commissioner ambrose? >> commissioner ambrose: i see there are a lot of people here to testify. i'm interested in being educated on these issues, but i also know that commissioner lee had asked last time that we continue this item for action because she wanted to vote on it, and since she's sick, is it possible that we can take the testimony, have time to think about it? i'm sure she can watch the testimony on sfgtv and wait to vote at the next meeting in february , if th? if that would be acceptable, that would be something i would propose. >> chair chiu: is that a motion? >> commissioner ambrose: yeah, a motion. >> chair chiu: i would second that. welcome public comment today, but then, we would actually vote on it at the following meeting. commissioner kopp? >> vice chair kopp: well, my comment is i don't want to do something twice, and i can see the logic in taking public comment today and moving it to continue because i note the number of people who have communicated with others and me on the subject would suggest that if public comment is taken today, public comment at the

and turn and say that yeah then they are always going to be right next to you know to in despair ok ambrose you told a lie in there of the ten year holding the force of conservation if it's happening there thank you and good catch. what a fun story ok so our next one is nigeria's youngest ever presidential hopeful here he is. ok will the thirty five year old through these hats in the ring off of the infamous knots too young to run bill was signed into law. is making education his focus. on the election campaign trail in nigeria's capital she who is visiting a private school he's the youngest ever nigerian presidential candidate and education is his central theme. until we start to fix education that will be difficult to fix any other sectors in our nation ok we lived in the u.s. where he worked as a mathematics lecturer he's calling for thirty five percent of the country's budget to go to what's education. because of the school's principal surprised to see a politician who understands education. the school receives no state support and is financed by fees affordable only to those earning go

listen to historian stephen ambrose's account of that day: "what the central pacific crews did that day will be remembered as long as this republic lasts. white men born in america were there, along with former slaves whose ancestors came from africa, plus immigrants from all across europe, and more than three thousand chinese. there were some mexicans, as well as french indians and at least a few native americans. they had come together at this desolate place in the middle of western north america to do what had never been done before." the choreography of getting ties, rails and spikes into the right place at the right time so that workers could fasten them securely, mile after mile, was the precursor to the modern assembly line. to win the bet, workers had to lay down over 25,000 railroad ties, over 3,500 rails, and drive more than 55,000 spikes. working from sunup to sundown, central pacific workers laid down over ten miles of track in one day -- and that's a record that still stands to this very day. what an accomplishment! what an amazing example of teamwork! crocker won the money

stephen ambrose wrote a big book about it and we had band of brothers, tom hanks doing saving private ryan, band of brothers s that became an hbo thing in new orleans they opened at the national museum and it started becoming seen as a symbol of unity in the united states that we were all in it together, that there were very few dissenters of it and it was a sort of american ingenuity and the fact that the secrecy that we could keep something about grand without the german discovering the german folklore and the mythological separation of it you cannot if you go to normandy and you see those crosses and look at the english channel, you feel like it is no other side. kids are making pilgrimages over there to the beaches in omaha and utah. the makes an impression because even if they are in good shape it is hard to get up the hill with about 70 pounds on your back. the other thing my students have a hard time reckoning with is the fact that we have a complicated alliance that was in place and i think a lot of mythology tells us everything went swimmingly the whole time. i'd like to ask

ambrose burnside was there to represent rhode island, a favorite topic of the day. louisa may alcott arrived and said, where is my seat? she was pretty famous and the master of ceremonies said, your seat is anywhere but on this platform. she left. she did not stay. then the platform collapsed. [laughter] harold: french did not get paid for this iconic work, which is pretty good for a guy who did not know how to make a statue. he made a mold. they turned it upside down and filled it with clay. the head fell off. he put it back on. somehow we send it to a foundry and had it done in bronze. he got no pay. he did not want pay. he just wanted the honor of doing the work. later, they gave him a $1000 bonus. and he made replicas for the rest of his life at $1500 a piece. he again, became a very canny businessman. i'm sure you have all seen the work. it's become a symbol of everything from war bonds to the national rifle association to the first instant tapioca pudding. ready in a minute. get it? or the national guard. always ready, always there. french did not come home fo

commissioner ambrose? >> commissioner ambrose: deputy city attorney shen, just so i'm clear, if this commission were to forward one of the -- a version of an ordinance to the board at the same time that supervisor mar's ordinance was forwarded to this commission, i'm assuming at that point, it would be possible sending something back to the board for -- for the issues to also be recon -- reconciled in a public hearing on the various points. i guess what i'm getting at, reading the material from the staff, based on the comments that we had at the last meeting, seeing the e-mails here, there are at least a few of the, let's say -- what are -- there's maybe four different subject matters that you attempt to address. there's a couple more that i saw in supervisor mar's draft that he's adding to the debate. so wouldn't it be helpful if we at least had some feedback to you on where we think we're at on some of those individual items? i mean, i'm also open to just waiting to react to what they have, but i'm ready
