district. mean particular, to what are considered building 267 which would have to be relocated as part of this alternative. alternative 4 is more costly. and after various considerations, the reconstruction of the westbound off ramp once again would be in the color blue, it would come off on the right side but be a little further to the east. and the reco

it was part of life, part of what you were expected to do.umner's story is so arresting. >> massachusetts? >> massachusetts senator, senator charles sumner, one of the most important figures of 19th century america in that he was the most powerful voice for abolition in the senate. he was nearly beaten to death on the floor of the senate weather -- with a a heavy walking stick by a senator from south carolina who was offended by what he said. he went to harvard law school, practiced for three years and decided i don't know enough. my education is not sufficient. i want to know more. i want to learn more. i'm going to go to paris. so he borrowed $3,000 from friends, closed up his office, and he went over. to the sorbonne. attending lectures, and all classes. >> in french? >> in french. everything was in french. he did not know how to speak french and so he had to learn it. he organized tutors, and in about a month he was able to do it. the undaunted courage was inspiring. he attended the lectures, and he kept a journal. the journal is fabulous

[applause] mayor lee: thank you. thank you very much. welcome to the people's hall in san francisco. i want to first of all say -- i have always wanted to say this. the commissioner is such a wonderful person, and she has been our commissioner on immigrant rights commission, but you could see her when we walked in. she was hustling around getting everybody settled, doing what we needed to do to have a successful event, but she has been a wonderful adviser to me for so many years and a great asset to the city. i want to give you a round of a free shares applause. -- appreciative applause. thank you so much. it is my personal pleasure to welcome all of you here to celebrate nowruz. this has been something that supervisor mirkarimi and i talked

today's are in store fronts is part of that initiative -- art in storefronts is part of that initiative. i hope you all picked up one of these fabulous programs that were printed up today because it gives you a map. it also gives you coupons and identifies all of the artists participating in the artery project and the art in store front program, and i want to thank "the examiner" for printing this up and distributing it to the entire city today. [applause] we have some great partners in the artery project. we are standing here in front of the new home of the home for the arts -- the home of the arts gallery. plaza -- [applause] they have been fabulous partners with us throughout the whole artery project. tonight, there's a recession and an opening, and we encourage you to visit and sit down with them -- there's a recession and an opening. down at the plaza, you can see two magnificent sculptures. [applause] while you dance with the space cowboy dj collective. [applause] so there is an incentive to work our way down market street today. some of the local merchants are staying open late f

special events are part of the budgeting process. we probably do a little better at tracking that and mr. mason and mr. paley can speak to how they handle special events coverage. -- mr. haley can speak to that. our fleet of facilities are in the latter part of their life cycle and require a lot of maintenance attention. i did not put this into the key consideration, but some of our labor contracts until recently, they were scheduled monday through friday, but we need electrician's available, so they are working on weekends to provide service and that is being changed and we had a workweek monday through friday even though we had a 24/7 service delivery. we're trying to chew up our contracts to make sure we have a service delivery that is much more than monday through friday schedule. supervisor farrell: a lot of this is referring back to labor contracts and i guess -- why are we referring to those in the first place when electricians on the weekends since muni has been around. why won't -- why words those discussed before? it seems

of it or that part of it, but if both parts thought this was something we needed to do, i do not think either side will have to worry about political fallout next year. >> on medicare, do you favor the premium support plan for medicare, or do you favor some kind of other change to curb the growth of maymedicare? >> i'm not going to tell you what i think we should do in here. i expect that to come out of the discussions going on with the vice president. >> speaker boehner said he is only going to allow the debt ceiling will vote if the cuts are more than the debt ceiling rate. they are only at one trillion dollars now. >> you ask me to put a number on it earlier. i am not going to put a number on it. i have a sense of what i think is significant, and i'm not going to get more specific than what i told you. i think we need a top line for 2012 and 2013 that continues to push discretionary spending downward, and we need significant entitlement reform, but i'm not going to put in any numbers. i'm not going to put a number on it for myself. i am just telling you what it would take to get my

the first as the initial improvement provided as part of the infrastructure. this will happen in an incremental manner, and it is contained in a couple of parts. we will accommodate up to 36 inches of sea level rise plus an additional 6 inches. we will also be elevating and retrofiting the entire perimeter of the island to account for sea level rise up to 16 inches. this is important because it balances the mandates to maximize public access to the shore line and providing our reasonable level of flood protection. as i mentioned, the development area is anywhere from 200 pager 350 feet, -- 200 pager 350 feet. the final -- 200 to 350 feet. the final is to fund the capital as well as maintenance costs, so all of these will be delivered at no cost to the puc or at no cost to the general funds or tax base. a sea level rise up to 16 inches. the storm drainage system will remain trained. once we get to 16 inches, the shoreline will be raised to prevent a problem. and now they will be maintained. above 36 inches, the entire shoreline a dish and will act as a levy. i

we have people coming from southern part of the state to the northern part of the state. to help out. everywhere you go, we have volunteers. we probably have more volunteers than we actually need. but that's a great sign and what it shows is the people of alabama care about each other. that's why i love being the governor of this state because we love each other. i told the president that the other day. >> schieffer: we want to wish everybody down there the very best. as they say down there in that part of the country, roll tide. >> thank you. >> schieffer: in this year when there seems to be no end to the glut of news, the reports out of libya this morning are that nato air strikes struck the house of one of moammar qaddafi's sons. the associated press is quoting members of qaddafi's government as saying that qaddafi's son and three of qaddafi's grandchildren were killed. joining us to talk about that is one of the key members of the senate armed services committee john mccain who is just back from libya. number one, do you have confirmation yet, senator, that indeed one

people part routine people off as part of the business model real story it's quite chilling that the charge of the b. is true and unfair deceptive and if you say abusive practices that it appears that apparently it's probably franken brad miller would say congressmen who are on the house banking committee but these are central to the value proposition of the banking industry and that's they can't be upset the course publicly but they've marshaled every lobbyist they can find to emasculate the consumer product consumer financial product agency and they are. very worried that this soccer mom from oklahoma who happens to go to harvard law professor will actually do her job as opposed to the other regulators who apparently have been captured by the banking industry tragically. first of all to what extent could the obama administration prevent that from happening right now well they could some of us believe that the regulators had the power. all along to arrest the kind of practice is that led to the financial catastrophe we're learning from the financial crisis inquiry commission for exa
