i have always lived around in richmond area, just being around a unique area of the richmond, discovering san francisco in the 1980's. >> i am hoping we can not support small businesses like this because they are the unique character that makes neighborhoods like this so rich and lively to live in. >> i have also been active as a community organizer. i worked at the chinese progressive association. i also worked at the mental health center in the richmond district. i have always been passionate about civil rights, equality for everyone. i have a 10-year-old daughter, so having a girl has made me much more sensitive to gender equality issues. i guess i have always been vocal about my politics, but as a supervisor, i have to listen to other perspectives and making decisions. >> very soon there will be of much more seniors in that area. we are trying to focus on whether a stop sign or stoplight might help. >> tried to look at issues of senior nutrition programs, alzheimer's research, even housing policies that allowed our buildings to become more senior-friendly. also looking at how to suppo

. >> it's unique. will not see anything like it where you go to compete in the world. competitions in ireland, scotland, norway, japan, russia each year, the facilities here in the park are second to none. there is no complex in the world that can touch it. >> i'm here with bob, and he has kindly agreed to tell me everything i need to know about casting. i'm going to suit up and next, we're in the water. >> what any gentleman should do. golden gate angling has free lessons the second saturday of every month. we have equipment show up on the 9:30 on the second saturday of every month and we'll teach them to fly cast. >> ok. we are in the water. >> let me acquaint you with the fly rod. >> nice to meet you. >> this is the lower grip and the upper grip. this is a reel and a fly line. we are going to use the flex of this rod to fling away. exactly as you moved your hands. >> that's it? >> that's it. >> i'm a natural. >> push both arms forward and snap the lower hand into your tummy. push forward. >> i did gave it a try and had great time but i might need some more practice.

or is this unique to the se? >> i'm not going to say it is unique, because we have targeted this line. i do not want to say it is just 33. we have a concentrated effort on the line. it is a high target area where we see the need for fair enforcement. supervisor cohen: ok. ok, folks. i am done with my questions. supervisor mar: i think we should open this up for public comment. supervisor cohen: i think we should. i would like to call up linda richardson. >> good afternoon, supervisors. thank you for putting this together. i just want to establish there are substantial improvements on the t-line. we attribute that to a substantial improvement in public safety. i think in the last year, supervisor mar mentioned with the killing in hunters point, i think muni has gone beyond the call of duty. i am here today, representing the bayview/hunters point land use committee. supervisor cohen mentioned that we worked very tirelessly. i think the fundamental issues we found have still not been resolved. i think muni actually

we have unique restaurants. we have to keep that, or we lose our competitive a vintage. -- competitive a bandage -- advantage. there are not a lot of small businesses in this area because there are not a lot of employees. this city is unique because of small business. thank you. commissioner clyde: i also want to thank everyone for being here and showing such a great solidarity with this issue and with the small independent stores. the effect of predatory pricing is, and has been demonstrated repeatedly -- one small shops go out of business, then the prices increase and increase. i have some experience with a local safeway that is exponentially higher than other safeway's simply because it does not have any competition in the area at all. this has been happening for years. it continues to happen. there is that time where a community might enjoy lower prices, and that is great, but once those little shops close, then the price goes to what the market will bear, and prices are often higher. in san francisco, with

the application is a little bit unique. this is actually a story store, but they are going to license a small, specific area of the premises, so it will allow people of any age to come into the store, but the area to access alcohol would be restricted to those 21 and older. we are recommending this application for approval. i would point out is not in an area of high crime. is located in an area of undue concentration. we are recommending approval with the following conditions. sales, service, and consumption of beverage shall be permitted between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. each day of the week. next, no noise shall be allowed beyond the area under the control of the licensee. next, loitering. ordering defined as standing idly about, lingering aimlessly without lawful business is prohibited on a property adjacent to licensed premises under the control of the licensee. interior lighting maintained there shall be sufficient to make easily discernible the appearance and conduct of all persons. and patrons in the po

s the locals leave their leaving behind a truly unique part of russia the land of the north of here if they're around it by mountains males and while driving along with no one can run into a courage or if more mark go on doing into the thinner father gulag lap he said girl lived to live hand this monastery the highest situated in russia connex they passed out the presents the church was only build some six years ago but it stands nieto word the dates back to the sixteenth century during the official is celebrations over ten thousand people come here for local christians this place is unique maybe because of association and nobody knows after spending several hours here it really feels like this mountainous area and there is the past with the present and if you listen hard enough you can almost hear the full fathers of a society are singing their songs by the fire they are gods and the republic of the north is that it has also kept the memories of the times when this place was famous because struction office setting defensive towers well there were as of this buildings can still. visine

what is unique about the f.b.i.? >> uniquely the f.b.i. has domestic responsibility, acting under the constitution, the applicable statutes, and the attorney general guidelines to first of all identify those individuals who might be undertaking terrorist threats within the united states along with our state and local law enforcement. the other federal agencies. we also have the responsibility for working with the intelligence agencies to identify threats from overseas that may impact the domestic united states. and to assure that we gather and analyze and disseminate that intelligence and efforts to thwart those attacks. if indeed an attack takes place, quite obviously our responsibility then is to identify those persons responsible for the attack. gather the evidence against them, and pursue the case through indictment, conviction, and incarceration. uniquely we have the responsibility -- broad responsibility domestically fo -- for undertaking this particular aspect of response against international terrorism as well as against domestic t

the uniqueness is that it has this late -- lake. it is really the only place in a large area that is available for people to swim or to have that recreational opportunity. for example, the city has a large reservoir where hetch hetchy is, but that is closed to the public. the city has another dam with the body of water at early intake, which is closed to the public. there is a swimming pool at early intake, which is closed to the public. there used to be a dam on the middle fork when it the boy scouts had a camp, but that is no longer there. so this particular spot, this lake, is the only place. and what my concern also is is that the city, by having a high fee, if that is what its decision is, which for a family of four, i believe, would be $52. again, not 100% sure on that, but i think so. there is also the issue of the difficulty to actually go and use and get a day pass. so not only do you have a high fee, but when, on a saturday -- people may come up on a friday night and then a saturday afternoon to go to get a pass, and it is

this is really unique in san francisco. it is not just a portable housing, but it is affordable housing for people with the lowest or no income. formerly homeless families and individuals. there is also an enormous amount of opportunity for homeless people to gain jobs and job training opportunities. we wanted to acknowledge the work of supervisor kim. her and her staff worked hard over the past few months to make sure all of the goals and the plan that we have worked hard to achieve are going to be real and meaningful. thank you for the work that you did. [applause] and over the years, we have had a really great community partnership with the treasure island development authority. the board has been amazing. they have had the vision of including low income and formerly homeless people from the ground up, from the start, so i want to thank the treasure island development authority for all of their leadership over the years. i also want to thank the director of operations. [applause] really, i know supervisor chu said that i

not unique to the department of technology. i was wondering if this was a serious issue. >> the way we currently do that, to answer your question, you are correct. i think the government has a complex procurement contracting process that is unique from government to government, it was never the same from one city to city or county to city. what we have tried to do, and i know what the office of contract administration has tried to do is be clear with vendors

these are exactly the kind of very unique businesses that make san francisco the diverse city that it is. i also wanted to point out that a few of our loan recipients in the city have also graduated and able to later on success -- access traditional bank financing. two of those have been able to move on to get traditional loans. i would like to really thank the community partners that working solutions works with. we collaborate with organizations like the small business assistance center that -- assistance center, the san francisco small business development center, and pacific community ventures. all of these organizations and more create a network of vital support services and resources for small businesses in san francisco. i would also like to take the opportunity to thank working solutions' staff, board, supporters, and volunteers, who are really a big part of the success that we are celebrating this morning. finally, i would like to thank the city, mayor lee, supervisor wiener, and the small business commission for continuing to prioritize the needs of small businesses. it is m

let's see how unique this is. but they say it is unique because you have to enter the market. >> is it different from life insurance? flood insurance? >> it is not different from flood insurance for anybody who lives near water. and taxes and death are inevitable. we know everyone will eventually die. any time you fail to pay a service provider for a good or service, you are shifting costs. >> that is true insofar as it goes. the additional point is it is not just the youth have cost shifting. the market is unique because unlike a whole bunch of others, virtually everyone will find themselves in the unfortunate position of having to consume health care services. while other people might have to consume food and shelter, they do not involve cost shifting in the same way because here we know the hospital and providers will not and cannot turn away someone knocking at the door with a stroke or a gunshot wound. that is what makes this different. >> there is some moral imperative to provide health care. i agree with th

joining the office on his request, because i think we really have a unique perspective, having worked on the defense side and on policy issues, and i can attest that he is undertaking a wholehearted effort to really bring some reform to the criminal justice system on many fronts, this being one of them that we are evaluating. i hope that you as city and county residents will see in our work that we really take some efforts that will reform. anybody that has participated in the criminal justice system for any length of time knows that it does not work from whatever and will you are looking at it, so the question is how do we make it better? we hope to engage all of you in that. we are starting neighborhood courts, and a lot of efforts that we hope to engage the city and county in supporting us and looking at ways to move away from the over incarceration of people and look at ways to reform their behavior. the efforts we have undertaken when george was appointed to the position -- jeff asked him to come to the public defender's office to have a question and answer session, which he did,

and as result of that we put into unique benefits, 25 years ago.one was comprehensive health insurance for every employ. the other was equity in the form of stock options. we did it even for part-time people. in addition to that there was a fanatical view towards exceeding expectations around the customer experience. and i would say that for 20 years or so that was the foundation of the company. when the company got to thousands of stores and hundreds of thousands of employees, and a p/e and a stock price that was very high, what happened was, and i don't think starbucks is much different than perhaps other public companies, is that the p/e and the stock price began to in a sense intersect into the strategy of the company. and i think what happened was that there wasn't anyone who said we would do this, but what happened was we became complicit with wall street. >> you say in your it wasn't one cataclysmic event. it was a whole combination of different things, but let's go back a bit on wall street. you change in kind of ticked off a number of the

the public defender has a unique and natural role as a messenger. we have more interaction, meaningful interaction come up with the victims of police misconduct and anyone else in government, the media, the criminal justice system, and these are not superficial interactions that we have. we are not their bank tellers. we get into the intimate details of their lives in the course of representing defendants, and we hear their stories, we hear their accounts, we develop a relationship of mutual trust so that we can confide their stories about police misconduct to us. so the rule is really unique. the stories from our clients about police misconduct are commonplace. everything from a disregard for the fourth amendment, theft, perjury, and the stories -- when you hear them over and over -- there becomes a real ring of truth to them, a consistency that makes it impossible for us, as attorneys, hearing the stories to dismiss them out of hand. the videos are not the first time that misconduct has ever happened. they are just the first time for us. let me us
