any other -- >> mr. chairman -- >> please pass out the amendment without objection reading of the amendments will be dispensed with. gentleman is recognized for five minutes for the purpose of offering and explaining his amendments. >> the package is compromised of a series of amendments that have been worked out with members of the minority addressing some corrections and some issues that members of the committee have brought to light. it includes an amendment to amend section 223. amendment to insert directive report language. and amendments to amend title 10. amendment to tielt 9. an amendment to section 137. an amendment to insert directive report language and to amend section 227. amendment to insert changes to directive report language. amendment to the following two to directive report language. ms. sanchez has an amendment to title xxxi. and an amendment to title two. >> any discussion? if not the questions on the adoption of the amendment so many as are in favor will sig niify by saying aye. tho

"the sun" today exposes the allegation tha we hacked into gordon brown's family medical records is false and a snippet we discovered the four year old son fraser had cystic fibrosis months after his birth. we can reveal the source of our information was a shattered dad whose own on also had a cripplin

so at any rate, it was filmed there. well, we were talk iing about wt could we do -- what could we offer these veterans? and it turns out because there are a substantial number of very success ful and young and active retired military officers there, a fellow by the name of eric hastings, a marine colonel, and tom o'connor, navy captain, and steele and i came up, hatched the idea of going to military hospitals and having the staff at the hospitals identify individuals to come to montana for a week and learn to fly fish. wow. this was an ambitious project, and it was a bit hard to sell it to the people in military hospitals, i mean, because bozeman is sort of a remote place. how do we do all this? well, it turns out that the bozeman area is the mecca of trout fishing so at least a number of people knew about that. and the military -- the veterans had sustained contact with their colleagues -- managed to identify people in military hospitals who could basically recruit the first group. so we brought six very severely injur

any additions? >> mission terrace, there it is. mr. mcdonnell: any other additions? >> i want to ask the consultants, it is the filipino community corridor and recognize that could? -- is that a recognized neighborhood? >> could you repeat that? >> my question is, is the filipino community corridor on mission street recognized neighborhood? i think there was a map submitted that was called the filipino corridor. >> i don't think we have that on our list of recognized -- of our list of submitted neighborhoods. >> yes, we did, it was submitted. ms. tidwell: i guess it was not clear to us at that time. >> i am trying to get to the member proposal. >> i'm sorry, what did you say? >> it was not clear to us that was a neighborhood a proposal, so we did not digitize it. >> so, how are we -- how can we resolve that? >> is it a neighborhood or more properly a committee of interest? >> i thought it was a neighborhood, the way the map was submitted, but i realize that was not digitized. >> so, yeah, do you have the map with you? >> i do. give me a few minutes, though. mr. mcdon

have any direct contact. sorry. >> any other question which is a question in fact thought about asking but i will ask it now. did you discuss the phone hacking allegations against news international with mr. cameron at any time between july '09 guardian story and your departure from news international? >> yes, i did. >> now, i wouldn't want you to say anything which it bears on the current peace investigations, you understand. in other words, relates to anybody in particular in general terms can you assist us with the content of those discussions of? >> i think on occasion, you know, not very often, maybe once or twice, because of the news and because, you know, the phone hacking story was sort of a constant, it kept coming up. we would bring this up but in the most general terms. maybe in 2010 we had a more specific conversation about it, which i think it -- that's about right. >> can you tell us about that one? >> it was more, it was one i remember rather than it being in general terms of the story being ar

all those years that perhaps relevance for any change the original one might -- any change so far. i wonder if you could comment on those two aspects? >> what they say about -- commenting on it. she was out of the picture for ages and ages. was like rumpelstiltskin. she never used a mobile phone and had no idea what it was. she has been working hard to catch up. working hard is one thing she knows how to do. the only thing one could say clearly is if one person is going to emerge, plausible democratic opposition leader, they haven't emerged yet. >> any other questions? all the way in the back. >> i am and author and journalist, bill mccallum. i wrote a book about political buddhism in sri lanka. going back to burma after 20 years. i am curious. when i go back will i find a group of monks, sayinga more politicized less so? >> i spent a lot of time in sri lanka in 2010 after getting expelled from burma. the situation in sri lanka's makes a fascinating contrast because as you are aware they have a similar variation of buddhism and they're quite devout countries but the burmese saying

does it any any way put the united states in the threat? kprap mize the sovereignty of the united states, compromise intelligence gathering ability. my recollection is, you all said no. let me put it in the opposite. does failure to rat phi this treaty, general dempsey, compromise united states the project force around the world and meet the threats within the con straights we have in a balancened and responsible way? are we are at risk at a result of failure to ratify this treaty? >> based on customary international law we will, of course, assert or sovereignty pab ability to navigate. it won't deteriorate. our ability to project force will not deteriorate. what could cause, if we do not ratify over time what could happen is that we put ourselves at risk of confrontation with others who are interpreting customary international law to their benefit. so the risk of confrontation goes up. our ability to project power is unaffected. >> so failure to ratify puts us as some greater risk of conflict. you are confident we continue to the have the

any additions? >> there was a public submission about this was the reason for the line. >> there is no publicly- submitted neighborhood boundaries for yerba buena. there is not a boundary from planned neighborhoods. mr. pilpel: i think this is referring to treasure island and yerba buena island, not yerba buena center. >> they are recommending it as a neighborhood based on public testimony, as i recall. mr. mcdonnell: the proposal is to list yerba buena. >> maybe it was one of the colored maps. mr. mcdonnell: then we will not list it. any objection? mr. pilpel: i would separate them, but i don't care that strongly. mr. mcdonnell: any objection to adding central waterfront? >> i thought it was part of the dog patch. mr. mcdonnell: we will not add. moving -- we are not moving. >> did i hear this call likely from the consultants that there is no neighborhood called yerba buena? >> not a publicly submitted neighborhood. >> it seems to me it is common knowledge where it is. mr. mcdonnell: we agreed to er

right i don't know that we have done any research to that effect it's mostly. the building department is kind of based on on the california laws which are based on national laws every city has their own laws and that but they can't restrict federal laws because they can restrict federal laws more restrictive but they can't relax federal laws so i don't know that any city purge say would attempt to regulate federal law but we can check into it and see what what is happening in it wasn't about regulation per se but just more of a policy have they dealt with it. we'd have to check into that. commissioners and. how about this if we do a little next steps or speak on this issue could we. officially asked the department to sit out. other cities. and ask them what do they do regarding this issue how do they handle it and maybe we can get an idea of what some of our sister cities are doing boston is a good example i don't know of any other new york i mean. and i'm going to take a few there and that's the kind of question i know other cities have are dealing with this r

any more questions? >> ms. cartagena, you have any -- one moment. is there public comment? please step forward. >> you have to pull the microphone. cause i am worried about the money. i had no idea you had to pay a lot of money for the permit. i got into an accident. my kids before my mortgage. this is the reason i cannot do that. i cannot fix anything that year. >> thank you. >> mr. duffy? commissioner, the matter is submitted. >> can i ask one more question of mr. duffy? were you able to see the unit? and you have a sense of when it was constructed? >> i do not see that on the notice of violation. they said when they were when -- when they went they saw this illegal units. i did notice from the property profile that the owner -- >> it is conceivable it was not there. >> she said when she bought it, thinking her family was going to move in downstairs. when they moved out, they rented it out. it probably was there before she got it sure it -- bought it. >> the penalty is $2,000. and my looking at the right information? -- am i looking at the right information? >> it is nine

director goldstein: is there any other public comment under this item? seeing none, we will move on to item number two, which is commissioner comments and questions. commissioner garcia: anyone watching this will know that i will have some comments. thank you. those were kind words, but i will take issue with one thing you said, and that is that i have done this pro bono. i have not done it pro bono. i have received a great deal, nothing monetary, but i have derived a great deal of pleasure from serving on this board, and i am pretty sad, pretty said to be leaving, and the mayor, by the way, was very gracious about the way he handled ball situation, and i'm going to assume he did it with every commissioner. he was certainly gracious the way he handled my leaving this board, but any rate, let me talk, if i may, i will limit for a few minutes. i have been here for quite awhile, and i have some thoughts about these proceedings, and i have some thoughts about the people i have served with, and -- said back. what i have really enjoyed about this board is that

is there any further discussion?>> i would like to claim some time. >> the gentle lady from california. >> in respect to mr. todd akin, i understand you were worried that chaplains may be afraid to be forthright and say i don't believe in that and i don't want to be there, even though we have protection for them. but in here you say, the religious -- the moral principles and religious beliefs of the members of the armed forces -- you are not just talking about chaplains here. you're talking about the armed forces. so let me say that i am a person who believes that in the bible, gays should be killed. i go around, -- i'm sorry, i go around and i know that you're gay -- >> wait, wait, wait. could you repeat what you said? >> if you think something that is offensive and you are attacking another person, i think that falls under ucmj. >> that is what i am saying. lying is not very well defined, and you are talking about all the members of the armed forces here. >> pc bouncing? i understand your concern. i was not in favo

whether any matter pertains to one of the commission's stault to her functions. in it's deliberation on the plan, congress emphasize z they shall have full access to all information within the aegs including that in existence. the chairman may not withhold or delay providing information requested by the commission. if both critical areas, how far, i do not believe that the processes under the current chairman satisfy the intent of the law. over the past year and a half, the commission has engaged in a pro tracted effort to resolve the disagreements over the respected roles and responsibilities through a comprehensive revision of the international operating procedure. this proved unfruitful however in resolving the underlying disagreements. exacerbating the long-standing disagreements are recent events of concern. in october of this year the chairman appeared at an annual retreat held by the agency executive director for operations and senior agency staff. within days of this event a number of attendees from retreat statute me out to express their strong reaction

. -- i will read the proposal and we will answer any questions. english language arts instructional materials adoption, requested action. that the board of education adopt the following instructional materials in support of the curriculum in english-language arts. number one, calif. treasures' common english language development. macmillan and mcgraw-hill 2010. number two, calif. literature, 6-8, a program t2. 2009. i do not know if you have questions, but we have a couple of points that we would like to make about why we did instructional materials adoption, the process and this recommendation. >> is the reason we convened this committee was because the last adoption that we had in san francisco for elementary and middle school occurred in 2003. the state held another cycle and that was in 2008. the district did not adopt at that time. the next state adoption will not be until 2018. san francisco's current adopted ela instructional materials are 11 years old, outdated. they are not aligned to the standards. it is very difficult -- it has become i

any questions on that page? overall, the summary is working closely with the departments to develop shared efficiencies. when i talk about departments, i am talking about the police department and adult probation, working within our department to create efficiencies. we are taking a look at our jails, our population counting, and our classification system, seeing what the staffing levels should be. also, population trends are still emerging. we are not sure where that is going to land. in staffing strategizing for current future needs. any questions? this is the budgeted expenditures comparison from last fiscal year. this is what is budgeted, not actual. from last fiscal year to this fiscal year. i would give you a moment to look over that. i am not going to go through all of that. if you have any questions, i would be happy to answer them. chairperson chu: we can move on to the next slide. >> this is my last slide. this is all funds and resources by a service area. here you will see the strived bars are recover

source they've been tracked ever since they never did have any actual explosives. now what's interesting in the way the mainstream media covered this story is the way that they approach it right notice specifically the word it they say that the explosives were duds and that they were controlled by the f.b.i. and that kind of roundabout rhetoric doesn't tell you the fake explosives were given to these five suspects by the f.b.i. and not only were these men being tracked but an undercover f.b.i. agents were working with them to help shape the plot to offer advice on where on how to use these explosives so once again it raises the question that we've asked so many times on this show as to whether the feds are really helping to thwart plots or only create more of them and then of course get the credit for supposedly keeping us safe either been numerous cases throughout the years that have mary much looked like entrapment from newark for the christmas tree bomber to the man who thought that he was going to blow up the capitol now those are just a few and now you can add

more than any other country the u.s. department of defense alone consumes this much petroleum as sweden does on a daily basis that's a huge amount that has to be procured day in day out three hundred sixty five days a year. to safeguard the oil the united states must have some capacity to protect it and in this country that job has been given to the military. and the military must have bases naval bases air force bases and army bases in the areas where the oil is located or along the supply routes. if you look at the map collectively there is an almost contiguous string. of u.s. military bases from poland to pakistan in this really strategic middle ground between the emerging economic competitors of the united states the european union on one hand and china and japan on the other the us has a formal policy of maintaining military dominance of the persian gulf area it's called a carta doctrine after president jimmy carter he said protection of the flow of persian gulf oil is of vital interests of the united states and to

any more more. machines on it slams and therefore we say no to all military facilities to get young to those that come in arms we say go home. in two thousand and seven the u.s. revealed its plans for a new military base in detained italy just a few miles away from the city's historical center. already hosts a u.s. military base because that. home to the southern european task force and one of ten major u.s. bases in italy area designated for the new base is the x. of indian airport. the plans for the new base include forty eight buildings over twenty acres of land i couldn't give a damn about the chance or because it's been said you have four people. three of whom are over the age of ninety and the base is a nothing of a base it doesn't generate smoke noise there's no planes landing so anybody complacent because from my point of view is a dirty commie ok but why because the italian government to reach and the authorities have decided yes and they want to make a noise even though these are entirely

any other discussion? pajama man withdraws his amendment. any other discussion? and the other amendments clack de klerk please distribute the amendment. without objection from the reading of the amendment will be dispensed straight and ranking members and it recognized to explain the amendment. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i'm going to have to raise because they have a sequential referral problem. this debate will happen on the floor next week however in this test it with the indefinite detention issue. the first thing i want to clarify is another piece of this amendment is to strike the underlined portion of the bill that mr. conaway schist reference. there was a considerable mass controversy over the nba last year and how it handles indefinite detention smi everyone on this knows. there is a part of me deeply troubled because the problem people were pointing to predated last year's nda a and somehow all kind of criticism were heaped upon not. in 2000 when congress passed the au and match and it was interpreted to allow for the indefinite contention in for the mi

so they at least on paper don't have any quotas. there's no -- and about 19% of the air force is currently female. navy is driven by how many berths aboard a ship can have female sailors. because of the way the officers are aboard ship, there's no limitation. because or very few limitations because of the way sleeping quarters are. there are only two to four to a room. so the navy has been stuck at about 14% to 15% women. and it's largely driven not so much because various occupations are closed to them, but because the way the ships are configured only x percent of a crew can be male or female. so the quotas work both ways in a sense. typically a crew might be about 80% male and about 20% female. but it varies from ship to ship. army and marine corps is a little bit different. large numbers of the jobs, the billets both the units and occupations are closed to women because they're infantry, armor, special forces or short range field artillery. and because so many jobs are closed to women, it drives the number of women below say wha

, any fear of retaliation, any fear of having their status being basically disclosed, and being deported for wanting to get health care. so it is a really important thing for us to remember that as we are thinking about comprehensive immigration reform, that we also continue to strengthen and defend sanctuary ordinance not just here in san francisco, where it has been under a lot of pressure and discussion and a lot of debate, bull also all over the country, because other cities also have a sanctuary ordinance. again, it is not about -- the way that the current dialogue that is been happening, a lot is about crime. it is actually about insuring that everybody has equal access and equal process in san francisco. so we want to put that out there and remind people that is what it is about, and we are definitely here to be able to hear any questions and again to continue strengthening and defending the sanctuary ordinance. my colleague is going to talk always more about the complaint process that people can use to file a complaint regarding a sanctuary city violation. >> thank you. if i may,

it will offset any other san francisco project. if it were abandoned, the entire investment from the new starts program will be redistributed to other projects throughout the nation. san francisco would not receive any of this funding. any hesitation from san francisco would result in immediate redirection of these funds to other cities. >> i am speaking in regard to item 49 in support of the bonds to serve as insurance findings in the event of delays or other variables. construction workers rely on these jobs like we do with local higher and other variables that deal with the work picture in san francisco. have the people of chinatown deserve the continuance of the project. being a fifth generation illustrates the knowledge of how public transportation is a vital way of getting around san francisco. i appreciate the creativity in the efforts to move the project forward regarding the hurdles and any other issues the project may face. by appreciate your support in this matter. have a great day. thanks. >> i am the senior field repre

. >> any other questions? >> the city attorney is trying to address you. >> commissioners, i believe the project sponsor's ask for it to be open until 130 a m knack -- 1:30 a.m.? no, 1:00 a.m., ok. commissioner wu: a originally you have proposed the 12:30 p.m. closing time. can you give me a sense of how you came to that time? >> it kind of provides somewhat of a middle ground, seeing that this is a small-scale commercial district. we discuss what our recommendation is and possibly coming back again for the additional hours. commissioner wu: i do not have any problems with the motion as stated. president fong: could you call the question please? >> commissioners, the motion before you is for approval with the hours until 12:30 a.m. sunday to wednesday and 1:00 a.m. thursday through saturday and with the conditions to include a restaurant and bar. on that motion -- commissioner antonini: aye. commisioner miguel: aye. commissioner wu: aye. commissioner sugaya: aye. commissioner moore: aye. president fong: aye. t

is there any objection to parties being prepared at that time to discuss actual stipulations. i hope you would workout was over stipulations occur and that you would been prepared for any witnesses you intend to call? >> yes. >> probably also helpful for you to be prepared if there are objections by witnesses. i think it would be helpful if you were prepared to argue on the 29th as well. is about acceptably? >> given the descriptions of the win the -- of the witness' testimony, i would want to reserve the ability to object later as well. >> i would think -- i am not sure we could consider excluding a witness entirely. i hope if you had an objection to a witness you would raise that. >> if we can discern the scope of the testimony and make the decision based on what we are given, we will do that. >> any other questions for the attorneys while we have them up here? thank you. if nothing further, perhaps we should take public comments. before we start public comments, comments will be limited to two minutes before it -- for each person. there is a clock that counts down. there ar

can i make it any clearer? dads, the second you see your son dropping the limp wrist, you walk over there and crack that wrist. man up. give him a good punch. okay? you are not going to act like that. you were made by god to be a male, and you're going to be a male. >> dr. harris' sermon went viral online. he sort of apologized. here's what he had to say then. >> i should not have said what i said about cracking or punching and a particular bias toward outward attraction of girls, nor should i have used the words "special dispensation." i did not say that children should be squashed. i have never suggested children or those in the lgbt lifestyle should be beaten, punched, abused either physically or psychologically in any form or fashion. >> harris says right there he never suggested children in what he called the, quote, lgbt lifestyle be beaten or punched. that is not true. he not only suggested it, he said it flat out. you just heard it. he said, give him a good punch. we asked sean harris to come on the pro

i am available to answer any questions. president garcia: it would seem like redwood is giving off that color. >> [inaudible] >> could be required -- could be required that they painted some color that would match? that is a lot to absorb all once. they have a low height on the base. something that is not yet painted. they have that natural look to the wood. bat is creating some of the problems having to do with aesthetics. is that possible to work and to some tort of -- some sort of regulation? >> the department will require that they painted the equipmente color of the existing put to the best of their ability. we will verify that the requirement. right now, -- the permit was suspended, said they had to cease operations. that was one of the reasons they were not able to move forward. president garcia: thank you. >> commissioners, the matter is submitted. president garcia: something does seem a little unfair. i live in an area where all the facilities are underground. and i think there was a time when, if you lived in an a

sees you i don't think any. concessions with us you mentioned economics there and china is the largest holder of u.s. debt why does washington appear to be so provocative towards its biggest lender for example considering selling f. sixteen fighters to taiwan i think there has been us consistent diplomatic policy the only insist on setting to taiwan are those who do not admit that so why is an independent contractor that is being a us foreign policy for many decades and i don't think there's any reason for us to change it now even if they want to have a better relationship with china. i hear a lot about the u.s. view but what in your view is china's current policy towards ties with the u.s. in terms of those here in paris beijing what are they really thinking i think for china actually there any do stores you know this is i think is a bit. complicated i ding on the economic side they also or wants. more aid and more cooperation from the u.s. but other human rights you see on the security i doing this perceive us

seeing none. >> are there any further commissioner comments? >> greater than greater than i think some of this is frustrating for everybody. as director day mentioned, our department is responsible for building permits from renovation and new construction, but we are also responsible for applying the codes. in this situation, it is a matter of educating and letting the public know, proactively -- and on this issue maybe we could work with the mayor's office on disability. we have not accessed appeals, which works within our department, to put together an out rich program to the business community in conjunction with the small business commission. it is a problem that is growing and affecting our business community i think might be a good idea that they may have been out reprogram designed around that maybe we can get this bill drawn and the mayor's office on disability and practically put an outreach program together. would help to have businesses know what is happening. it is an important program making our business is accessible to everybody.
