charitable deductions however, charitable deductions are critical to civil society, but to eliminate a lot of loop holes and to bring about a bipartisan effort to get the government on a sound footing. >> the principal is you've got to protect poor and vulnerable people as you find a path to fiscal sustainability. both are moral issues. >> it's hard to overestimate the importance of getting healthcare to 40 or 50 million people who did not have access to it before. that's just huge and as the wealthiest nation in the world, not to have healthcare for all was just a profound embarrassment. >> as bishops we've been working on healthcare reform for years. now there are issues about the healthcare reform that's been passed, the affordable healthcare act, that we have concerns about, one, some of the conscience issues. >> i hope he protects religious liberty. i hope he defends the right and protects the right and advocates for religious pluralism. >> the issue of marriage equality because i think he's already started to take that on in his first administration and i just feel like we're so clos

it was a lot of working-class folks. my father was a shore worker, my mother was an office worker at usc. my parents were divorced when i was 10 years old, and i moved to the east coast for six years before going back to california after high school. i went to school at uc santa barbara, graduated in 19988 -- 1988. i have lived in the excelsior since 1999. i have had lots of different jobs, but my main job is doing social work force and a disco, i have been a community organizer, i worked at a labor organization supporting janitor's working in our high- rise buildings. i was a legislative aide before .wr. i got to see how it all work from the outside, community organizations supporting young people, children, families, working for labor, and saw how city hall could be an effective tool for change and then considered running in 2007, 2008, and somehow, i made it. >> you were raised in los angeles, moved to the east coast. what made you want to come back and live in san francisco? >> i love cities. i never felt like i lived

smokey robinson produced a lot of them. rdy, he has a new play that will be on broadway. i cannot wait to see it. i am very happy. i know that he worked very hard on that. i am very happy about that. motown got behind us and give us what we needed. they trained as which a lot of times people today, they make all this money, more money than we ever made. they do not have that training before hand as we did. we did a lot of workshops. when we have that first number one record we were already professionals. tavis: i am glad you said that. when the first hit came seven records in, -- >> look who is laughing now? i am sorry. i did not mean that. tavis: when they first hit came, you are ready for it. it also said something about motown. you got today and get a record deal. you are out of there. the same thing in television. if you're not hitting in the ratings the first couple of weeks. >> i have written several books. this is not the first one but this is the second. it was a bestseller. i am very happy that i did write a lot abo

people are dealing with a lot of isolation. i mentioned people with disabilities who may be in the room where it is hard to get out. the staircase to be rickety. the elevator may be broken. there's a myriad of problems where people can be stranded in the room. phone jacks are one way that people can connect with the outside world. even if they're not physically stranded, to be able to call a friend, to connect with the neighbors, to set up a doctors appointment, critical for seniors and people with disabilities. for everyone to have a working phone jack. they are not being enforced. there issues with the department of building enforcement. we have recently introduced into the board of supervisors legislation that requires working phone jacks and grab bars in sros. supervisor marr introduced legislation that about two three weeks ago. they were very excited about this happening moving forward, getting a lot of support an interest. we have a handful of supervisors that have agreed to cosponsor. right now the bill is in the process

so a lot of things are being taken out of it and i'm not ready today to start a lot with particular details in the plan and i think we should pooive it forward with changes suggested by staff. let he just address one and then i'll shut-up for a while and that is an historic resource. i have been in historic preservation business for over 30 years, my company is a historic preservation form ark tell the court tubally and as well as doing study and is i was on the lan mark preservation advisory advisory board in the late 80s's and so therefore it dame as a surprise that there was so much interest and i was glad there for a while that people showed so much interest in preserving the historic buildings in the historic sonoma area and i looked at the restriction and saw hmm it's only article ten land marks and as it was pointed out by multiattitude of people i thought well that is a bit restrictive given what was adopted in earn neighborhoods. eastern neighborhoods and then it dawned autonomy that because the way that sonoma is create in alternatives of zoning the folks figured out there were ot

a lot we don't know. drew, appreciate it. >>> for parents, the ordeal began with the word that sandy hook elementary school was on lockdown. the first word that parents got. when we come back, we'll have more about what happened throughout the day. of washington about the future of medicare and social security. anncr: but you deserve straight talk about the options on the... table and what they mean for you and your family. ancr: aarp is cutting through all the political spin. because for our 37 million members, only one word counts. get the facts at earnedasay.org. let's keep medicare... and social security strong for generations to come. >>> i was in new york, and my wife called me in hissterrics, so i rushed home, and she -- she heard some bangs and she went running into a bathroom. >> it was frightening, it was like my heart stopped beating. i can't even explain it. >> jason carroll gave us a look insi inside the vigil tonight. we're joined by the church's pasto pastor. what do you say to a parent? wh

we did a lot of work with the data. we did a lot of data, put things together. we did things like added value, added certain locations. and i would love to be able to pull that back up to a shared community portal. from what i can tell it wasn't necessarily promoted at this time, but i think there is a lot of value in that. and shannon, interrupt me if i'm speaking -- if that's -- if i'm stating anything that's incorrect. you know, i know that they went through a special process. maybe we make it a little easier, a little more seamless so that anybody is pulling down data and doing things, they can't push it back up. that was one of the things we would love to see. >> probably shouldn't have been in public, but we were very naive about the whole process and we were actually trying to feed content locations around the city. and started to do this and started to think there must be a list out there. there must be a list of every park in san francisco. i would find it in wikipedia. we stumbled into the sf data website and started looking. it was unbelievable, actual

when choosing a dining room table, i wanted something that had a lot of character. i chose to find my own wood from a south shore school. we refurbished the wood and built new. we wanted a stable table but also had character. when designing a kitchen, start off with your island. i really wd thisand to be the gathering place for the family. if you look closely you can see the divots from people rolling. i also wanted it to feel spacious. i chose one that had nothing underneath. a great way to add another focal point, add a sliding barn door. now to the family room. the last room but the most important. this room just like the other ones was a small space to work with. i also wanted it to reflect the family. so i had them choose a bunch of old artwork, pictures, things close to them to add to the wall. this had a plain dry walled ceiling. i added detail. as you look up top you can see we added crown molding and also the boards. it reflects the artwork which gives more attention to the room. thanks for checking out my design on lincoln park today. i hope this will help

here in mexico city and it's sort of the mood concern it's one of tension and security and certainly a lot of folks are bracing for what the return of the party that will next over seventy one years actually mean especially when the first day of this return included a fatality three very serious injuries and well over one hundred people arrested during what was so pretty rockets and rockets exist it's not a problem though with the arrest and actually also with the injuries as well that apparently none of them occurred with the folks that were actually involved instruction that one of the anarchist groups that playing responsibility for the resistance was just really trying to penetrate a permanent change that was three miles away from the same place that any of that was in forming which was the mexican congress here in which the city. they were trying to penetrate the perimeter fence and they came out with a statement saying that none of our comrades none of our people are in jail or in solidarity with the people that are in jail and then reports came out as well from a variety of human gr

a lot of the lessons learned there are in bullets from just 2007. why this discussion is important and lessons learned up there, the 2007 fires burned a little over 500,000 acres, destroyed over 3200 structures and caused 10 fatalities. so why this is important, as you start to read the fire weather reports that justin talked about as we go into this fall, the experts are predicting above normal significant fire potential across the northwest quarter of the united states. those of you who live in southern california are used to a phenomenon called the santa ana winds. when you take into account dry conditions, we're in the part of the year when those winds start to change directions, we do have the opportunity for significant fire events throughout the california area. so, with that, what i'd like to do is kind of focus our discussion on 3 major areas.. command and control, relationships and resources. with that, let me start off with the first question, we got a lot of discussion yesterday about command and control. i just wanted to give an opportun

evidently, a lot of people l i wouldn't. to january harwood at the white house, president obama talking about the fiscal cliff. john? >> i wanted to play a soundbite from the bloomberg interview that i mentioned to sue a few minutes ago. one yes offered a carrot to say if you do that in the short term, put revenue on the table concretely in that way, we will have a long process of tax entitlement reform that could end up reducing the rate in 2013. here is the president. >> not able to come up with a comprehensive tax reform package that gets it all done just in the next two weeks. we are not going to be able to come one necessarily comprehensive entitlement reform package that gets it all done in the next two weeks. when you luke at what ronald reagan did back in 1986, working with bill bradley and others, that was a year and a half process. what i have suggested is let's essentially put a down payment on taxes, let's let tax rates on the upper income folks go up. >> now, the difficulty of tax reform has been a concern of the

they don't have a lot of options out there. we serve to the indian community, which is a huge, huge population now in san francisco. and we serve them vegetarian and vegan which is a stricter diet, i guess. and we actually prepare the food fresh. so nothing is deep fried or made that was frozen and reserved. so it will take a little more effort on our part to actually produce this food and it will take a while to deliver and take a while to sit and seat the meal as well. so it is a little bit different than the restaurants around the corner from us. so it happens and that we are in a strange situation where we actually have four 24/7 restaurants half a block away from us. i actually drew a map in the back and so you could go to slide six or seven and a map that shows that we are next to the cafe, and jack in the box at 24/7 and cafination and a diner. by, or most of the time, this restaurant is a very quiet, family, with children running around, that kind of a place. unfortunately, we are also some what have to be on the weekend

we do a lot of expansion. people start small through the credit union and then want to go to the bank. we know we are limited. we cannot afford to give out a big loan. starting from the credit union, we educate them about filing taxes properly and then moving on to the bank, a small one, expansion, and we work with the bank. the bank and credit union are similar. we do allow tax returns, projections. credit unions do not charge an additional loan or processing fee. processing time, on a small loan, -- consumer loans probably a few days. because we require a business plan, sometimes it takes longer. business plans take a while. especially bank statements. we need to see consistent income coming in. so far, a credit union delinquent rate is quite low because we are working with a client. we want to keep that low and as part of our mission. there is no application fee. if you are interested in an application or information, i have brochures, or you can give us a call. >> thank you. next is marked with wells fargo.

along with sarah, we [speaker not understood] was an organization that raised a lot of concerns about building efficiency units without a cap because of numerous concern aside from what sarah talked about. a previous speaker talked about there was a lot of increase in the south of market. the population increase, over 30%. we want to make sure that there's adequate analysis and thinking and really planning around the different amenities and public infrastructure that the neighborhoods need when there is population increase in the area along with traffic congestion. and also we had a lot of concern around how this is going to impact the affordable housing. we're still not convinced that this might alleviate people from not doing roommates because a lot of people does roommates because they want to keep the rents under 800. a lot of students inform us they cannot use their tuition fees or tuition things to housing. they actually still have to get a job. so, there is a need for affordable housing for families, students, seniors and everyone. therefore, that's why we worked diligently wit

those medical imaging tests are the most appropriate, are at the right dose, especially for kids are a lot of times, they don't know how to scale down for a child-size body and the machines may not calibrate or have clear directions on how to make that happen so in our own lives, we can ask our health care provides, are there safer alternative, mri or ultrasounds for doing this test, and then if you have kids and they need a test, ensure and ask questions about the safest dose and if they have machines that can calibrate to kids, and then we have to see these changes with the laws so if fda has proposals out for medical imaging around kids so you know how to downsize a radiation dose for kids who is smaller, their physical size is narrower, and also to make machines more accountable and more clear in how they work. >> [inaudible]. >> it's very low doses but that's an excellent question and i thought somebody would probably ask that. so, the united states preventative services task force in 2009 came out with a proposal to revise guidelines saying that perhaps women aged 40 to 50, there's n

and turnos out companies and individuals get a lot out of being charitable. they feel it is their best interest . this goes to make the point of it you are inabling people to have a more commercialized christmas and they are paying for their gives and toys. christmas is a wonderful celebration and the toys and is part of wt makes it terrific. >> do we tend to forget that corporations do a lot of good when it comes to charity work? >> i think corporations especially recently have seen the social good is what they want to look at . susan g kolmanaso. people put their trusts in companies that do good. >> waynewill we see more is bey aring companies troying to give and help fellow americans and fellow shoppers in k-mart and toys rus. >> of course, it is it a wonderful thing and a charitable thing and people out of the goodness of their heart helping someone else . that make its better. >> you know, john, i have to say so many companies and the banks and everyone get a bad rap and get beat up on television . you have good news coming on toys r us. you like it. >> i

a lot of statements have been made today. what i would really like you to do, i'm not here to oppose these appointments that are needed but at this point i think you should wait a while, at least until january because of the fact this is the time when a lot of change is happening in my community. i served on a joint housing committee with the redevelopment agency back in 1968 and the things that were supposed to happen in my community never did. you talk about affordable housing from the time the term affordable housing started being, i wanted to know affordable to whom because it's never been affordable to the people living in my community. the ami is the way of not having poor people living in san francisco. that need to be looked into. another thing that need to be looked into, before you set up a commission, throwing them in the fire, you know, because they don't know what's been happening in the past but one that's been a commissioner for some time, is just wait and make sure and have an audit done before they get there.

they operate with a lot of different hats on. just quickly, before we take a quick break, what roles did they play and are they sometimes part of the problem? >> guest: in our school there was a resource officer two doors down from the assistant principal, who didn't report any of the mis-behavior to the school resource officer. i think the school resource officer in cases of bullying can be a great resource. not that you want to create a record for someone in middle school but you want them to know there are real consequences to this behavior and the consequences only get more real as you get older. so a real liaison between the consequences when kids are younger and our making a decision in and their ability to say do you know what, these are not behaviors that i can do. >> host: the response of the adults that are supposed to be there, helping kids, protecting them, respecting them is really critical, isn't it? >> guest: absolutely. >> host: to what happens to these kids. all right, i think we will take a quick break now and we

we had a lot of stocks that people had to sell on. many people were negative on it, you can see, wow, a little bit of good news, how far it can go. >> you mentioned some of the earnings next week. oracle is one of them. today, janny initiates oracle with a buy target. >> larry olson, very, very competitive guy. the stock is up about 23% this year. but again, if oracle gets it right, and i think they could be, accenture reports next week, too, these are american companies doing fabulously overseas. oracle will probably be better than expected. it is not an expensive stock. >> when we come back, bank of america shareholders have big reasons to smile. stock's been on a tear, of course. diane olick with an exclusive with brian moynihan after the break. and facebook, will it add to the social network's rally or put an end to it. stay with "squawk on the street." the opening bell is in 5 1/2 minutes. governor of getting it done. you know how to dance... with a deadline. and you...rent from national. because only national lets you choose any

people don't write about it a lot. it does not have a big place in the historical imagination of americans, and there are a number of reasons for that. often confused with the texas revolution that happen before or ignored altogether. one historian stalker of the u.s.-mexico war, they tend to think about the war in relationship to the civil war. they merit the u.s.-mexico war as the first stop on the road to secession, arguing that the land that came from mexico with the close of the war was what really caused sectional is in the heat. in fact, all that's true. you can look at it as the moment the civil war became inevitable, or you can look at it on its own terms, which is what i try to do this book. what i was interested in doing whenever of this book was to sell the impact of the war on individuals and families. the u.s.-mexico border in the highest mortality rate of any american more, 15 percent of soldiers who served in mexico for the united states died. 78,000 troops to land it was a war that had a big impact on p

or some major endeavor to rescue the country and bring back water generate more why not really in a lot of cases and particularly in a case like pakistan which i've looked at quite closely i know donnish as well you know you could take relatively simple measures like paying a relatively small amount of money to patch up leaks in water pipes you know it doesn't mean taking a ten second shower either you know convene investing in your a geisha in technologies that use drip forms of irrigation instead of the flood irrigation which is used more commonly in that country and in other countries across south asia and elsewhere so you know i think it's more sexy and so forth to say oh well you know this country is is increasingly water scarce we need to do something now before basically the country water situation really blows up but really there are some basic realistic solutions you know whether governments are willing to carry them out that's that's another story ok if we could stay with you michael why doesn't the pakistan government do just exactly what you said. well that's a question that

minute, we work on public education, on policy initiatives, on web based and media advocacy, we have a lot of fun in that area so you should join us online and corporate accountability campaigns which i'll talk a little bit about later on in this presentation, we're really a community, so you can see pictures of different folks at different evens interacting and having a great time so we like to be hopeful that we can indeed prevent this disease and reduce the rates of breast cancer, and we have what we think is an amazing website that's full of all of the information that i'm going to present today and then some, so anything i talk about today, you can also find on our website which has rich information about the science, rich information about policy and ways that you can get involved, even by hiking in mount town this weekend and helping us raise some funds so we have some folks doing that in the audience as well, so as i said, we are a science-based organization, everything we do a rooted in a rich foundation in the science, and so for the past decade in fact, every couple of years, we

you qualify for a lot things. is really no reason any kid should be going to school hungry, really, there isn't. you also can be on the programs and receive welfare also. listen, $33 a day, you want to break it down that way, fine. reality though --. melissa: your point though in the title it says it is supplemental. >> the snap program --. melissa: idea that you're not living on $33. this is uply meant to other programs and whatever money you might have. >> they make it the point in marketing 60% on the program have some sort of job or income coming into the household. that underscores the fact it is supplemental. it is designed to help you out. designed to get you through a tough period of time. i don't think it was designed for someone to be born on the program and die on the program. melissa: you always say the problem isn't the logistics, it's the message, right? >> it is the message. right now the message is we owe people more as a birthright, being born in it country, somehow the government, the nation, the

what we saw was a lot of disappointing topline reports. re than 50% of the s&p had disappointed on the revenue side although the earnings were okay. i think that's a perfect example. >> all right. we're going to take a quick break as we await president obama.

>> there are a lot of books. that is one of the thing that hits me the most. books are good for understanding, language, and art in general. also being a graphic designer, going straight to the magazines and seeing all this printed material being discarded has also been part of my work. of course, always wood or any kind of plastic form or anything like that. >> job mr. some of the pieces you have made while you have been here. -- taught me through some of the pieces you have made while you have been here. >> the first thing that attracted me to this was the printed surface. it was actually a poster. it was a silk screen watercolor, about 8 feet long. 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

it doesn't economically seem to make a lot of sense. and this is a private project, too. this is not a city-owned project. this is not a project being done by an affordable non-profit. this is a private project and there is -- they are responsible to be receptive to the neighborhood and build something that is appropriate to the neighborhood and is supported by the neighborhood. and protected light and air and other things, but they should have the ability to put the type of project that they wish to put there, and have that ability as along as it's not deleterious to the neighborhood. >> commissioner borden? >> this project has certainly come aways. it's ridiculous in my personal view that there weren't these kind of conversations before. at this point i don't think that we're ready to take up this project. i think that there is a lot of work to be done. the adjacent buildings points out a lot of problems and mr. schoolneck pointed out things are moving, but there are things to be done. i don't think you can necessarily arrive at a quick resolution after so much time and

a lot of parents around the world whose children will be asking them questions. do you think you know what you will say? >> unfortunately we have been through a bit of trauma in our own life. for me and i can't speak for other moms or moms around the world but for my family, i speak quietly and truthfully. and i try to answer the questions that are asked and give the information that they ask for without a lot of detail. i definitely don't lie. i was point blank asked tonight if the principal was okay and i said no and she asked if she was dead and i said yes. i don't lie to my children. i try not to offer too much because i'm not sure what they know. so i try to sit back and wait for them to ask but if they ask me a question i give them an honest answer. unfortunately for a lot of us in town, the answers are not good. >> the principal -- >> our hearts are sad tonight. i don't think that anyone can answer these questions easily. they are definitely not fun answers. >> i've heard so many great things about the principal, dawn hochsprung and the fact that your child

>> [inaudible] >> they do say that it costs a lot. i don't have an exact figure but i would hope they would be somewhat scaled back this time not only because of the economy but the second inauguration. by definition a second inauguration isn't quite the same importance as the first. there is no change of power, there is no transition, it's a continuation they ought not yet made an announcement about what is going to be like this year. it's called a do we need a second inauguration he. the country wouldn't lose out at all if they scaled back a little bit for sure. >> one more question. does any president-elect die before he was inaugurated? >> that's never happened. it there was an assassination of president-elect roosevelt in 1932. but it didn't succeed. estimate does the vice president become the president? >> as the vice president take over? >> the vice president-elect would take over? >> i believe the would be correct. >> one more quickly. >> i was wondering about [inaudible] stat of course he was the civil war president, and washi

i've got a lot of freedom i've made a lot of work. >> rose: made a lot of money. >> made a lot of money. >> rose: interestingly, you and andy warhol have made that sort of acceptable. >> yeah, i think without andy warhol i wouldn't have gone so gung-ho. a lot of people say "oh, my god, you've got factory." and you think, well, factories can make dog food or they can make porsches or great cars or something like that, you know? so the process is not -- i think it doesn't matter how you get where you're going as long as where you get what you want as an artist. >> rose: and you want what? >> it's different. sometimes i go in the studio and i think look at all this stuff, this guy's insane. one minute i want to spot paint and the other minute i want a spin painting and i kind of imagine it's almost like there's a lot of crys in here. >> rose: what do you think people don't get about the spot painting? >> probably the simplicity. i think -- it's funny -- there's a big difference between art and craft as well. i get asked a lot where people go "you don't paint your own paintings." but that's

i rent from a private company that owns a lot of buildings in san francisco and i pay below market rent, although my rent is still very expensive. with this last round of rent increases my rent has increased to $2005 for a two-bedroom apartment in the mission. during my time with this company, they have sent me many notices with miss steer yus sums of money that i owe, that i supposedly owe. all of these notices are in english and the amount of money that i owe is never fully explained to me but i am charged at least $200 for $250 a year. my building has changed a lot in the time that i have lived there. the majority of the new tenants are not latinos, they are younger, they are whiter and they pay a lot more rent than i do. it is clear that the property owners wish to displace me because they can make a lot more rent renting to other tenants. tenants like me who have been living in our apartments for many years and that pay rent that is much lower should not continue to be the targets of landlord harassment. we deserve to live in our units and in our communities. i ask that you all who

that put a lot of pressure on them because the consumers said we don't want those things in our products and the change happened and now they have a plan with timelines and clear transparent goals to get those chemicals out of their products. it might be a little slower than we'd all like as consumers but it's moving in the right direction and getting one major company to move put a lot of pressure on those other companies if they want to maintain their credibility, so we're seeing safer shampoo products, we want to pass laws. >> radiation is the longest and best studied exposure link to breast cancer and what can we do about that, some radiation is naturally occurring, but we know that since 1980, radiation exposures for the average person have doubled and most of that is probably due to a 600 % increase in medical radiation, we're being exposed to a lot more radiation from medical tests, sometimes that's the only option, it's worth that added risk because the alternative is really dangerous sometimes, but we want to ensure those scans and those medical imaging tests are the most approp

we talked a lot about supporting our small businesses and a lot of times i hear a lot of lip service to it. this is actually putting your mouth, your pocket where your mouth is and actually making that investment to make sure we support our small businesses. again, i want to thank the mayor. i want to thank all of my small businesses who have weathered the years here. * and of course to all of our departments who have been absolutely phenomenal with this effort. thank you. (applause) >> all right. thank you, supervisor. and we also know that it's so important to make sure that we get the workout on the streets and we have to -- the right kind of nonprofit partners who help us achieve the goals of a program like this one is so important to our small businesses. so i'd like to invite up to speak frank baumgartner from small business economic developer to help get the word out with supervisor chu. so, frank? >> thanks, everybody, for being here. i'm with asian neighborhood design, project coordinator over there and we're a nonprofit architecture firm that's been around 40 years, special

a lot of other issues in a wave election. what do you think about the politics of gun regulation, you as a longtime supporter, do you think senator feinstein can work with the president in january to make a change on what has been a frozen issue? >> well, i think, bill, you know, it is not -- as if there hasn't been discussion in the last -- since the ban lapsed. it is really the question now as to get movement in the congress and so i think talking about a comprehensive approach, talking about mental ill must as well, i think would help get the discussion going and in a broader sense and bring all of our colleagues along. >> and -- let's take a look at -- one point that has come up in the shift since these mass murders. there is a new poll out from gallup this week that shows quite a bit of movement. when you ask people they think in essence gun law should be made more strict, broad question, you know have 58% of americans saying yes. gun laws should be made more strict. and that's a 14-point jump since last year. only 34% n
