i would say, "my husband is running for president and i would like you to interview me"" they would say, "president of what?" "president of the united states." "you have got to be kidding." i said, "no, i am not kidding." and they would have no idea what to ask me. before the first day was over, i had five or six questions, the things that i wanted people to know about jimmy. and i came home and said, "i can do it." what i learned is everybody is the same. they want good families, good places, good things for their families. they want a church. usually they wanted a place to worship. they want to make a living and have a good life. i mean, everybody wants the same thing. regions have different other things. but just in general, people want to be happy and have a good home and a good family. >> in your book "first lady from plains," you write that you are more political than your husband. what did you mean by that? >> he says what he thinks no matter what it is and sometimes i would get after him. i think you have to be political in a certain way. you have to be honest and you have to sa

i would point out to the committee that the staff is there. there is not a question of more staff, of course the department will get additional staff in each year, but i do want to know that the staff, the big increase in staff has been in this space. and we are not questioning in fact, we are making a recommendation to approve this lease based on the recommendation that it's over crowded. i simply want to mention to the committee that the staff is there and have been operating this space. >> just on the staffing, do you have the staff that came on over the years that was between 1999 and the present that we gone from 62 to over a hundred. i see in your report to 7 staff. did the majority come on in the last couple of years or over the last 10 years and maybe 5 years ago we saw the highest level of staff. >> we have not made that analysis supervisors. i think the department can respond to that. on page 21 we point out that currently the employee's retirement system, $524,000 of annual rent at the city owned building at 30 van ness. in cable two

as we move forward i would like, and we would have it and i would like to have it and i would like to know how many times are arrested in schools, and if any of those arrests are for things that don't happen in schools. and because basically our idea that there should not be any arrests in schools, for something that happens outside of the schools. unless i would like us to pay attention to this and about whether how that standard is working and what the results are by telling us. and the things that happened outside of school. one of our we have had to do it and we have the police department, about if the purchase and it is part of the police department's community policing strategies and it is supposed to be about establishing it. and changing some of the perceptions of the police out in the community, and perceptions of the community, it seems to not look at schools as a place where we can get kids and they may want to arrest for some reason. and so i just wanted to say that and hope that we can get some reporting on that. thanks for the work. i know this was a huge amount of work.

the first thing i would do when i would wake up would be throw up you know i that my body like with pain it was really crazy so what i tried to do is i tried to think like well i definitely want to kill myself and i would think i probably should but then i realized you know what i try to step out of myself and i was like what if a friend was saying these things what i tell him you should kill yourself and i thought no i wouldn't i would help him and so i tried to pretend i was somebody else i was like just try to step outside and observe yourself and you know you're not so bad that you don't deserve help so i went to the doctor and it worked out gradually over time so let's go to other areas i salute you and you thank you well your job to those in french i lived in france for a year and so i do speak french and i just thought it would be really pretentious for an american comedian scumbag to title his chapters in french but i don't know what it means i know and i love that i love that if somebody wants to know they got to do so. pick up a dictionary or you know a translation thing y

if others have an interest as well, i would like to hear about that. and interested anyone interested in being a vice-chair you can speak about that sex with. commissioner campos? >>supervisor david campos: thank you mr. chair, i don't know if there could be a combined nomination. my nomination is to nominate you as chair and breed as vice-chair. >> i will second that. >>supervisor john avalos: okay. any discussion? commissioner breed, you are in accord with the motion? very good. okay. let's go to public comment. eric brooks, representing san francisco green party and local grass roots. just to comment commissioner breed has shown some really outstanding leadership on this issue and it's extremely appropriate for her to move to vice-chair on this lafco. thanks. >> wolf neighborhood council in acclimation. >>supervisor john avalos: is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. this is motioned by campos and second by mr. mar. can we take that without objection. first i would like to say this you for the support and i'm r

also i would encourage you to look into oakland lake. again i implore you to perform a full environmental impact statement. thank you. >> good afternoon, my name is dan, you did pronounce it right. thank you. the wild equity institute, the definition of equity, the state quality or ideal of being just, impartial and fair. i questionnaire the impartiality. i question the give and take in this process. i would encourage you guys to stick with the path that you are going down. they talk about an in equitable relation. this golf course has existed for 80 years. coexisted in a very good fashion. you talk about a biologically i mpoverished world you would not be able to find a wild life in a park. what's the creation of a more in just world. nature itself isn't always just and fair. we lose thousands of species every year on this planet. i'm for the work that you guys do, but i believe we can coexist and continue to maintain a golf course and save the snakes and the frogs which is what i think you are trying to do with this project. a couple of

when i would join you peter i think we we're we're seeing the diplomacy in the case of iran and hopefully that will move forward and will be able to hold back those regressive elements in the u.s. congress that don't want to plough mysie and then i think in terms of syria there's going to have to be a lot of efforts and diplomacy whether they'll be successful who knows and in my little way i'm joining with women's groups from around the world we're going to be at the talks in switzerland in january hundreds of us surrounding the building and saying we want a ceasefire we want women at the table because if there's going to be diplomacy there's got to be women at the table and we want a massive amount of humanitarian aid which should go with the diplomacy so yes i would institutionalize you peter i would be right with you saying twenty fourteen must be the year of diplomacy came away and on that i mean could we see more diplomacy because iowa express my own personal opinion here is that i've often wondered why over the last twelve years we have a secretary of state bec

in addition i would like to recognize the members who could not be here tonight. which you chuck horn brook, our secretary, magdalena and frank. i think that represents all the members of our committee. can we have the student delegates come up for the photograph. >> i don't think he's here, ms. flemming. brian fox. apologies. speaker: thank you, members. now we have student delegates report. angela wei and logo an. speaker: thank you. things are picking up. we did recently an acc bylaw review to reconfirm the understanding of the bylaws with the real emphasis on the attendance policy which we have been reworking and we might possibly change in the future. another big thing on the cac agenda is the vision 2025. february 7th, is the last vision 2025 meeting and sac will be participating again at the bayview from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.. the sac leadership team participated to include a native in the 2025 campaign. thank you. speaker: the sac's annual youth summit will be held in march. we'll have students from the san francisco unified school district. important that

that that's not going to happen i would make them pay per pound and i would be a lot propound what does it look like the script look it's i think it's great but obviously i have i have some favorites as i'm there but it is definitely a throwback to the earlier seasons of the show where qana you know was these four friends really just trying to help their best friend navigate this crazy situation he's in with movie stardom so it for the fans i would say it's a throwback to the earlier earlier seasons but it's the same guests say no no major major star it no tom cruise no there is no time cruise but entourage is always had there are great cameos and there will be some great cameos as always and in the movie so you know you're a busy successful everything's groovy for you you know i don't want to say that out loud because i'm scared that it's really not true but it's. you know it really just to me i've seen that you just got it you've got to work hard it has to be a top priority because if you marry no single got a steady girl out a girl i have a girl the first time i've actually said out

when i would join you peter i think we we're we're seeing the diplomacy in the case of iran and hopefully that will move forward and will be able to hold back those regressive elements in the u.s. congress that don't want to plough mysie and then i think in terms of syria there's going to have to be a lot of efforts and diplomacy whether they'll be successful who knows and in my little way i'm joining with women's groups from around the world we're going to be at the talks in switzerland in january hundreds of us surrounding the building and saying we want a ceasefire we want women at the table because if there's going to be diplomacy there's got to be women at the table and we want a massive amount of humanitarian aid which should go with the diplomacy so yes i would institutionalize you peter i would be right with you saying twenty fourteen must be the year of diplomacy came away and on that i mean could we see more diplomacy because iowa express my own personal opinion here is that i've often wondered why over the last twelve years we have a secretary of state bec

croix would call me. i came back a week later to find out why no one had called me and she said that the mayor would be complying starting next month, even though the notice period is 15 days under the law. i asked a series of questions, has there been into complaints so far? do you have any documents relative to? and to seech question she responded i'm not clear on that, after i had gotten that same answer four or five times it was clear to me this was just another cover-up, even before the facts had been established. you have to realize that this comes on top of the abuse and dishonest that we get every place else. i mean, if the mayor's office is just a gang, and the library commission is just a gang, and there is no reason why you should be socially responsibility, because the ethics commission is just a gang, then we're just going around in circles. you have to realize that this is, in fact, cover-up. mr. st. croix sees himself, obviously, as a situation where everybody else in the city is mostly hones

in the case of iraq, it was always believed that it would be a short-term commitment. and i think it would be interesting to ask those who are participants in the decision-making had they known in march 2003 that the country would be at war in iraq for six or seven more years, whether they would have made the decision. they did. this assumption that the war would be short but at the end was right around the corner afflicted the department of defense as badly as it did the decision-makers themselves. and because they assumed the war would be over quickly, there was a great reluctance to spend significant sums of money on equipment that might be needed to protect the troops but that might be useful only in iraq or afghanistan and as i describe in the book the department of defense has organized a plan for war and not to wage war. so the services dedicate all of their efforts to developing their long-range procurement plans and then defending those plans in the budget process regardless of what comes along. and people were reluctant, for example, to find developing funds that s

cantor: i would say to the gentleman, mr. eaker, that the -- there is an expectation that the list of principles will be released in the near future. hat's about as definite as i can be. again the sense is that there is common agreement on certain issues. i think that there are, unfortunately, thus far, given the track record around this town, very little room for discussion, negotiations, and hopefully this could be different. but thus far, mr. speaker, all i can say is we are looking for the release of those principles in the near future. . mr. hoyer: we welcome moving ahead on the omnibus. we think that's very critical. we hope that we can address the unemployment insurance issue. not as a substitute for focusing on growing jobs and growing the economy, essential, t as recognition that some 1.3 million people, growing by 72,000 people a week, are in deep distress and we want to help them. we think that's the right thing to do. and we think america can do both, grow the economy and help the who have been hurt by rundown or t

this is an annual report and i would like a quarterly. if we can, i don't know if it makes sense to make this part of the reporting. i want something of that so you can see how the projects are proceeding and what the issues are and maybe impeding implementation and also maintaining our focus on a time line for achieving the 265. currently that timeline is 2025, so several years aver the 2018 decisions that we'll have to be making and that's a significant enough issue that we really need to give a very bright light on that. i would like some form of quarterly reporting that reports on those projects, problems, pediments and projects and how that has the ability to relate to 256 as soon as possible. >> may i recommend that we do it at the same time as the w sip updates because it ties the status to these projects? >> yeah. i think it makes sense. of the six projects, 5 are capital projects. there is also a couple other projects that maybe useful in re storing 265. it needs to be augmented. >> perfect. >> thank you. before i mention a commun

i would try to do that one. last thing i wanted to mention if you will pull up on the screen, i would ask supervisors to tell me based on this sheet in the meeting this morning, this locations were in your own area. can any of you tell me that? my point is that you can't. if you go to dpw, click on the right hand side and track down the street number, you can at least try to list them by zip code so people can find them. thank you for your time. >> good afternoon supervisors, my name is dell seymour. i think everybody in this room is moaning and growning about cable. we are going home to watch cable. i think we should come out with a better design for these boxes. i represent the tenderloin. we kind of like the boxes because it keeps the piss and poop on one spot. 10 years ago it stopped a bullet that might have got me. we are not too much in opposition here. mr. blake man from at&t he was nice enough to brag about putting three garages in the bayview. did he hire anybody from the bayview. maybe he forgot about t

i would get downtown and i would bug the people on the streets. i was down at the penny arcade in beaumont. it was a sunday. there is nobody downtown on a sunday. i got up on the shoeshine stand, the fellow was there shining shoes. i was playing and singing and all of a sudden, one or two people come by, three or four getting out of church or a movie. they would stop and listen for a minute. all of a sudden, people started throwing nickels and dimes and quarters and pennies and a dollar bill or two. when it was all over with, i had $24. i had never seen that much money in my life. i went crazy. the arcade was right behind me. i had a ball. that is what happened to me a lot. >> what ever happened to the money? early on, you found out that you could earn your way by singing. >> it grew into a religion for me, country music. i loved it so much. when i knew that people like to hear me as much as i like to sing to them, i could make a living at this. >> did you know what you had? johnny cash said, people ask me who is my favorite country artist and i sa

i would watch you wrestle with red or white. e, of course, because it's fish; but red is seductive. whoever fell in love over a glass of white wine? tavis: [laughter] >> i, uncharacteristically on time, would like you to greet me in a butcher's apron. i would like to watch you greet me only in an apron. you would ask me to undress -- to undress for you. before i sit down at the beautiful table, before you hand me my glass, you would ask me to undress. i would like to watch you watch me undressing for you. i would like to watch the movement inside the apron as i undress for you. i would like to watch you walk no, stroll to your closet, where you bring out your old buffalo plaid dressing gown, your pilly, much-washed dressing gown that smells like you after you brush your teeth, after you shower, after you comb your hair. i would like to embrace your odor. your odor, your essence, as we sit down to eat. i would like for you to cook for me. i would like that very much." tavis: this -- [laughter] this book -- that piece is called, by

should he approach i would say i would see. not don't ever try to let go of being starstruck because cheryl and i when we went to the vanity fair party a copy of it always you know it's like people like it when you come up to them and say you know larry i'm such a huge fan different like that when people say always it is it is always nice but you but the trick is to get out gracefully because he's not going to want you to sit down and hang out no offense because i'm sure you're a great person but you have to do your thing and then act like you want i wanted to act it out we're going to show you me i'm your tirade ok i'm here i'm daniel radcliffe it's so great to see you know i am i even like our the biggest fan and q so much. gosh i would love to talk to you but larry needs me on the set great thank you this lovely thing i thought about writing is you know again i would love to i got it this is the way to deal with it that you think about you and i believe crazy . you that you're fired ok. this is the room a lot of to me by sea

it's not the approach i would take. we've got to solve this problem or else american taxpayer will be on the hook for public tens of billions of dollars, so i truly appreciate the effort. i would have all kinds of different suggestions and ways of doing things, but it really is the 80/20 roads are not going to offer any amendments. i'm going to speak to a number of them that i will support and oppose but i just want to encourage my colleagues to understand the difficult customize, and it's what they're asking for, striking compromise, work with each other and start moving in the right direction. it's not the perfect solution but it does move the ball in the right direction. so i have no amendments to offer other than to support both of your efforts, and thank you for them. >> thank you very been much. thank you for this comment and working for us and to willingness to continue to do so as we move forward. senator pryor, i know you took your shot and offered a senator landrieu's amendment. i would be willing to let you ha

tall, i would be in the nba, but hypotheticals are hypotheticals. ord paul or marco rubio chris christie. is there a candidate out there on either side that breaks that? if elected in 2016? well, first, i do not think there was anyone at the time when clinton was getting impeached, looking at that as an error of less polarization. >> the golden days. >> the golden era in washington. i think you did have a lot of people with experience from the clinton white house in the first term of the obama administration. also, you are always fighting the last war. try to passntons health-care reform, the complaint was that they had handed the law down on high, and they had ignored the prerogatives of congress, and so the approach this time was different. framework, a bipartisan framework, largely because it had been built on the republicanrom the alternative to hillary care, and they thought that if the details were worked out, they would be able to do something in a bipartisan way than if it were a president handing things down from on high. theink they underes

and so, going forward, i would like to have a clear definition of what the choices are, i am not okay with just, you know, tear it down and you can do whatever you want. there has to be something, and we can't let this happen and i am going to use this as an example, going forward so people do not think that they can get away with this assuming that i am not saying that it happened. but i want to be really clear, and these kind of situations have happened, while i have been a commissioner, and we need to do what we can to stop it. >> commissioner mar? >> so, i know, this is question of for the staff topic, but i want to thank president mccarthy for focusing in on the questions and for those of us who are not even involved in the construction business, there is a lot of questions, and the tough thing is that i didn't even know about the article but this came up on the web yesterday and when i walked into a motorcycle shop of all places yesterday, in the south of market, the owner of that shop said hey did you hear about this, because you knew that i was on the commission and so this is

believe that i would. i believe that this is the most important lesson learned from the financial crisis. >> mr. chairman, thank you for having this hearing. i very much appreciate your candor and transparency. i really do. i appreciate the conversation, both in the office and -- i want to thank you for giving us the same answers today that you gave in the office. >> thank you very much senator. i appreciate that. >> senator hagan? >> i want to echo what everyone has stated. the depth of your background, your experience and expertise. we are very honored to have you here. thank you for your testimony. i wanted to talk about the section in dodd frank where it is required that banks would access deposit insurance and what if it, federal reserve discounts. an plain vanilla derivatives such as equity, to push them out, to separately affiliate them. this move would raise costs without significantly reducing risks to the financial system. when i spoke to ben bernanke, he has consistently stated that the federal r

i am not doing it as well as i would like to. i still go back to old habits and i still look for affirmation in ways i no longer really do need it or want it. but what i am trying to do now is say look at all the things i dill and needed and used in order to call myself a man. i don't need any of them. i now just to be a man on the planet and as i am getting closer to the end i would like to be able to not be so burdened so thank you for it ting. that is part of what i do in the beginning is bring him in with this burden and in spite of himself as one more cash i mean, this man rails for a very long time, rails and rails and rails. he can't even hear the truth when it is being spoken to him. he can't hear it. and then suddenly there is a point in the play when he begins to realize i have taken too little care of this, as i said, you know, and he decides to basically become a human being and the greatest of all tragedy happens which is the one creature who loved him for himself died in his arms. >> rose: queue know who was fascinat

this has to stop. >> here's what i would like to do. i'll sign on to your resolution if you sign on to mine. i agree with you. but my resolution is to bring some of that power back to the unions and the private sector with new and better leadership and have someone to stand up for private enterprise workers once again which we've lost. if you'll go for that i'm with you on the public sector. >> sabrina, it's not up to me to provide good leadership. the private unions can't provide it for themselves. the fact is we have to deal with this crisis now otherwise chicago will go bankrupt just like detroit did. >> you're absolutely right. 2342011 the journal of finance found if you combine all state unfunded liabilities from public employee pension systems, somewhere between 3.2 and $4.4 trillion obviously state budgets cannot handle that and i think it's something that the firefighters and teachers and policemen ought to, you know, be aware of. the ft is we want people to be compensated fairly but governments have been lying, have been overpro

i would just make a couple corrections. also the art project director is here. there is no 5,000 square foot penthouse. i don't know what she's talking about. there are a lot of disparate comments. if there is something bothering you, i can correct the facts if you have specific questions, otherwise i would prefer to have the zoning administrator explain to you his decision. >> good evening members. i'm gordon, the attorney for nevada state. we have owned the property since

even contemplate another relationship i would be a negative self imposed i would just retreat don't you know as it does the engine is you know i have such a rich full life i'm such a lucky guy no i really don't in life they taught me there's four levels in life god your wife your children and whatever it is you do for a living most of my life i've had that kind of side down right well in music i'm going to give it to you the right way to do it songwriter is first artist record label in the technology that plays that music. right now if you look at it. technology is running everything which all they care about is selling their widgets or selling their their space the record labels who own all the copyrights are having to do whatever they say to get it done which puts the artist third and when you put the songwriter on the bottom the music's naturally going to suffer due to any one of you have a problem be it early you get the problem for the i got a lot of trouble in both younger guys both of us did i mean i i don't know if it was so much the fame that caused me to take the road i did

i would like to see some urgency on this because this is serious. i appreciate your efforts and the activist and the media attention to this and the bike coalition. i like to thank the independent media such as san francisco guardian that brought this to our attention earlier and so forth but i would like -- i would be happy to see a followup and commitment on this and i appreciate your time. thank you very much. >> thank you, sir. next speaker, please. >> good evening. everybody. i'm a community organizer working hard with a great group of pedestrian on our safety campaign. this safety issue tends to be more of an issue in san francisco, but in low income areas. we feel ignored by the law enforcement when it comes to public safety issues. and i like what someone said today is we need to change the cultural understanding regarding this idea of these fatalities being accidents or crimes. we need to take it more seriously in the way that it affects everybody and holds the people who are causing these fatalities responsible. but also we're hoping that l

i did not think i would be doing what i am doing. and i went to journalism school and they were teaching me the first week the triangular paragraph. so you know a little information, a little bit more information and sum up and no opinion. they didn't want an opinion. so that was it for me in journalism school. >> rose: if you had opinions you wanted to express. >> it hadn't formalized in my mind that obviously that kind of journalism wasn't for me. i was-- if hi had more gumption probably would have wanted to be in a drama school, in a drama school as i took film and i took directing. but i never had the gumption to take acting, which is what i really wanted to do? >> rose: why not? >> i just didn't think i could do it. i would do it in private but i just couldn't do it i thought i was better off as a director. i did a play by the automobile graveyard and i gave myself a nonspeaking role as the director. i played to my strengths. >> rose: when was the first big moment as a musician? >> oh, that's interesting. the first thing though

>> >> what would be the approximate motion to accomplish that? >> i think the motion would be to release the document as redacted by miss herrick. before we do that, this was calendared as a single agenda item. i do take mr. menat shaw's point that they are separately enumerated within item no. 4. but i do think we can take them together. is that right, mr. givner? >> yes. >> okay. although it is sort of difficult to not take them in order. let's make the motion on whether or not to release the three pages as redacted by miss herrick. is there such a motion? >> so moved. to release the documents as redacted by miss herrick. >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> opposed? hearing none, that motion passes and the record should be produced as redacted. as a result of having produced -- agreed to produces the record as redacted, i think we should address the issue of whether the failure to release these documents was a willful violation of the sunshine ordinance. i think i have given my view that in light of the effort we made to review all of these docum

when i would join you peter i think we we're we're seeing the diplomacy in the case of iran and hopefully that will move forward and will be able to hold back those regressive elements in the u.s. congress that don't want to plough mysie and then i think in terms of syria there's going to have to be a lot of efforts and diplomacy whether they'll be successful who knows and in my little way i'm joining with women's groups from around the world we're going to be at the talks in switzerland in january hundreds of us surrounding the building and saying we want a ceasefire we want women at the table because if there's going to be diplomacy there's got to be women at the table and we want a massive amount of humanitarian aid which should go with the diplomacy so yes i wouldn't institutionalize you peter i would be right with you saying twenty fourteen must be the year of diplomacy came away and on that i mean could we see more diplomacy because iowa express my own personal opinion here is that i've often wondered why over the last twelve years we have a secretary of state

and i read that if you had sneezed, you would have died. i'm simply writing you to say that i'm so happy that you didn't sneeze." [applause] and i want to say tonight i want to say tonight that i too am happy that i didn't sneeze, because if i had sneezed, i wouldn't have been around here in 1960, when students all over the south started sitting in at lunch counters. and i knew that as they were sitting in, they were really standing up for the best in the american dream and taking the whole nation back to those great wells of democracy which were dug deep by the founding fathers in the declaration of independence and the constitution. if i had sneezed, i wouldn't have been around here in 1961, when we decided to take a ride for freedom and ended segregation in inter-state travel. if i had sneezed, i wouldn't have been around here in 1962, when negroes in albany, georgia, decided to straighten their backs up. and whenever men and women straighten their backs up, they are going somewhere, because a man can't ride your back unless it is bent. i

i would like to comment because i will suggest that we take dr. let me explain why. i believe that the expansion is large and -- the building is not unreasonable and i agree with the design review since this project is code compliant. it does not do anything exceptional or extraordinary. when i looked at the drawing no. 310, together with the alternative set of roof plans which the applicant has provided, i would like to make the following comment. on the proposed drawing, 3.10, i believe the 3-12 is too flat a pitch. i believe the alternative drawing alternative 3.1 is too steep a pitch. that is a 12 x 12-pitch and excessive and alien to its neighbors. what i would like to suggest is we consider a pitch of 6 x 12 which makes it steeper and brings it to a slightly more slender building expression particular with the caveat that we would hold a roof overhang and trim at a consistent line. we get a slightly steeper pitch which is a 6 x 12 and i do believe it will be a better looking building. that would be my first suggestion. it's very easy to draw a 6 x 12-pitch. i w

i would like to get to public comment and i don't think any of us expected that this discussion would take so long. but let me say a couple things. first of all, yesterday at land use we had a lengthy discussion about this and as supervisor avalos knows, and i think others were not prepared to support this legislation without the amendments that have been made today. but given that these amendments have been made, i do feel much more comfortable in moving forward, particularly having addressed the data issue, the omi issue and the ellis issue. that being said, i do very much have sympathy for our colleagues that were not on land use. and let me suggest the following perspective and i discussed this briefly with supervisor avalos yesterday. supervisor avalos has spent months trying to get this through the process. it's been a lot of work. and i think we all recognize the issue and interest in getting this done before the holidays. that being said, this is a very complicated piece of legislation and it has taken the three of us on land use some time to wrap our brains around this so i c

i will hold that against him, but i would like to welcome him onto the stage.
