[unintelligible] moses to get copies. a lot of people talk, but they never get to walk when it comes to this area. so, here is at least 20. but i have got more. pass it back. you could be looking at it. it is very important that not only you, but the community knows how long it has been since we started with this. it was 1969. it was not the 1970's. it was the 1970's when we talked about an advisory committee and what we wanted because of mitigation expansion discussion of the sewage plant. we have gone through a lot here. the citizens here, the homeowners. promises were made to this community. i do not forget the things that were stated that were going to happen in this community. the funds that were supposed to come back

interest in the wall street journal ties it to the north atlantic business community as well and attention is drawn toward britain naturally because these sort of scandals of corruption and police chiefs resigning aren't supposed to happen in the old western countries these are safe things of other countries but it's happening right in london it's happening right in westminster as we speak. the primary killing solves . this it's you know it's it's an interesting affair and i think also. at the start it wasn't it wasn't very clear how much this would affect cameron but i think it might affect him greatly i think he he behaved in such a way which was which was fantastic in that he was very candid in the way he responded in a way wasn't guilty of anything but the way which he was slowed. to punish course and for what had happened i think this is going to hurt him in the long run they call people called me a couple of colleagues from different russian. sources and seem electorate in britain saying should the really change the law should they will change the law regulating the work of the press

right now, they have our attention. so my commitment to you is going forward, the report that i made. supervisor mirkarimi: certainly the positive direction to be looking forward, but the intermittent review of this over the last 10 years or so has bubbled up where there has been confident declarations, as we look at the newspaper report from the last 10 years, that this will be addressed and taking care of. it is identified between 2004, 2003, 2009. that was made clear by the mayor's office of criminal justice. before it was disbanded. >> i hear your concerns, i echo them. all i can say is you have my and my team's commitment. with dt's help, we are making those changes. supervisor mirkarimi: i am not sure if someone from i.t. has spoken to this subject, but my sense of how this project can work is, there are inextricably rely on each of the other strand and streams of those connected. so i think what makes it a little bit clumsy in the presentation is, it is an holistic design that needs to be completed in order to re

we can bring to your attention the best information. our local newspapers are reduced to trash. we do not get good information. papers likthe huffington post ar publications are doing a better job. we call ourselves a liberal city. supervisors, business is not going to be as usual if you keep dumping millions of millions of dollars, as you did with hunters point, other projects that i could name, but i will not name. in the end, it is left to you all. at one time, being a politician was a respectful career. it is not because of such types of decisions. thank you. commissioner mirkarimi: thank you. any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. next item. >> adjournment. commissioner mirkarimi: have a good rest of the day. meeting is adjourned. >> welcome to culture wire. we're going to take a look at one of the biggest and most significant public art projects today. ♪ on june 26, mayor newsom and other officials gathered at the hospital to cut the ribbon and welcome the public into a beautiful new state-of-the-art facility. >> 3, 2, 1.

span to see that out i think the west is losing as attention span shorter and shorter it gets focused on under massive political consolidation look at what's going on within europe within the euro delaying the inevitable regard to greece and now to to new debt ceilings in italy look at the congressional battles in washington as you can see that the attention span just snaps so i don't think. that a lasting peace will be stabilized and imposed by the european union by need or by the u.s. . and the other thing. if. people within nato if they will decide to go for peace too to work for or for for a treaty between khadafi of the rebels will they let mediators like like south africa for example or russia step in and try to to to to set up an agreement because this would this would discredit the previous policy which was the cause i would think of intially i would think that i believe that that makes sense i know that. president zuma just got into sort of deep raúl with cameron in south africa over this matter and i as i understand you sent your great chess experts to negotiate libya so i m

mostly french activists made the point from the beginning that they were intention was to bring attention to the plight of the palestinian people particularly the people of gaza they said that their intention was peaceful the plan was to arrive today friday and to spend a week particularly in the west bank visiting palestinian families and really giving them a message of hope and encouragement from the international community but of course the attention also needs to be on gaza where since two thousand and seven since the must came to power israel has imposed a blockade and the latest word we hear from humanitarian organizations operating in gaza is that the situation is almost catastrophic we're hearing figures of as much as eighty percent of the population who do not have access to basic necessities the problem is that the israeli authorities heard about this friday and already on thursday they issued the names of three hundred and forty two people that were not and lolled to into this country and they gave those names to foreign airlines and warned them that if they bought those people

when there are a lot of complaints from neighbors, they seem to get more of the attention. commissioner murphy: i think you may have covered it, but i did not understand. what is the policy for buildings with a lot of graffiti? >> that is under the blight ordinance. dpw, that is their purview. there was an ordinance six months prior to the vacant building -- i forget the supervisor -- i think it was mirkarimi. when that ordinance was written, dpw was the lead agency for graffiti blight. we are more in a supporting role. we would be more like the broken windows. commissioner murphy: how about overgrown vacant lots? >> it is in our housing code. we can certainly address it. but the lead agency is usually dpw. we could get health involved in it, if it was deemed to be a health hazard. commissioner murphy: so the complaint would come into you, to dbi first? >> generally, yes, it would start at the third floor as a routine complaint. then it would be routed to the sixth floor, to the building inspector we have assigned to that particular task. >> because we have had a wet spring

like most consumers, i did not pay particular attention to the safety section. out of concern, later, i was able to go online and find a supplemental died for my iphone. looking at the small print i was able to find information telling me i should hold my phone sideways, 1 inch away from my head. i can only use approved clips. i should position the antenna toward my shoulder to limit by exposure. as you can see, this is a lot of information. i urge you to support this new legislation. you have the opportunity to set the bar very high on personal safety. hopefully other cities will follow suit. thank you for your time. >> good morning. i am a local business owner. business is tough. we are trying to bring traffic in. we tried to bring in as much information as possible. we give them as much information as we can about the device, the plan, everything that has to do with the cell phone. one thing that i do not recommend that we do, we are not doctors or scientists. my employees are getting paid $9 an hour. they are not experts in the environmental protection. they
