i am brian smith and i am an avid golfer lived in san francisco for 15 years. i primarily play out of glen eagles and sharp park and i represent a group that is interested in running the course. when i initially set out to work with this course it was because we thought there was a threat it would close and if it fell. through our experience i feel compelled to ask the city for a bid even if it doesn't close by the nature of the current operator walking away from his negotiations. nobody gets into a water dependent business during a drought because they think it's a great investment idea let me assure you. we're pursuing this because one as a taxpayer i can't stand to see a contract reassigned to a operator that clearly not taken care of the real estate he has leased to take care of. this is a city resource and apparently seems to be mismanaged and i urge the commission to look at the course, the property. everything else that has been spoken about today i agree with. we like good things. i think we can agree. i wonder where the operator has been for the prior

i will get someone else, so why not open this up for brian smith. this guy has a good team. he's got great greens keeper, two good partners with him. he has money to do things. he will give san francisco a good deal. why just give it to this guy? this is looking like the stole leg boot house and the mcclellan family there for 20 years. come on. that's what you're paid for. this is a city. it makes perfect sense. look at those photos and when you get home tonight go to youtube to his course cost and you will -- golf course and you will see every hole. what is a capital improvement? i played the course on the first day in 1962. 1962. this place is a dump. it's a golf course we're talk about. all the other stuff great. super. it's not going to change. if brian smith gets in there great. all of the stuff is not going to change if he gets in there. he will give you guys a better deal, a better deal. think about it. it's a golf course and this guy has a good thing to offer so think about it. >> thank you. >> anyone else who would like to speak? come on up. >> hi. josh [inaudible]

brian smith, nasa ames. 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

brian mitchell used to say. robert griffin's job might be easier saturday night. ravens coach john harbaugh announcing two starters, jimmy smith, webw won't play due to injuries. the back ups will be ready. >> it's going to be an opportunity for those guys to go against the best for a long period of time. those guys are among the best receivers in football. a great quarterback, you know the whole offense is very well stocked with talent. so it's going to give us a good chance to evaluate where we're at and give those guys an opportunity to prove they can play the best. >> and finally, our high schoolers, we're looking for the most spirited school in the dc area. nominations are in. it's time to vote.

smith. only a couple yards, though. so third down and about six coming up. >> brian: because if you're going to throw the ball in the seamt end, you have to control the outside corner with the wide receiver and he didn't run down field, so there was nothing to hold it down. >> dave: third and five. trickett. down field. juggled and incomplete. a big hit as jordan thompson got nailed by landon collins. see what the mountaineers to here on fourth down and five. >> brian: collins polices that back end for alabama. and he will make you pay. clean hit, shoulder into the chest. >> dave: he had already dropped the ball. he dropped the the ball before the contact. >> brian: you would have too. they're going to punt here. >> dave: again, that 20 yards, because of the holding pent was good. they would be in field goal range otherwise. instead, the punt. jones under it, and fair caught at the 12 yard line. so the mistake by blake sims does not hurt alabama. the tide still on top by seven early in the fourth. pick a work site, any worksite, and look over the fence. ta da! your next truck: ford f-150. the truck that's number one in t

brian just mentioned. and there is a division of united states colored troops under major general james steve mann. there were three divisions of undermy of the tennessee general andrew jackson smith. these are the people i will talk about briefly now for the next 30-40 minutes. of troops went by several names officially. as far as what they're officially designated, sometimes it was the right wing of the 16th corps and sometimes it was ps. thee 16th cor official designation was sometimes detachment army of tennessee, a very imaginative name. they were often called smith's guerrillas. shelby foote said that they called themselves aj smith's llas. ilas spelled gori have on more than one occasion had cause to regret that shelby foote did not footnote, no pun intended, his excellent work. i have not been able to come to that source yet, but i have a lot more sources to look at. i may be able to find some of smith's men referring to themselves as smith's guer orillas. they did refer to themselves as smith's guerrillas as well. i understand the kerry joyner ,as said that nathaniel p banks who had command over them among other troops in the red river expedition, referred to them as he m
