and language access. i just wanted to make a couple of comments relative to finding 1 and 1 b regarding language support. departments are required to post notices in a public place, informing limited english proficiency citizens and it requires city boards and commissions and determines to provide oral interpretation of any public meeting or hearing, if it's requested within 48 hours in advance of the meeting or hearing. and meeting minutes should not have to be always translated, but only if requested and if the legislative body approves the minutes within a reasonable amount of time. so there is no reference in the lao to any requirements for website information. however, we totally agree with the grand jury's findings that this should be readily available and we're working on this with the departments. and relative to the languages that should appear on city websites. so the lao specifies which languages are required for support by authorizing our office to determine whether 10,000 residents share a la

but the amount going to access is i -- accessible services. i'm not going to vote to give mta a $500 million blank check. thank you. >> thank you. is there any other public comment on this item? >> good afternoon, honorable councilmembers. my name is arnold wong. when we heard about the transportation task force we followed it carefully and attended some of the meetings and were surprised that 21 of those members were government employees, many department heads, many reporting to the mayor, about 11 were from the business community. so very lopsided. no neighborhood people, no advocates from your community and week before this report came out we wrote a letter to them and predicted what their findings would be and what their recommendations would be. we said you are going to recommend a $500 million bond, new transportation taxes and a vehicle license fee. well, we were close. there were two $500 million bonds. so the whole process actually everybody knew it was about funding. but yet this report, what's the funding in this report? only 49 per

accessing those services. we have always stood united at this board unanimously passing legislation to ensure women have that access and do what we can do, and i think it's appropriate that within almost immediately after the supreme court's unfortunate decision in june that we're stepping forward again to do what we can do. and as we always do in san francisco, we respect the law. we may not agree with what the supreme court has done, but that is the law of land and we need to make sure we are pushing the envelope and stepping up to the line and doing everything we can to protect access for women to these reproductive health services. i'm proud we're doing this, i strongly support this and look forward to getting this passed, signed and into law and enforced. >> thank you for you cosponsorship. supervisor mar. i >> i wanted to acknowledge that supervisor campos has been working on this for several years. i urge the mayor and supervisor cohen, who are also interested in this issue to join supervisor campos to

where they never had access before. want to thank so many people that are involved in this and first of all google for their gift and our mayor for the great leadership and for being here kim for being here sxh the department of technology and for all of the leadership, and this is a collective effort to make this happen and special thanks from my office and kelley who has been spear heading and deserves a ton of credit and excited to move this forward and i am sure that many people have asked mayor, and others have talked about this is just the beginning and this is a broader vision to deliver the access to all of them across the neighborhood and this is just a great first step and, we are excited for that, and we like to thank you for coming and introduce mayor ed lee. i want to thank you for this and because he led the conversationwise google to talk about the public, private partnership and before i say anything more, i want to led the reporter know that there is a spider, for each kid and each one of the reporters

will realize to improve the services and access. with that i welcome your questions. >> thank you for your presentation. do i have any councilmember questions or comments? cochair zarda? >> first of all thank you for coming here today. the council and the general public appreciate when you show up to our meetings and can talk a little bit more and open up a dialogue about accessibility and working with the senior and disability population. what is the current access training and vehicle inspection that is in place? >> so with respect to the vehicle inspections, as i mentioned rides that are fulfilled on our platform are provided through our standard vehicle supply. those are our typical lyft vehicles which to my knowledge don't require any special equipment. they are not vehicles equipped with a ramp or lift, they are for meeting the same mechanical requirement and go through that same inspection process that has been required by us and the puc which complies with the general population. there is not special training with respect to

and safer for people to access. because much of the investment makes changes to the right-of-way to protect muni to allow muni to move without having to move in and out of traffic, it also allows for changes on the street that make it safer for people to board muni and also make it safer for pedestrians in that area. things like the bus boarding, the pieces of the sidewalk that kind of bulb out for safety improvement and reliability improvement. the other funding in this bond would go towards achieving the city's goal of vision zero which is a goal to reduce traffic fatalities to 0 by 2024 and really would put the majority of funding into pedestrian safety types of improvements. the bond itself does include a number of accessibility improvements. there is a heavy focus of the bond for elevator improvements at the shared muni downtown where the sclat -- escalators and elevators are. if that elevator is out of service and someone in a wheelchair has no way to access that station. to provide elevators there and another

there is no one accessible. each of the transportation services in the market offer different services. lift is a solution for blind passengers with features an allowing full voice over and easy communication tool to fulfill connections between drivers and passengers. we implemented a policy accepting animals and they are able to bring their animals with them and drivers who discriminate with passengers with animals or individuals with disabilities will be removed from that policy. since lyft is cash less, blind passengers are able to travel with piece of mind knowing they don't need to worry about receiving incorrect change from the driver because all payment happens by credit card through the app or by taking a route because at the mail is passed. we also seen that elderly individuals and those due to disabilities value the convenience response of service so they don't have to stand on the street waiting for a vehicle to rauf. arrive. all lyft vehicles are also accessible to individuals who can enter the vehic

it's providing an accessible vehicle fully accessible with wheelchairs and with a trains driver to go with it. i suggest that you advocate for a city fee or tax if you will, a is surcharge on every trip that lyft provides. that money should go to provide accessible services by other operators who are actually willing to provide the services to you, not just to their idea of what a special client is which means just about anybody accept you. so, provide those funds to operators that do provide the services. contrary to what you may have heard the city does have extensive authority to regulate these vehicles. the public utilities commission code provides reasonable regulations. we have today in service a seven wheelchair accessible vehicles. we have 10 unused in our lot today for lack of a qualified driver. make no mistake about it, members, that every time that lyft draws another driver away from a taxi service, they are taking service away from you and making no compensation at all for the damage they are doing to the services that do serve you. out of time. thank you. >> thank you, b

in addition to the accessible voting machines there should be accessible materials, at all of those polling places which includes large print and instructions, and mag fiyers and pen grips and accessible booths and if you happen to be in that five percent range of polling places that are not accessible, and you can always ask at any polling place, for curb side assistance to have them come out and take it and provide you with assistance and it is two that are permitted to help and i am going to close, again with that number. if you need help, going, it is 554-4375. and i want to just draw attention to today october 17, as being the 25th anniversary of the (inaudible) earthquake, and remind everybody that our beautiful city hall here, was one of those buildings that was incredibly heavily damaged during that earthquake. and that there have been numerous city initiative to do seismic retrofits throughout and this building was one example of that. we invested hundreds of millions of dollars in this building to make it safe. but what we got out of that, was also, an accessible city hall, and so

experts believe if we want to have an entire conversation about access to healthcare and access to contraception for women, it should not be focused on one little piece of it, which is this over the counter. yes we would like to expand healthcare to contraception to women, but it needs to be done in a holistic fashion. we peeling the affordable care act is not going to be productive for women and families. that's what cory gardner stands for. he would also ban certain types of birth control. he's trying to wiggle away from his record. >> the affordable care act is a fairly complex and broad bill, but this is one aspect of it that falls more heavily on women than on men. unique among men. if you're going to do heart disease or lung disease, both men and women have hearts and lungs, but only women have wombs. has this an secured the affordable care act, yes or no? an affordable care act working or not. >> republicans are not doing what we expect them to do. they're not repealing the affordable care act. they're not making a big issue of it. democrats like udall are facing a backlash if they contin

lafayette park is also easily accessed from the 47, 49, and 90 buses. it is ada accessible. we are here at the historic palace of fine art in the marina district. originally built for the 1950's exposition, the palace is situated on san francisco's number waterfront. it is ada accessible and is reached by the 28, 30, and 91 bus lines. set against the reflecting waters of the lagoon and eucalyptus trees, the palace is one of san francisco post most -- san francisco's most romantic spots to relax with that special someone while listening to the water and gazing at the swans. a beautiful to view from many locations along the mattoon, an ideal place to -- all -- lagoon, an ideal place to walk with a loved one. reservations for weddings are available at sfrecpark.org. discarding contains plants referred to by william shakespeare's plays and poems. welcome to the shakespeare garden here in the famous golden gate park. located near the museum and the california academy of sciences, the garden was designed by the california spring blossom and wildfilower association. here is a truly

>> host: okay, so access. >> guest: yeah, access is a very, very big problem right now.lmost all of the clinics close overnight with legislation that came through the statehouse under governor rick perry and a court decision last week. so we are certainly seeing women all over the this country being prevented from easy access to health clinics generally and abortion more specifically. and by easy, i mean some of them have to travel 400 miles round trip just to get basic health care and access to abortion services. what we've seen in texas, unfortunately, is that means that 7% of women who need abortion care are attempting to self-abort. and, you know, this underscores a point that we know from global data all over the world which is that when abortion is illegal or difficult to access, the number of abortions don't go down, the number of injuries to women and deaths do go up. and so we are really on the precipice of that in our country. we've seen more restrictions on abortion in the last three years than we have since the early '70s. >> if democrats retain control of th

in favor of overturning private health coverage, she wrote that access to a waiting list is not access to a health care. those who can oept out often come to the united states, to pay out of pocket. danny williams, former premier, of newfoundland, flew to florida for heart valve surgery, he said, it is my heart, my health, it is my choice. i did not sign away the right to get the best health care for myself when i entered politics. a person can get a heart, a hip relacement for their dog in less than a week for a canadian, it is over two years, my own mother died from colon cancer, she could not get a colon oftommy, she entered the hospital, died two weeks later, from metac taicized colon cancer. how much longer could we have had my mother, if she had prompt treatment there is an example of the u.s. of a single pay s it is the va, a lot of dissatisfaction with waiting lists. we need a way to inject competition and choice into our health care system. we need to scale back top down controls by government. thank you, i look forward to your questions. >> thank you very much. turns out with

people do not have access to basic primary care. despite all of that, the united states as i mentioned a moment ago spends almost twice as much per capita on health care as does any other country. we are spending about 18% of the gross domestic product on health care compared to 11 to 12% in france, germany and denmark and canada. 9% in the u.k., australia and norway and less than 8% in taiwan. we're going to hear a representative from taiwan in a few minutes. in terms of efficiency, are we an efficient system? compared to the huge amount of money we're spending, are we getting good value? in august of 2013, bloomberg a respected business source ranked the united states health care system 46th of 48 countries based on efficiency. now what about outcomes? if i'm spending $100,000 on a car and somebody is spending $20,000 on a car, we would assume thatmy car runs better. i'm getting better value, i'm getting value for what i pay for. the united states pays almost twice as much per person for health care but in terms of our health care

you mentioned access to individuals. you mentioned access to locations. you know, we know individuals that we believed were engaged in some of these activities. the noaa locations where we believe believed that some of these activities took place. how would you assess the relative importance of gaining access to sites, gaining access to individuals? and how successful has the agency been? obviously the access to the facility, there were two occurrences in the password agency went there and didn't look exactly at the place that was of particular concern and it's been rebuffed constantly in recent years. but what about access to individuals? it would seem to me that one of the most effective ways of keeping tabs on iranian nuclear activities is to have continuing access to individuals, not a one-time interview where the subject of the interview might be misleading, may not tell the truth and store both -- soar both but -- so forth but continuing to gain confidence by people who have the greatest expertise in some of the military related aspects of nuclear e

to housing in the access code and good afternoon commissioner planning staff i'm here to remedy the modifications ordinance and calendaring this proposed hearing for approval and adaptation that is required by the state and must be finished the reasonable modification ordinances provide a program for the be disables for any barriers to access to their home a reasonable modification modification is to modify the zoning and building registrations that has no undue burn on the city of san francisco or to the zoning and planning program those modifications include the changes to the residential property that enables residence to access their property it has to provide apple continental opportunity to live in the neighborhood some for example, i'll discuss are the access ramps and elevators in developing this program the plaintiff looked at the municipalities and met with the mayor's office of disabled to understand the types of modifications and the most common modifications is the elevator and the additional ramps elevators and ramps allow access to the homes and that's for the residen

we do believe that reducing access to tobacco products will help reduce tobacco use. and our chief medical officer, dr. troy brennan recently shared the results of a new study that showed -- in boston and san francisco, where retailers with pharmacies are not permitted to sell tobacco, there was up to a 13.3% decrease in the purchasers of tobacco products. at the same time, in quitting tobacco, we also watched a comprehensive and uniquely personalized smoking cessation campaign to help the many smokers a who want to quit. we built a comprehensive smoking cessation campaign. our # 00 minute clinics, the fact that we have 26,000 pharmacists and nurse practitioners all across the country and it includes four critical components, an assessment to determine the smoker's readiness to quit, education to provide smokers the information and tools thiey nee to quit, medication to help curb the desire to use tobacco and coaching to help consumers stay motivated and prevent relapse. it can nearly double quit rates from 7% to 15%. you might be surprised to know, it takes on averag

they can still access the cloud. >>> but, here's the problem. uploading to the cloud doesn't include all of the stored data, and first, which has the potential to create a black hole. if the bad guys don't back up their phones or opt-out, the data will only be found, on the devices themselves. and it's the people that are most worried, who will be most likely to avoid the cloud. and cannot access t. >>> encrisp, will have very dire consequences. >>> they'll on these means of evading it. >>> a safe that can't ever be cracked. and my question, at what cost? they say, you still have access to telephone records and, location information, and stored with the carriers, and that's true. >>> but, it does not provide the contempts, and incomplete information, and difficult to access when time is of the essence. >>> we don't have time. >>> there is as misconception, that building it is all about building a backdoor, one that hackers could exploit. that's in the true. we are not seeking a backdoor approach. >>> we want to use the front-door. they will try

we have the legal authority to intercept and access to vacations pursuant to a court -- to access communications per cert -- personally to a court order. we face two priorities. the first involves real-time data in motion, such as phone calls or e-mails or live text or chat sessions. concernsd challenge court ordered access to data stored on our devices. such as e-mail or text messages or photos or videos, what we call data at rest. and both real-time syndication, data and motion, and store data, data at rest, are increasingly encrypted. let me talk about court-ordered interception and about the challenges posed by the proliferation of different means of communication and encryption. doing electronic surveillance was straightforward. we identified a target phone, used by a bad guy, with a single -- without a court order for a wiretap, and under the supervision of a judge, we collected the evidence we needed for prosecution. today there are countless countless networks, countless means of communicating. we have laptops, smartphones, tablets, we take them to work, school, we take them the soccer f

we talk about access, press access and pushing together as a group to increase the access we get at the whitehouse to people and information. and that is our primary goal. we also try to help each other be better individual, com pet -- c com compe compe competiors -- and we will talk about about covering the whitehouse and how to get good stories. helping us with that we have veterans of the whitehouse beat. i am sure you recognize all of them. they did it with excellence and continue to do so. i will introduce them. this is susan page, the washington bureau chief of usa today and covered the whitehouse during the reagan years. and next to her is terry hunt and he is the deputy chief thof associated press in washington and he goes all the way back to reag reagan. i don't want to rob you of credit of any of the administrations. andrea mitchell you know covered the white house and has her own show now. and brook craft is a photographer who was on the beat for ten years for time magazine but has shot photographs for all of your favorite magazines. we are excited to have all four of these f

this raises questions of how the public health system looks at patients who access it, access of drugs, quality of care, and all these must be addressed at the earliest. we cannot allow that to be addressed for hiv or tb or what about malaria drugs? >> the question i asked you right at the beginning of the, i missed part of what you said, i want you if we can address the government always role in this -- the government's role in this, the prime minister's role in this. it is a supply problem. not a genuine shortage, but a shortage due to incompetence. >> we haven't heard from the ministry why this problem has occurred but these problems usually occur when there are delays in general in the procurement in the supply chain. and this happened during two years ago with tb drugs, it is happening again with hiv drugs. we really need to streamline this system. whether it is bureaucratic inefficiency or delays, or stalling, we don't know. but we produce the drugs, indians who have hiv or tb do not have access of these drugs within the public health system. there is no excuse. >> thank you for
