we've seen lots of layoffs there.ut this technological revolution that is silicon valley is so important because once that really starts taking hold, then a lot of other things start happening as that technology is utilized in other industries in order to create more jobs. >> we have to get back to something very local. that's the america's cup. is it going to fulfill its promise? >> well, it could. at the moment, this is probably better called the larry ellison cup because he's pretty much financing it. he would like to get a lot more money and they are having trouble marketing. they've changed their marketing people. the san francisco planning commission did unanimously agree to the eir which will end up either on the soups to being approved for san francisco or in the courts where people will challenge it, but the point is this will be a seminal event and what it will do if it happens and happens well is it will show off the bay area to a worldwide audience, many of which will want to come here and visit, and that

there are lots of good uses for that lot. one program jon at-bat specifically and has some nice ideas. -- one program looked at that. they are a real opportunity site for a major development that is done completely absent a form to plan review, a revision of an existing plant, a real understanding that if we do this, how does it play out in the long term with the san francisco long term goals and objectives? it does, this policy of looking at single projects and justifying them, because of the tremendous architectural benefit -- there is immense environmental benefit, often stated very clearly and documented, it means that as citizens, we really do not know what an area plan means anymore. it means we do not really have a lot of confidence in a planning commission that recommends a zoning is an reasonings -- that recommends zonings and rezonings -- that provide some benefit to the city. maybe they do, and that is good, but let's look at it in part as a revision and understand the ramifications of the project in a bigger scope

and pat, who has a lot of knowledge and brought to be sure today a lot of [inaudible] , and she can shareith that -- she can share that with us as well, and we only regret that harvey the wonder dog could not be here. we talked about [inaudible] what area, generally, are we talking about? >> the term came from what was called the pueblo land when the san francisco peninsula was switched over from mexican ownership to american ownership. certain tracts were preserved, so there was a more orderly, even though it took decades, transfer of ownership of those lands, but there were also what were called pueblo lands, which were sort of a poem by the town, and then, there was a whole lot of discussion about what should happen to those -- which were sort of zero and -- sort of owned by the town. >> so was san francisco's bordered upon at the time, or did that happen later? >> san mateo county did not exist when they originally chartered it. i think there were 16 counties, and a few years later, they said they were too large, so they doubled back and created san mateo county. >> this is an early m

it was a lot of folk music, blues and early on. fell in love with the sound of the steel string guitar. there are a lot of idiomatic thing that it does well. i studied classic guitar a bit, but the steel string, for example, we do something called a hammer on and pull off, which is -- >> you get three note for the price of one. >> you plug the string but you get four notes. i always think of that town at the the prototypical steel string guitar sound. british isles, a caltech music. i learned all the paul simon songs. as i got older -- >> he is a hell of a guitarist. people do not realize. he is not flashy, but if you try to learn his tunes, they are really hard. >> he is a brilliant guitar player. i eventually got interested in jazz, world music, everything. maybe that is one of the reasons. i enjoyed so many kinds of music, i did not have a preference. i did not want to be anything in particular. i just wanted to play guitar and get that sound that i was hearing in my head. >> is there a particular song of yours that you can trac

so she does go through a lot of that and i think today, there's a lot of that now. i mean, there's a lot of anger. there's matt's quote. there's all of this stuff that we know has been imposed upon the economy, on the conditions of this country by virtue of criminal activity. by virtue of fraud, by virtue of inflating the value of things that shouldn't be inflated and what we're seeing right now is no different. the details might be different but the mechanisms, the people are all the same really. they're just, you know, like nancy is here instead of her grandfather, you know, it's like jamie diamond is here instead of jack morgan. but in a worse way. and i think that's also the impetus for learning from our past and hoping that, you know, maybe we can bring the good parts of what happened in that past forward because not all of the bankers at this time got what they should have gotten. none of them were actually arrested. none of them were actually tried for securities fraud or anything like that at the time. but -- which is very familiar which i know matt will tal

you knock on a lot of doors, talk to a lot of people. some of the things were interesting, how connected a lot of people were to their schools, communities. people were involved in their communities in some many ways. we have neighborhood organizations. there are so many people actively involved in the communities, neighborhoods, our organizations, child care facilities, relationships with seniors, at the park. that was something exciting to see. there were multiple ways for people to be involved as residents and members of the city. i was stunned by just how many artists were in district 11. there are so many artists who are doing incredible work that do not have a venue within their districts to show their artwork. it inspired me and my office to sponsor artwork events, culture events. now we are starting an arts committee to get more funding, having the community be a part of deciding what kinds of parts we want to show. that was one idea that i learned from campaigning. >> what kind of art? >> you name it. we have people who make the

of, for a lot of folks. but it does, um, it does provide a little bit more oversight. >> well, thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. >> the c-span campaign 2012 bus visits communities across the country. to follow the bus' travels, visit www.c-span.org/bus. >> it's authors' night at the national press club. several different authors are here selling their books to support charity. and one of those authors is jeremy men ben-ami. booktv has covered his book, "a new voice for israel." mr. ben-ami, first of all, what is j street? >> j street is the pro-israel, pro-peace lobby. we're a new organization, about three years old, and we press for american engagement to help achieve middle east peace. >> how do you stand compared to aipac? >> we're a part of the jewish community that believes that peace and a go-state -- two-state solution would be in israel's and the united states' best interests and we want to see the president do more, not less, to help achieve peace. >> host: so what is the new voice for

there's a lot of smoke in the area and a lot of activity there as you can see, a number of water trucksa couple of ladder trucks. quite a few apparatus. so we'll keep an eye on that. but that's down in menlo park right now where a fire is burning. we'll take a better look. it's hard to get a grip -- [ indiscernible ] [ no microphone ] >> very dark in menlo park but there's a lot of smoke and if you can see, looks like the chopper putting up some light there a lot of the apparatus shining a red light and you can see the smoke on the street. we don't know if this is a house or not but it looks like it must be. it is a house we have just confirmed. it is a house fire. you can see flames there now that are ongoing. >> off the road a little bit though so it looks like they had to hike in a little bit to get at it. but we'll keep an eye on that. some breaking new menlo park burning in menlo park and a number of trucks on hand and firemen. >>> the he entrances at the port of oakland just opened about 10 minutes ago. gil diaz our reporter at the port says that unlike last night, which these are

it takes a lot of training, a lot of work. there are a lot of skill sets involved when i am first introduced to a new area. to get off at an unfamiliar bus stop for the first time and to do it unintentionally -- it can be a really disorienting experience. >> i think there is a sense that it is ok, that person is going to find their way, and did they do not know where they are, you are potentially putting them in a seriously dangerous situation. >> i always appreciate when the drivers are proactive in asking questions like, "where do you want to get off?" i appreciate when they help find a seat for me. i also appreciate when everything is working properly as far as the voice announcement system. they make sure that it is turned on, that it is loud enough for everyone to hear, not turned down so low that it helps no one. >> excuse me, driver, what stocks are we at? can you remind me when we get to venice and broadway? thanks. >> what we're talking about here is full participation and inclusion. i want to be able to lead a full l

tell us about the cage lot. >> the cage lot is a huge, it's a huge parking lot where a lot of commutersd residents. so that's just around, right past mccombes, so i'm guessing he went down the street. megyn: what's mccombes? >> it's the finance facility we have -- fitness facility we have here. megyn: okay. and what's the scene as you sit off campus, but nearby, what is the scene there at your home and out and around, about your home? >> it doesn't seem like too much is going on around here. obviously, we're all staying indoors, underneath -- not taking any extra risks. nothing else is really going on around downtown much. megyn: and our information is that there have been three alerts, one saying gunshots reported, stay inside, secure your doors, call 911 if you need help, then another telling you what the suspect looked like, and another saying that he remains at large and talking about a police officer being shot. are those the three you've receiverred? >> yes. and a description of the shooter. megyn: and is there any discussion about who that might be? >> no clue at all. megyn: no i

a lot of flat rate, which does not encourage turnover. a lot of it is cash only. there will be an ongoing effort for many years to start to address this. we have raised it as a policy issue for the plan. it will take a lot of negotiation with the committed to advance. -- what the community to advance. finally, the request from the community, requesting a prohibition of adult entertainment uses similar to what exists in jackson square up the street, and in line with the policy changes across san francisco where the ground floor adds to be pedestrian experience, we are asking for an additional 5 feet that could only be used on the ground floor, 1 foot additional for every 5 feet on the ground, for a maximum of 5 feet. the next epps, we're working feverishly to get jefferson street ready to go to document construction at dtw, and move rapidly through the implementation process including the identification of final funding. in the spring of 2012, come back and bring zoning and design guidelines for further consideration. thank you very much. president olague: thank yo

it makes a lot of sense. a lot of small changes, and we think it is a welcomed step forward for a more sensible use of are very scarce -- very scarce land. we love the incentive for on- site affordable housing. and we like how it emphasizes alternative the te transportati and of a clear sense of where the direction of things are going, it reduces emphasis on private audits. it is inescapable that is where cities are going. we also love the changes that have been made to allow grandfathering. we saw projects we like that were good. i think it is fair that they be allowed to go under the old rules. we think this is pointing a good direction for the city. i think supervisor chiu and tom should be commended for the work they do. we would call, all, which is a term of esteem and height approval for someone who takes the planning code and gets in and works with it. we like where it is going. >> good morning, commissioners. we represent priority parking. again, party parking -- priority parking strongly object the p

and there's ab awful lot -- an awful lot of them, about 215 million first generation migrants, obviously many more if you count their children. so if they were a country, they would be the world's fifth largest and probably most dynamic. and the nature of migration has changed profoundly, um, in the past generation or so. it used to be that immigrants would get on a boat, and they'd sail from one place to another, and they'd settle there, and they'd really lose touch with the places that they came from. because, you know, back in the old days the transatlantic telephone call would cost, you know, more than a month's wages, and an airplane ticket was impossible. but now, you know, they get on a plane, they land, and as soon as the plane hits the tarmac, they text their mothers back in the place where they came from. and so communication is just much, much easier than it used to be. um, and immigrants stay in touch with the places that they came from. and that means that they form networks, and that has profound effect for business, for economics, for science and even for politics. >> host

and then i crashed, really badly, and a lot of it for me was mixed up with drugs and alcohol. i slipped into such a state of total and utter depression and despair that i didn't know what day it was, i didn't shower, i didn't change my clothes. i didn't really eat, i stopped going to school, stopped doing work, stopped going outside, stopped talking to people. every time i'd try to watch the television, i was convinced the world was ending, and i would run out of the room screaming, and shake, and hide in the corner. when i started to interface with the mental health profession and be given diagnoses and medications to contain that fire inside of me, it both felt like a huge relief and like it had the power to extinguish that fire, which was terrifying. no one ever told me before i started taking zyprexa or lithium, that if i stopped it, i would have severe withdrawal and psychotic symptoms. but it actually turns out that a lot of these medications, when you stop taking them, trigger in you the withdrawal symptoms that look like the craziness. a lot of people get put on meds a

if you have ever been in parking lot where there are a lot of laborers and trying to get work, it can be very chaotic, very, very dangerous. traffic comes to a screeching halt and you have all kinds of people rushing on the car. this system stinded to stop that. that's where their focus is. obviously there is a trust factor involved and informational and communication factor as well. they have a lot of work ahead of them. >> communication will be important to get the word out. thanks so much, megan mcgrath. >>> turning to the weather out there, gray and chilly right now. tom kierein joins us with the first forecast. hey, tom. >> hey, barbara. good morning. we had a little bit of shine this morning but since then it has been all cloudy. we had quite a bit of fog, too, around the chesapeake bay and as well as around the northern neck of the eastern shore. lot of that fog now is slowly dissipating. there is still some rather dense fog around the eastern shore and lower part of the bay. temperatures there in the low and mid 50s. closer to washington, right now under the clouds we are in t

so there was a lot, there was a lot to work with there when it came to nuclear weapons. so it was almost, in a sense, a no-brainer. this is an issue we must talk about, especially given the atmosphere, the fear that people still had about the prospect for a nuclear war with the soviet union. that election was played out less than two years after the cuban missile crisis when i think most people in the world thought that we were on the brink of nuclear war, and the united states and russia, nuclear annihilation. so there was a lot of fear about the impact of nuclear war, potential war between the u.s. and soviet union. there was the whole fear of the impact of nuclear fallout from the testing that the united states and the sow -- soviet union were doing, atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons, and there had been a nuclear weapon treaty passed. so there was a lot of fear about nuclear war. and while not the only issue, it was a very big and overriding issue that played out in american politics for the years leading up. goldwater didn't respond immediately. he waited, he wa

parking lots. those are proposed under this legislation as a non-permitted use. today, they are permitted use. it is proposed to be non- permitted. that would be for an intimate -- interim five-year time, there would be an allowance for that use to continue. at the end of the five years, that use would be terminated. port staff has raised to the planning department the concerns around the prohibition of that use. we're not trying to keep parking lots forever here. but until they can be developed to a higher and better use for the waterfront plan, they are a very important financial basis of the ports portfolio if not a land use purpose. i know some would debate the merits of parking itself. in particular, they generate over $4 million a year in revenue. the notion of being able to just terminate that use after five years with no clear indication of the next use and whether it could replace that financial purpose, we have applied that as a problem. for waterfront developments overall, we are trying

there's a lot of shellfish and fish in this dish. for this recipe we use clams and mussels, seabass, carrots, celery and onions. the base of so many sauces. sliced cherry tomatoes next. then it's time for the seafood. it goes in according to how long each will take to cook. starting with clams, then mussels. it's important, they have to open up. if they're closed, you don't want them. a generous splash of white wine helps to steam them open with lots of flavor. then add the rest of the seafood, scallops, shrimp and fish. add some seasoning and water then cover the pot and let it finish cooking. give it all a good mix to make sure everything cooks evenly. to finish, put in a dish and cover with dough. cook it until it's brown in the oven. i'm tony tantillo and this is tony's table. it's incredible. >> i'm hungry. >> like that. >> incredible. >> bet it is. >> i would eat that. >> yeah. so would i.

i wonder if we should not apply to city parking lot as well -- lots as well. supervisor kim: i wondered if you had any thoughts around staggered parking. >> it is a good idea. one of the problems is we have everyone pouring out of the bars at 2:00 a.m. and different groups of people intermingling and there is potential for conflict. i think having staggered exit times would be a great idea. also, late-night restaurants are great idea. i would like to see more of those. it is a great place for people to go and sober up a little bit before going home. i think having options that don't have everyone trying to pour out and leave these venues at 2:00 a.m. is a idea. supervisor kim: several other folks have brought up the idea. it is not a permit issue. if there are restaurants near entertainment venues or other ways the commission could do l ration what we could do about late-night dining. i appreciate that. thank you. seeing no other further questions. we will call up steven lee. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i come to -- before you to offer my personal time and

shoots out here and here, so it cleans the ball really well as it flushes. >> there are lots and lots of brands. this is just one brand. these are manufactured in japan? >> these are manufactured all over the world. they have two factories in georgia and then factories all around the world. >> what are the differences between these different kind of toilets? >> we have the 1.28, which is what all the manufacturers are doing now to conserve water. this is a siphon flush with a larger water surface area, much more conventional american type of toilet. it has been used around the world for many years as a water- conserving light of flushing. it has a small water surface area and is a wash down type of toilet. some americans are not happy that they might have to clean the sides of the ball more. then, we have the high end totally automated toilet as you were already noticing. when you walk up to it, it will sense that you are there and it will open up. it has another green feature, which washes you. it saves you on toilet paper. a roll of toilet paper can take as much as 28 gallons to be

it was a lot. i know we were the first lender -- i do not know, historically -- mark, maybe you can help me. wells fargo is the largest in dollar amount by the country and in california, and bay area. we are trying to do our part. we are easy to work with. i have been doing this for four years now. i am pretty good where i can look of something and realize if we can help you out. if we cannot, i look for the micro guys to help me out with the smaller loans. it is a collateral loan that we cannot do, i do what i can. we are here to lend. >> thank you. hopefully, people have their question cards. i am going to open it up to the audience. if you have written a question down, please give it to us so we can start compiling them. if i see a repeat questions, it will help to expedite the process, answering those questions that people want answered. we have some of the best and brightest minds here. don't be shy. if you could do us a favor and use the microphone so that everyone can hear your question. >>

there were a lot of bad calls that night. but i'd like to say that when we first called florida for al gore, i got a call instantly from the bush white house down in texas and from karl rove who went on the air and said, that's not what we're hearing down there and i have a high regard for karl rove's ability to count votes and lay the ground on aelects day going into that night and i turned to tim russert, my late and beloved colleague and said, we have a problem here, i think, and they began to do the double-check, i think, and we were into a long, difficult process that winds up in the u.s. supreme court and i had never been through anything like that before and i hope never to go through it again and, by the way, to be perfectly walkish for a moment, i think it cries out for election reform in this country. and it's uneven rules from state to state to state and if nothing else we should have faith in the integrity of our election system. >> i completely agree. let's turn to barack obama. how good of a president do you thi

because it raised a lot of headlines, a lot of controversy.ce then more states have endorsed same-sex marriage. it's becoming much less of a prohibitive kind of issue than it used to be. what's your view now? >> you know, piers, it really never changes because mine's based out of the scripture. that's what i believe that the scripture says, that homosexuality is a sin. so, you know, i believed it before and i still believe it now. again, i would just reiterate what i said. i'm not after -- i'm not mad at anybody. i don't dislike anybody. but, you know, respecting my faith and believing, you know, in what the scripture says, that's the best way i can interpret it. >> but, i mean, shouldn't the stripture be dragged kicking and screaming into the modern age? we were talking before the break about the issue of eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. not everything in the scriptures really is in my view conducive to modern life. i mean, like everything else, doesn't it have to move with the times? and isn't it down, again, to people like you to interpre

i've learned a lot of tricks to get past a lot of their defenses.re's only so many tricks you can use, though. they're going to overwhelm you. if they tell you to back up to the door and if you back up, you're a bitch. i've never backed up yet. >> take him down! take him down! >> all right. >> back out a little. give him some time. keep him down. keep him down. keep him down. >> it's not too late. let's get some cuffs on him. get some cuffs on him. >> knocked four of my teeth out. >> this incident cost hiatt an additional 305 days of disciplinary segregation. but even this extra time doesn't deter him from assaulting staff. in 2004, the convicted murderer stabbed correctional officer milton madden. >> we were on the walk feeding the inmates, and we went back later to retrieve the food trays, and as he handed me the tray, i went to reach for it, he jerked it back, and tried to stab me with a piece of fence wire that had been gotten off the yard. and when he pulled the food tray back, well, i jumped back, but he still was able to stab me a little bit.

can do a lot, should do a lot. but needs to bring in the private sector. as we heard not a new concept near san francisco. wasn't a new concept in boston. but let me tell you for a lot of places that is a new concept. to bring in the private sector as a key member of the team. what they can bring to the table, what they have brought to the table and what they will bring to the table. i was a little surprised when i got to fema and the first major incident that i had the opportunity to experience tpwhuzz haiti and it was an unusual response to fema. we usually don't respond out of the country. and we did. and i was in the national response coordination center. and craig is off at the white house doing stuff, so they had pow would you and said where is the private sector folks? it's, like, they are not here. what do you mean they are not here? they were not part of our team in the nrcc. i was shocked. it would be an understatement to say i was shocked. we fixed that in a few months where as now we have a private sector representative not only during time of

but, they have a lot more work to do. it is $2 billion and they want you and me to pay 90% of that. >> belva: pg & e made an announcement this week. tell us what they said. >> they admitted in court liability for the explosion. we know and i have reported and others have reported they put the pipe in the ground in 1956. it one some third party contractor. they did it, but the judge asked them, they filed the paperwork and they have admitted it. some lawyers are saying the way they did it still leaves them some loopholes so they can maybe blame the manufacturer of the pipe or something like that. >> but they would never do that. >> never. i they will you, though, they are facing -- they have 100 lawsuits and maybe a billion dollars or more. >>. >> belva: more to come on that. thank you, paul. thanks to all of you for joining me here tonight. >>> this week, san francisco hosted two major climate science gatherings. one led by governor jerry brown and another by the united nation. climate watch senior editor craig miller rep

>>guest: well, ron paul does resonate a lot with a lot of pro live social conservatives in addition toy representative of a large group of people that are also wary of an aggressive foreign policy. on the other hand, he has thought been able to demonstrate why he should be president. that is, what kind of successful organizational manager he has been. he has a very poor record on that, in fact, because a lot of discussion has centered on newsletters that he put out, that he didn't keep close cry on that included a lost racist remarks, a lot of problematic were statements he did not keep an try on and he has come out and said well i had nothing to do with this but he should have been paying more attention to it and that attention to details is what voters want. >> the importance of or the cloud, even of iowa and new hampshire and presidential election has waned, and i suppose if you look at it that way, is it fair to say that some of the other candidates, romney, and newt, would not be worried if ron paul, say, won in iowa and new hampshire? >>guest: well, we are at a weird cycle. flori

a lot to pay attention. most of all, i'm always interested in what grows up out of main street america, how this country defines itself much more from the ground up than from the top down. >> now, i've managed to let you off the hook about the five great women, loves of your life. i want to definitely get into that after the final break. let you sweat a bit more. >>> back now with ply special guest, tom brokaw, author of "the time of our lives." time to get stuck into great loves of your life. i am, of course, referring to your wife of many years, to your three beautiful daughters, and also to your remarkable mother who died very recently, a grand age, i think 93 or 4, a remarkable life and career. tell me about these women. they say behind every great man is an even greater woman. you've had more their your fair share. >> i'm a failed member -- a flawed member of the male species but surrounded by all of these awesome women and they have had a profound effect on my life. we just did lose my mother, and we'r

of that on both sides a lot of republicans he's running as a as a republican candidate but a lot of conservatives that are be humanly. posed to him. you know but ron paul if you look at what he advocates things that you hear from him over and over again going back to the constitution freedoms civil liberties are these all words that conservatives love yes and you know that dead to the phenomenon of the tea party itself and the conservative groundswell in this country originated from him maybe twenty years ago i mean he's a purist libertarian very conservative member of congress but he has always been that way and very consistent in his answer to this point as well thank you so much for weighing in on all of this that was director of grassroots political consulting danielle. welcome log patriotism and the of the voters ability to choose the best candidate be our next man who will determine if americans lack of knowledge will lead to a poorly chosen leader when we come back. to the police. but what will test the but nobody seems to know. but never a pepper sprayed the face of the argu

there are lots of good uses for that lot. one program jon at-bat specifically and has some nice ideas. -- one program looked at that. they are a real opportunity site for a major development that is done completely absent a form to plan review, a revision of an existing plant, a real understanding that if we do this, how does it play out in the long term with the san francisco long term goals and objectives?

we need a lot of nngs in this industry.e need standards for responsible behavior, education, ability to take a rest or go to the doctor. all dogs identified with a walker's tag and owner's tag so we can get strays back to the people they are with. are we done now? >> yes. thank you. i will note, i don't know if you were here in the beginning, in the amendments, i am proposing one of them that to make it on the website, you have to have a violation three times in a 12-month period. anyone can violate it out of minor injure, and we are trying to get a-- minor negligence, and we are trying to get away from that. >> there are people walking dogs without any identification and other safety issues for the dogs, like how to properly restrain dogs in cars. they are being tied down in ways not safe. >> thank you. are you mar e.r.a.? >> no. i am julia frank. here is my card. >> let me call mar ya taylor, suzanne emmett to speak after you. go ahead. >> one of the things i wanted to talk about was the vehicles, they said about having t

as you heard before, a lot of the walkers -- evidently not all of them, but a lot of them need flexibility where their client can call up and say can you come today, or not today and come tomorrow. that is going to eliminate some slots. my dogs can't go out five or six days a week to hold that slot. you have heard that dog walkers take other dogs from their grooms. if there is an emergency that arises, what are they going to do if somebody gets sick, and they need seven dogs spread around and the other walkers won't be able to accommodate that? those are issues i see. secondly, i don't see a direct correlation between park safety and the number of dogs that a dalk walker brings in. i think there are other factors, the controllability of a group, the size and age of the dogs, the obedience that the dogs have been trained with before, and the training that the dog walkers has. when a dog walker goes in, i have seen a walker with four dogs who were completely out of control, and the walker had absolutely no sensibility with the group. and walkers that walk in with 12 dogs and the dogs are rig

afghanistan where lots of rock or a lot of the south a lot of practice is state department cables they are not the thing that. the big most overcame that they are right behind this is that we could be strong and people passed by that we could be struck which is an art installation here we're going to showcase when you meet and they always have a comment like oh i want to that's really what you think going to get to the point conversation and you learn that most everyone here has heard that we can be pretty safe and if you want to go because you want to say do we live in a post wiki leaks world they would say ha they'd say definitely so it seems like we could be somehow the stoat some dignity back upon the people by really showing that we are in the world through the use of technology no longer we're just in the street just screaming into the void screaming it was building but when we go along we can use our information resources to accomplish the crushing trial and state authority in a real meaningful way that's what we could be showed us and that's their legacy right now and that's th

a lot of family leaves, -- a lot of families leave. we stuck around, but it was a turning point decision to say, all right, we are here from -- we're here for good. what can we do to make this place better? getting involved in politics was the fact that the seed was open for election for the first time in a long time. it was previously mayor newsom's seat and supervisor alioto- pier's seat. i did not get into politics because i had a lifelong ambition of being a politician. that is not me. i came from a private sector, and looking at honestly answering the question -- did i have something different to offer that i thought would be valuable to sanford's is go right now? i do think a large part of our problems in the city are financial, economic. with my background, i did think i would be able to add a lot of value, and that is why i decided to get into politics. >> where do you place yourself on the political spectrum? >> i have to say, i'm one that has been trying to get away from the political spectrum dialogue in san francisco. i wou

in terms of the flatwork, i work with a lot of cloddish. so being able to cut into it come at into it, removed parts, it is part of the process of negotiating the final form. >> how do you jump from the two dimensional work that you create to the three-dimensional? maybe going back from the 3f to 2d. >> everything is in the process of becoming. things are never said or settled. the sculptures are being made while i am doing the collages, and vice versa. it becomes a part of something else. there's always this figuring out of where things belong or where they could parapets something else. at the end goal is to possibly see one of these collage plans be built out and create a structure that reflects back into the flat work. >> thank you so much for allowing "culturewire" to visit this amazing facility and to learn more about the artists in residence program. is there anything you like our viewers to know? >> we have art exhibitions every four months, and a win by the public to come out. everybody is welcome to come out. we have food. sometim
