if you visit at level five, level five is much more of a quiet unit and they become much calmer.re cooperative. they become much more willing to comply with the level system. >> lean forward. you're leaning back too far. there you go. all righty. like part of the family. >> why is that? >> well, we've known each other 20 years. who do you know 20 years? >> your visiting hours are from 8:30 through 3:30 wednesday through friday. you're allowed to have up to 15 visitors on your visiting days. you understand? >> yes, sir. >> after learning the rules that govern level five, sears is transferred along with his belongings to his new tier, a place where he'll have a chance to work, eat and socialize with other inmates. the level system appears to be working. >> you're always going to have the hard-core cases but from the old main facility, there's no telling the change that i see from then to where we're at today, which is the level system, which is the best thing i've ever seen in my whole career. if the inmates do good, they get more privileges. they do bad, they get less. and it's so

looking at the state level, tribal level, federal level.e what are you doing before the disaster happens to think about recovery? i would encourage you to take notesç and start that. think about what you can do and where y want your community to go. the next key concept is that recovery support function. what is really important to communities afterward? looking at the community planning and capacity building. this is all-encompassing for a community. of the 6 recovery support functions, they all have numbers. our recovery support functions do not have numbers. looking at that. you will see that fema only has le for one of thead -- only has lead for one of these. mattñr will be leading the breakout sessions on commuting building -- community building and capacity building. i have worked with mat for the last three years. from the emergency support function number 14, long-term disaster recovery, matt has been with that for many years. he has been making that and looking at that. as we transformed into the national framework, the things we

over mandated levels in 12-13, 7 million the year after. the two records that would appear not to be met in the budget before you are police staffing and substance abuse treatment on demand. policemen and staffing requires 190071 full duty officers in the city, given the hiring plans that are contained in the budget. we see progress toward that goal in both years but we anticipate remaining well short of that mandate in both years of the budget. approximately $200 million below the prop d staffing levels in the first year, 175 in the second year. there is no allowance in proposition c, which was adopted later, for adjustments to be 1971, in cases where the mayor of civilianize his positions. we're looking at opportunities for that this wednesday when we have the police department. i can report more at that time. supervisor chu: supervisor wiener? supervisor wiener: this is perhaps more of a question to ms. howard about prop h. i saw that the mayor proposed pulling the trigger, which i think reduces the cash contribution fo. i know in the pa

if we are to achieve that one level of safety.n fact, it's those states that struggle so much to implement the international standards that icao puts forward into their regulatory framework that gives us a reality check. we're doing that very same same thing with industry, including the pilot community. we reached out to various international organizations to see what their safety and efficiency goals are over the next few years. we need to pull together through a set of harmonized objectives to achieve even higher levels of safety and efficiency. i started my career in the united states as a pilot. i was a line private, and like many line pilots, i really didn't know they much about icao. i didn't really know why i should care. it's a fair question, and the very strong role, the faa, transport canada have in your day-to-day operations. the faa or transport canada as your regular, and jeff accountability to them. so let's be clear on that. however, what comes out of icao and the icao mechanism eventually does have a direct effect

to do with the assessment of the local level. what is an example? when i first arrived in regional command east, the announcement had been made that the province will transition with the first tranche. no one thought they were ready for that transition. the good news says that it helped to jump-start the following effort that needed to happen and within six months of us being there, they were fully in the lead and ready and able, frankly, by the provincial government. that is ultimately what gives me confidence, the capacity of the courageous leaders on the afghan side to finish the work that has to be done. 2013 is going to hold some very challenging times for transition because the areas that are still quite contested are scheduled to transition. the thought process there is to make the transition while we still have a sufficient force to help finish with the afghans the work that has to be done. that is going to be a major undertaking. >> thank you. i'm from the congressional research service. general, thank you for being with

, but also on a perm level. yesterday, for example, on the -- during the reception that ambassador gave, i was able to meet a number of people who day by day do their bit to render canadian/german relations even closer, and i must say that we owe a debt of gratitude to the citizens on both sides of the atlantic who do that. canada is a country that, um, holds great fascination for many, many germans. we know that you are 30 times as big as the federal republic of germany, and, um, whoever wishes to appreciate the sheer beauty of nature and vast spaces, obviously, will find this more here than in germany, although germany, too, is a beautiful country. i don't want to sort of actually say bad things about my country when i'm abroad. but in this what is in a way rather insecure world, we, as the prime minister stated, discussed a number of issues of great interest to both of us, fee issues loomed large on the agenda first, and the comprehensive economic trade agreement. we feel very much committed to this. we want

if you go through the 2013 budget, the attrition level is 8%. n, we have fiscal year 1213 figures. -- the department size is éucomparable, i would say. the da has a 12% while building inspections and has 11%. the buildingñr inspector's offie as 9%. i made a chart for 2013-2014. that is when you see a bigger increaseÑ in dbi's overall coun. ó÷o8%. some otherÑ departments ri. it goes up to 12%. one of the reasons whys6 that became the case was we did add more to the budget to increase the demand for services. as we go alongÑiñr2!, that attrn number could changem]w dependinn a4xhow and what position could e filled. i think one of the things the commissioners areñr probably concerned with is the budgeted patriciane4x moble -- ñrattritin level. there are reasons for that number. ñrthere are more retirements. sometimes it takes a little longer to fill a position. that number might sometimes be a ñrthat being said,Ñi the budget attrition isñr pretty mid-rangei would say. ñri don't know if there are any commissioner:óç walker? t&commissionerñr walker

it is rising rapidly by it is that low level. we think that productivity will be a little lower than it would have been. there is a box in chapter two that talks about the lasting a fax of the recent recession and the ensuing economic weakness. we think the level of output at the end of the decade will be about 1.5% lower than it would have been. that corresponds to a reduction in revenue of about 1.5%. other things affect the forecast. the recession and the slow recovery matter for our future economic capacity. but that's not the principal factor leading to wide deficit under current policies. if we had economic growth that was a lot stronger, we would still end up with large deficits by the end of the decade under current policies. >> i wanted to clarify the magnitude of the fiscal tightening. would it be -- the largest reduction in spending or -- >> the largest reduction as a share of gdp in any single year since 1969. >> 9 to 69 would of been the vietnam drawdown -- 1969 would have been the vietnam drawdown? >> i do not know.

we were a technology program for summer jobs at the national level. we had committed to helping employers tired 25,000 summer -- we got a 30,000 summer jobs and internships as of yesterday. something is working. at the city level, we basically can't act to 2200 students with summer jobs and internships. my point that i want adam, i agree with robin and social media. it is important to point out that if it wasn't for their efforts to enact and encourage students to use this technology, we would not have had 2200 kids looking at the jobs. allocating the money, we will take it, but make sure that the community based organizations and the staff are there to do this. >> the department of families, work force development. >> a real motivator to become a partner was that we focused cradle to primary, and we realized it was scary because there was no place for students to go. they were the motivated in terms of doing well. there wasn't a lot of motivation, the city was losing real talent. people were going to college and not coming back. our motivator was to

the bill has been funded at levels very similar -- overall levels verisimilar to 2012, and it only covers 2013 and 2014 federal fiscal years. so we are talking about a highway funding level close to the $40 billion range, and a transit funding level in the $8 billion or $9 billion a year range. what is different is that some programs have been consolidated. notably, there is a new alternatives program, which brings together what used to be transportation enhancements as well as safe routes to schools, regulation of trails, but facilities, and other things like turning lanes, boulevards, retrofits, and so on. these changes have not sat well with the advocacy community, because they do represent, by lumping them all together, a fairly significant decrease in the total funding available for these programs. the funding is we would estimate about 30% lower. that is not good news for san francisco, which has always competed very well, particularly in terms of discretionary programs. furthermore, the funds for this new category are now divided 50/50 between a path that goes to mr. perot -- metro

thatç is at all levels of government and all levels of the faith-based community.es. we have seen it time and time again. in the floodings in tennessee last year, businesses were wiped out. businesses were wiped ád tornadoes in alabama. because those cities andç towns saw there was a recovery plan, they were both ready to move out of the city. one was wrangler. the otherç was a &oç oç smi. they wereç going to leave the town they were in because everything was droid -- was destroyed. because there was a plan and quick action, the locality had a plan. the businesses decided to stay. with that, jobs stayed. people stayed. with that, people had hopeç. the workers, the community because we, not just government, the whole community came together. as much as anything else we do, all this work gives people hope and makes a difference. you are going to hear from a lot of different people today. i am going to step out and come up -- back. if you do not know some people, take the opportunity toç get to know othersç outside of your aa of comfort. take that time. you m

some of these are staying at the same exact level. i wanted to find out some more about that. for that, i would be habitat and offline conversation. >> yeah, we will have to do that, supervisor. supervisor chu: with regard to language taxes, there was a question provided from our office to all departments -- regards dealing with access. i believe the attorney is not a tier one language access department. but there are claims that touch upon the city attorney's office. for folks who are monolingual, may have limited english speaking abilities, what is the city attorney's ability to serve those individuals? >> all those documents are put out in -- how many? instructions for all our forms will directly interact with the public in five different languages, supervisor. supervisor chu: when people call into your office to request information, do you use a language line? >> yes, we have specified individuals in our office who can speak a variety of languages, and we refer them to those individuals. supervisor chu: quickly, i know you said there were a number of items you are in agree

where that line should be john with seemingly be best at the federal level. and then we should and do have concurrence authority. the consumer protection bureau, one of the former attorneys general is also getting into the space a little bit as well on the federal side. there will be a lot of different people looking at these issues as it becomes more and more important. i actually picked. and yet would be present a couple of years back. vice-president. so forth. as said, this would be a great issue. it affects everybody, bipartisan, something we need to resolve. don't worry. in two years it will be fixed. a different issue. it is really not. we are really on the cusp of this issue being more and more important to consumers as they, you know, go on as site and map out a trip to their vacation next week. the next time, the bed-and-breakfast of that place. you know, gas stations, well, that is spooky. and people want to know, where they doing with an affirmation? calendar protecting it? to the giving it to? and so i think that has become a bigger issue. >> do y

the new transit center is five levels. >> the morning, commissioners.'m with e transit center district plan. i will take you through an overview of the plan itself. you've just seen a beautiful video and i will start with a brief background on how we got to where we are today. the planning director remarked a little bit on history with the downtown plan. the plan was adopted in 1985 and is a renowned milestone for shaping the downtown tselinograd today. it was promised on a compact, walkable, transit-oriented downtown, a sustainable economic vision for the city's growth. at the time, market street was at the southern edge of downtown and through that effort, policies were made to shift the balance of growth to relieve pressure on historic resources as well as the neighborhood's surrounding historic financial district. the vision for 30 years has been to increase the density and the concentration of growth around the trends bay terminal. there was not yet a vision for this modern facility that we are investing in today. at the time, the highest heights i

you can say things at a groupwide level, though. and so kent mentioned earlier the case out of florida in the sue presume court graham in which the court said the juvenile should be treated differently with respect to life without the possibility of parole. the same happened in simmons where the court has treated juveniles differently. it may be the case we can start to do that. we can start to categorize people. we categorized a group of individuals in virginia and said those people who have mental retardation have lesser couple ability for a whole host of reasons, they're more likely to follow people. they're more likely to be subject to peer pressure, less likely to have made premeditated decision-making. that's probably where this evidence is the most useful. we have a standard in criminal law called the reasonable person standard. this fictitious person that we measure everybody's conduct by. we say this is the person, the average person, the average juror, the average individual, the kind of conduct that we would expect an ave

this level of violence exists in our city. at this point, the intensity has hit the levels it has. when the resource levels and the investment in the safety measures both at the suppression level with the right levels of officers, the intervention and prevention levels are there, we were able to drive down our homicide rates down to all-time lows. but the reality is, over the last couple years, reductions have impacted us at all system levels. and i think we're seeing some of the implications of that. >> last year, there were 18 gang -related homicides in san jose. that was an all-time high. in addition to outreach efforts by the mayor's gang prevention task force, gang violence is now a priority for the police metro unit. >>> 911 recordings from moments after the massive chevron refinery fire in richmond. kron4 has obtained calls from concerned residents. you'll hear frightened people calling to report the black plume of smoke. >> police and fire department. are you calling about the chevron refinery? >> yeah, what's going on there? >> we don't know what's going on. chevron has a

you have to look at the next level up. so women as branch managers can move up until the regional directors who are typically men move up themselves. you have that type of pecking order. so, i think that, yes, there is sensitivity. i think women being the only one of anything, everything gets magnified. whatever you do and wherever you associate with it becomes an issue. however, we're seeing lots of examples these days in nontraditional sectors, such as defense industry that -- where women are making significant strides and great progress based on their talent. >> if i can point out if you're a woman -- study came out of the banking industry, right? if you're in charge of a branch, you are actually -- you don't get to decide how much everybody earns, those are dictated at a much higher level than you're at. i think what this is a reflection of is actually policies that are dictated on a much higher level that has to do with making sure the diversity exists at all level of corporate employ, i think it's very defense compan
