months that we have since we started this and reporting to you, and to show you the case and action and history. of the month. the other one is for the housing complaint activities and the last one is for code enforcement and complaint activities and i think that this will be helpful, and those will be graph up our activity here. for the month of february, building inspections performed were 4168, complaints received 221, complaint response within 24, to 72 hours is 193. complaint first notice of violations were 47. complaint receive and abaited without notice of violations was 102. and abaited complaintwise notice of violations were 50. and second notice of violations refer to the code enforcement as 20 and so out of these complaints, 54 percent were responded to within 24 hours. 33 percent was responded to within 72 hours, and 13 percent were responded to after 72 hours. and that gives us 100 percent response, for the complaint investigation. and i just like to add ever since june until now we have had 100 percent of these complaints response and i will have the first chief, and housi

and i have also 15 years previously and one in each and every year, and consist of 1,000 customers. and with a 90 over 90 percent return rate and when it comes to taxi, excuse me, limousine enforcement, and i would like a show of hands of cpu c does not regulate... and that is obvious, and when you look at a hotel, and a door man and a limousine that stands out front and i would like to city a show of hands that drivers regular that realize that they are not regulated in front of hotels so when it comes to the non-technology, and taxi, and excuse me, non-technology network companies. because they are not... >> thank you. >> they are not technical they are transportation. >> that is the name. >> thank you very much. >> ray sloan, i was one of the founders of the ride share association with the shuttle companies that shuttle people to and from td hotels and the neighborhoods. we have formed the ride share association in 1993 to protect the interests of the drivers, which are or were at the time were 300 and now are 400. and going to and from the airport and there is a highly regulated

and those are safety, and reliability, and pricing. these drivers are all suffering but one of the biggest points that have been missed tonight is the hotel business and the billions of dollars that are invested in restaurant and how many people are there employing in the city and all of those people, who are going to be paying, two or 300 dollars to get a room in the city of san francisco and in the coming years there will not be enough tax to service them, they will not come to the city of san francisco. and have to get a ride from one of these private cars, that is something that is going to lead to the demise of our beloved city of san francisco. and there are other issues here, but i think that is the big issue e to use financing assistance based out of houston lender and i participated in this program and got as far as being approved and the only thing to do was pick out which car that i wanted and i have to say that the idea of owning your own car and working when you wanted had a lot of appeal after years of being a cab driver.

buildings that are abandoned and registered and the city list of public addresses merge and purge and you would find most of the buildings in san francisco that are vacant and abandoned, thank you. >> sorry. the department of public health does exactly that with trash collection if it is a city address, and you don't have trash service and it is not a vacant lot they send you a letter and you have 30 days to reply or they sign you up automatically, that one person in the department does the whole city and very easy to do with a computer. thank you. >> hi, and getting back to commissioner about the supplies inspection at the svos and i am a frequent visitor to these places and so i can tell you that a lot of the tenants are not comfortable with that and they want to have a 24-hour notice and we had a inspection the other day and got a complaint that they never got notice on this and i just want to bring that across and i am sure that if you can catch somebody doing something wrong a lot of times these are existent and have been around for a while and i will tell you that and you need t

no idea who and why and 6 and a half, thousands and the same building in 2013 passed through it the other day and more citations on the... more violations on the door and another director's hearing and this is a building as a picture and i don't know if you can see this or not. the building on the main street in what they call the mendel plaza in the bay view and on the third street between oak view and palu and it has been empty for years and has to be registered by the owner and there is something about the process that needs to be addressed and that is new again, to look at the vacant and the ordinance and that abandoned building ordinance which was passed by this order of supervisors in 2009 and see what can be fixed in the process, and i would like to invite you to come to the bay view for a commission meeting and we have plenty office space and there was talk about not being able to hire people because you don't have room. we have room and we would like to see you, office in the bay view, please, thank you. >> could i ask a question about that property? just. >> just a point o

and lastly, will the afgan and u.s.government reach a bilateral security agreement paving the way for the international community to continue provided needed assistance. however what i really want to talk about is the issue that underlies all three of those questions. and that is the nagging issue of corruption. the consensus among everyone i spoke with in afghanistan over the last two weeks is simply this. allowing corruption to continue unabated will likely jeopardize every gain we have made over the last 12 years. in other words, rampant corruption may be the spoiler for 2014 and beyond. now, corruption in afghanistan is not new or is it unique. cgar has been highlighting concerns about corruption for a very long time. every one of our quarterly reports to congress has highlighted its threat, from the lewding of the kabul bank and the failures of the attorney general to prosecute senior official to the depravation caused by land seizures, extortion of the people and the loss of support for the government accordingly.

and administrators and universities. the majority would appear to harbor a positive aversion to the discipline of military history. interestingly not in great britain but the famous elite universities of our country. this is appalling to me. this is the grain of bread in my oyster and why we are here this evening. their attitude is the humane equivalent of indulging in aversion to the study of the causes of cancer because the study is unpleasant. the reason for the establishment for this than military history is to call attention to this most regrettable condition. and ironically the national appetite for military history invariably off campus is constant and voracious. sales of serious works of military history continue at extraordinarily high levels. and we hope that this award will be the beginning of a substantial remedy of the disease. the military history is somehow considered as right-wing or conservative. this is an utterly preposterous way of looking at the discipline. but it is deep-seated and it will not be re

it has historically stood at the crossroads not a season last but east and west and north and south and that is the ukraine's past and also going to be the ukraine's future and we tried to deal today with a russia run by a leader whose foreign policy seems dictated by a desire to poke a stick in the eye of the united states, i often think that this also means acknowledging that russia's future ultimately in this type of era is about immigration with europe and the west as well. frankly that was the direction that russia was heading until they took power. that conversation about how we realize that alternate paradigm is a conversation or another day. but when the senator and i went to them in december and stood up on the stage speaking to a million ukrainians would come down to protest the current government, they were there to talk about one concept with dignity about europe and corruption and for some it was about the violence. but for most people who wanted to store dignity to their lives and the ability to choose for themselves what the future is. that is why we are here to support t

we have a breeze helping a few. 30s and 40s and 50s in downtown napa. 50s and 60s and 60s and 70s, a little warmer oakland forecast 62 at noon today and 68 degrees. a northerly breeze is up above the caldecott and so there may be a hint of an offshore breeze but it is going to be sunny and nice today. 41 half-moon bay and 37 a breeze at fairfield and also antioch as well. nothing much compared to what we had yesterday. looks good for sunshine, sunny and nice, a cooler morning not too bad for others. wall to wall which means 60s and upper 60s and a few lower 70s, here is sal. >>> good morning, we are looking at traffic that is getting busier and you can definitely tell, and you can see it at the bay bridge toll plaza, we have a delay and a drive time of 30 minutes. most of the time it should be spent waiting and also we have some weighting at the bridge. let's go onto the 101 freeway and this is north 101 coming up to the 880 split. it is not stop and go and you can still get a drive time into the 280 split. if you are looking at the contra costa commute, we are coming in over concord

brandon and theresa and alex and my intern kim and sarah, and we do the best that we can with the resource s that we have with the funding from our city being the street beautification. it is a win/win program for our clients who want a structured program to go back to, clean the streets of north beach. can't be done in those alleys, et cetera. so, i just wanted to say thank you. in honor of the -- reason that i'm here, the women that have backed me for years and who are my mentors, ann hall stead, and jean mill i began, jeanette, julie christian son, janet crane, [speaker not understood], and just such strong women that have always been the leaders in san francisco, guthie stuart, they give me the impetus to keep going on. i look to them for counsel and i really appreciate and honor them for being part of north beach citizens and it's all about community. so, thank you, david. (applause) (applause) >> supervisor farrell from district 2. >> thank you, president chiu. i want to similarly echo your comments and congratulate all the women out here today being honored. also, sandy, supervisor

and for the unite united statese have well-known and long-standing restrictions on sugar and dairy, and there will be demand on us to at least open additional access to our markets through the granting of additional quota. and this has been difficult in the past. i recall on selig saying how he refused to give australia any additional sugar quota in the bilateral free trade agreement -- bob zoellick. even as a fig leaf, because of congressional opposition. and so this, in economic terms is almost insignificant in terms of the us agricultural economy and political terms, it is a very high-stakes game. >> any other comments? thank you. let me make a few points, first with respect to ttip and then tpp. it's funny because when my european colleagues come over here and whine and time, they don't think twice about what they are eating. and always enjoy the food. -- wine and dine. there's a lot of misinformation out there, including perhaps in particular on the gmo issue. one thing that both sides need to do a better job of come and i don't mean just governments, but all of us together, is mak

>> guest: though a pencil and then he would returned to the manuscript and rewrite and revise it andsend it back again and again and get to the point he would like to see what it looks like and pay first. then he would keep tinkering with that. i think it was perfectionism he wanted not only the style is to bstylus to beperfect but also te purchased because he's also many as having a purpose. then against the crusader and the regimentation and all that. he regarded these as having a great value for people to learn lessons from and he thought because of his stature as it affects the president into the resources that he has said he felt he was in a unique position to bring out to the american people some important lessons about the recent history. but he didn't quite let it go. he finished to the other book before he died and then -- >> host: you want to have a man with tremendous energy and the description of him going in and opening a can of campbell's soup when he's alone at 12 a.m. and then going off to write a little bit. he was correcting. do you think that he knew frederick haye

i know we have our questions and concerns and such. i don't really intend to speak on topic that to general -- but i was shocked at the statistic you shared momentarily and in your statement, you said it here as well, more 12th gratders today now smoke marijuana than cigarettes and we were all shocked to hear that. i heard about mixed messages and you suggesting that it's because they sense that marijuana has less consequences, fewer consequences than cigarettes. and it was just list than 60 days ago the president i think sent some confusing messages to the youth across the country. and his quote was well documented and he even says as it's been well documented. i spoked pot as a kid and view it as a bad habit in a vice. not different from cigarettes i've smoked as a young person. this was in the new yorker. you thought it would stop there. then he said, i don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol. and i mean that probably bothered you would imagine. you tape your job very seriously. does that make your job easier for more difficul

we sent out more and more soldiers and more and more soldiers, and the soldiers were just, they were not used to this. they had seen hard figging in the civil war, but they were not used to coming across a supply train where everyone's penis was hacked off, where the dead soldiers or live soldiers in some cases had been tied together and bacon was a staple of the frontier and barrels of bacon poured over them and lit on fire, brained gouged out, eyeballs gouged out, tom found a journal, might be the first time u.s. soldiers made a pact to kill each other rather than be captured by the indians. i mean, this is how foreign this war was to them. finally, general grant and general sherman said enough is enough. we're going to send out -- we're going to send out an army to fight red cloud. they were not going to fight on that, and they sent out thousands of mounted infantry. from the movies, it's calvary, and it was a mounted infantry, they were learning how to ride on the fly, and that was another advantage the sioux had. in the summer of 1865 alone, 3,000 soldiers combed, combed the wes

you supervisor tang and supervisor yee and our city administrator and public works director and staff is here. they're part of the magic as tammy said they're the sculptures because it's their little inside talent that pulled this off for me. over 10 years ago when we said look we could utilize the skill set of our city flez employees they took their time and came back and said by the way, that pole you used to have next to the restaurants we need a sturdy pole that won't fall down when the winds get tough and honor this for a very long, long time. i was out here mohammed and naomi said can we get a little facelift before valentine's day so you see the product of what john lay would do the same with the heads it's perfection from a historians violative i like taking over this boulevard for the right reaps and for all our doggie diner thufkz how about a clap >> thank you, everyone for helping all of us revisit our history and appreciate our neighborhoods and art and appreciate icons and all the things it means to us and while we can't take ourself back to the 1960s if they're good thin

and west and north to poland and south to muldova. this should be the decision of the ukrainian people, and i believe the administration must do far more to isolate russia diplomatically than it has to date. the treasury department should also make clear that the u.s. is on the lookout for russian enterprises, especially banks that are involved in illicit activities, such as the transfer of stolen ukrainian assets, but we must remember that the purpose of our pressure on russia is not simply to punish aggression and certainly it is not to escalate the confrontation but instead to move putin toward a resolution that protects the independence and the territorial integrity of ukraine. that is the goal all of us share. i urge all members to support house resolution 499 and stand with the people of ukraine. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the question is will the house suspend the rules and agree to house resolution 499 as amended? those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, 2/3 bei
