secondly, there will be an international grain schoolyard conference in the san francisco bay area in september 16 through 18. many of our schools will be featured in that important event. that information is available at greenschoolyard.org. this is the last school board meeting for the year and want to thank my colleagues for training made to getting me up to speed as a member of the school board. i have to say one of the best events i attended this past year was the african-american honor roll celebration during black history month. and that the event was amazing. 1200 african-american students with a 3.0 gpa or better, including two dozen 4.0 students. that event needs funding so i'm hoping that colleagues or listeners, people who are interested in supporting the honor roll event will get in touch with myself or the va marshall. i would like to see that continue strongly. >> thank you. >> i just came back from memphis and i wanted to highlight two sessions that are germane to the sessions we're doing. it is important information for us to have. i have the background information. t

the final ride to the schoolyard and then to the ball. 19-year-old nelly, the rich girl, is going into a stretch limo which cost her parents 400 euros. she's expecting her adult life to be like this. a live band and limousines, fewer and fewer couples are marrying in bulgaria so it only seems appropriate that graduating from school resembles a wedding. the country is mired in a deep economic crisis so who knows when there will be another reason for celebration. >> everyone spends what's needed for their kids to have a great party. so what if the country isn't doing well. it's still o.k. to splash out on a graduation ball. >> recently, bulgarians have had little reason to celebrate because of the economic crisis but graduating from school is a big occasion for everyone. maybe you don't have to overdo it like this. but that's how we are, we party like there's no tomorrow. >> almost a million bulgarians have emigrated in recent years. rosita won't be staying, either. with top marks, she's attending university in france. but today, it's time to have fun. maybe it's better not to think abou

we have put a very comprehensive monitoring system right in that bayview hunters point at 8 schoolyard. we monitored for many toxins. we found the levels in debut -- bayview were no different than anywhere else in san francisco. chairperson campos: having completed the hearing, i was wondering if we could file this item. if we could take that without objection, i want to thank the department of public health for being here. i'm want to thank all the members of the public who have sat through this hearing. i want to thank supervisor cohen. i hope you have a good day. madam clark, can you call items two and three? >> hearing on the budget analyst work plan for 2011. item three, motion directing the budget and legislative analyst to conduct audits in fiscal year 2011 and 2012 to evaluate a city policy to develop affordable housing, oversight of housing development, and governments of city museums and the academy of sciences. -- governments and city oversight of museums and the academy of sciences. chairperson campos: i introduced this. i would like the budget analyst to come up. i see the

players and we desperately needed this where enough we're talking the group who we just had to in the schoolyard that you first. gold rush is a strong side they are on top of the group and still favorites to quote far from first spot they want today which means they were initially bowled in rows we didn't expect them to open this course but they have a decent team in school concerts and i think it was for the better for us as we've been able to treat boys points russia right now heading to austria just in shelves friendly against cameroon. which. archie sent his book. well despite the when it is the republican volunteer at the summit of their greed for the moment after that so you know when in macedonia then it is russia followed by survive and over one zero so this is how the table next to the ball games left ireland stopping the group on going to school the head of russia and slovakia but all three isn't half point six then it is armenia followed by macedonia and or have yet to get any points i mean the top teams from age group is guaranteed a place in the finals second place teams will that.

you didn't have to deal with this at the schoolyard.dealt with it. and house speaker john boehner. their last names -- >> it's tricky. >> little bit tricky. if. >> if you're not familiar, good luck. this is one of the longer running jokes in washington. it kind of got out in the open. the congressional correspondent dinner, it was the end of march. congressman anthony weiner made some jokes about the way house speaker john boehner pronounces his name. take a listen. >> i do the weiner jokes around here, guys. and really who is boehner fooling? am i anthony waner? i'm serious, brother. just embrace it. >> look at everyone laughing. >> there's andrea mitchell. a bunch of people. you were there, i was there. >> no, i was at the white house. >> you were at the white house, okay. so over the weekend -- and now, the shoe goes on the other foot. commencement speech in ohio, speaker boehner, sort of gets the last laugh. listen to this. >> you know, my name looks like beaner, bonner, boner. thank god it's not weiner. >> kind of funny. >> right.

if he gets passed over and he is playing schoolyard ball in a year, probably wasn't that wise. that's why on the surface it's an easy decision. why would i stay in school and get paid nothing, usually, when i could go to the nba and make millions. not everybody makes millions. in fact, many never play in the league at all. maryland's jordan williams is trying to avoid that. jordan phillips auditions for the wizards today. >> not planning on turning pro. >> i was going to go work out and work hard to come back and play for maryland. >> then things changed. he decided to get an agent and forgo his final two seasons. why? >> my confidence built up. i made drastic changes right away and felt it was my time to go. >> leading nation where he was a point scoring rebound grabbing machine wasn't easy. >> woke up one day and said i am going to leave. it was a long process. >> so now that he made the leap, where does he fit in? williams played center in maryland, but he's not going to do that. now he's working on transforming himself into a power forward. here's how. step one, he dropped

an undefeated mixed martial arts fighter is taking on a different fight and this one is in the schoolyard there is a lot going on today. a published report says former senator john edwards rejected a plea deal just before being indicted last friday after the government insisted on a prison sentence of up to six months. under the deal, edwards could have pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor campaign finance law violations in the cover-up of his affair and would have almost certainly kept his law license. >>> president obama and house speaker john boehner are about to hold a golf summit after months of speculation both the white house and specker boehner's office confirmed that the two have a date to play on saturday june 18th. by the way, speaker boehner is considered the much better player. >>> and the us airways plane that made a miracle landing on the hudson river in 2009 could have used a little help from former pilot sully sullenberger yesterday. the plane now en route to an aviation museum got stuck when the flat bed truck tried to turn a corner in new jersey. about after an hour the

president, in many ways the republicans here in washington are acting like schoolyard bullies. and as we know, bullying is a very serious problem in our schools. every educator worth his or her salt will tell you that when you're dealing with a bully, you must not give in to their tactics or tolerate their temper tantrums or allow them to hurt innocent people. you have to deal with them sternly and consistently. you cannot allow them to win by dictating the rules of the game and trampling over everyone else if they don't get their way. mr. president, we have a serious deficit problem that must be solved. no one would deny. but it must be solved in a way that is fair, in a way that calls for shared sacrifice. mr. president, let me conclude by suggesting to you that the american people are concerned about the deficit, but they are also concerned about the economy, and they are also concerned that so many of our people of all ages in all parts of this country are hanging on economically by their fingernails. and the american people understand that it is just not fair, not fair at
