german, and korean, and igbo and i mighting mispronouncing that, chinese, french greek, and sayan and we even have one officer who is fluent in american sign language. that group of officers that we have, each one has a very good base of framing and experience, and we also have a group of officers who have a specialized skill sets. and the most importantly, at the top the crisis and intervention trained officers and we have 15 of those, drug recognition experts and 19, and 22 field training officers, and two coalition trained officers and officers that are bicycle trained to have experienced robbery abatement to peer support to paramedic and the san francisco police officers at mission station and then one officer who is also trained in video retrieval and that will be used most commonly when there is a crime and we will always look for cameras if there are any recordings and we also try to get that video evidence as soon as possible. traffic safety, of course, is very important. it is a big, big part of our public safety mission. and having 32 members who are collision investigation

and left and right. and so thank you. >> and is there any other people wishing? >> come forward. >> those are just the only names that i have on the list. >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is john, and i am here with them on the water front, and also, i have been in coming to the room not as much lately and i have been in and out, and for a decade, the first project that i was involved in, and it was the mills ro ject which was proposed to the piers 21, i just want to thank diane for the incredible amount of work that she has done and i want to speak to the commission and the top staff and because you set the policy, and as, the mills project showed and commissioner brandon you were for and a washington project showed which you were all for and the voters were rejected by 67 percent, and prop e showed and because it took the height limit, and the rezoning and up zoning of the limit, and the method that the port is used and the majority of the people in every neighborhood in the city and not just by the water, and they disagree you. >> and and whether this

and safety and noise and traffic use and the odor, control and we definitely are looking at a state of the art system and we have not landed on one and here is an example of something that exists in bright water, which have been able to achieve the zero odors behind the fence line which is our goal as well. to walk you through the analysis process, we started with the world of opportunities, and the options and we looked at everything that was out there in the bio solid world today and there, narrowed that down to four to five valuable alternatives. and we then took those four alternatives, and one subset, and then, we did a further detailed analysis and got it down to two and then put them against each other to come up with a recommendation that we are moving forward with deeper analysis in order to conclude our alternative and analysis report. >> did you say scrub? >> yeah. >> so, we wanted to walk you through the alternatives that were considered. and but not advanced and in that kind of opening world of options. and we did look at aeroibic digestion, being the process that happe

ended up in the tl, and substance abuse, and drug abuse, and homeless and sros and other places. and when i am in that area, and i am driving by or catching a bus down in that area, there is never a time that i don't see, a lot of the folks that are out there, that i don't know. that are not my friends that i don't say hey and wave and so on and so forth and in many instances i interact with those, i need a job, i need support, what can i do? well the job one stop, in the western edition, community is not just for the western edition, community, it is for anyone who is a san franciscan, who is looking for an employment opportunity, and i am out there, on the corners, and pushing people, to show up for these opportunities, and we have through the eoc and townsend and his work and getting the people the job opportunities who basically decide, you know what? i am ready and i want to do it and i am going to show up, what do i need to do and we have led them step by step, and not only that, we have city job opportunities funded readily available for them, and if they basically get to

supervisor tang, and chair, and cohen, and chiu. we are so excited to be here this morning to present to you what we think is a successful model and we know that we thank you all for your leadership on this issue. and we think that this is a model that can actually work and change the tide and equity and inclusion in this city and in particular with the respect of african americans to participate in the higher wage and growing industries and also, coming out that this has been a cross racial coalition, and we think that it is a model secondly for that, that it is across a group of stake holders and who are outside of the government. and that have successfully implemented or started the implementation activities for something that is persist ent in the city. and so, we will move to the presentation. and the general structure that supervisor cohen mentioned is that i want to give the different information on the contributers in the background and we will give a little bit of a supervisor breed in particular, less of the data and so we

the water taxis, and excursion boats, and business opportunity and fisherman's wharf and through the alkatraz service that have grown during this time and as we were talking about in the delta, and audrey, we had, very healthy, harbor services industry, that still resides, up and down the water front as well as the port's maritime efforts to advance, the shipping down on the southern water front. and with respect to the open space, there has been, over 63 acres of new parks and open space, that have been created along the water front in the last 17 years, that is in addition to the public access that is created in the development projects like at pier one and piers one and a half and three five, and these are the kind of those pearls on the necklace for the open space system that is promoted in the water front plan that provide, organizing and places where the new development is also encouraged to congregate, so that the public will have a place, to enjoy the views, and enjoy the open space, and as well as, a variety of activities for entertainment, and pleasure. again, we have focus

and pines, and (inaudible) too. and i am also a member of the chamber, african american chamber of commerce and the naacp and i comment all of the things that have been happening but my question is actually, where is the money? and how do we get it? into the small, businesses like myself that we have started, and into the community? several of the people that have, and the residents that we serve, have barriers such as felonis that need to be experienced and they don't have high school diplomas and things along that line and so we are trying to make sure that at least, we can get them into these jobs, and then keep, the people that are claiming that the jobs are there, accountable, so that we want to find some type of way that we can find out why, they don't get the jobs, and they get jobs and they try to get them. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please? >> good evening, supervisors, only got two minutes and so i am going to be kind of rapid, i want everybody to relax and i am not going to point no fingers at nobody.

and had numerous nieces and nephews and leaves behind her father, her brother and sister and her good friend, patricia jackson and left a great legacy with all of us and she will be greatly missed and so i wanted to take a moment to recognize that she has departed us. so thank you for that. >> and that concludes my report. >> any public comment on the executive's director's report? >> seeing none, commissioners reports? >> commissioner? anything to report on? >> and just that the two very brief things. one is that i just want to reiterate the public celebration in honor of dr. mimi, and i hope that you will all be able to join us and attend on september 8th, as the executive director mentioned it is free, and i think that many of you are well aware of how visionary dr. solber g and the street were when they located the facility on the water front and so it is exciting to see what their sort of toe hold here brought forward and now looking at it and seeing the changes and so i think that it was really a very opportune time of the 20th anniversary of having been in that location and the

i can tribute out to the sheriff, and the department, and i am very happy and pleased and i am sure that most of our people are happy that ross is the boss, i mean that he is the sheriff. and that is the boss. and i am very much appreciative, that he comes from our district as you may know, supervisors and he has done a wonderful job in the eight years, back in the years we had the most, highest crime rate, homicide, rate, and to have a man like that that knows exactly, sincerety of the community and in the sheriff department is an outstanding thing, but one thing that i want to say is you know i am very much ashamed of this administration, i am ashamed at ed lee, he was with me and we worked together with the hrc and it is no mystery, and all that you got to do is check your history. a lot of conspiracy and that is why i am here today. and i walked through the down stairs, and the first thing that they say is that i feel that the... (inaudible) the building and am i really that important now? i guess that i have been around for 25 years. and i sheded some tears and i am here to tell you

. >> and thank you for being here today, again. >> and good morning, the share and supervisors tang and chiu, i am the director of city audits for the controller's office and today kat is with me and she is an associate audit or in my office and i am here today to present our office's first annual report on recommendations that the departments still have not implemented more than two years after they were issued. this is a new step that we have added to our process for following up on the recommendations that we have issued. and as a reminder, the benefit from the audit work is not only in its findings and recommendations, but in the actual implementation of the corrective actions, by conducting the follow up it helps us to insure that the departments are implementing change, and it further inchances the accountability of auditties and city agencies and management and also allows us to openly assess the value of our work. >> our office gets two kind of follow up work, regular and follow up and we do regular follow up, for all recommendations for two years, after they are issued. and the

and surplus of sf as and reductions over claims and the estimated increase in the 205 budget and the increase for interest, and performance guarantee and the forfeit turs played by blue shield and the reduction of the transfers into the general fund, in terms of the general fund, and administrative budget, based on the results of the first eleven months, this is again, is the fact that we are equally included at this point to 12 months, but the things bounce around a little bit and there is a balance of 908,000 dollars for the end of the year and now this is really unprecedented. don't get excited that we will not have this next this current fiscal year. we have had a significant amount of hires that were delayed, and that is rebuilding in about, 619,000 dollars of lower expenditures for personal services and benefit and we are staffing up. and we expect to be at staffing levels, of positions approved through the end of 2013, 14, and we expect to be there the end of october, and then, we start for the hiring for the new positions that are approved in the current year's budget, and al

and residential and generates energy, that is then turned into cng and fuels and the public fleet. food waste, definitely produces a lot more energy, by virtue of the process. and, so there is a lot more positive to it. and our challenge as we look forward is actually to handling of the food waste. you know, again today, the city has a contract with them to actually pick up the food waste, and recology has indicated that they do not have the capacity to segregate the food in the city and so they transport it by truck and they are planning to build a digester in vacaville and to feed the fuel of the truck that are being used to transport. and so we have the capacity, for high strength waste, and if we were to get a full high strength waste, we can certainly process it, but challenges that we see, and that we have seen everywhere including in oslow is for the high strength waste to be effective it needs to be 100 percent organic and there needs to be a diligent process prelined to be sure that none of the organic processes have been taken out, the most common are forks and knives and

and they will be oversight and so that is the long and short of that. and hopefully in the interim between now and just recess and september, second which is the first full board meeting we will not have any more changes to the agreement that was made. and so cross your fingers on that. i wanted to just keep you up to date on the late night transportation and really, we sort of started to call it the late night and early morning transportation plan. we had one full as a mentioned before, one full task force meeting and we have had the working group meetings and we are working on a survey and by and large, what this is, is a needs assessment that will then sort of yield a report at the end of the six months to the board of supervisors, pretty much to then, keep stepping forward, and in terms of what changes, you know, need to be made locally and then regionally. and so we have another meeting with the working group or the staff level tomorrow, and then, september tenth, i think, is the next task force meeting. and president tan is in the list, and above

and so before you the contract, and it explains what it is and the term, and the commissary, a small 7-11 for people who are incarcerated. for us we are able to reconstitute a contract by letting go to the former corporation that we contracted with and that was aramark by initiating with a new company that this department has not been in business with before. if you turned to the inmate benefit page, next one, the graph on the right, the blue and the red graph, i think shows a pretty stark contrast of what it takes for somebody in the old contract verses the new contract of what they would be paying when money is put on the books. so, for example, if somebody is putting on the books to buy those commissary goods, they would have to spend essentially $5.70 more for every $20. and so that those commissions fees and charges that is the kind of revenue that the family and then, the inmates and themselves would have to be burdened with and shoulder. and by us revising the contracts we have been able to reduce the rates, by upwards to 40 percent, which we think benefits everybody. and the

and guards would soon come and take him away and punish him. probably not execute him but beat him up which was a common way of punishing people. shin listened even more. and he heard his brother mention the world escape. and his heart started to pound. he became very, very upset and very afraid because of these rules. if you don't report an escape you would be escuted. and then he heard his mother talking about the conversation and talking about escape. shin listened for a while and it was clear about trying to escape the plant and the rice she was cooking was food for flight to take and eat after he was out of the camp. shin got up, told his mom he had to go to the bathroom and went out and found a guard and went to a classmate and said what do i do? and they said we should report them. when he reported this he was thinking how can i turn this to my advantage and asked the guard if he could have more food as a result of his snitching and if he could be made class leader; a position that allowed him to do less work, have fewer beatings and may

and some years it is early, and some years it is late and some years it does not materialize and some years it is overwhelming. when you look at the collective record, it is a broad swath around that median. and this is the kind of data that we frankly need to keep on collecting on a routine basis so that we can start to look and see if there are longer term trends and in this case, 2014, we just caught up with 2007. those were both within the last few years, you know, not too bad and they were in there and 2010, which it does not show here which was a big year, we had a very big year in there. and it was constant throughout the year and there was no, and there were no particular ups and downs, it was just a steady flow and so early to draw conclusions on this but this is something that we will continue to look at and one of the things of a task that we have under way is working with a number of climate specialists to try to take the global change models and bring them down to the regional level, and directly to the local level for operations and that is work that should begin late th

and the community and taking the idle time they had and giving them jobs and will lead to careers and changing the perception of the community and realizing they're hard workers that they're part of the community. this course is in the community and allowing them to work together and i am completely supportive of it. i believe they're hard working people and bringing people together and help the youth and the community to succeed and have a long thriving career. thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker. >> good morning commissioners. i am rodney hampton and i want to say i am definitely in support of glen eagles. born and raised -- i am a product of the san francisco housing authority and i am 41 years of age and i remember being in the area and my mom and me and the kids -- brothers and kids running down the street, nothing to do, broken glass, boarded up houses. kids killing folks and kids don't. >> >> >> >> folks killing folks and kids don't have those experiences and i would do and throw eggs at the golfers and i attended cleveland and 40 years later i have the opportunity to teac

appear and on supervised promise to appear and go through the pretrial and have a case manager and i believe that in the court electronic monitoring but it will be at the individual's expense. >> so you make the argument to support having one to be put on the electronic monitoring. and what assessment do you use? >> we don't currently have a tool which is what we are trying to develop. >> and you have made judgments. >> we have to make judgments >> we have to make judgments and how you will... >> sorry? >> has it failed you in determine of the judgments that have you made? >> well... >> the people that are offending were released? yes. >> and how long has this been happening? >> for as long as the criminal justice system has been in existence and that is largely been done without a tool which is why we are pushing so hard on the office in multiple fronts and the scientific measures for how we do our work, rather than relying on human instinct and the years of experience in the office to make those determinations and because you get the different out comes from that. >> and but you ca

lisa pamela, and david, and mitchell. and some of the benefit an lasts who are going through line by line and the member guides and were working with the consultant through aon. and making sure that all of our open enrollment materials are in the mail by september 29th, but that is to be put to bed to the printer to be printed and collated by august 25th. so we are on kind of a time crunch, but the team has come together and is working really hard. and i want to thank them. also in july, we had a huge influx in person visit and we think that it is largely because of the new life insurance benefit that was negotiated for sciu so the people had questions, but they also wanted to come in and turn their beneficiary form in, in person but if you actually look at the bar graph it shows that we had as many people that we had in the previous open enrollments and while it is usually a slow month, august, ended up being pretty busy for member services. i wanted to call on with your permission, stephanie fisher who is our wellness m

, and somali and kenya, and sudanese. thailand. it's happening everywhere. are the u.s. and world powers doing enough to help. >> well, i think the response is different according to the country concerned. the international response, and in particular the u.s. response to the syrian crisis has been extraordinary, and there has been an extreme amount of resourcesed" to the operation. the middle east is a volatile region, and it's a great interest to the united states, whereas if we take for example the central african republic, which is probably a country that most american citizens haven't heard of or don't know too much about, it's much more difficult to raise funds for a country like that that doesn't have the same importance as a country like lebanon. >> some of these refugees are not crossing the nearest border but going enormous distances, some overseas, and some as far as australia. we have seen hundreds this past year die in the mediterranean when their overcrowded boats sank. and oftentimes, once they get to the p

and not tomorrow and we need immediate action and we looking for support and revitalizing and reshaping the community park. thank you rodney hampton. >> thank you. >> anyone else that wants to make general public comment? seeing none this item is closed. we are now on item five which is the consent calendar. is there anyone that would like to make public comment on the consent calendar? seeing none this item is closed. we need a motion. >> is there a motion. >> so moved. >> second? second. >> all in favor? any opposed? so moved. >> we are now on item six, the san francisco zoo. >> good morning. tanya peterson commission of the san francisco zoo. commissioner wei congratulations. i hope your daughters like the zoo as well as the park. okay. so if i can have the powerpoint please. am i good? we have started a new fiscal year so let me -- july 1 and let me give you where we are after one month. july as you can see we are ahead of projections by nearly 3,000 visitors so we're starting the fiscal year off on a great foot and we know we have one free day a month and in august it was record br

, and green, and he would see orange, and then he would say wow. he could take a problem of no matter what magnitude, and he could distill it down into some facts that he could communicate it so that anybody could understand it, and that is a unique skill. we could have nobel scientists in any subject coming in two weeks from now, and we could not get him to hit a lick at a snake for the first 13 days. we would not do anything, but on that 14th day, you would see books from the white house library stacked up this high on his desk, and he reads like that old evelyn woods reading course. i do not know how many of you remember that, but so quick that you cannot believe he can retain it, and then he would call people on the periphery of the subject, and you would look at his phone logs that night, and he will have talked with people you just couldn't believe. [laughter] but people would come in -- for the first 45 minutes, he just listened to them, but the last 15 minutes, he would say something so profound that it would make you so proud that you coul

valley and it should exit stage right and it has set the stage for us. 50s and 60s and i doubt these change because almost everybody says they are cloudy. 57 caster valley, 60 brentwood and walnut creek, the delta breeze has no problem here. 28 gusts at 33 and that's an extra hold there. third on the hair spray, also west at oakland, west for many, and that low will keep a fog bank in place and there will be some sun breaks. windy, blustery at times, well below average, 60s closer to coast and bay. here is sal. >>> i want to show you a crash that is blocking all the lanes right now. there is a crash that happened here and you can see all of the lanes are blocked, nobody is getting through, west 80 at ashby avenue and it looks like a car went off the end bank. and -- embankment and now three vehicles are involved and emergency vehicles are just showing up to the scene and nobody is getting by. you can see westbound 80 is completely blocked here and pretty soon we will have a huge backup coming down the east shore freeway and i'm not sure but at least now they are letting cars through

in, and so we have the access to the people and the promoters and talent agencies and whatnot. and so it will make the most sense to those style. >> helpful to know. thank you. >> yes. >> other questions for..., well is this the end of your presentation. i don't know if there is additional people. >> why don't we get everything out here. >> we will call you back up. >> thank you. >> thank you, again. now i would like to introduce john winsor from sis security. >> good evening commissioners, my role is your logistics and providing a solution to the village, and from a functional standpoint and i will start with the function, it is that we have done, over the last eight years, just under 70 corporate event properties, and some viable today and some no longer. and out of that, we have a proven base of personnel, and to build an appropriate team for the events that they have. the one that was the most similar is city view over at the metrion and for these events are for the corporate customer. and as some of you know, we designed each solution, per the client, and not just a buildi

and they got in on the ground floor and got the good deals, and they turned these, their cronies and their relatives into billionaires. there was enormous corruption. and then they blocked everybody else economically and politically. you couldn't really run for office unless they wanted you to run for office, you couldn't win very easily, you could easily be jailed for complaining about the situation. the corruption was so bad in these regimes that economists think that it took between one and three points a year off of economic growth. well, if tunisia or egypt had grown 3% more a year than they did, there might not have been such a big economic crunch. and at the same time, you had all of these young people coming up. the population of egypt doubled between 1980 and the present. imagine how many -- they added a whole new egypt of young people, of millennials. and they didn't add a whole new egypt worth of jobs or of economic or political opportunities. so these young people look at these regimes, and they see them as a roadblock that needs to be removed if their country's ever goin

we go on and on and on and on in this. so the challenge is we are living in a much more interesting state than he was. and that is the lesson and those that have the national security state that is on your and the spies are operating on the inside and you thought you could rely on us, but not at all, they are cowardly and complacent and who do you rely upon there. and that is who he was wrestling with most of his life. and so the next thing you know, george wanted him out of the clinker in paris. and this includes their critique of george washington is so unrelenting that he has pulled this on the demagogue and nobody talks about george. he chopped down the cherry tree. nobody talks about george, he sacrificed and waited a minute and let's tell a story about george washington and especially his view is not just people. and they were talking to and these are my brothers and yours and these indigenous people, that is a vanilla brother named thomas paine talking that way. we don't even have been talking that way with indigeno

i'm brenda buttner, and here are the bulls and bears. here they are, jonah max ferris and sasha byrnes and john mayfield. and john, it is time to use e r every resource to seal the border up to keep the terrorists out? >> yes, look at what happened at 9/1 9/11, because "the new york times" said it cost us $3.3 trillion and not the mention the loss of life and the soldiers that will have injuries recurring throughout their lifetime, but these guys are not like the taliban who got lucky with the box cutter, because these arec+6÷ well fund ed and trained terrorists, and you have a bunch of people in mexico who are used to coyoting people across the border. we have to security that border. it is not about refugees, but we have to secure it. we should take the military bases,b and we secure the borders in pakistan and afghanistan, and we should do the same in our own country. we should put the bases there and let the guys patrol the borders and sleep in their own country in peace. >> and it is not that they are just so sophisticated, but the

rule, and -- >> what would happen with you and dodd and frank? i mean. >> well, i like mr. frank and mr. dodd. >> well, he was -- >> well, i know both of them, and they are very nice, but. >> and you know, people are looking at this, charles, and saying, you know, i don't believe that -- we hear it a lot, but i don't believe that we are are of how close this was close to nuclear. >> and adam, the idea that the banks have you covered, and wasn't that the -- the fdic, and that is by the way,our account that we showed at the beginnings. and also, these are dry runs. dry runs for something bigger. >> ultimately. >> and i know that. i believe that. >> amend it is reconnaissance if you will, and go and see what you can get. >> oh, no, i believe they are direct. >> and one thing is, and i have looked into this dodd frank, young man and i looked into the details and in one case, what they did is to get into the experiment of how you could make an account disappear and pull it back, and experiment again and pull it back. and experiment and pull it back ag

and the women and children. horrible, back to you. >> just horrific, greg, thank you so much. >> president obama said america will help fight off the isis terrorist and provide humanitarian aid. but the president maintains that there will be no american boots on the ground. he said it is ultmately up to iraq to solve its problems. wendall goular live in martha's vineyard. that shed sun light on priorities. >> reporter: the mosul dam is a critical piece of infrastructure and the failure would threaten the baghdad and u.s. embassy and that fits in with the president's condition with using force. the president suggested that missions like that will be led by kurdish and iraqi forces. >> we will continue air strikes to protect our people and facilities and iraq and increased military assistance to iraqi and kurdish forces fighting isiowa l on the front lines and we are urging iraqis to come together to turn the tide against isil and seizing the opportunity of forming a new government under the leadership of prime mi

and so we were really excited about that and jackie hosted a dinner and a tea and maybe from that i should let jackie take over and tell you about the coverage that we received. >> thank you. >> thank you, so much. >> what we will do is start the clock over. >> sure, thanks so much. >> yes, we are very fortunate to get the nice coverage on the building as a result of our efforts with the building and with jek fer george the grand daughter. one of those was actually from the chronicle and so that is in your package. really nice coverage from them about the building and what we are trying to accomplish as well as coverage from the library, from some of their historic departments and the chronicle has agreed and i heard yesterday, from them, that they are going to come back and do a larger piece that will come out in the chronicle pink section later this month. and so we are really excited about everything that is happening with the building and we are going to continue to fight for the building. one of the things that came up was also, that from a number of landmark related people that came

and the brothers and the sisters. and then saw them in concert with the opening act being the commodores-- that was interesting. and then interviewed each of them separately. >> hinojosa: but let me ask you, did you at that point, did you realize that michael jackson could become this huge, international star? did you have a sense? >> oh, he already had a number of top ten hits. they were already quite big, and it was unquestionable that they were major stars. michael himself was a mega watt star. he was a brilliant performer. and this is... >> hinojosa: but he was a kid! >> he was only 13. >> hinojosa: he was a kid. >> he was only 13 years old when i met him, but he was-- and i described it in the story-- he was just so impressive. and not in a freakish way, but he was a kid who clearly loved the art form of performance and of singing, and had mastered it. the james brown spins and moves and the crooning and the blues kind of vocal style. he was so sharp and so driven to perfect his work that he already excelled in a

and concise and different approaches that could and should be taken and we arrived arrive at a consensus that's what the bill should look like to go to the floor with the southern border being over run giving false claims and these countries want their children back we are getting this and the president of the united states talking about this. >> and yes, he's inviting these folks in central america and it's done nothing in five years to bolster the economy and the government of those three countries and even now joining him in washington dc but without purpose and plan on policy as to how to rid those countries with the drug smugglers. >> jazz, and the traffickers and that is exactly right. jon corzine, those that have been in the working group, coming together with the policy of what steps should be in addressing these problems because they have done it in such a conservative and compassionate and thoughtful way and senator ted cruz and i worked on legislation to address this bill, which is the driver. and this is what so many of the coyotes are using. so we have all brought these issu

he would be convicted and then he'd be let go and he'd go back to mexico and he'd come back in and by the time the late 1980s and '90s had rolled around again, as i say, he had amassed this incredible record but the borders are meaningless and he would just ride the train up and down. at some point, he was suspected in at least a half dozen brutal, brutal murders across the south and what happened was local and state law enforcement officers in texas had put warrants out for his arrest and they asked ins officials could you please put this warrant information in your database? and here's the lesson about squandering money. we pay for a $65 million database called ident that ins has. c-span: i-d-e-n-t. >> guest: i-d-e-n-t, again one of these acronyms but it's basically a biometric fingerprint database and it's for recidivist criminal aliens, recidivist meaning they've come across the border several, several times and we fingerprint them with their index fingers and we take photographs of them and there's also a lookout portion of the database so this is where the warrant information is

and we watched as they tried to grab buses and grabs and culled ride share. others waited for the shuttles that muni was providing and come plaining of being hate to work. >> it is frustrateing. we have not had the issue for a while so hopefully it will be cleared soon. >>> the low he was not able to tell me at churchization how long the delays are and if the shuttle buses are still running but it will pick up from here. >>> one problem solved but breaking news is another problem if livermore, slow traffic because of a sig-alert. we have the latest from leyla gulen because of big rig crash. more lanes were closed but it is better. >> it is better. trust me, it is better. the tail lights headed toward the right position of the cent is worker traffic. it was a trailer carrying this temporarily that went over the side into eastbound lanes and obviously two ladies are still blocked eastbound recollection and that is until further notice but two big tows are on seen and they will get that off the road as quickly as possible but it is not easy dark. westbound lanes

and government soldiers. >> translator: my husband die and children and i could not survive there andn't pay us, telling us they didn't have money, so many people died there. >> reporter: since then the number of people living in the camps along the border has grown around to 120,000 and ironically living in a country with a military government following thailand's coup just over two months ago. in resent weeks soldiers tightened security at the camps following announcement they plan to start sending people back. most refugees along this stretch of the border come from just over the mountains there in the korin state and the national union fought for independence or autonomy for more than 60 years and recently signed a cease fire deal with the government but sporadic fighting continues. negotiations are underway for a nationwide cease fire and talks are being held with most rebel armies including the north where fighting has been particularly intense in resent years. those working with refugees in thailand say it's too early to send them back. >> in the conflict area there is no deman

i'm brenda buttner and this is "bulls and bears" and gary b. smith, and tracy byrnes and jonas max ferris and chuck rocha. okay. tracy, would amnesty for millions of illegals amnesty put more legal americans out of work this is. >> well, look, i can't believe this, but most of the people are on visas that are expired and should go back, and that is overstay, but we are not attacking that order, and for them to come out here to get jobs that legal americans are garner i garnering for hurts the system overal >> and john, a tough market for a very long time. what do you think that it would do to that labor market? >> well, yeah. i disagree slightly with tracy, because i don't believe it is going to hurt the job market that much, because most of the illegals here are working in some capacity and a work permit is not going to upgrade their status to sudden ly take americn jobs and if it did, competition is what it is, and come e pe pe stigs a good thing. i really believe that president obama does this. the second-termt president for the last 80 year

one camp that hamas should be supported and that would be iran and syria and hesbollah and the otherp much larger that said it is the fault of hamas. hamas should not again. and should have accepted the ceasefire palestinians are killed. united in the war against israel but divided in who will support hamas. >> what about the way israel is critized by countries and the way that the relationship between the united states and israel is playing out there in the arab media. >> the united states in this case has a problem in the sense that its allies are divided. usually what happens in the past hamas and israel engage militarily, the block of pro- american arab moderates get together and pressure them. turkey and qatar are allies of the united states. and versus egypt and saudi and jordan want a ceasefire and result not hamas but the palestinian authority. and so that complicates things for washington and that is reflected in the media as mentioned earlier. >> what about iran in all of this? what about the issue of iran backing hamas? >> iran is the regional winner so far in this game. i

and i would go in the park and hide in my wheelchair and people would just, on their bikes, go by andagement. and i felt more a part of the community even than i ever had before. though i have lived here all my adult life. >> rose: you know, it's a great feeling. because you realize that you touch people's lives that you don't really know. you know the music. you know the audience and the hall. and you know the critics who say good things. but you realize when you're in a place where you are, that what you do connects to their life. it brings something special. >> i never realized it to that extent. i was moved so much by their presence. they all said the same thing. come back, we need you, whatever it takes. ♪ ♪ ♪. >> rose: you have said, and i think you're saying here, that you found yourself psychologically in a state that was even better than before you were injured. i mean not just at your best when you were young, but even a better place. >> yes, it was better because i had all that experience and i had been through all that. and i had this experience which stopped me cold. and

and in appreciating its reason for being and its purpose and its responsibility and the duty it has assumed know then that all of us in this room have many things in common in spite of the fact that we have diverse interests and priorities in many ways. but we have at least two things in common, i think all of us, and the one is that for most of us in this room we are one of the first if not the first to do what we do. and for most of us in this room, if not everyone in this room, we do what we do because we believe truly in the magnificence of our country and are committed to fighting for its highest ideals at every step of the way. and so when i think about the purpose and the reason for being and the commonality that we share, i think of it also in the context of something we will commemorate or celebrate next week which is the 50th anniversary of the civil rights act of 1964. and in thinking about the civil rights act of 1964, 50 years later, we know it and remember it to be a product of a coalition of people who came together to the fight for the ideals of our country, for that promise

they understood the two sides, and pressed them hard and offered bridging proposals and solutions and it didn't simply stand back. and there's a question of whether or not the administration is ready to do that. it looked like kerry was moving in that direction, but found himself blocked by the intransgenerous of the palestinians and the israelis. >> in your opinion, is it fair to say that the roadmap to peace exists? the different maps have been brought up and agreements, and in principle, at lower levels on both sides, and the real issue is political? >> i think that's true. there's a mental map on the minds of the israelis and the palestinian side on the way this this could end. how you live with one capital for two states, and how you can allow a lot of the issues. so the population has a fairly good idea, at least a genital idea of how this ends. but the politics are so hard. the israeli coalition seems uninterested in negotiating and the palestinian politics are badly divide between fatah and hamas and the west bank and gaza, and you have the formality of knowing how it should p

everybody ate together and at one time a general viz iting and walked in and saw the officers and enlistedmen together and nobody saluting. he said, what in the world? we've got. if you would prefer to sit outside, we can set you up a he did and they did. he ate outside. right. i did get word we have time for two more questions. one here and one here and then we have to shut it off. >> okay. all three. it's been superceded. the three of you. let's go to you. >> a question for dick cole and a lot of people may not know there's famous reunions every year since the war of the doolittle raiders have a big famous reunion each year and a famous bottle of cognac that general doolittle purchased at the end of the war was supposed to be drunk by the very few remaining members of the raid. did you make it to the reunion this year and was the cognac finally opened and sipped? >> yes. it was finally opened. but they were kind of chintsy with it. [ applause ] >> the bottle is going to stay with the goblets that the air force museum. >> yes. >> that cognac was 1896. hennessey cognac. of course they were

and as a guy and a pilot.ittle bit to the human factors of the dragon flight deck to give us a little bit of insight? >> sure. the dragon has seven people, but it really is a commander and pilot. the commander and a pilot because pilot and co-pilot. so many thousands of hours. so they don't want to be called a co-pilot. a pilot and the commander. it's all kind of weird. anyway -- >> cr and. >> yeah. we call it ffrm. whatever. it's the same thing. so in dragon we will have a commander in the pilot. there is going to be -- and the basic mode -- and this is another thing that i could talk to you guys about all day. where do you draw the line between automation and humans? that is a debate that has been going on in both of our areas of expertise for a long time. and it is a debate that is alive and well. where we are at right now with dragon is, the primary mode of operation is going to be automatic, and it has to be because we're going to use exactly the same vehicle to take cargo of but no one sitting inside. so
