tark is an anchor, a base to be able to look at as a possible solution. however, truancy reduction is something we had to communicate to all city departments and say this is an issue that we're facing, truancy, who is at the table and what resources are available that already exist and how can we better work on a consistent basis to be able to resolve this, come up with better solutions. so i want to echo that. another thing i would say is dcyf, we've recently submitted to the nccd the 13-city plan that reduces community violence and it's an effort to bridge all different departments. we've had letters of support from all the departments we've mentioned already involved with the truancy reduction initiative and we've identified five major goals that reduce violence and that includes legislative support, that includes education and work force, it includes community safety and community policing. it also includes really looking at re-entry services, bridging that gap for the 18- to 25-year-olds. so developing these plans and making them live and assuring th

in that time, he was able to get a plate number and a description and able it get that to police, called them so they were automobile to track down that vehicle which i know we have video that just came in a few moments ago from the heavy chase area of montgomery county. this is where police were able to track down that suv at an underground parking garage at an apartment building. police still there at the scene right now trying to gather more information. it appears as though they are questioning somebody in this case and they do have a vehicle in custody. right now, the latest that we have is that they're still looking into that. also, the condition of the woman is extremely critical condition. that is the latest that we have with her. any more details think we'll continue to bring them to you throughout the morning. sarah simmons. back to you. >> the white house campaign swing on democrats heads to bowie, maryland today at bowie state university where the president will hold a rally with maryland governor martin o'malley. his seat is being challenged by former governor robert ehrlich

you have to feed it to be able to get it to burn, and now, they will be able to go for one of the dirtiestfuels' to cleaner fuel. they had some great numbers. the 30-year lifetime of this device, we will save 81 tons of particular matter, that fine matter that causes asthma and respiratory disease. about 100 tons of co2, and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions. the mayor is getting us on target to meeting those goals, and finally, to emissions from nitrous oxide, reducing about 2,200 tons, so this is a great success for the environment. on behalf of the administrator, lee said jackson, and president obama, i want to thank everyone involved for making this happen, and i cannot wait to see how it works. thank you. [applause] >> thank you very much, and thank you for calling up the health risks. i suffer from asthma myself. i have a child who does, and it is important for us and for generations to come. next, i would like to introduce one of the port's long term partners, and that is princess cruises, who has been calling here for now 40 years. we have now the executive vice president. as

we're able to share real information. you know, it all depends on our correct. it depends on our ability to be persuasive and to show that there really is a risk there. there doesn't work... this only works because iran engages in bad conduct. you can't make it up. so because they're engaged in all the conduct that we've talked about-- terrorism and proliferation and they hide what they're really up to and they use front companies and they try to keep their names off of transactions and they use accounts for purposes other than the ones they opened them for, all that stuff, it works we have been the chinese. >> rose: is this the ticking clock? in other words, are they trying to do all these things because there is a window for them to develop before the pressure perhaps gets too difficult? >> i personally feel that urgency. i do feel that urgency. and, you know, i have a tremendous team and they all feel that urgency with me and this is an urgency that we feel we. >> rose: we can't be complacent about this, we have to pus

i was able to monitor to the sounds on both saturday and sunday. interestingly the sound was technically louder than the oracle event in certain parts of the residence of the island yet we received no complaints. maybe people like the music better. not sure. but again the event overall, i'm not sure what if any of the commissioners were able to attend this event. it was a very well planned event. it was very well run. it's a very nice event in that it's got a great balance of not only music and entertainment but they also have a lot of shops and food. overall it's a great -- and a farris wheel, of course. it's a great event, it's been put together well and it's nice that we've had a few years with no major problems. the sfpd sergeant on hand who had worked it every year when i was talking to him said that he was proud of the fact that every year it's gotten better. better organized and better run. some of the current incidents or venues we're looking at, 22 high, the seller, golden boy pizza and jay's gallerya. those are things on our plate that we

they're less able to train operatives. they're less able to pay their families, that causes tension within these organizations if they can't pay the operatives' families. all these things they're not the end... they're not a strategy in and of themselves, but pressuring the financial network of the terrorist organization is an important part of the overall counterterrorism strategy. >> rose: stuart levey for the hour, next. captioning sponsored by rose communications this is charlie rose. >> rose: stuart levey is here, he is undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence at the treasury department. he has held that position since 2004 when president george w. bush created it in the aftermath of 9/11. he is one of very few senior bush administration officials to be retained by president obama. he oversees the office that makes it hard for terrorist networks in countries like iran and north korea to conduct business. treasury secretary tim geithner has called him the chief architect of the u.s. effort to cut iran of

atat 220 market street, we were able to obtain $2.5 million that we were able to contract for a five-yearterm. 1455 market street, we were able to obtain an estimate of $2.7 million at a five-year term lease. staying at the accord is current offices, it would cost approximately $2 million to continue with the option and to fix the contract. based on financial impact alone, authority staff determined it would be to the authorities staff -- advantage to remain in their current location, with the area closest to city hall, it made the most sense. with that, i am seeking a recommendation to exercise the option with vno and to allow the executive director to contract and negotiate all terms. >> commissioner maxwell? >> it would also cost us a great deal to move. >> yes, the estimates included does not factor in the amount of staff time it would cost to pack everything, arrange for the move, this is just purely how much it would cost in rent. an estimate of fair market value over the next five years. >> i appreciate the attachment. it shows the viability. 1390 market is fox plaza. even though t

security was able to point out the car and the officers were able santo go make the arrest. another example of one of the clubs stepping up and doing the right thing. that concludes. any questions? president newlin: any questions from the commission? no. thank you very much. have a good night. thank you. any public comment on the police? comments and questions? seeing none, item 8, commissioners' comments and questions. commissioners? none? ok. i just, a couple of things i have. i want to ask you if you haven't already done so to notify staff as to what your attendance anticipation is for the remainder of the year. i've decided along with staff to not schedule a meeting for december 28, but i'd also like to know if we're going to have a quorum problem before that so thep don't go ahead and have to schedule stuff and then we have to cancel the meeting. secondly, i know we have a lot of passion on this commission, but i'd like the commissioners to be recognized before they start shouting out questions to the public. and lastly, every year we have to take the sunshine task forc

he was not able to find a place that would commit him a room. and i attempted to recreate that journey. >> rose: all of them died before the book was published. >> yes. >> rose: what did they see? >> they didn't see anything except my heart felt interest in their story. i spent many, many, many, many hundreds of hours of each of them and i went to all kinds of places with them i went to reunions with them, dr. foster i went... i dropped him off at the racetrack once at the whole other story because he became an inveterate gambler when he got to california. he's a character uo himself. i communicated to them and they trusted me with this these incredible stories. i feel so honored and grateful to have been able to hear them. >> rose: how would history have been different if this migration hadn't taken place? >> it's so hard to calculate in so many ways. on the one hand, this was a redistribution of an entire people. the majority of african americans that you meet in the midwest and the west are descendants of this great migration, that's how huge

i was able to get in touch with our executive director's office. i must say, we have some great people in our condition. we were able to contact nancy pelosi. through that, another congressperson. we found the real issue was not legal. she was being represented. something was simply missing somewhere. so we had a campaign to get her to her family by thanksgiving, and we were able to do that. just last year also, someone was about to be evicted. they came to us, and through our wonderful director, the chair of the commission, we were able to prevent this. these are just two examples. aside from that, making sure that we can promote the accomplishments of the people in my community and other communities to let people get to know each other. supervisor campos: thank you. if we could now call samer danfoura. >> good morning, supervisors. i am not samer but he is held up in court. he is an immigration attorney. he was not able to control the situation, so i will speak on his behalf, with your position. as you know, the irc has been working with my offic

within their we are able to provide tons of resources, and we are ecstatic to be able to provide this resource in there. one thing that we also do is reconnecting veterans. when we deploy, we find ourselves on these little fobs with people. that is the goal. reconnecting people once they come home. the reliance we have on the national guard and reserve can be overwhelming. these folks are not on military bases, not in a place where they can reach out to a neighbor. now we know there is a community here in san francisco that will support the veterans when they return. i would also like to propose another initiative. when i was in afghanistan, there was a tremendous amount of hills and mountains on a daily basis. as i was walking through the city, i was sweating and this little trolley came rolling up the street. we need those in afghanistan. it may save us in the long run. going up and down those hills is pretty intense. i sincerely want to thank you on behalf of iava, other veterans' organizations, everyone else who has been involved, thank you for your leadership. it is an honor to b

and all her hopes that while she will be with him in the galilee, she will be able to reclaim him. because when guy in to the army, they change. is they become more stiff. they have to cover themselves in a kind of suit of armor in order not to be exposed to the reality of the conflict. and she believes that if they will be alone together in the nature, he will be able to melt again and to become the child that she knew but now suddenly she's alone and she goes alone to the galilee. but on her way she almost kidnaps a man called avram and avram is the love of her life. he's not her husband but he had... he's affected her all her life. and avram, who was like a sparkle of light and life and creativity and passion when he was a young man, in the war of '73, the yom kippur war he fell captive at the hands of the egyptians and he returned broken and he doesn't want any contact with life. but ora by taking him to the galilee and starting to tell him the life story of ofer in a way gradually slowly she commits him back to life and to life of family and what does it mean raise a child. an

it's bright and it's hopefully i will be able to get to it. if everything falls down can i get to it? probably not. have you to do the best you can with what you have. the interior wall in your house. but it in a corner under a defect. protect it as best you can and that's all you can do. if you can put it in the yard, great. some people say i have it in the garage that may not be the best place. you do the best you can. >> we recommend you keep extra supplies at work and your car. so wherever you are you will have access to something. have shoe in your car will be helpful if you have dress shoes. >> how do you arrange to get businesses reimbursed after a disaster. >> we had the question in the morning session. currently we are at the state now we are trying to approach the businesses. before even doing that talking with the city to make sure we can the agreement to have them to get paid and so i'm not sure there is not much more i can say. >> and the red cross has the same thing. i can walk to a say way and say i will and and do your water su

you'll still be able to use marijuana. you'll still be able to possess it.ble to transport it, grow it. and you still -- and do all of those things without paying taxes on them. and again, without having to have some sort of control over those things and then the cities can come in and regulate those things. again, it's a backwards approach and i don't think it's one california -- >> ms. jones, i want to ask you this as simple as possible here. what are we saying to our kids? in this country if we have been telling them -- i mean since i was a kid, since all of us were kids to stay away from drugs. we've been told that marijuana is a drug. and now we're going to say to them it's legal and it's okay to smoke marijuana. what are we sending as a message to young folks? >> well, we're actually finally being honest with our young folks and getting our integrity back by explaining the true dangers of cannabis and to also the fact that you need to wait until you're 21 just like other regulated items. >> do you see them as dangerous, ms. jones? >> indeed. >> yes, th

to get the type of jobs they need to be able to support their families and be able to have the quality of life they need. that is one of the ways we will address our budgetary issues is by focusing on jobs in the economy. whether it is looking at our health care and our school systems, providing needs to our seniors with nutrition programs -- those are things i believe a governor can do to help those who are in need, those who are out of work, and those who need social services and hands up instead of hands out. >> the first 100 days would probably be the end of april or early part of may of 2011. there is no simple rule that will solve all our problems in those 100 days. i believe if we come into this legislative session and if we are working together from the very beginning of the session to say that the state of oklahoma is meeting our balanced budget requirements is our number one issue. it is the number one task in front of us. it is the only one that is required of us other than finishing redistricting and doing the senate-house appropriation for redistricting. we can have an opp

they will also be able to see what their middle school feeder school is. all the maps and our applications will be online as well. our application template will be online. we haven't yet developed the infrastructure to be able to take applications online yet. families would be able to go on line and get the application and fill it out and print it out. and in the future, we still have some training. we're still going to be doing additional training with some family connectors as well as training parent liaisons that are working out at school sites. we are planning to do some traininging with school sites and principals. now that the school tours are underway, we are getting some inquiries, from school sites, about what our process is. so we are going to be doing some training for school sites and some principals. the e.p.c. staff is going to undergo some very intensive professional development as well in terms of the new process and the counseling that they're going to be doing out in the community. we also want to make sure that after our march placement

it would be wonderful if we were able to expand that and be able to expand our services. supervisor avalos: have you had any funding before? >> yes. supervisor avalos: how often? >> it has been annual for the last few years. >> actually, since, i believe, 1997. supervisor avalos: thank you. great. if there are no other questions, we will move on to public comment. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> supervisors, as you know, this is a great city, and the way we should approach this situation, grants, culture, workshops, is for us to get some background as to what is the real population of our city, and then find out what is the real population of the children, and in this case, i would say mostly in the southeast sector, and then find out how have they been given opportunities to participate. there's a lot of talent over there. as you know, this is very little money, $50,000. we spend hundreds of thousands of other art programs with great fanfare. when it comes to our children, and they're very talented, and i work with them on a daily basis -- many of them have to seek

to have the natural resources and the let's say to god gifts to be able to produce enough for their own people so having said that i do not want to undermine the importance of let's say inequality which exists i do not want to ignore the very important fact raise about concentration of most of this food is coming from is distribution mechanism but if there are problems with the. system we have to address that i do not believe that trade is one of them ok rob you were nodding your head at one point we were talking about trade and i did some research on your writing on this and you do believe in trade but we're going to want you don't want to be called a free market fanatic out ok but a lot of people say that problems that we have now are because of the western conceptions of free trade in dealing with the south and they say that's where the problems come from it's the type of trade it's a type of relationship not really the marketing it in of itself. well there is an unbalanced relationship in this is one area where i think more work can be to both the united states and particularly

accept that poverty is a real problem that people have got the money and the resources they'll be able to buy the food that they need so so actually it becomes part of a bigger question why are so many people in the poor in the world still so pour ok . if i could go back to room why eight eight is really not a food crisis it's poor people don't have enough money to buy food right i mean if you turn around looking at it. i mean sure i mean the shoe is really a structural issue here if we have to really decide whether we think that food is just any commodity or not because if is to be in food cooked by let's agricultural commodities that are used for you know as a raw material for food because there again we return to journalism of what food is if they are just commodities like any other commodity and you take it from then on then you will see that for example for cereals for agriculture cause in general cereals in particular prices in real terms are the lowest level in one hundred years now what does that tell you compared to receive minerals go all the you know all other commodities ac

pretty much we were able to impact, you know, some areas. so depression gone down and the control gone down. and so you can seer we are working these two to gain tracks. both for the clinnings and also for party makers such as you. that concludes my presentation. if there are any questions, i'll be happy to answer. >> what i'd like to do is i'd like to bring the other two departments and have the questions all together. next i'd like to invite our chief of juvenile probation bill sufferman to join us. >> thank you. supervise or dufty. supervisor daily. bill sufferman, chief probation officer and asked to participate in today's hearing. i have to be >> very frank. i don't shy away from any opportunity to share information about the partnership between the juvenile probation department and the san francisco unified school district. i welcome this opportunity just to present the main feature of our partnership with the district. as you know and may find hard to believe that some of the students in the san francisco unified school district get t

. >> would you be able to -- >> but at the next policy committee -- >> we have someone coming in from the planning department to talk about another part of the code, formula retail. could we contact her and ask if we can add this to our list? what do you think? >> i think one is -- well, we dope want to table it because that means we are not going to consider it at all. if the resolution passes, there is an 18-month window, and my understanding is that this ordinance would not go into effect until after that 18 months. it still has to go between the planning department -- are you correct me? >> the ordinance would take effect after the ordinance passes. so it could be six months. but we can certainly request that we be involved in that. >> thanks for that correction. in case it takes up to 18 months to pass the ordinance, the resolution is in place for 18 months. so it is not an automatic guarantee it is for 18 months. well, i think -- the permitting committee is taking a look at making some modifications on -- taking a look at considering some moderate occasions -- modifications rega

that would help to be able to move that forward because it would allow us to do this universally. someone would go through s.f. can do and there would be a case manager there and would allow us to communicate. that is future, just in the moment in time, just supporting with he

>> the funds are there and they would be able to provide. we try to hold those funds back and tell if we get to use all of them, we will not get to use some of the other aspects which includes improvements. what we want to do is hold those funds back as much as possible to make it possible to do the whole project including restoration. >> thank you. >> any other questions? is to any public comment? is there a motion to approve item number 14? >> second. >> thank you very much and good luck with your project. >> madame president, the next item is a closed session item. if we can entertain a motion and see if there is any public comment and tell you need to entertain a motion to invoke the attorney-client privilege. >> so moved. >> all those in favor. >> we have no public speaker cards. if you will hochtief meet a moment to read the various items. threat to public services or facilities, number 17. number 18, conference with legal counsel. number 19, conference with legal counsel, pending litigation, jane martin first is the city and county of

this week we were able to announce joint power from the north to the south part of the state.ll be able to sell that power to energy hungry california we announced that significant number of schools and churches will be supplied with solar energy. share angle says the unemployed are spoiled and social security recipients are on welfare. again, these are her words, not mine. she's someone whose foreign policy strategy consists of taking your job and shipping it overseas. her message is this, when the going gets tough, the american middle class is on their own. you've heard some of her ideas. like phasing out social security and medicare. those are her words, not mine. they are not regulated enough, she says. no, in fact they are too regulated. the cause of the bp oil spill t are worst. privatizing the veteran's administration. doing away with the department of energy education. doing away with the epa. she doesn't believe insurance companies should be required to give mammograms -- to pay for mammograms or colonoscopies, offer cover autism. i've heard what she wants. she wants

however, if we are able to do it like any other business and be able to deal with our costs like any other for-profit business may do, we should be able to have that opportunity and have things spelled out. >> your point is very well taken, supervisor. we actually don't disagree with it. i think the arbitration provision is a relatively typically dispute resolution procedure for when the parties don't agree we are continuing to maintain the minimum course standards. if we -- our primary objective and our primary obligation in this agreement is to meet the course maintenance standards. if we can do it more efficiently, i don't think the pga and they're here and could you actually ask them, they're not going to have any issue with that at all. the challenge is what happens if they believe that we're not and we believe that we are. then the arbitration provision essentially helps us resolve it. there's no cost or penalty to us even if we were not to prevail in that case. it just gives them the option to say we're going to provide you 270 days or nine months' notice to identify another m

they're going to be able to answer any detailed questions you have about a project. today is a very exciting day. by reducing the circling parking spots, we help with many mu -- ni --muni to be able to travel quicker. we reduce the amount of carbon emissions created by cars circling trying to find a parking spot. if you do not use muni and need to use an automobile, where making it easier for the automobile users by providing real-time information on parking availability. we're also making it easier to pay. inconnus points, credit cards, a debit card -- you can use queens -- you can use coins, credit cards, debit cards, and other forms of payment. >> how will the congestion pricing work? >> we will be able to price the parking, the cost of parking on a daily basis, time of day, day of the week. in case of special events down by the ball park, we will be able to properly price on street parking as related to what is happening in the city. the current plan is not to make adjustments on a daily basis. it will be more of a monthly basis. that is the plan entrance of adju
