this is a fairly narrow band due to aggressive conservation. the next slide shows how we fit into the water conservation bill of 2009. there is the dark line which is a change in gross per-capita use overtime in san francisco. this is literally all of the water that crosses the county line in san francisco. current water use is at 85.6 gallons per day. everyone would have to take a share of that. that is below 100 gallons per capita per day. the last average is at 92.2 per day. this is under the way you calculate compliance with the water conservation act. that does not mean we will not do additional conservation but san francisco is really out there in terms of party complying with low water use. 85.6 gallons, sometimes you hear other numbers turn around like 51 gallons per capita which is residential water use in the san francisco. the gross number is calculating all of the water used in san franciscoslashthe number of residents. you will hear the key numbers. -- dues to san francisco -- used in san francisco divided by the number of resident

and how you know what is fueling their aggression aggression in our tactics why is that increasing. while the consumer since it's more difficult for the consumer to pay. there really the debt collection agencies are really turning up the heat and i say tearing up the we're seeing everything we're seeing racial slurs that think slurs just really quite a bit of abusive behavior how prevalent is that when i have profiled several stories you know are these kind of just bad seeds were that do the things that you're talking about or is this kind of a big you know broader issue that is really affecting so many of the americans that are and that it's unfortunate i think what's happening is i think you're seeing a print i think you're seeing just a pattern of more and more abusive behavior on the part of these that collectors whereas i think it exists in the past i think you're just seeing a lot more of it now than you were say five or ten years ago which i think is just a reflection of the fact that there's a lot more debt out there getting it unfair for the american people to go out there

now we're well ahead of that schedule thanks to aggressive action by the fed, aggressive action by the bush administration in its final months, and very aggressive action by the obama administration in its early months. so to some extent we need to have some patience. but it's not just patience. it seems clear that the best thing we could have right now is some additional tax cuts or some additional spending. short term tax cuts or spending tied to long-term deficit reduction. we're not going to get that because congress has trouble spraingt the short term and the long-term. that really leaves the fed as the only player here. and i've been disappointed that the fed has not been more aggressive. when you look at the numbers on inflation and the numbers on unemployment, to me it seems like the fed still has significant room to be agress itch and the bigger worry now is not inflation but is, indeed, the risk that we may be seeing this recovery fall apart. >> rose: so what could the fed do. i mean interest rates are pretty low. >> right. well, so the important thing to keep in mind here is

if we do not move toward that more aggressive stance, i think we'll be looking at several years of negative growth, worsening deflation, and probably worsening fiscal deficits as well. >>the pain in spain, we look at some of the key problems faced by this struggling european economy >>what i see is not good. i see stagnation, long period of stagnation. >>and india's rail network should be the envy of the world, but it is crumbling and losing money. >>they need to develop their infrastructure, they need to make more trains like these >>abirached: hello and welcome. i'm raya abirached and this is world business, your weekly insight into the global business trends shaping our lives. the earthquake and tsunami that hit japan this year stunned the world and came as a huge blow to a country that is losing its economic prominence in the world. and the true scope of the tragedy is only just becoming clear. >>reporter: more than two months after the quake, tsunami, and nuclear plant disaster, a japanese official speaking to reporters was still expressing confidence about the pace of recovery. the ec

we're talking about a more aggressive position in terms of pursuit at the state and local level. i would respectfully ask that when president obama comes to our beautiful city that there be a request put before him that we look at the city and county, which is the city and the municipality, ok? we got some showers here that need no where else. to -- we got some powers here that ain't nowhere else. we are a city and county. we are a consolidated neighborhood. we may have missed our opportunity to be a model for the redevelopment agency. one second, ma'am. 50% of the money has gone to affordable housing. we are not doing ballparks. this is the fact. we need that affordable housing. it need that for black people and people -- we need that for black people and people of color and so third-generation immigrants can live here. so, i am thinking that one of the things that we did do to deal with public safety, to deal with land use issues is to now start a commitment for jobs, housing. supervisor cohen: sharon -- >> lets make sure the twitter people are connected to creating affordable

them to be very aggressive to figure out how we can bring in revenue to support some of those programs as a first resort and then the balance, when we need to balance our budget, we need to make some cuts and there are some programs we can't afford. and that's reality and there are difficult decisions. but i think often lost in the discussions about everything that we're cutting are some stories about situations where we've been very aggressive at bringing in money from outside the city from the state and federal government and from maximizing our -- our collection of our own revenues that we've been able to have some great management stories about how we can support programs without necessarily going to the voters and saying, please increase your taxes. or else we have to cut these programs. so i don't think that answers sort of philosophical question about what sort of the right structure we have, but there are a lot of efforts that a lot of us are spending our time on trying to figure out how we can -- how we can maximize revenues and protect programs. the other part of the answer,

we are training and i think that you will see a pretty aggressive forward motion. let's i guarantee you that good government advocates will be delighted to hear the progress. >> thank you. >> i just wanted to concur with supervisor mere creamy. i was glad to see the memorandum on the work we are doing to expedite your recording links from the commission's. this item, i know that i had a lot of questions in terms of consolidation plans and moving forward. it is good to see recommendations for cost savings. i know that many of the department frequently attempt to come up with ideas for the meeting. i wanted to acknowledge that. even though i wanted to see more and we did not necessarily set a benchmark in terms of what we want to see achieved. hopefully as we move forward we can work together to set benchmarks for the department of technology. supervisor chu: thank you. if there are no further questions at this moment, we can go to public comment on this. are there any members of the public at which to speak? seeing no one, public comment is closed. do we have a moti

has happened in other occasions where an occasional atrocious may not in any manner even russian aggression lightly once they couldn't get a car or people in the case would are sadly there are a lot of. justice or some who weren't right and just finally in what despite the fact that russia has offered its role as a mediator it has been very critical of the nato campaign so far now we've just heard that some russian officials have said they wouldn't even entertain the idea of a u.n. resolution on intervention in syria so where does this actually put the alliance on its humanitarian mission ethos for perhaps future operations well i suppose if we were cynical we might say some of the people in nato would be really mean that they don't have to feel pressure to intervene in an all oil rich country like syria and they combine their activities to or. we should become cynical. as a global agenda which in the future will have to be exercised without a u.n. resolution giving it any kind of resolution after all that's happened in kosovo trobe years ago so it was not who was worried about getting u.n.

doesn't really have the resources to as aggressively go after these people as they would like to and that of course falls on the backs of american people that are being harassed now i know that these numbers have increased significantly but obviously debt in this country after the financial collapse in the years preceding that you know has really increased with more people not being able to pay it is that what is behind the increase are more factors behind this increase in abuse. that's live in a nutshell what's happening is the consumer is growing deeper and deeper in debt is facing more and more financial hardships what's happening is these debt collection agencies are growing increasingly aggressive with their tactics they're really the collection agencies are really turning up the heat in my city turning up the we're seeing everything we're seeing racial slurs at the slurs just really quite a bit of abusive behavior how prevalent is that when i you profiled several stories you know are these kind of just bad seeds were that did the things that you're talking about or is this kind

it's important to be protected from aggressive behavior in the internet. you should accept it to some extent but what i personally don't want to see is aggressive attitude towards a person for you myself in the internet. but joy to people from here. issue three waiting room. excessive aggression and this whole thing is presence of harmful illegal content in the internet child pornography exactly exactly i would like to be protected from that and pay for the people that you and your family ok let's get back to the g. eight summit in russia was extremely proud once is joined the g eight not long ago by like now the relevance of the g eight is being put in doubt so there's the g eight really matter today as compared to the newly born forum such as for example the chief g. twenty is still relevant. we believe that discussions in any of our four month were. leaders of global development are present are important and security should develop and still g eight countries are among leaders and. topics like middle east and north africa. for nuclear security. some of

to go after these individuals in a more aggressive way ali abdullah saleh is staying in power means they can continue to hit these guys ali ability leaving power could open the door even wider for the u.s. to go in and it's very very dangerous i think for the u.s. to consider boots on the ground in a more extensive way than they already exist and i was jeremy scahill the national security correspondent for the nation magazine and also author of proc black. now after the resignation of its managing director dominic struck on the international monetary fund has been racing to find his replacement and many say that french finance minister christine lagarde is the front runner and she's been described by many as a financial rock star of. orts but perhaps more importantly she's a european but leaders of the brics countries of course that is brazil russia india china and south africa they want to do away with all of that they want to scrap what they call obsolete unwritten conventions and they say that it's time for the world's largest developed developing economies to see one of their own at

them to be very aggressive to figure out how we can bring in revenue to support some of those programs as a first resort and then the balance, when we need to balance our budget, we need to make some cuts and there are some programs we can't afford. and that's reality and there are difficult decisions. but i think often lost in the discussions about everything that we're cutting are some stories about situations where we've been very aggressive at bringing in money from outside the city

but there has been a long running debate about how aggressive to be to treat it.onight a vet for more aggressive action. >> reporter: patrick gallagher found out he had prostrate cancer from a biopsy given several treatment options but he wanted to take the most aggressive. >> the ability to go through life afterwards not thinking about it. >> reporter: a new study in the new england journal finds more men should do what gallagher did. one group took a wait and watch approach, the other had surgery to remove the prostrate. >> if you were treated with surgery you had a 25% reduction in your death rate. >> reporter: the study also found those men that had surgery were 60% less likely to have their cancer spread to other parts of the body. the reason some doctors recommend just monitoring the cancer after diagnosis is because prostrate cancer grows slowly and surgery comes with risks. including incontinence and sexual dysfunction. >> a landmark study. we can tell those men with great confidence there is significant benefit as far as your overall survival if you choos

we are saying the law needs to be enforced aggressively. so we want the law to be enforced effectively. we do not want to have to waste 108 days for workers to get their money back, to get their judgment. chairperson campos: thank you. >> we want to resolve the issue in one year. chairperson campos: thank you very much. thank you. next speaker. >> my name is johannes iwjaya. i am also a victim of which the act. -- of wage theft. in 2008, i started working for a sushi food-service company. my job is to deliver the sushi. i deliver sushi to different areas, including san francisco, berkeley, and alameda. a lot of times, i deliver to san francisco. for the time i'm in san francisco, they did not pay me san francisco minimum wage. for my overtime, i had to repair the truck, maintain the truck. all this overtime was not paid for. first, i went to the labor commission. they do not have bilingual staff, so they referred me to cba. with the help of cpa, we were able to resolve my problem. and my employer decided to settle. and i got my minimum wage

they want to do that aggressively and expand to the private sector. that is power and control to ratchet down health care. it may well work because it can work by dramatically reducing what we get. the other way of looking at it is to move it to individuals and let people have control over whether they want to fire their health insurer and so on. that is the divide. whether you see power in the system going to families and individuals, that is the basic fundamental divide. >> there are models of market-based systems that have worked very well. the federal employee system is one vote can be improved significantly. one of the best models is the wisconsin state employees system which has held costs down for wisconsin employees and also cause the creation of some efficient integrated delivery systems in wisconsin. >> you look like you need to say something. >> the description of where the power lies is inaccurate. the power lies with health insurance executive. that is where it would lie if you have a reform that turn even more so. my father is a doctor.

so, we're being very aggressive on revenues. rec and park has a strategy of pursuing revenue options. some of them are difficult decisions. they prioritize revenue over reductions. we have been working with the supervisors, working with the city family, to look at what options are available. the mayor is working on a general-obligation bond. hopefully for the november ballot, it will save us some general fund street repaving dollars. we are looking at what our other options are that we are allowed to do under state law. there is some limit as to what we are able to do. we are looking hard at all our options. >> as mentioned, as you may have heard, we relaunched the jobs program just three weeks ago. he can go into detail with anybody here. we wanted to aim it at small businesses. they can take advantage of this jobs now program with funding that is available to help you hire and pay for employees to the tune of some $5,000. that could pay for employees for small businesses up to probably around two or three months in their first

based on over 30 years of research is that doing entertainment violence can lead to increases in aggressive attitudes, values and behavior, particularly in children. in addressing whether a not media violence causes real life violence, skeptics have been quick to observe that some studies on effects of media violence has been flawed. and the correlation does not prove causation. millions of people you televised violence everyday without subsequent acting in an overtly violent fashion. they correctly point out, and the many studies that sought to prove or disprove a causal link, certainly wanted the degree of skepticism. there is some evidence that media violence makes people more violent, that is, that it directly translates into post viewing violent behavior but the evidence is largely anecdotal and limited to certain individuals. few knowledgeable individuals would argue that a sustained causal relationship has been proven between media violence and violence in society. but as newton minnow, professor adjudications law policy at northwestern university, and former chairman of the federal

but the roots are not as aggressive of the fica roots. it is another tree we love in urban conditions, it is very reseal yebt. >> name again. >> brings -- brisbane box. >> if we look across the street, you see a newish building, you see street trees along the face of this new building, part of the city requirements is when you do a new building, you're required to plant street trees, unless you get an exception because there are problems with the utilities underground or driveway interference or something. this is a case where there was a brand new building and they were required to plant three trees. the rule was one treat for every 20 feet of curb face. >> what are these? >> toif look closer. >> they not only have to plant them, they have to maintain them too. >> that's right. in some cases, the code said shall plant and we would plant and they would take them out. that has been since corrected in the code. >> luckily. but it can be a little challenging because we will have deefler, who builds a building and then sells it and the proper

looking for new markets looking for ways to make money so it started really they began getting aggressive about it in the seventy's eighty's ninety's and have continued to this day trying to solicit deposits in and bring money in from. from latin america including drug runners and gun dealers whatever is there any what agencies responsible for oversight. you know there are various agencies including homeland security that are supposed to be watching out for for for money laundering and money that's that's being pushed through by terrorist and narco traffickers in terms of just the average sort of sort of. fluent tax evader from from mexico there's really nobody in the u.s. who's really watching out for that right now you know there is a proposal right at this point where there are us would like to require that the banks report interest paid to. foreign nationals living outside the u.s. that has created kind of a firestorm the banking industry is really upset about this they believe it's going to drive capital way and they say and you know they also argue that it's going to put people at r

i started going aggressively to latin america to start trying to draw and fly capital to bring it to the u.s. and even though you know there was a lot of the expelled lot written about. big banks lending to latin america they were actually in many cases taking out more than they were lending out very interesting and you said it hasn't always been this way this is how when when and how to change is the consequence of the deregulation craze of the late seventy's and even that's what that was part of it part of it was just just banks looking for you know looking for new markets looking for ways to make money so it started really they began getting aggressive about it in the seventy's eighty's ninety's and have continued to this day trying to solicit deposits in and bring money in from. from out america including drug runners and gun dealers whatever is there any what agencies responsible for oversight. you know there are various agencies including homeland security that are supposed to be watching out for or for money laundering and money that's that's being pushed through by terrorist

they see the government of pakistan, you know, in a very aggressive fashion in many ways toward us. there are continued relations with the hakani network and others. but we've also got to remember that it was afghanistan where the 9/11 attacks began. if taliban and then al-qaeda take over in afghanistan we could see a very, very serious threat to the united states national security. remember, the russians, after the russians left we got out completely. so we shouldn't ignore the lessons of history. >> chris: but how about the argument. >> military there is significant success on the ground. it's tough and it's hard, as general petraeus predicted, but i've seen this movie before. it was in 2007 that the same movement to get out of iraq and we managed to push that back and the surge succeeded. >> chris: but how about the argument -- the president has already said he is going to begin drawing down u.s. troops in july. how about the argument when most of the people who would directly threaten us, for instance al-qaeda, but more of them are in afghanistan than pakistan, what if we switch

one of the comments that we made was that we thought the schedule was too aggressive. but our concern was that we thought it should be realistic. you wanted a realistic schedule. this does have a good schedule. the state has some obligations to say what that means. that is the extent of their role. this is part of the process that we helped to put in the legislation but gave you the flexibility to revise the schedules. there are still some people who think that we put a deadline for projects in state law and that was not the case. nonetheless, it is import for us to see the hard work that is being done. that is all to our benefits. i don't know when the earthquake will occur. everyone has an interest in getting it done. no one knows when the economy will turn. we will continue to watch this with ernest. we don't have any concerns to express about what we have learned about the schedule. when it went through the legislature, someone put it in a sunset date and it was a horrible sunset date at the beginning and it was changed. since then, we have had to go back and exten

an accident and they are forced to see me or the family has reported -- they are just driving aggressively>>> mark's program at the v.a. medical center is designed to get better and safely get back on the road. that starts with an evaluation behind the wheel and possible triggers that would force a soldier in a fight or flight reaction. this simulator time allows soldiers to work through stressful situations without the risk of getting hurt. >> anxiety and what causes that. it's a cellphone or a truck next to me i feel boxed. >> once the baseline is established there is time on the road, routes that get more complex and frustrating and coping strategies are taught. >> being taught to calm down more and just relax while you drive. >> if we can think of alternative options in mind we can feel empathy instead of anger or aggression. >> of course, the driver training is one part of the mental health treatment program, that includes therapy. he is getting fewer complaints from his girlfriend about his driving. >> that is always a good thing. mike nicco is ahead with the holiday forecast. >> it

so 9/11 was a result of, i argue, not having an aggressive policy and not understanding the threat of al-qaeda and what their true intentions were to not only the united states -- al-qaeda has killed more muslims than they've killed any westerners and they continue to do it, in every country in which they reside. so some notion that we're just going to go back to the way it was and somehow we're going to get -- this is all going to go away, i think, is naive at best. and that's why we have found such good partners in muslim countries who say, you're right. they got to go. they're dangerous -- their as dangerous to a muslim family as they are to an american family. and that's been our success. and i didn't talk about enhanced technique interrogations. you brought it up. but all of the interrogations that were conducted over time -- you took somebody off the battlefield, you're going to talk to them. i don't think you have to use torture to get information. i'm a former fbi guy. obviously, we had our way. but all of those interrogations netted information that helped us get smarter abou

of violence being used by the police what kind of injuries were a people sustaining this is very aggressive they were walking into the crowds and just basically grabbing anyone that was in front of them and in the tenets of the ones here in the area when when it kicks off you need to get out of there pretty sharpish because they're not going to discriminate you know young journalist process they were just in there and it was extremely chaotic it's hard to get accurate information is a lot of people still trying to track down well it is friends and family that they have they need turned out of the demonstration they're not able to find. the things that are coming out. it's very hard to get an accurate reading on. witnessing it it seems extremely low the numbers that they're releasing and we know that they think ninety arrest they're saying the numbers of people in hospital in. many more injuries and not. for the people who see as much. and george as opposition says the government is staging a witch hunt against everyone who took part in those protests speaking exclusively to our opposition l

about a system but that that's putting information on top of us i'm talking about us being very aggressive with the technology and of course is going to be problems with it but you should listen the problems that we have today in america are not your mental so my saying well i'm worried that i might not you know be doing good i know i know a guy who was a therapist he had a guy come to me said well you know i do drugs and i do alcohol and i think that the sex and. and the guy said well listen i think you should come to therapy say oh no i can't do that so why would someone i don't want to be dependent. but the truth is we're already there and we're already living under a system in which all of our money goes to these corporations we're already you know if we make a hundred dollars we really only get about twenty that's already a fact so yes we have to take risks but i think if if we aggressively try to take risk we can undo what the corporations have done and also the corporations will acquiesce i mean they're not really living beings they're into these they're structures if we limit how t

doctors and police are being very aggressive on the bryan stow case. amy hollyfield, "abc 7 news." >>> oakland city council voted early this morning to continue funding two controversial gang injunctions. more than 1200 community members addressed the council prior to the vote. one forbid gang members from associating with each others and second injunction prevents gang members from gathering in the fruitvale district is being challenged in court. >> the san francisco police chief is considering officers carrying video cameras. another surveillance video that appeared freers show officer misconduct. it shows and search and constituent drug arrest. the officers can be seen walking into the building empty-handed and walking out what appear to be a laptop and camera. those items were never entered into evidence. >> president obama delivered the commencement address at the coastguard academy this morning but getting there was a little challenging. you can see a little silhouette of air force one at the landing of the new london connecticut airport. it forc
