there is a part of the film that i point out where the association's associate rector gives -- associategets more money than they give out in scholarships every year. it is not just my opinion. the leading auditor or analyst for charities, i interviewed them, they found it troubling. i respect their opinion. if you say this is a scholarship dinner, if you say this is station -- on the tax form it says that scholarships is one of the primary object gives. -- objectives. to have your only employee make more than what you give out in scholarships looks bad. if they want to help kids go to college, or grad school -- that is the one thing that they have quibbled about. they sent us a huge e-mail, in response to the film, to clarify their finances. that aside, i would say most of them have been very supportive of the indexend takeaway. >> have they given you a financial breakdown? >> at is all public, and after the movie came out, i got their latest which supports the theory more. on the 2012 form they gave out $130,000 in scholarships. in 2013, the director got paid $130,000, and they gave aw

the white house correspondents association.i parsons of the tribune company. she talked about what she looked for. >> everybody gives you your opinion, but that is one responsibility traditionally that falls to the white house correspondent association president. i have been thinking about it for a long time. last two presidents were kind enough to let me watch their process and see how that played out. i am sure that i wanted to do. the chicago tribune is where i have worked for 25 years. i still work for tribune publishing. i just like midwestern humor. she is a funny, nice girl who says very cutting things in such a heartland kind of way. wait a minute, she kind of sliced me up there. i think that is going to be a cool thing to see from the podium. >> that was christi parsons talking about why she chose cecily strong to be this year's entertainment. any comments you would like to make what you would like to follow the tweets sent out by c-span or using #whcd and you can make a comment on our facebook page. there is the presi

my name is tim imert and i'm the vice president of the westward association. the association was incorporate in 1917 and serves 685 properties to the west of the bal bowa site. the western boundary of the site is contick tig ws to westward park. with the accelerated time frame for the ordinance we had informal discussion of neighborhood associations and decide westward park decided over the signature [inaudible] our presidents to draft a letter to clarify the membership of the committee. we look at these more as clarification, consistent with the proposed ord nns. looking at section 2, we use that to look at the key passages and if i may read section 2 b. insure success of development of the site city agencies must receive input from the individuals and communities that will be most directly effected, impacted by the project including residence, business and institution surroundsing the site. the 3 suggested amendments we make regarding seat 5 assigned to baloa park advicery committee, if the [inaudible] district 7 gets that saved. 6 clarification that the bus

and so through the discussion with both the grlg restaurant association and supervisor london breed's they're not doing the recognition of individual restaurants but changing to do an official recognize for restaurant week sometime in january to match the golden gate restaurant association eat drink sf program and for small business week we see for. >>again, numbers or number of small business that are nominated by the supervisors are rauntsdz so this was what way to match the acknowledgment of restaurant week association program so it is before you there's no reason not to recommend approval the golden gate restaurant is recommending approve >> do you know about this. >> i did not. >> (laughter). >> it sounds like that is the right thing to do it makes sense actually. >> it didn't preclude a supervisor from wanting to acknowledge a restaurant during but not an official program and dpw was the entity that was overseeing the official acknowledgment it didn't happen last year so this way it really lines up and mirrors what the golden gate restaurant association is doing during january.

as well hearing from progressives that work in the mental health field we hear from doctors and associate workers and lawyers and we hear about the detox programs so this crisis intervention course it gives us opportunity to get the preexisting training and maybe to hear perspectives of people that struggle with mental health and in such a way to empathize participates better ways to deal with people and i'm a big believer in this program as much it ultimately allows us to work in the field to go out and certificate people in a way that people are experiencing problems so our tucks we're on the beat everyday this is something we try to integrate to help the community and the captain spoke excelling lorpt how diverse the needs are in the district and i think this is every time open hate street we know our merchant and resident who have their needs and concerned but i think hates street because it is so linked to the summer of love and other exciting things hate street is a hushing for tourists there's tons of tour buses coming down the street hundred of people visiting the area i also thin

>> the ocean avenue associations does a lot of work on the corridor and the membership of that association, the mu jrtd of the membership is business people, so i want to make sure that we have a wide enough scope of the possibilities for business owners to participate in this and hat is why i didn't identify that association to name a business person because if you look at the membership it is really mostly residence. >> that you can, i have no further questions >> supervisor kim >> thank you. i want to ask a questions. it is my understanding this ordinance establishes a cac and if a member of a ocean avenue want to apply sfr the seats they are welcome to and there is a pauss where we pass the legislation where we determine who the membership is >> right, there is-most of the seats are fairly open to overlapping interest here. some of our real specific to a association, but one could be living at [inaudible] and be a business person. one could be associated with another education institution that will be impacted and within the district. there is a lot of potential and a lot of commitment

it's wonderful being associated with you. >> i have been practicing medicine for over 20 years, and i have never endorsed a product, either. >> really? >> and i just feel that this product is so valuable and so important that it's a privilege to be associated with it. >> in fact, i'm gonna take two now. >> well, i will add this, and this is one thing. 80% of our customers are women that call in to buy our product. the women are the gatekeepers of the family's health. >> mm-hmm. >> grandmothers are able to now bend over and pick up their grandchild when the grandchild's running towards them instead of saying, "no, no, no. grandma's back hurts." so, you have this aging society, this active society this active lifestyle, and everyone wants to move and breathe naturally. they want to be able to get up. they want to be able to walk. they want to be able to enjoy themselves. it is a life-changing product that is just truly one of a kind. >> and, by the way, they're so small that i just swallowed them without water. >> you have hundreds of people hundreds of family and, we call them employee

there was a director and an associate director. and at this point, i mean there's no inkling other than this is the international part of the national student association. and i got to sit in on sessions whenever my typing was finished and the baby was asleep. and it was fascinating. >> and during these sessions certainly the leaders has a chance b to see what the political opinions were of the people in the room they got to see the papers that they wrote certainly would have had ample sense of what the feelings of the participants were about american foreign policy right? >> uh-huh. and i learned much much later that we all lived together for six weeks in the storm but that was also the time period in which security background investigations were conducted on any student that they wanted to hire at the end of summer. >> so enthen what was the next -- then what was the next step? then your husband was contacted you were contacted? >> well, he was offered a position at the end of the summer on the middle east desk of the national st

runs the city can only be attributed to the fact that the fear of san francisco police departments association i guess a college kid has more courage press recorded this was a matter it happens happens all the time it was recorded that the e-mails and texts came to the attendance of the police hooish months ago why did they wait why did the police chief wait until they became public to - >> thank you. sir, your 2 minutes are up. >> thank you, sir. >> next speaker >> welcome. >> good evening. >> hi, i'm david burke i live in buena vista 10 years and helped the buena vista association two comments one we express our appreciation for the captain working with us to address issues an example a year ago a legal campaign on buena vista park that was making a big difference over the last 6 months there's an increase in drug related criminal activity opens north side of park the buena vista and hate street and that's creating unsafe conditions i guess 3 requests from the - if you could help. >> to maintain the current or increase the police there we know the boundary are - work with the 0 district atto

the condo association didn't own any property we can't cite a condo association no lot number for the condo association in other cities when condos are built a lot number and an additional lot number this is in this city we got a complaint that was followed up and notice issued there was another condo owner a complaint was called in with a separate lot number and separate address they were accredited also. >> certainly a persistent there is how resides condos downtown and when there's a sidewalks problem you don't go and approach you'll condo owners there must be some - >> when the complaint comes in there's one lot number that pops up we'll issue the notice on that and if because there is no clean way to do this and if the other condo owners felt that you know this condo owner was treated unfairly technically in the past we have have a - usually they won't want to incur all the costs they'll usually work through the condo association with that one condo owner to keep the costs for the whole building adopt it's not clean but in that situation it is klein two condo owners and two notic

[laughter] i think that we need to have a flowering of association. this is a room of people that feels connected, or seem to be a lot of connection as independents. it is not like no one wants to be connected. it is ok to be connected to people. i think that to be rigidly boxed in, democrat/republican that is it, that is not it. but if we can have a balance that allows association to be shown, to connections to be shown, that you can call it a party, but it is not rigid in their mighty in new one and a couple years -- that brings people in and makes people feel connected. i think there is a whole conversation to be had about how that can be put into our politics. watching states that i have talked to -- it starts, and you have a certain number of characters where it says you can say what you are connected. you can say your association. people are very creative about that. whatever they feel connected to. if we move that direction and allow more choices on the ballot, where we have a right to choice system to accommodate that choice, i think we have a

are going to have this space i noticed in the neighbor contact you reached to but the merchant association and back on commissioner perezs question about the process with reaching out to the neighbors just seeing over 20 signatures from people saying they're not been contracted there's needs to be more of a push. >> yeah. we terms of residential definitely we are a staff of 5 people we've think trying to raise money to open and like i said in the fast we're known for our community outreach it is really difficult to go through the process of getting this theatre off the ground we're trying to be as visible as possible and anytime people reached out to us we're immediately responsive we didn't do it specific e-mail the neighbors not having the contacts but through the abc we're issuing letters for people around the building. >> commissioner. >> i know when you were a dj do you have the fund in case you don't pass the sound like track you have that money set aside for the enforcement and we have contingency fund i'm sure what the exact costs of the increased sound progressively might be but c

and so he sent associate press secretary out to deal because haggerty was away. it was the president's third illness and as many years, and they did not buy that eisenhower was missing a dinner because he had a chill. they did not buy it. the king of jordan was in town , and he was not going to the dinner, and he had a speech and he canceled. the truth did come out and fortunately for the administration, eisenhower's stroke was mild and he recovered quickly. i think that it was just a difficult thing for them to know how to navigate. i do think that they told more truth than not and they were pretty honest men. and i think that at the bottom line, it is kind of tough on how much credit to give them. at the very least, they made clear that the president's physical condition was the public's business. i had a reviewer review my book , because that is what you do. and the reviewer said something like, in this day and age, they had to tell the truth. look at john f. kennedy. he did not tell the truth about his health. we did not know how sick john f. kennedy was and

. >> how about neighborhood outreach on your application it says the association is only organization you reached out to. >> we talked to the next door businesses and as well as banks and we invited everybody that came to the meeting about 10 people came in and asked all kinds of questions. >> and in addition to the bank and businesses did you talk about to normal everyday people. >> yes. >> okay any other questions or comments? okay. i think we'll say thank you and move on to sfpd to have them discuss our operation with usyour operation with us >> good evening, commissioners forgive i found out about this yesterday but familiar with the establishment excited to see new owners coming in nevertheless to say i did not get a chance to meet with them i'm not sure well, besides what they're saying how they will continue to run the business i received a call from the gentleman but unfortunately, i was business i want to set up a meeting so i can find out more about how they're going to run the stuff so thank you. okay so just the place of entertainment we are fine with that with the adequat

definition of interested party includes the permanent resident of the building and any homeowners association and the owner of the residential unit and nonprofit organizations that has a housing housing issues those are the parties that exist under the legislation those get tweaked and supervisor mark farrell adds permanent residents one one hundred photo and under supervisor campos he add adds that but desolates the owner of the unit and i'm sure if there's a change to the interested party in kim and breeds. >> owners should be included if you're going to have you'll see groups including someone next door i'm not how it causes harm. >> whether the owner should be included will come up. >> this is the one that doesn't have the owner. >> correct a resident or owner. >> there's - supervisor campos is proposing to take out opener from the definition just a party we're not dealing with that question right now. >> so owner is in this. >> correct. >> commissioner moore. >> mr. star can you give a little bit more explanation but supervisor farrell and supervisor campos wanted to duplication of what

and it goes to the chief editor who assigns an associate editor to handle the paper.ave to find three to five reviewers who would be viewed to be nonbiased to review the paper. usually the person writing the paper suggests three names and the editor or the associate editor can assess whether those names would be ok and then they pick some others from outside. it is not unlike n.s.f. and how they do their work. the problem that happened is that the publication system is so overwhelmed with that a lot of editors simply will take whoever is offered as possible reviewers by the author in order to actually get the peer review. that is probably what happened in the papers that we're referring to with respect to the health department ruling in new york. in my case, for example, the paper they submitted just got published. i chose a professor at penn state who was clearly unbiased. national academy of science person. i chose a couple of people who i thought knew a lot about methane and had done a lot of independent work and i purposely did not choose for my reviewers anyone w

and the sierra club and california nursing association and 10 to one and harvey milk club and 350 and several elected the officials as well as members of the public just plotting san francisco's clean energy for the future and rallying ahead to that as mentions i think we need to keep moving forward expeditiously whatever we can and have rates that were approved and our staff was diligent to calendaring today for a 0 potential for those rates there's no reason for those not to be here it is relating transmittal value to wait two weeks as we're moving forward to make this program firing ahead on outline cylinder i think this timeline which we got in the february month to month some of the parts towards the bottom half could use the flushing out it is about time to watching how those are implemented and moving forward on those cylinders as well ultimately we want to see clean up power sf a clean energy transformation and an implosion we want those jobs we don't want those jobs that be equally scheduled but the folks working in the fossil fuel economy are thought of intentionally and mov

but then there is another list which is of people are associated with al-shabab and it's starts with the man who is considered the mastermind of the garissa attack, and goes all the way to companies hotels, money transfers and companies which the somali community is very well-known to have invested in over the years. and i must say again that 95% of the people on the list are people associated with al-shabab are considered--are somalis and include some governmental organizations. >> this sort of begs the question, and that is, if the shorts were able to get a list of that's names and banks in a relatively short space of time and put them on the prohibitive list those lists must have been available to them for some time. why did they not put them on those lists and are there suggestions that they haven't done enough relative to what happened in garissa. >> it is a very good question, and it is one that we're going to be reporting to the government and officials because as you say it's such a short time for them to have compiled that's very long lists. i very much doubt that this is a
