how are we doing?well, let's start off with the toll plaza and the metering lights are on and no trouble on the bridge but across the way in san francisco, southbound 110 and paul avenue, they are clearing a crash and it's causing a little bit of a slow down, it is not a huge back up but if it stays out there, we will have a huge problem. that looks good getting up to highway 17, let's go to steve. >>> all right, we have cloudy skies, a few reports coming in and out to the east bay, it is a system which is here, cloudy skies, windy at times look for a mostly cloudy day and we'll see bent conditions take over. 50s on the temperatures and a lot of 50s and i think they are there for most of the morning and the breeze has been very good. still out of the southwest and it's an on shore breeze so it is a cold front breeze and some other rain is reported below dana and vallejo said it is real rain falling and we will have more to talk about so you will see something there and a couple of reports of light rain

and we are not alone, we are not really trying to be copenhagen or the netherlands, we are trying to keep up with cities in the u.s., like our peers in chicago, new york, seattle, austin, texas, memphis, tennessee, this is the result of a survey of 85 cities across the u.s., asking these folks what they are building and then their municipalities and the protected bike lanes and really the majority of the respondents to the survey either have them on the ground and they are in the planning phase or they are talking about it. so this is really their over 100 of these kinds of protective bike ways that are either, designed or in the ground in north america right now and they are growing. so this is really becoming the state of a practice particularly for the urban environments. >> but, you know, having said all of that, there is no such thing as perfect separation, this is a picture from copenhagen and it is meant to illustrate that space in the environment as precious. we need to have breathing room in all of our designs, space needs to be flexible and the bus riders need to be dropped

they are so conditioned you are just giving mae a slogan. so i think we naed to own the way in which respect is used in our cull taur and to say to young people, this is what it looks like it me when we walk down the hall and what it looks like to me as a teacher when i walk down the hall and be respectful, if i hear bad language, what a teacher will say if i had to stop at every f-u in the hallway i wouldn't be able to teach. i would spend my entire day doing that. what i would like to think about is those are the small moments that really speak to the culture of the school and so you can't stop every you are a faggot walking down the hallway, you can't stop every retarded. actually you can and you can do it in a way that really speaks to the dignity of all the children. as a teacher i think sometimes we have forgotten when you are a teacher, kids are going to cuss you out sometimes. you are not going to fall down dead if children say f-u when you walk down the hallway. it won't kill you to have an eraser thrown at you behind your back. tha

what we are ntrol. the point of this ocal legislation is simply to have jurisdictions like san francisco decide for itself what makes sense and the idea which we were never going to have a blanket rule throughout the city but that we would take it on a case by case city and we would allow the city to figure out and work with city government to see what makes sense. from a public safety issue there is an argument to be made that as a matter of public safety, it's good to have that opportunity, to have different businesses close at different times. i used to be on the police commission i know that everyone that closes at a specific time becomes a challenge for the police department. i think this is legislation that makes sense. there are world class cities throughout this country and throughout the world that are already doing it and i think that san francisco is lagging behind and one of the reasons that i as a gay man came to san francisco because of the entertainment nightlife that we have here. i thin

but there are. if i were brought to a conference for the police, we'd have a very different point of view. if i was at a conference for the district attorney we might have a different point of view . the nice thing about this program is we are going to have a job. the police are going to arrest these. the attorneys are going to prosecute their cases and the public defenders is going to defend their client and everybody gets to do their job. they are going to do it legally, ethically, but we ask more that they do it morally. so, if i'm walking down the street and i'm pulling my dog's chain or i leave my dog outside in the cold and i don't feed it and it has health problems or i kick it and make fun of it and treat it harshly, you can arrest me. but i can do that to a person and you think it's okay. i don't think it's okay. jeff got me on the phone and said i want to know more about the program and i talked to him and said this is how it works and he said what's the biggest barrier? i said we have tro

we are going to talk about the fair test are not all created alike. how there can be structural design flaws in the way that we run trial so that they no longer our tests about what treatment is best. we are talking about marketing. although that i find marketing a little bit worrying.

addressed, and that they are taking care of and whatever services are provided are provided in the culturally competent way and i know that is a priority for you. the last thing that i would say -- families, i know that's been your top priority, how do we keep families in san francisco, but there are many who are struggling and focusing on children can never be a bad thing. i think that we can always do more for our kids and that is one of the things that we want to see happen in his budget. so mr. mayor, we look forward to the discussion. i want to thank all of my constituents from district 9, from portola, from mission, myrtle heights, this is a process. your input will be heard. thank you very much. now it is my honor to give the microphone to my friend for more than 20 years, my colleague from law school, supervisor scott wiener. >> supervisor wiener: thank you supervisor campos, mr. mayor. supervisor farrell welcome to our neck of the woods. as david mentioned, i am scott wiener, i represent district 8, and i have the honor for the third year that i have been on the budget committee. i a

there has been a lot of analysis that we are not going into a lot of detail, but we are giving you a picture of the dimensions that have been assessed. we have been having a dialogue on this plan for a while and this gives you a picture of it being a couple of years in the making and sharing with you some of this input and at this point, we are taking public comments on the final draft. we had the session in san francisco and we still have four more counties spending and so we are taking public comments as well as engaging in dialogues with you elected officials with planning staff, with transportation and, staff. again there are two essential pieces that were integrated. and the job strategy and the transportation strategy. i would like to give you a few highlights of how it is growing and how the plan attempts to address this growth trends. over all these numbers are you might have seen them before, 1.1 million jobs into the region, and 2.1 million people and 660,000 new units and as you see, san francisco is taking on a major responsibility in terms of jobs and housing. in terms o

they are trained. they have the responsibility, the decision making tools and capabilities that a lot of employers are working for. that is why many corporations have said -- look, if a veteran comes up, we will find a place to put them to work. one of the biggest things we have been having trouble with as we work with governors across the united states is the certification process. there is no reason that a veteran that was a combat medic should have to go through a one- year training froth at in order to become an e n t -- a one-year training process in order to become an gmt -- emt. so, i salute the first lady and the doctor biden for doing what they're doing to bring attention to this particular issue. i think that all of america does not want to see the unemployment rate for returning veterans to be higher than the national average. >> there are maybe some folks to have issues with certification, but there are a good many that cannot. over the next three years, for years they are expecting 1 milli

they have to win. >> you are good. you are good. you are good. stay and enjoy it and take east red jacket. thank you, amy. in medical bills that could devour a big bit of your net egg and wal-mart is struggle,. jane king is at the new york >>ook ex amper on trading. they reported a bigger drop if quart early sales as the customers waited for the tax returns and saw larger bit of their checks go to payroll taxes. they forecast weaker-than-expected profits this quarter and shares are under pressure. the markets, overall, are steady with the dow and s&p 500 lower and the nasdaq is trading higher. the silicon valley index is up. now, if you thing you have save new for retirement, these numbers are scary. fidelity estimates couples retiring this year need $220,000 to pay for the medical expenses through retirement. this is what retirees who have traditional medicare insurance coverage and some couples will actually need more than that, with an estimate does not include any costs nursing home care. >> the jackpot this weekend, i know you missed that, w

what are the types of jobs that are coming back?e see professional services come back in a big way. those tend to be white color, higher paid jobs. highere-collar, paid jobs. the question is, what happens to jobs in the middle/ -- middle? using construction jobs return for the first time in a very seentime -- you have construction jobs return for the first time in a very long time. host: we are taking your thoughts. we want to see what is going on in your part of the country. we will start with our guest in indianapolis, indiana on our unemployed line. thanks for joining us. i have been employed for many years. i am in the middle sector. i have customer service, managerial experience. it has basically been like a dead field. , was trying in different areas trying to go through different labor department's. there are the technology jobs. there are really not any jobs for the middle, like she was saying. it used to be that i could get a doingr $10 or $11 customer service. those jobs are obsolete. they are either seven dollars or $25.

if you are going to text or talk on the phone, please do that when you are stationery. it makes the world of difference. it keeps everybody safe and sets a good example for our young people so when they grow up, they learn not to do this. we are committed to this strategy and we think it's going to be successful and we hope to reduce injuries and fatalities. get out and enjoy this beautiful day. thank you. [ applause ] . >> thank you so much, chief. next we have the municipal transportation agency. >> [ applause ] >> thank you, mr. mayor, members of the board. i also want to acknowledge my boerpd of directors and the mta and our vice-chair. our board member lien a bridges. they are responsible for bringing the example of leadership when it comes to walking. every trip begins and ends on foot. some of our best trips is when we are on foot. that's because walking is free. walking is a zero admission strategy. you don't have to pay for parking. it makes the streets less congested. makes the streets more vital. and this is why san francisco is the great city that it is. wal

we continue to push hard; we are doing good work but we are under resourced. a the district attorney has raised is concerned with the mayor and supervisor chu, and prepared a budget supplemental that we hope will alleviate some of the challenges that we are facing in the near term. i will be happy to answer any questions that you have. >> i have a question. i read today that -- applied for grant money for investigators and prosecutors in the domestic violence arena. have you heard anything about that? >> we are always applying for grants. we just received one in conjunction with the departmental staff to help english deficient victims. when the case is coming to the police department the police evaluate the danger of possible death for the victim and allows for a portion of attorney positions and advocate but not investigator. >> when the victims are initially on board with the prosecution after the arrest, there is a substantial majority of the time when the picture changes his or her mind, can you tell us about the difficulties that prosecutors deal with in

who are they? they are your friends. they are the people you like. they like environmental things, other things. these things i tried to talk to them and so have others much more powerful than i am. he was in mexico for 3 months. he had a mental breakdown. he thought he was dead. to check if he was dead he stepped out in front of a trick and the truck missed him. and his mother went day in and day out to check the bodies in tijuana and finally he wondered back and finally the lawyers at a c l u, made a case t . the government was unrepent ant. the best way to do is go to the place and look at the people and be a voice coming out as best you can and say this is what i saw and on the 5th floor, some of them well-dressed people i mentioned in my statistics go into a room to get advice as to how to handle their particular matter to question their connection to their children. and there is a woman there in the line and she thinks that her former husband molested her oldest child and he now wants custody and he has a lawyer and she doesn't. now i know what
